    country view rv park

    Close to Rt 40

    They have huge back in spots mostly level even though it’s gravel. It’s in a field so no frills. Dispersed campers look like they live there. It was a quick trip off 40 to get there and it was quiet and spacious. Good for an overnight rest.

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area Campground — Pickwick Landing State Park

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area

    The scenery is beautiful. Plenty of fish activity with multiple campsites on the water with a steady breeze. No Potable Water sites. Bathrooms do get cleaned in the morning. Using Verizon and AT&T, service is great averaging between 3-4 bars. Spoke with some of the Rangers. Renovation plans are in place coming January 2026 to make this campground gated with PIN access for paying campers and will be adding RV parking. There is currently an issue with individuals driving to the campsites throughout the day and night utilizing the park’s amenities without paying. First night at least 5 vehicles drove in and took control of the bathrooms/showers for hours throughout the night. One came out and started, what sounded like, a chainsaw. My belief was to intimidate us given we were the only paying campers and we looked at their direction due to the noise they were making. Constant yelling and argumentative behavior among the individuals. It takes the Rangers 20-30 minutes to arrive if called so you have to ride out the uninvited guests and hope they leave you be. The Rangers themselves, are very polite and they were honest about the issue. However with how much ground they have to cover with limited staff and resources they can’t control the situation until the renovations begin. My advice, if you want to avoid potential conflict and harassment wait till the park renovates.

    Serendipity Resort

    Warning to Blue Oval Families& Traveling Workers– AVOID Serendipity RV Park

    We were long-term tenants at Serendipity RV Park for over two years, paying$950/month. My husband works for Blue Oval, and we want to warn others: this park does not respect or value loyal tenants. On July 8, 2025, a Serendipity employee ran a mower into our RV, damaging our slide-out. Instead of taking responsibility, they brought in Ralph’s Mobile RV Repair—a contractor who showed up without notice and“repaired” it using silicone instead of 2 sided adhesive, it look horrible, he smearing silicone everywhere, and bent up parts of the trim that had not even were not even originally damaged. We documented everything, expressed our concerns immediately. Ralph returned later, didn’t even remove the old silicone, and caked more on top. When we pushed back, he became aggressive and confrontational—at one point suggesting he could“meet” my husband somewhere. Serendipity never inspected the work. Edward, who’s on-site daily, never once came to speak to us. Instead, we got a dismissive text saying they were“satisfied” with the work and that we should“file it on our insurance.” The damage was caused by their own employee—yet they refuse to make it right. On top of that:• They’ve overcharged our card multiple occasions and add illegal card processing fees.• in addition to the$950/monthly space rent, they have installed meters to charge electric ON TOP of the$950(they want MORE money but do not even maintain our lawns properly)• The park is poorly maintained. Grass gets a foot tall before it’s mowed, and employees recklessly use riding mowers near RVs. We were respectful, always paid on time, and expected to be treated fairly. Instead, we’ve dealt with poor repairs, price gouging, and total disregard. If you’re a Blue Oval worker or traveling family, do yourself a favor—avoid Serendipity and Ralph’s RV Repair. You deserve better.

    Serendipity Resort

    Trashy, unkept, rude staff, overpriced, no respect for guests

    My husband and I have always loved Serendipity and looked forward to visiting for the last several years.  That has definitely changed with the latest owners.  The girls in the office have smart mouths and zero customer service skills.  The grounds look awful, grown up grass everywhere.  It appears they only mow about 25%.  Food is poor and overpriced.  Ron and Daphne are truly missed.  There is no personality to Serendipity anymore.  It used to be a nice resort style rv park now it ranks as bottom of the barrel.  Just sad.

    Chewalla Lake Recreation Area

    A great place to do nothing.

    The shaded footpaths make walking the trails on a hot day still enjoyable. Quiet, low humidity, and plenty of camp sites to choose from make this location a great place to unplug and relax.

    Corinth RV Park

    Muddy uneven mess

    water spickets are buried in a hole and when it rains the hole fills up with mud. Spots seem to be first come first serve even if you reserve one. Camp host is never here and the Ross to the back lot or the top spots is a nightmare. Road sucks!

    Cross City RV Park

    One of the Better Short Stay Campgrounds

    This review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.


Guide to Toone

Camping near Toone, Tennessee offers options ranging from primitive sites to full-hookup RV parks within a 30-mile radius. The region sits at approximately 400-500 feet elevation with a humid subtropical climate that brings hot summers and mild winters. Local camping areas feature primarily hardwood forest terrain with oak and hickory trees dominating the landscape.

What to do

Hiking trail exploration: Big Hill Pond State Park Campground offers extensive trail networks with boardwalks crossing wetland areas. One camper noted that "the boardwalks and observation deck were really fun for the kids, but most of the trails were too long for us so we didn't see the whole park." The park features a fire tower that provides panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Water recreation: Thousand Trails Cherokee Landing provides water access with an "emerald green lake, plenty of room between campsites." The park offers boating opportunities, though some visitors recommend bringing your own vessel as one camper mentioned: "Friends met us there with a boat and we spent the whole time out on the water or grilling."

Horseback riding: Chickasaw State Park Campground features equestrian facilities and trails. A visitor reported that "This is a great place to go RV camping, tent camping or even wrangler camping. It is a quiet park with hiking, biking, horseback riding, boating, swimming, and much more." The park maintains a dedicated Wrangler camping area specifically for equestrian campers.

What campers like

Lakeside camping: Big Hill Pond State Park Campground receives praise for its water access and newly renovated sites. A camper shared, "Newly renovated camping spots have a nice big table and fire pit. The camp spot has a bunch of trails and a lake nearby. Firewood for sale on site as well as a small store with ice and snacks."

Dark sky views: Multiple campgrounds in the area offer minimal light pollution. A reviewer at Big Hill Pond noted: "This is a dark sky area, so come during the new moon phase for views of the Milky Way!" Similar conditions exist at several parks in the region.

What you should know

Site accessibility: Many campgrounds have size limitations for RVs. A visitor to Big Hill Pond warned, "One of the nicest parks in West Tennessee but not for RV's over 26 feet. Great hiking." Carefully check vehicle restrictions before booking.

Facility maintenance varies: Serendipity Resort and other parks have mixed reviews regarding upkeep. One camper noted, "Campground is clean and organized. The pads are made up of ground pavement. They are quite close together. Each site has its own 50/30/110 electric, water and sewer connections."

Reservation requirements: Most parks require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. A visitor to Joy-O RV Park warned: "Pulled in at 9:45 pm. Number to call was on door. Called it and msg said they'd return call next day. We needed to reserve that night."

Tips for camping with families

Water park access: Serendipity Resort offers additional water recreation beyond standard swimming. A camper explained, "We were there for 3 days and my kids used the water park. They had a blast on the jumpers and got very wore out. The water park is a $20 charge a piece on the first day and goes down to $10 a day for the rest of your stay."

Affordable activities: Country View RV Park provides basic amenities but convenience for families seeking budget-friendly options. A visitor noted, "They have huge back in spots mostly level even though it's gravel. It's in a field so no frills."

Educational opportunities: Pinson Mounds Group Camp offers unique archaeological learning experiences. The site includes Native American mounds with one reviewer recommending to "Visit the BIG mound, it is a lot of steps but has the most amazing view of the entire park and will make you realize just how tall it really is."

Tips from RVers

Overnight considerations: Several parks near Toone serve as convenient stopover points for travelers. One RVer at Joy-O RV Park shared: "Simple stop over spot. Spots are level and gravel lined with decent hook ups."

Hookup availability: Joy-O RV Park offers full hookups for RVers passing through. A camper mentioned, "Campground has full hookups, right off of I-40, nothing fancy, but laundry available. Pull thru site, didn't need to disconnect 5th wheel. WiFi very poor, useless."

Site spacing: For those seeking more privacy, Cherokee Landing offers better site separation than some alternatives. An RVer noted the campground provides "plenty of room between campsites" though they also mentioned the park is "in the middle of nowhere" which may require planning ahead for supplies.
