Firefly Hills

13 RV Sites

Firefly Hills in Beattyville, KY, offers 13 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit. The park is rated big rig friendly, open all year, and explicitly LGBTIQA+ friendly. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a community fire pit, and RV storage cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. A pond, walking trails, pickleball, and gaga ball fill the wooded grounds, with hiking and kayaking close by. Beattyville sits in Lee County in the eastern Kentucky mountains, minutes from some of the most concentrated outdoor terrain in the Appalachian South: Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park, Clifty Wilderness, Daniel Boone National Forest, Muir Valley, and Hollerwood Offroad Adventure Park. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Climbing season at the Gorge fills this park — reserve well ahead for spring and fall.

Yeary Valley Farms

4 RV Sites, 4 Tiny Houses

Yeary Valley Farms in Speedwell, Tennessee, offers four full-hookup RV sites and four tiny houses on a working farm in the Appalachian highlands, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Themed cabin rentals, farm animals, and a pond make this a farm stay rather than a conventional campground. Four back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. Four tiny houses and individually themed cabins serve guests without a rig — the themed units are much of the appeal here. At four RV sites, availability is genuinely limited, so book well ahead. Pets are welcome. The farm setting carries the experience, with farm animals on the property and a pond for fishing. Hiking, boating, and stargazing run from the area, and the dark rural sky at this elevation is worth an evening on its own. The position is unusually good for outdoor recreation. Norris Lake — Tennessee's finest fishing lake — has a public boat launch two miles away, and the Royal Blue Wildlife Management Area's extensive ATV and UTV trail network is 12 miles out. Off-roading is nearby, which draws a steady share of guests. The farm sits right off Highway 63 in Speedwell, with Flat Hollow Marina, Blue Springs Hollow Boat Dock, Powell Valley Resort, a Sunoco fuel station, and a Dollar General all within short distance. Summer lake season and fall riding weather drive demand. With four RV sites and four tiny houses, reserve as far ahead as you can.

Roamstead

27 RV Sites, 21 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites, 9 Yurts, 1 Airstream

Roamstead in Cosby, TN, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites, 21 cabins, 6 tent sites, and 10 Airstream and yurt rentals, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 44 feet. RV sites break into four categories — deluxe, standard on-stream, standard off-stream, and water-and-electric — with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. The on-stream sites put running water a few steps from the door. EV charging is available on the property, still uncommon in this corner of Tennessee. Laundry, a bathhouse, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and on-site dining round it out. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, a spa, a pavilion, a community fire pit, and a playground fill the grounds, with hiking and creek fishing from the property. Cosby sits on the eastern edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park — the quiet side, well away from the Gatlinburg corridor, with Clingmans Dome and Abrams Falls a drive away and less-trafficked trails much closer. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. On-stream sites and the Airstreams book earliest.

Spacious Skies Bear Den

68 RV Sites, 20 Cabins, 31 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Bear Den in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, offers 67 RV sites, 20 cabins, and 31 tent sites directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 324.8, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Premium pull-through and full-hookup back-in categories join water-and-electric tiers, with a lake, beach, jumping pillow, and gem mining. Sixty-seven sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, premium pull-thru 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer, and note the 40-foot cap — mountain terrain sets the limit here. Twenty cabins and 31 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. One safety note: the adjacent trail system belongs to the Foothills Conservancy and crosses public and private land with known logging and hunting activity — those trails are not supervised by the campground. A lake and beach anchor the summer, with a jumping pillow, arcade, game room, recreation center, sports courts, basketball, ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, gem mining, golf cart rentals, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. The property sits inside Pisgah National Forest at the base of the Black Mountains, the highest range in the eastern United States. Fall foliage drives the sharpest demand. Reserve well ahead for October.

Uncle Jim's River Cove Campground

80 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Ninety-eight feet is exceptional for the Smokies, where terrain usually limits length. Every site gets a fire pit, charcoal grill, and picnic table. The buddy sites suit two rigs traveling together. Five tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and an indoor bathhouse handle the practical side. The river carries the recreation, with a beach, swimming, fishing, and inflatable water toys. Sports courts, pickleball, basketball, gaga ball, a playground, dog park, and picnicking fill the grounds. Pets are welcome, and there is a dog park for them. The address is 2575 Pittman Center Road, in the Sevier County countryside between Sevierville's commercial corridor and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Greenbrier entrance — close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg without sitting in the traffic. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead for June through October.
