Riverstone Campground

Riverstone Campground operates seasonally from April through October along Highway 73 in Townsend, with sites accommodating RVs up to 50 feet and full hookups available. The campground sits between the main highway and Little River, creating a compact layout where several sites back directly to the water. Traffic noise from Highway 73 carries through during daytime hours but typically quiets after dark.

The Little River provides the main draw here, with swimming access and some riverside camping spots that fill quickly during peak season. Sites include fire pits and picnic tables, with water hookups at each location. Devin M. notes the campground was "definitely packed but everyone stayed pretty quiet" and appreciated that "water on EACH site was the bomb." The bathhouses offer hot showers, and campers consistently mention their cleanliness in reviews.

The property shows its age and could use updates according to several visitors, though the tree coverage provides good shade throughout most sites. A camp store, playground, and pool add convenience for families. The facility accepts reservations and welcomes pets. Morning sounds include both birdsong and the nearby stream flowing past the sites.

For campers wanting more space, Smokey waters campground sits just northeast with a different layout and atmosphere.

A riverside campground with clean facilities and friendly staff that guests commonly noted. Highway traffic creates some noise concerns, though the atmosphere remains generally peaceful. The property shows its age but offers good amenities.

Nice space for sites

This is an older campground that needs some upkeep but it is nice and quiet. There are lots of trees, and shade. It is right on the Little River, some sites back to the river. Very large RVs May have tried. Pool, playground and camp store. Full hookups.

Small campground

Several sites on beautiful river. Campground needs updating and some landscaping. But I guess if they updated the rates would be a lot higher.

Decent campground between the highway and river

Office staff was friendly and helpful, we ended up with a riverside lot which was pretty nice, had a firepit and a table with chairs setup. It's not a huge campground but it's clean and the lots are reasonably sized.

Convenient location

Tucked away in quiet town of Townsend TN on Hwy 73, the campground has tent sites and RV hookups. There are toilets and a shower for each restroom. The restrooms were clean and plenty of hot water. It is just off the main hwy and there is plenty of traffic noises, but that dies down at night and you wake up to the birds chirping and the sound of the nearby stream. Staff is friendly. Had an enjoyable stay

Fun and clean

wonderful campground. It was definitely packed but everyone stayed pretty quiet even when kids were playing around the sites. Super clean sites and bath houses. Water on EACH site was the bomb! Homemade icecream at the old mill campground was a major bonus
