Rolling Meadows Family Campground

1 RV Site

Rolling Meadows Family Campground in Murphy, North Carolina, offers a water-and-electric back-in RV site alongside cabins and tent camping in the far western corner of the state, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 35 feet. A brand-new heated bathhouse, disc golf course, and laundry serve a Cherokee County property still finding its way onto the maps. The RV site is water-and-electric back-in, carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp service, sized to 35 feet, with a fire pit and picnic table. Plan around the hookups — water and electric rather than sewer, with a dump station on site — and note the 35-foot cap. Contact the campground for current availability of additional sites; the property is new and expanding. Cabins and tent camping round out the lodging. A dump station, portable toilets, and a new heated bathhouse and laundry handle the practical side. One navigation note the campground states plainly: the campground and its road are so new that many GPS applications do not have them yet. Try 195 Hampton Church Road — their radio station neighbor — and follow signs from there. A disc golf course, bocce ball, corn hole, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with boating nearby. Pets are welcome. Murphy sits at the far western tip of North Carolina where the state meets Georgia and Tennessee, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. The Hiwassee and Valley Rivers, Lake Hiwassee, the Tail of the Dragon, and Harrah's Cherokee Valley River are all close. Spring and fall foliage drive demand in the western mountains. Reserve ahead for October.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns & Campground

55 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 22 Tent Sites, 5 Glamping Sites

Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites at the entrance to a 5.5-mile guided cave system, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Compact and deluxe pull-through categories join rustic back-in sites, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Fifty-five sites span compact pull-thru, compact pull-thru max tow, deluxe pull-thru, and rustic back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The compact max-tow category is a thoughtful distinction for smaller rigs with a vehicle in tow. Nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Three policies to know: no hammocks or car camping on any site, no tents on RV sites, RVs manufactured before 2000 require photo approval, and you must be 21 to book. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, pavilion, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park besides. Sleeping beside the cave entrance is the singular draw — one of the Southeast's most accessible wild cavern experiences, with Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center

28 RV Sites, 19 Tent Sites, 1 Lodge

Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center in Cave Spring, GA, offers 28 full-hookup creekside back-in RV sites, 1 lodge, and 19 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Every site is a creekside full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. Check-in is 3pm and early check-ins can't be guaranteed, though the center asks guests to reach out in advance if they need one. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, kayak rentals, and both RV and boat storage cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. Big Cedar Creek runs the length of the property, with a ball field, sport courts, volleyball, a playground, and walking trails, plus kayaking, boating, water sports, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. Cave Spring sits in the ridge-and-valley country of Floyd County, about 40 miles northwest of Rome in the northwest Georgia mountains. Rates for sites, the lodge, and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer creek season books first — and ask about early check-in ahead of time if you need it.

Sweetwater Sights RV Park & Cabin Rentals

Sweetwater Sights RV Park and Cabin Rentals in Robbinsville, North Carolina, occupies a remote and spectacular position in Graham County, one of the least densely populated counties in the eastern United States and home to some of the southern Appalachians' most dramatic river gorges, old-growth forests, and wilderness landscapes. Set at the western edge of the Great Smoky Mountains region where the Nantahala River carves through its famous gorge and the Snowbird Mountains rise above narrow hollows filled with rhododendron and hemlock, the park serves as an ideal base for serious outdoor adventurers targeting the region's premier whitewater, hiking, and backcountry fishing opportunities. Accommodation options include both full hookup RV sites and cabin rentals, giving guests a choice between self-contained travel and prepared lodging in a location where the remoteness of Graham County's terrain makes having a comfortable base essential after long days in the backcountry. The park's infrastructure serves guests whose priorities center on outdoor activity rather than resort amenities—the natural environment surrounding Robbinsville provides more recreational value per acre than almost any other location in the southern Appalachians, making the campground's role as a comfortable, reliable base its primary contribution to the guest experience. The Nantahala River Gorge, easily accessible from Robbinsville via US-74, is one of the most famous whitewater destinations in the eastern United States, drawing paddlers from across the country to its eight miles of Class II-III rapids in a deep, forested canyon where the river receives direct sunlight for only a portion of each day. The Nantahala Outdoor Center operates the region's most comprehensive rafting and kayaking operation from the gorge, and the river's consistent flow—fed by Nantahala Lake above—makes it runnable throughout the paddling season in a way that rain-dependent Appalachian rivers are not. Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, accessible via a scenic drive north of Robbinsville, protects one of the largest remaining stands of old-growth forest in the eastern United States—a grove of poplar, hemlock, and oak trees reaching diameters of over six feet that stood here before European settlement and survived through a combination of terrain inaccessibility and purposeful preservation. Fontana Lake's 10,530-acre impoundment provides boating, fishing, and access to the southern boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park via the Lakeshore Trail. The Cherohala Skyway, one of the most celebrated scenic byways in the Southeast, departs from Robbinsville and climbs to over 5,000 feet through the Unicoi Mountains into Tennessee. Sweetwater Sights operates seasonally from spring through fall, with the whitewater paddling season from April through October driving consistent demand from adventure-focused travelers, and fall foliage weeks in October filling capacity with scenic drive and hiking guests who fill the narrow valley with color-seekers each autumn. The park's remote setting in Graham County—two hours from Asheville and Knoxville—means guests who arrive tend to stay multiple nights, making it a destination property rather than a convenient overnight stop. Reservations during fall foliage and peak summer paddling weekends should be secured well ahead of arrival.

Stone Mountain Park Campground

263 RV Sites, 40 Tent Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 17 Yurts, 6 Onsite RV/Trailers

Stone Mountain Park Campground in Georgia offers 270 RV sites, 40 tent sites, and 20 glamping and yurt units inside the park's 3,200-acre property, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full hookup, super site, and cabled categories join a lake, kayak rentals, and pool, 16 miles from Atlanta. Two hundred seventy sites span full hookup RV, full hookup super site, and full hookup with cable categories, along with four- and six-person rental trailers, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 90 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Forty tent sites and 20 glamping and yurt units round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Cancellations more than five days before arrival are refunded less a $30 fee. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a lake supporting kayak rentals, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming. Sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, biking, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds. Staying inside the park is the advantage — the mountain, the family attractions, and the natural spectacle that draw Georgia's visitors are all within the gates rather than a drive away. Pets are welcome. Summer and fall drive demand at one of Georgia's most visited destinations. Reserve well ahead.

The Cabins at Long Branch

3 Cabins

The Cabins at Long Branch in Topton, NC, offers 3 handcrafted two-bedroom cabins at 3,500 feet above the Nantahala Gorge. This is a cabin property rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. WiFi covers the property, and there's a playground. The elevation and the seclusion are the product. A lake, creek frontage, and mountain forest surround the cabins, with fishing, kayaking, boating, whitewater rafting, and birding all close. Topton sits high above the Nantahala River's Class III and IV whitewater corridor in the southern Blue Ridge — one of the most-run stretches of whitewater in the eastern United States, with the Nantahala Outdoor Center and Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Three cabins in peak rafting and fall color season book out early — and call about RV accommodation before you tow.

Nantahala Ridge Campground

3 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Nantahala Ridge Campground in Bryson City, NC, offers 3 full-hookup RV sites and 5 cabins, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Maximum rig length isn't published, so call with your dimensions before booking — the roads in this canyon are narrow and it's worth the minute. Laundry is on site, and the five cabins give guests without a rig a place to stay. Pets are welcome. Three RV sites in a river canyon is the appeal: hiking from the property, dark-sky stargazing, and no crowd. Bryson City sits in Swain County where the Nantahala runs cold and clear through a corridor of rhododendron and hemlock, minutes from the Nantahala Outdoor Center and the southern entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Confirm your rig's fit when you reserve, and book early for rafting season and fall color.

Gorgeous Stays

5 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 2 Glamping Sites, 1 Yurt, 3 Vintage RV Rentals

Gorgeous Stays in Bryson City, NC, offers 3 RV rentals, 5 cabins, 3 tent sites, and 3 glamping sites and yurts. The RV accommodations here are the point and they are not ordinary: a double decker bus called The Crown Jewel, a converted school bus billed as the Travel-Inn Skoolie, and a vintage Shasta camper. These are rentals rather than sites for your own rig — if you're towing, contact the property directly about hookups and fit before booking. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a community fire pit, and a pavilion serve the grounds. Pets are welcome. Glamping here means the conveniences of home without the distractions, and the property leans into that: billiards, ping pong, picnicking, planned activities, creek frontage, and fishing, with biking and a casino close by. Bryson City sits in Swain County in the western North Carolina mountains, minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with the Nantahala, Fontana Lake, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad all nearby. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. The vintage rentals are one-of-one — book them early.

A water park, outdoor pool, splash pad, and beach anchor the summer, with a boat ramp, boat docks, and boat rentals giving direct lake access for boating, fishing, paddle boats, kayaking, and paddle boarding.

Jellystone Park™ Watts Bar

173 RV Sites, 55 Cabins

Jellystone Park Watts Bar in Loudon, Tennessee, offers 173 RV sites and 55 cabins across 74 acres on Watts Bar Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 63 feet. Luxury back-in and dedicated Bark n Roll dog-friendly sites join standard categories in the Tennessee River Valley. One hundred seventy-three sites span standard back-in, standard pull-through, luxury back-in, and Bark n Roll categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 63 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The Bark n Roll sites are purpose-built for guests traveling with dogs, which is a genuinely useful distinction rather than a marketing label. Fifty-five cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, and restrooms handle the practical side. A lake sits on the property, with a recreation center, playground, pavilion, dog park, golf cart rentals, gem mining, and picnicking across the wooded and open acreage. Pets are welcome. Watts Bar Lake is the setting, and the 74 acres of rolling countryside along its shoreline give the resort a natural character that complements the Jellystone programming rather than competing with it. Polecat Ramp at 29302 Loudon Highway is the closest river access for guests bringing a boat. The resort serves the Tennessee lake season. Summer drives the heaviest family demand, with the shoulder seasons delivering more comfortable conditions and easier availability. Reserve well ahead for July and August weekends.

Smoky Mountain Meadows Campground

1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Smoky Mountain Meadows Campground in Bryson City, North Carolina, offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping and cabin rentals across an open meadow valley four miles from the Deep Creek entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sites accommodate rigs up to 42 feet, and the campground's meadow setting — framed by forested ridgelines rather than enclosed by them — gives it a more open feel than most sites in the Tuckasegee drainage. Full-hookup RV sites take rigs to 42 feet, with a dump station available on the property. Tent sites serve campers who want the valley setting at a simpler price point, and cabins provide enclosed lodging with the same meadow outlook. A general store stocks camp basics and firewood, and bathrooms, showers and laundry cover the practical side of a longer stay. WiFi reaches the campground. On-site recreation centers on the meadow itself. A playground anchors the family end of the property, and basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and corn hole give guests something to do without leaving camp. A community fire pit provides the evening gathering point, and a covered pavilion handles group meals and rainy afternoons. Pets are welcome. Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Deep Creek entrance sits four miles north on Deep Creek Road and holds the most accessible waterfall cluster in the park — Tom Branch, Indian Creek and Juney Whank Falls all fall within a 2.5-mile walk of the trailhead, and the creek's calm Class I water makes Deep Creek the park's most family-friendly tubing run. Bryson City itself is the departure point for the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad through the Nantahala Gorge, and Harrah's Cherokee and the Museum of the Cherokee Indian are eight miles northwest on the Qualla Boundary. The campground runs April through October. Spring wildflowers peak from late March into May and fall color arrives in the Tuckasegee valley through October — the two busiest windows of the year alongside the summer national park season. Reserve early for October weekends, when Bryson City lodging fills across the board.

Jellystone Park™ West Georgia

36 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Jellystone Park West Georgia in Bremen, GA, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites, 10 cabins, and 6 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 100 feet.

At 100 feet the deluxe pull-thrus take anything on the road. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and golf cart rentals cover the practical side, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome.

Bremen sits at the intersection of I-20 and U.S. Highway 27, putting Atlanta less than an hour east while the resort itself makes the city easy to ignore. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Deluxe pull-thrus and summer weekends book first.
