NEW! Private RV Sites on Kentucky Lake – Owned by Fellow RV Enthusiasts
Welcome to our little slice of heaven! These private RV sites are personally owned and managed by a retired couple who share a deep love for RV living. We hope you enjoy the peace, beauty, and simplicity here as much as we do.
Our sites are located in a gated, private community along the Tennessee River section of Kentucky Lake — the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi. Spanning over 160,000 acres with 2,300 miles of stunning shoreline, Kentucky Lake is a top destination for boating and fishing. The lake is well known for its abundance of largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, bluegill, white bass, and more.
The community features a private boat launch and dock, with boat storage included in your stay. Whether you prefer to fish, kayak, paddleboard, or simply enjoy the views, you can do it all right from your site or from the nearby community water access area.
Several of our sites are situated along a 4-mile-long, tree-lined cove — calm, scenic, and directly connected to the lake — making it the perfect spot for peaceful mornings and sunset paddles.
Open Year-Round
Whether you’re looking for summer fun or a mild winter escape, we welcome both short-term and long-term stays.
Note:
-Rates shown are daily. Contact us for a discount code for weekly or monthly stays.
-RVs must be self-contained, as there are no public restrooms in the community.
-Water levels in the cove are seasonal, as they are managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Unfortunately I was delayed and only got to stay one of my two reserved nights. The spots were similar in spacing to established camp grounds, but felt private as they backed up to open private land you can explore. A nice outhouse and fire wood were a very short walk from all sites. And appreciated the electric at the site for easier cooking!

The owners did a great job landscaping the sites and the sites have gravel instead of dirt so it wasn’t messy like some sites are. The location is off of the main river with trees on the backside.

This was our second stay here, and was just what we needed to escape Nashville for a night.
The site is next to a small pond and was just as enjoyable as we remembered. We expected mosquitoes because of the water, but they were surprisingly minimal all weekend. We did get a few tiny ticks.
The biggest change since our last visit is the trees. They’ve leafed out enough that getting a hammock hung is much more difficult now. I ended up using my Haven XL stand instead, so I wouldn’t consider this site hammock friendly anymore unless you don’t mind spending time looking for a workable hang.
It was hot and humid during our stay, but the frogs made up for it once evening came. I even put my action camera in the pond hoping to capture some underwater wildlife. No fish or turtles, but the tannin-colored water was incredibly clear.
We’ll definitely be back. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a quiet weekend surrounded by nature.

We enjoyed our time at the campsite. It is right off their driveway but still private enough. There is a creek close enough that you can hear the rush. Site was clean and spacious. Bathroom area was decent as well. In my experience it was about 20 minutes from a gas station, no cell service but you can get service at a spot about 5 min up the road.

Where to go
Pickwick Dam Area
South of Pickwick Dam, Pickwick Landing State Park is watersports central, with a marina and an array of boat rentals, including kayaks, canoes, fishing boats, and pontoon party barges. Landlubbers may prefer to play the 18-hole golf course, try their hand at disc golf, or stroll the two easy hiking trails. Campers will find lakefront tent sites and RV sites. North of the river, the Bruton Branch State Recreation Area has primitive tent sites, most of them by the water.
Southwest Tennessee
For more tent and RV campsites, check out the small towns and farms near the lake and the Tennessee River in southwest Tennessee. Glamping options—think cabins, Airstream rentals, and horse farms—are plentiful too, and many have boat ramps. Top small towns for camping include Counce, Savannah, and Henderson, and the TVA manages the 92-site Pickwick Dam Campground in Savannah.
Mississippi & Alabama
Skinny Pickwick Lake stretches from Tennessee into the northern reaches of Mississippi and Alabama, where waterfront campgrounds are just as recreation-focused as their neighbors in Tennessee. Cabins and campsites are close to both the lake and the Tennessee River at J.P. Coleman State Park, which is perched on a lakeside bluff in Mississippi.
Memphis & Jackson Surrounds
Home to the National Civil Rights Museum, blues-playing Beale Street, Elvis Presley’s Graceland, and a booming food hall scene, Memphis is a full-immersion destination. Not far from the city and close to the Mississippi, campgrounds, RV parks, and glamping destinations are plentiful on farms and forestlands. Memphis is 120 miles west of Pickwick Lake, while Jackson, another urban launchpad, is 60 miles north of Pickwick Dam.
