Rustling Pines Campground

16 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Rustling Pines Campground in London, KY, offers 16 RV sites and 1 tent site, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come in two categories, full-hookup and electric-only, with full-hookup sites carrying water, sewer, and electric plus site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit, in back-in and pull-thru layouts. The campground is rated big rig friendly, and at 80 feet it takes the longest coaches. A general store, firewood, and a bathhouse cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. The trails are the differentiator: four miles of clearly marked riding and hiking trails on the property itself, suitable for all abilities, with longer routes running out from there. Creek frontage and walking trails fill the rest of the 40 acres. London sits in Laurel County adjacent to the Daniel Boone National Forest, in southeastern Kentucky's Lake Cumberland region — a practical base for the forest, the reservoir, and the waterfall country around it. A state park and a lake are nearby. Rates for full-hookup and electric-only sites are on the booking page. Trail-riding weekends fill the campground.

Uncle Jim's River Cove Campground

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

Uncle Jim's River Cove Campground in Sevierville, Tennessee, offers 84 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites on the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 98 feet. On-river, river loop, mountain view loop, and buddy site categories join a beach, playground, and pickleball courts. Eighty-four sites span full-hookup on-river, full-hookup river loop, full-hookup mountain view loop, and full-hookup mountain view loop buddy categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 98 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. 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.

Pigeon Forge Landing

99 RV Sites

Pigeon Forge Landing in Sevierville, Tennessee, offers 99 full-hookup RV sites along a lazy river, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet at a brand-new resort. Executive Waterfront back-in, Mountain View Executive Plus, and Executive+ pull-through categories join standard tiers, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Ninety-nine sites span Executive back-in, Executive+ pull-thru, Executive waterfront back-in, Mountain View Executive Plus, Mountain View, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming categories by outlook — waterfront or mountain view — tells you exactly what you are booking. A general store handles the practical side. One policy to clear first: the resort has a ten-year age restriction on all RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval — send a photo to [email protected] before booking. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Canoeing, kayaking, pickleball, and hiking round it out. Pets are welcome. The property is new throughout, which shows in the finishes. Sevierville sits minutes from the Pigeon Forge entertainment corridor and the western entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park — the most visited national park in the country at more than 12 million visitors a year. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard in the Smokies. Reserve well ahead, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

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.

Welcome to Adventure Bound Gatlinburg, our family-owned Gatlinburg, Tennessee campground.

Camp Leconte Luxury Outdoor Resort

18 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites, 7 Glamping Sites, 2 Treehouses, 3 Vintage RV Rentals

Camp LeConte Luxury Outdoor Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, offers 21 RV sites, two treehouses, seven glamping sites, and five tent sites four miles from downtown, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Named retro campers — Glamping at Tiffany's, Miss Daisy, and The Ruby Slipper — join European safari tents in a curated lodging mix. Twenty-one sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. Note the 42-foot cap before booking a larger rig. The lodging is the distinguishing feature: two treehouses, seven glamping units including European safari tents, and the three named retro campers give guests genuinely unusual options in a corridor where most properties offer standard cabins. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a playground, pavilion, and ping pong on the grounds. The mountain setting and creek nearby round it out, with birding productive across the property. Pets are welcome. Gatlinburg's downtown Parkway is four miles away, with Great Smoky Mountains National Park access adjacent and the full Smoky Mountain entertainment and dining infrastructure within minutes. An amusement park and wine tasting are nearby. The resort has run since 2013 as a family-owned boutique property. Summer and October foliage drive the heaviest demand in one of the most visited tourist corridors in the country — reserve well ahead for both.

Soggy Bottoms Campground

11 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Soggy Bottoms Campground in Liberty, Kentucky, offers 11 RV sites and three tent sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 120 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join a general store, playground, showers, and creek frontage. Eleven back-in sites run in full-hookup and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 120 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. One hundred twenty feet is exceptional capacity for a park this size and accommodates anything on the road with room to spare. Three tent sites round out the lodging, and the tent rate covers one tent — additional tents need to be added to the reservation. A general store, dump station, and showers handle the practical side. A creek runs the property for fishing and canoeing and kayaking, with a playground and volleyball filling the rest. A national park area is nearby. Pets are welcome. Casey County sits in south-central Kentucky's rolling farm and forest country, genuinely rural and quiet. Liberty is the county seat, and the area is close enough to reach several of the state's better outdoor destinations without staying in a crowded corridor — Green River Lake, Lake Cumberland, and the Daniel Boone National Forest are all within a reasonable drive, with Mammoth Cave farther west. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Kentucky conditions, with summer drawing lake traffic through the region. Demand runs steadily rather than seasonally at a park this size. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

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.

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.

Spacious Skies Hidden Creek

108 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 26 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Hidden Creek in Marion, North Carolina, offers 108 RV sites, 18 cabins, and 26 tent sites at the base of the Black Mountains, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Premium creek-front pull-through and lakeview categories join standard back-in sites, with a pool, mini-golf, and gem mining.

The creek-front and lakeview premiums are the ones to request. Eighteen cabins and 26 tent sites round out the lodging.

Pets are welcome. McDowell County's gem mining tradition is genuine rather than a novelty, and the surrounding hollow-and-ridge terrain marks the Blue Ridge's steepest eastern escarpment. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the North Carolina mountains. Reserve well ahead for October.

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.
