Very scenic place!! We spent 6 nights here, hiked & biked a lot. Off season, so some of the amenities were closed (pool looks awesome). The campground itself isn't really all that great, prepare for some levelling. We lucked out in the B loop, as a small trail (Grassy Overlook trail) took us to see the northern lights one evening. I highly suggest stopping here for a few nights, an under rated area.

We arrive very late, after all day travels from Florida. My phone had three bars, Verizon 5G ultra wide signal.

My teen daughter and I had a last minute midweek opportunity to go tent camping and they were so accommodating and friendly here. Beautiful riverfront grassy tent sites are serene and peaceful. Highly recommended

GuideStayed 4 nights in section D. Our site was ok. There were a lot better sites to stay though. Staff was helpful and friendly. We had full hookups. Lots of shade.
Scout
Their website is from 2018. They have new owners and have let transit stay there campers look terrible. The place is really went downhill. It used to be really nice. Beware if you have a new camper. Looks like that newest campers like a 2010.

This place is great. Wife and I stayed in the cabin. Owner of the camp is awesome. We had our own bathroom in the bath house. They also have big cabins, tent and RV spots. There is also a full size kitchen in the bath house. There is a e throwing, fire pit, ping pong, plenty of board games, tv’s, internet, great views, a small waterfall, and the best camp dog around (Gunner).
TravelerThis is a great spot located right next to USA Raft. There are a handful of tent only riverside camping spots with RV sites set back from the river. A short trail brings you to Cherokee Beach where you can swim and chill out, or float in a tube back to your campsite. Camp can get a little noisy if you are in the RV area though.
Guide
Very typical KOA. We’ll kept, sites are gravel, level and not too close. Bathhouses are new and clean. WiFi is so so. Convinient to I81.
LegendThis is our 2nd time staying here for a quick overnight stay. I would definitely like to stay here longer! Even though it's very close to the interstate, it was very quiet. We had a full hook up site, relatively level. It had a picnic table and fire ring. Shower rooms, laundry room, and store, as well as snack shop! The camp hosts were very kind and friendly. Lots of walking around we area. We were in site B1 46 dollars a night.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! I would love to welcome Safe Haven RV to the Dyrt, among the highlights of this RV Park are the nearby forests & mountains, but also the full pavilion overlooking the water. Check them out and make sure to share some pictures from your stay!
Traveler
Nice campground. Water views, but not every site has lake access. Poplar #63 didn’t have water access, but members of my group across the street allowed me to access the lake from their sites (60 & 62). The ire was flat. Directions to the site via navigation app were good. Road was in good condition. There was a bit of boat noise and some road noise. Generators shut down at 10, so that was nice. Watch out for the squirrels; they are sneaky and watching you. Don’t walk away with food on the table!
TravelerThe campground is beautiful and very clean/well kept. The bathrooms were clean and the water was nice and hot. The camp hosts are all very polite. The location is perfect and I loved being near the water. I was very happy with everything and already booked my next stay
GuideLoved this campground right along the river. It was awesome when we kayaked and took out at our site. Definitly will return.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. This A-frame cabin comes with 5-gallon refillable solar heated water bag, porch, cooking area, outhouse, gas fire pit, lounge chairs, and a beautiful mountain view! Come check them out and leave them some love!

KOA I-40/Crossville, TN - We stayed one night in October, full hook ups, 50 amp, good wifi until the evening but our cell service was good. $59.87 per night, $53.88 with KOA discount. Nicely maintained park with level concrete sites in the front with grass, fire rings and picnic tables that were in excellent condition. Friendly, welcoming staff with a nice gift shop/store. Hand dipped ice cream is available along with freshly made pizza and wings if you don’t want to cook. It does sit right next to Highway 70 into Crossville and can be noisy but it didn’t bother us. Each bathroom is a private toilet and shower, very clean, nicely tiled and plenty of hot water. Small laundry, two washers and two dryers but there may have been additional laundry towards the back of the park. The park seems to be broken down into three sections, concrete pad pull throughs in the front, then the office area, then a second section of sites with gravel pads and these are closest to the bathrooms, then further out is another area with a pond or small lake for catch and release fishing. Well manicured property. Would definitely stay again and the ice cream was really good.
GuideSite that we stayed in was wide and long. We did not feel squeezed in. The park has been expanded or reworked recently. Campground is clean and well kept. The office staff is friendly and easy to work with. Outside staff are always on the go and do not slow down to talk.
GuideEasy to access this campground. You feel like you are in the countryside and you are right. There is a driving range for the individuals that need to get their golf fix in. There is room to walk around and you can see the stars in the night sky. Staff is very friendly. Nice place to stop for a over night rest or even a few days.
GuideThe campground was nice, the staff friendly. Apparently there is a lot of bear activity, although we did not encounter one. The sunsets are to die for!
LegendNolichucky Gorge is right next to USA Raft, same road, same entrance to the left. Veteran owned and well maintained. The staff is friendly and professional. River view sites, other sites and cabins. It seems that the two campgrounds have property issues that are not of their own volition. You have to pay to walk the river trail and use the beach if your not a guest of the campground. I only stayed one night , it was peaceful and dark. Access to the Appalachian Trail.

Stayed here with a group . I van camped, a Bell Tent, Avion camper, Geodome , and mini house was rented. All pretty well maintained. There were a few electrical issues due to the crowd that arrived for a music event over the weekend. They sorta stick people all over the place when their busy. Beautiful view along the River. Bar and food truck with vegan options on site. We whitewater rafted, the guides were excellent and it was an awesome trip. The AT meanders along the River and is easily accessible from the campground. Be flexible if you stay here, their reservation system leaves a lot to be desired, but it is a very layed back and enjoyable stay.
LegendThis is a cute KOA campground at a great price! Pool, Waterpark, driving range, 2 lakes, showers, bathrooms, mining for kids, playground and store. They offer hand packed ice cream and hot foods daily as well. A great place to stay with kids! We stayed in C5, basically level gravel site, not too close to other campers. There are cabins, too.
TravelerCampground was nice and clean. Most sites have a view of South Holston Lake and trail access to the water. Shower house were clean. All sites are primitive.
Travelerwhen the boats go quiet. Spacious sites; peaceful campground; clean showers.

If your goal is to enjoy camp while still having access to amenities like showers and restrooms, this spot is great. Owners are great and very accommodating. There are RV’s and a few homes within eye sight, but not so crowded as to feel like you are in town. There were some OHV trails close to the campground as well as various hiking locations.
ScoutBeautiful, clean, peaceful place. Staff very friendly.
GuideThere are few places that I've been to that top this location. Super easy camp ground to get to with excellent paved roads in very close to each of the Tri-Cities. The camp ground is well organized with many amenities including super easy access to the water on all sides and surprisingly clean bathrooms. After the boat noise dies down the lake is extremely peaceful and placid. I could not recommend this area more for a weekend away. Note the Verizon cell service is spotty at best, but sometimes this is welcomed.
