The best big rig friendly camping in Tennessee

Name: Tennessee
Address: Tennessee
Rating: 4.789

The geology of the Volunteer State is surprisingly dramatic. The landscape soars from the delta lowlands of the Mississippi River east to the rugged heights of the Cumberland Plateau before climbing the forested slopes of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The varied terrain is well-suited for active campers, from paddlers and rock climbers to fishers and firefly hunters. And hikers? They’re happy everywhere. Tent and RV sites are abundant, and a growing array of glamping options—yurts, retro trailers, and treehouses—keep the camping scene fresh. And in music-loving Tennessee, a live jam is never far away, be it blues, bluegrass, or Bonnaroo.

Cosby, TN · 67 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Roamstead was born on a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or thought regarding design. Alongside that, many campgrounds seemed unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent 'roughing it' in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors. We believe the beauty of nature should be experienced by everyone. It's good for your health, and the more we connect with and learn about the outdoors, the more we'll feel compelled to protect it. Whether you've been camping all your life or this would be your first trip, we're here for you. We aim to build a bridge (you know, a metaphorical one) to the great outdoors, where all adventures can truly feel welcome. Roamstead is committed to making our outdoor spaces accessible to everyone. At our Smoky Mountains location, we're partnering with Friends of the Smokies to do just that. Friends assists the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. They restore trails, build handicap accessible access points, and provide urban youth educational opportunities in the park, to name just a few of their many projects. A dollar of each stay at Roamstead Smoky Mountains is donated back to Friends of the Smokies to help continue their mission.

3 nights at Broken Banjo

If I could give Broken Banjo more than 5 stars, I would! Our family of four stayed in the Treehouse Cabin and it exceeded our expectations. It was cozy, clean, well cared for, and tucked toward the back of the campground, which gave us a peaceful setting while still being an easy walk to everything. The staff truly made our stay special. Karen patiently answered all of our questions before arrival. Steve went above and beyond by safely opening the pool after local storms so our boys could swim. We ended up having the pool and slide to ourselves for about two amazing hours! He also delivered our firewood that first night. Jody in the camp store was incredibly sweet and welcoming. A HUGE shout-out to Eric! He was exceptional—kind, attentive, accommodating, and always making sure we had everything we needed. He kept the pool and activity areas clean and ready and always took time to check in with us. The pool was exceptionally clean every single time we went in! The wife and I enjoyed having coffee on the porch each morning. Our 12-year-old loved the playground and the pool - while making new friends, on the other hand our 17-year-old loved basketball and the pool as well. We also enjoyed putt-putt, the water slide, grilling, a campfire, morning walks, and sitting on the porch watching a rainstorm. My wife and I even went down the slide and felt like kids again! We always felt safe, welcomed, and cared for. We made amazing family memories and are already planning our return!

The Safari tent was an incredible experience! I really was considering the tree house experience but the safari tent had everything we needed and the AC was a life saver😁.

The treehouse was great. Easy to find even in the dark. A/C was running when we arrivedm It was so cute and comfortable. We really appreciated the porch and campfire area as well

2 nights at Maple Shade Farm full hookup site

Quiet, lush and lovely. Attention to all the little details make this site a true delight! Flat back-in gravel site. Full service site. Fits our 38 foot TT well! The roads into the sight are a little tight for our 105" wide. Okay with caution. Great place for dogs including walking trails and a large field to be off leash. Owners met us upon arrival to ensure we landed well and were incredibly kind even providing a care package including trail map and biscuits for the dogs! Five stars out of five only because we can't give six!!!

Nice place to stay, easy in and out for parking and easy ride to Nashville for work. Would not hesitate to stay again, my dog met some friendly dogs at the dog area. Utilities worked just fine , power was solid even through a big storm.

Amazing campground. Clean bathrooms with the best camp shower I have ever used. The tent was so darling with a porch swing and the A/C worked amazingly.

Tennessee camping guide

Where to go

West Tennessee

Bordered by the Mississippi and anchored by Memphis, West Tennessee works best for campers seeking music, history, and low-key outdoor thrills. Tents and RVs are welcome at Pickwick Landing State Park, known for its lake and watersports, while birdwatchers may prefer driving north to Reelfoot Lake State Park, where bald eagles are plentiful. Shiloh National Military Park spotlights a pivotal battle in the Civil War.

Middle Tennessee

Marked by cliffs, waterfalls, wild rivers, dark skies, and lush forests, Middle Tennessee is a geologic drama queen. Packed with state parks along the steep edges of the Cumberland Plateau, it’s also a top destination for camping and active travelers. Visit Nashville, home to honky-tonks, hot chicken, and Vanderbilt, then hit Fall Creek Falls, a deep-green state park loaded with waterfalls. Stay in cabins constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in Cumberland Mountain State Park or CCC Pickett Memorial State Park—where you can go stargazing. The Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area draws adventurous paddlers, and campers can even sleep beside the 444-mile Natchez Trace Parkway, a historic trade route that stretches from the Mississippi River to Nashville.

East Tennessee

Prefer urban adventures? Knoxville and Chattanooga await. Knoxville is best known as the state capital, but mountain bikers love the city’s urban wilderness and its 50-mile network of trails. Chattanooga is a convenient base for rock climbing and whitewater rafting. The craft beer scene in both cities impresses too. For hiking and solitude head north to Frozen Head State Park. Families with varied interests may prefer Big Ridge State Park, which offers trails, lake swimming, and volleyball and basketball courts.

Great Smoky Mountains

The most visited national park in the United States, Great Smoky Mountains National Park sprawls across eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail bounces along the boundary line between the two states. The park has nine developed campgrounds and numerous backcountry shelters. Tent sites, RV parks, cabins, and glamping destinations punctuate the foothills region, which is anchored by Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
