Southlake RV Park

   We only stayed one night, but will return to take advantage of the prime lake front tent spots! On the map it shows individual sites, but it’s more of a disbursed area. You can see in my pics how close you are to the water, you could easily launch a kayak, swim, fish, etc. and the frogs and crickets sing so loud at night! It’s wonderful! However, in the morning there’s some road noise, we stayed on a weeknight, so weekends could be better, but I’m not sure. There is a portable restroom in the tent area, it was extremely clean, I didn’t go in the bathhouse. 
   The rest of the campground is rv sites and is heavily wooded, so there’s lots of shade and privacy despite being close together. They also have a nice pool! 
  The campground is very close to downtown knoxville too. We really enjoyed it and would recommend. 

Tent spots on the lake! 

If you are wanting to fish the bank or even put in kayaks this spot is money. The tent sights are located right on a great fishing cove on Fort Loudon reserve. We booked tent site 7 but when we got there someone was fishing off the point where our campsite was supposed to be. We just took the spot next to it and didn't bother. They ended up leaving late and we had what is somewhat like our own private island that night. The peacefulness of that evening was far from the same in the morning. The tent spots towards the point are apparently very close to the hwy and morning commute traffic was pretty loud. It is probably not near as loud on the weekends but we stayed Sun night so heard Mon morning commute traffic. 

Great fishing hole for tent campers

Very nice facilities. We were just here for an overnight between Virginia Beach and New Orleans. Had spot C1, which is directly across from the restrooms/showers. Partial shade, nice little deck. Convenient water and electricity hookups, good WiFi. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. 

Great overnight stay

Beautiful park to pass through for Christmas night on the Lake with snow!!  Beautiful site with lots of trees.  They communicated with me because we were getting in on Christmas night &amp; can’t wait to return to stay a few nights next time.  

Great place to spend Christmas Night passing through

Smaller park on a pond that looked like much of the water had drained from it. Possibly just for the winter. We had a late check in so our information was left attached to the front door making it easy for us. Pretty basic campground with limited amenities.
