The best waterside campgrounds in Pickwick Lake

Pickwick Lake draws campers who want waterside sites, easy access to swimming, and a laid-back vibe. Over 760 options line the banks and coves here, with average nightly rates around $38 and some starting as low as $20. Bring your dog—most campsites are pet-friendly. You’ll find toilets and showers at many spots, so you can rinse off after a long day in the saddle or a swim. Horseback riding trails cut through the woods, and hiking routes wind right down to the water’s edge. Top picks like Seven Pines River Resort (25 reviews), Camp Wonder Wander is Wanderful (17 reviews), and Camping by the Creek (15 reviews) get repeat visitors for a reason: shady sites, accessible swimming holes, and a friendly, relaxed crowd. If you want to wake up to the sound of water and end your day under the stars, this is the spot locals keep coming back to.

Beautiful brand new campsite right on the Tennessee river in Clifton, Tennessee. Located in White Oak Landing, a gated community with awesome other RV'ers. There's a community boat ramp, boat storage area, or keep it on your lot, picnic pavilion, recreation area. And within just a short boat ride or drive there’s Fisherdale, and Clifton Marinas. Ross Creek Landing Golf Course Is a quick 10 min drive. Shopping/town isn’t too far. I have two graveled sites on one lot, one is pull in and one back in. Suitable for all size RV's, $680 a month. 50/30 amp, sewer, water, electric and trash included! All pets welcome. No restrictions on breads. Internet included for longer stays. Please contact me for more information. Thank you

Weekend Trip to WOLRV@TN River

A little slice of paradise! Ed and Casey's place was really a hidden gem. The view of the river and boats going by was great entertainment. The "beach" they had with smooth white sand was very enjoyable. There's even a community playground for the kiddos and boat launch. The community was very welcoming with people waving and lots of smiles. We will definitely be returning in the future and after talking with our hosts we are excited about improvements they have planned for the future. Thanks Ed and Casey!
