Soaring Eagle Campground

The primitive tent sites are amazing, I didn’t give it 5 stars only because you can hear a little bit of road noise, as the campground is near the interstate. If you visit in spring, the lake water may not have risen yet, so summer would be better if you want to enjoy lake front camping! We took our rooftop tent and had a perfect corner spot next to the creek. Plenty of room on each site for tent camping. The bath house is pretty far away too. Overall, we love this campground, and the tent sites are the best, can’t wait to camp here this summer! 

Primitive tent sites

We had a site on the water and it was beautiful. The shower house and bathrooms were clean and worked good. The office people with very friendly. We wanted to extend our 4 night stay to 10 had no problems. The rv park is right off a major interstate and easy to get to. The salt water pool was so relaxing and clean. Great stay.

Great Place

We were in a pop-up camper and had a lakefront site, which was awesome, except for the highway noise. The campground is right off the interstate so definitely could hear traffic, but the lakefront double wide sites were great. Will plan to return in spring. The main bathhouse was one of the best I’ve seen, but we had to drive to it, as it was the end of season and the lake side bathhouse was closed. The staff was extremely nice and helpful when booking. I would recommend this campground, and will return next summer! 

Soaring eagle on the lake

This campground is super convenient being just outside of Knoxville and right off I-40. That being said it is right off of I-40 so you do get some highway noise especially right next to the water. Water was way down this time so we chose to stay in one of the tent sights furthest from the water and interstate in our rooftop tent. Bathhouses have always been clean and maintained. Wish there was a way to book and pay online but overall a great little campground and I would have no problem recommending a stay here. Would be great for anyone looking to do some kayaking and or fishing.

Great for a Staycation! 

We had reservations but on arrival someone else was in our reserved spot. The office was closed for the weekend and no one answering the phone to resolve the issue, so we moved on down the road (not sure how a business like this just closes up office for a weekend). After repeated voicemails left they finally called back 3 days later and told us standard camping practice is that if someone is in your site you just go take another site (please help me with this. I’ve been camping all my life, 50 years, and have never heard of such a practice). After some discussion they refunded our reservation. 

As far as the campground on our very short visit, I’m not too disappointed this situation happened and we moved down the road. This place was a RV parking lot (see pics). I’ve seen RV places with really close sites, but this was ridiculous. Additionally, I-40 was literally about 200 feet away so highway traffic noise has to be an issue 24/7. 

This one is on our do not return list. 

Very Disappointing 

It is definitely a reach out and touch your neighbor kind of place.. 

Small sites

This is a nice place to stay if you’re in the area. The site we had was a little small, but had full hookups. Also, we liked the trash cans all over for easy cleanup. Best part was the camp store where you’ll find some of the friendliest folks around.
