    Williamsburg, ky

    Wave!

    Spent 2 nights in July at Kentucky Splash Park Campground. Only reason it didn’t get a 5 star is first needs more shade (there are new trees growing ) and the cut through road is busy in the evening from local traffic. Nice size sites with cement or gravel parking. Cement pads with picnic tables and strangely deep fire pits.

    The showerhouse is in well maintained shape. Plenty of room and hooks to hang your stuff from. Hot water and large shower heads.

    Small playground and pavilion to use.

    Easy walk across the parking lot to the water park. Price not included in site cost. If you get a wrist ban you can get back in for the day.

    Cherokee Lake Campground

    Great deal for the money!

    Overall was impressed with the grounds! Well kept, and huge park. Only reason for 4 stars, is no sewer hookup on site. Several Dump stations on grounds, though they are free for guests. Very friendly Park Rangers at the check-in station. 30 amp hookups. Water hookup. Several Lake front spots. Shower and bathroom buildings on site. Several pavilions. Dumpsters, Lots of walking trails. As well as a boat ramp. For $25 a night, with my 28ft pull behind, I was very pleased with my stay! Will come back again!

    Anchor Down RV Resort

    The best

    Three visits, and this is a destination for our family. There is so much to do with the water activities and on site, that you could get away without a car.

    We had site 157 this time, and close to all of the amenities. We rented a golf cart ($50 a day) and pontoon boat (about $250 for 4 hours plus gas….40 for us). They have a little food truck if you want. All sites paved and many have hand made fire places. Looking south towards sevierville over the lake into the mountains. Amazing!

    Anchor Down RV Resort

    Not worth the manic owners

    One of their workers nearly jumped on the hood of my car, thinking I was trying to sneak in because he couldn't see my tag. We had a large group, and every time we gathered at 1 campsite they stopped on a golf cart to make sure we weren't sneaking in more people. We could enjoy ourselves.

    Anchor Down RV Resort

    Not all it hyped up

    If you like those under 16 drive around on golf carts and scooters!! This is the place!! Underage drivers driving crazy... not caring about who or what was in their way. Loud & rowdy! We didn't even finish out our last 5 days. Couldn't handle it!!! And super tight for our 45 ft bus. Never again!! To far from sightseeing also.

    Cumberland Falls State Resort Park

    Small but Nice!

    Easy to find, well marked. It’s has many (12) trails and many falls. Would definitely recommend shopping before camping, it’s several miles, and mountains, to get to stores. There are several lodging options…cottages, The Lodge, (which is beautiful) tent and RV camping. There are 2 small campgrounds ~ 1) Ridgeline which accommodates RVs up to 26”, water and 10/30/50 amp hook ups. Sites have a fire ring and picnic table. WiFi is available, and there is a dump station. A small playground, office/campstore, and a bathhouse and laundry next to it. 3 sites are walk-in. Big rigs would have to stay elsewhere. 2) Clifty Campground is tent camping only 7 sites offer electric and water. WiFi is also offered. There is a bathhouse and a playground, and these CG’s are pet friendly. (Falls Creek is a few miles up the road…they have pull through and back ins. For bigger Rvs. They also have tents, wagons, cabin rentals, and primitive sites) We had no T-Mobile service, or satellite service in our vehicle. The trails and Cumberland falls were awesome. The horse rides looked amazing, and the Pool was big, with a diving board, and a small fee for campers to use it.

    Ride Royal Blue ATV Resort and Campground Pioneer, TN

    RV Heaven for ATV/OHV/SxS Camping!

    Approximately 4 miles off of exit 144, from I~75. Easy to locate, and a well maintained RV campground! Website has all the info on the different types of sites, cabins and ATV’s. Resources for permits, pricing, and other requirements are also listed. The trails are accessible from the CG. FHUs on Back in and Pull-throughs,bathhouses, on site fishing pond, playground, and Ohhh yes….the ATV wash station! General store is on the right from the entrance, which is awesome! They sell firewood and ice, as well as extreme OHV sporting equipment/gear, snacks, souvenirs….to list a few. Rental cabins are available nearby, for larger families or groups. I believe they thought of almost everything! I would love to come camp here in the fall, as I can imagine that the views are spectacular! They provide WiFi, but my T-Mobile reception was good, at 3 bars.

Sites are gravel, back in and pull through, FHU. They also have cabin and home rentals. There is a bathhouse, dog park, and trail access. A picnic table and fire ring are also at each site. There is an ATV washing bay. I had good reception with my T-Mobile, but they offer WiFi.

    The Ridges At Royal Blue Campground

    RV park for ATV lovers

    Easy to find off of I~75, exit 144. Approx. 2 miles down Stinking Creek Road, on the right. The entrance sign is easy to see. Go a short way down the gravel road. The bathhouse is on the right side, RV sites are straight ahead, and on the left. They are level, gravel sites, and 2 are pull through. There is a small playground, and there is ample spacing between each site. They are full hook ups, and appears that there are a few, with just water and electric. The views are just beautiful! The trails are accessible from the RV park. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. The mother RV park, Ride Royal Blue, is up the road, approximately 2 miles on the right. The general store and office are located there. You can also buy firewood, ice, propane, and general necessities. There is also a diner, directly across the street. As well as an ATV service shop. My T-mobile service was three bars while I visited the RV park. There are no frills, but ATVers aren’t looking for that at this RV Campground.

    Big Creek Gap RV Park

    LaFollette, TN~RV Park~ATV access

    Visited this RV Park conveniently located off of Hwy 25W, on a Wednesday afternoon, on the way into LaFollette. Minutes from shopping and restaurants. It has 12 Back-In sites, level gravel, with FHU. 30/50 amps Cost is $40 plus tax, per night. When you arrive a picnic table and fire ring will be set up at your assigned site. The sites are easy in and out, and long enough to accommodate your vehicle and your RV (and also an ATV, if you’re traveling with one) Access to The Cumberland Trail, ATV, and Tank Springs entrance, is literally across the street from the RV lot. You must call to make reservations Tuesday-Friday 8a-4p and on Sunday 11a-4p. I Had good T-Mobile reception with 3 bars.

    Eagle Rock Resort & Campground

    Amazing Area

    Eagle Rock Resort & Campground is amazing. If you are looking for a place to ride trails and relax, this is the place. You could seriously come here multiple times a year and still not see all of the different trails. The site manager, Jeff, and his staff was extremely nice and helpful. Always there to please and help make your experience one to remember. I am not the camping type so the condos they have for rent was perfect for my group. Spacious and clean with everything you need. We even had very comfortable king size bunk beds, never seen anything like it before. Cannot say enough great things about this experience. Definitely worth a stay!!!

    Moon Hill Bridge

    It's a cute cozy spot that is on either side of the road. Every spot has an area for a fire and also your car and tent. The only downside is that sometimes it does get trashy and there are a few people who live here.

    Patrick’s Point River Camp

    A great little getaway spot!

    We will absolutely be back! I’ll be honest, as a visibly queer person with rainbow hair I was a bit nervous about the Bible verses and Christian flag due to past experiences, but Patrick and Angelica were welcoming and friendly the entire time!

    The RV spot with shade was great! It’s right next to the bathroom but everyone is spread out enough it wasn’t an issue at all.

    Strong WiFi, pet friendly, and a beautiful, peaceful spot with very friendly owners!

    Douglas Tailwater Campground — Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)

    Some good, some bad

    We camped here while in town for a concert. I love a good riverside campground! The view was great. Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to fish. The campground layout was interesting… Some sites were normal, but then some seemed like they were parking spots on a gravel lot. We got lucky and had a good site because I used someone’s drive thru YouTube video to help select a site. Our site was still edited because it was down a small side turn off, but it wasn’t a loop, so you had to completely back your camper down the road a couple of sites to get it when leaving.

    Palmers Junction Dispersed Camping

    Not too shabby for the south

    Lots of lil cozy pull offs on an easy gravel road. Lots of longer term people staying it seemed like (or just really full send camping friends lol). Many fire rings and spots by the lake. Unfortunately the other reviews are right - A decent amount of trash. There are trash cans and porta potties. I’ve seen worse porta potties at festivals but there were a few stinky ones.

    West Campground — Norris Dam State Park

    Site #2

    We stayed at site #2 which was nice but had soft ground from prior rain (when other sites had already dried up well). There were a lot of headlights on us from traffic entering the campground, even up til MIDNIGHT on Saturday. I would stay here again but would choose a site more towards the backside of the loop for less traffic going by your site

    Wilderness Road State Park Campground

    Very mixed bag

    This campground had some good features: hookups and bathhouse were good, location is very pretty, staff clearly take good care of things. Mostly older folks mid week so pretty quiet.

    But for some reason there is a path that goes through several campsites. We booked one of these sites without knowing (B12), which meant we had strangers walking through our campsite all the time. Our dogs hated it and so did we! Also sites are close together, most aren’t level, and some are in clear disrepair. They also do a good job cleaning the bathhouses, but they do it from 8-9am which is also when many people are trying to use them.

    Overnight stay

    Good for an overnight stay. Full hook up, clean facilities and friendly people. You have to navigate a busy intersection or a narrow road to get there. Not to bad though.

    Ripplin Waters Campground

    Great Campground

    Nice campground with spacious sites! Has gate at entrance so no worries about locking everything up. Great view of the Pigeon River and good places to catch smallmouth bass along the river. Sites are level and graveled with a concrete pad and table. 50 amp service full hookup. Just a short trip to Pigeon Forge and you can catch the backroads and avoid traffic into town. Really can't beat the campground for the price!
