Best Cabin Camping near Vonore, TN

Toqua Beach Campground in Vonore offers furnished cabins with full hookups and modern amenities, situated along the waterfront with easy boat access. Cabins include electricity, running water, and basic furnishings for comfortable stays throughout the year. "The cabins themselves are relatively nice - very rustic so don't expect anything fancy," notes one visitor about similar accommodations in the region. Nearby Sweetwater KOA provides cabin rentals with access to their swimming pool, playground, and other family-friendly amenities, while Hidden Lake Campground and Resort features cabins with water views.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most cabins in the Vonore area accommodate families with multiple sleeping arrangements, though specific layouts vary by property. Reservations are recommended, especially during summer months when Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitation peaks. According to reviews, "Mattresses in bunk beds are very thin plastic pads" in some budget cabins, while higher-end options offer more comfortable furnishings. Pet policies differ between properties, with Toqua Beach Campground and Sweetwater KOA both allowing pets in their cabin accommodations.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. As one camper noted, "No sheets/towels provided so bring your own everything." Kitchen facilities vary widely, from basic microwaves to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and cooking equipment. On-site camp stores at locations like Sweetwater KOA stock firewood, basic groceries, and camping supplies. Larger grocery stores can be found in Sweetwater and other nearby towns for more extensive provisioning. Cabins with fire rings typically allow campfires, though firewood regulations may require purchasing wood on-site to prevent the spread of invasive species.

    GlampKnox

    Perfect Getaway!

    Glampknox is located in Knoxville, close to downtown and The Smoky Mountains. The area is rural and beautiful, and the views from the site are wonderful, and the location is very convenient!

    The property has a beautiful cabin that is also available to rent, as well as a wedding/event barn venue. There are horses on the property too. It is some of the most picturesque property you’ll find!

    The site has a really nice tent cabin, with a covered porch, rocking chairs, and a wood burning stove. The tent has two twin beds, and they were super comfy. It has battery powered lanterns inside for light.

    The site does have restrooms and an outdoor shower, both of which are just a short walk down to the barn. There is a large fire pit in front of the tent, and plenty of space for extra tents and great trees for hammocks. There is also a hiking trail around the property. The host also had firewood stacked for us at the tent.

    Highly recommend GlampKnox for the perfect getaway!

    Townsend-Great Smokies KOA

    Right outside of Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    Amazingly clean campgrounds 10 minutes from the entrance of the National Park and 20 minutes from the Visitor's Center.

    You have a choice of "rustic" tent sites, tent sites with water/electric/cable hook-ups, RV, or Cabins. All sites are pet-friendly including cabins. All camp sites include fire pit and picnic table.

    Lots of amenities are included in your stay. 2 bathroom areas, 1 shower area, pool, wi-fi, etc.

    There's a general store in front of the campgrounds with gas station and small cafe attached. The general store will even deliver your purchased firewood to your site.

    This Koa is near a lot recreational places and some restaurants. Also near towns like Gatlinburg, Pidgeon Forge and Knoxville.

    A nice vacation spot.

    Gorgeous Stays

    Cute place. Interesting Spots.

    Cute place. Interesting stays. Glamping tent, a bus, a tent pad, a few tiny cabins and more. Owners are nice and very accommodating. Shared gas fire area. It was a very cold night and they had our tent with heated blankets. It was definitely a Unique glamping area.

    Greenbrier Campground

    Best Around

     Greenbriar campground is located in Pittman Center, west of Gatlinburg, adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountains. The campground is certainly one of the nicest camping spots I’ve n the area. The campground is very large, and has multiple camping options. They have tent and rv spots, as well as cabins, but I also saw some teepee style tent cabins. The campground is very wooded, so you feel like you are getting a legitimate Smoky Mountain camping experience. The pigeon river runs through the campground, and is great for fishing, or swimming/tubing in summer. There is a dog park also, and the campground is pet friendly. This campground has so many things to do, and it is very popular, so if you want to camp here, I would suggest booking early, because spots are booked months in advance. The campground is very quiet at night, with just the sounds of nature. There is a camp store, with firewood, and you’ll want to enjoy a campfire, even in the middle of summer. I Highly recommend Greenbriar Campground for camping in the Smokies.

    Elkmont Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park

    Nice area to explore!

    Elkmont Campground has over 200 campsites with paved driveways, gravel tent pads, fire rings, and picnic tables. Due to its central location and variety of amenities, Elkmont Campground tends to be very busy in the summer and into the fall. Restrooms at Elkmont Campground have flush toilets, cold running water, and utility sinks. Potable water is available at spigots near each restroom.

    A variety of hiking is available in the park. Outside of the park in nearby Gatlinburg, you can find rafting trips, museums, restaurants, and more!

    Clabough's Campground

    Claboughs Campground has been a family campground for decades. They are in the midst of a renovation and facility addition. Enjoyed our first stay so much we changed to stay with them again in November

    Our site was a little tight. It was an older site but adequate. They have new premium sites that are larger and concrete by the stream. The new commons area includes a new pool, office, activity room, 12 new great secure private lockable bathrooms with 3 piece bath/shower big enough for a family or a couple to share. Also a open and covered area with 4 6ft gas fire pits and picnic tables. Lazy river is being rebuilt. Jumping pillow and playgrounds. Staff was gracious. Right on Wears Valley Rd.

    Little River Campground & RV Resort

    Such a gem!

    Husband and I wanted to get away and found this campground- it is such a gem! You can't see it well from the road, but there is a huge sign out by the road. Trust it! You're in the right place. You drive across a small bridge across the Little River when you get to the campground, but it can handle big rigs. We saw many massive Class A campers while we were here for 6 nights. We pull a 30 ft travel trailer and used a pull through site- very large spot as far as rv sites go. They have back in spots for campers and tents literally on the bank of the river and you're allowed to swim, play, tube, etc in the river at your own risk. Camp store has firewood and a few essentials, but they don't sell propane. We got ours filled at the Tractor Supply in Alcoa, TN nearby. They had crafts and hayrides while we were here. Wifi is free but not great. Verizon cell service was good enough at 3 bars the whole time. No on-site laundry services, so we had to go into town to use laundromat (nearby town of Townsend is adorable but no laundromat). The grounds offer tent, cabin, and rv sites with various levels of electric, water, cable and sewer access. Our site had 30amp, water, sewer and cable. Nice and level site, large fire pit, sturdy plastic and metal picnic table and large beautiful mature trees. The bathhouse is seriously impressive and is, by far, the nicest campground bathhouse I've ever used! One of my favorite features was random and I never knew I was missing it in my life until now.. the bathrooms have strong AC pumping right into each bathroom, making everything nice and cool when you come in from the hot campsite.. wonderful! Good view of the mountains in the distance and minutes away from Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance. This is a wonderful find!
