Best RV Parks & Resorts near Chattanooga, TN

1,152 Reviews

Battlefield Campground & RV Park in Ringgold and Holiday Travel Park near the Georgia/Tennessee border provide full hookup sites for recreational vehicles traveling through the Chattanooga area. Most parks offer 30/50 amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections with pull-through sites available for larger rigs. "The sites are very close to each other, and most of them were full when we stayed," noted one camper at Battlefield Campground, highlighting the typical spacing in the region's RV parks. Mountain Glen RV Park receives positive reviews for its level sites and reliable utilities, while Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground features gravel pads that may require leveling blocks. Sites at Holiday Travel Park include concrete patios with wooden picnic tables and metal fire rings.

RV parks in the Chattanooga region generally remain open year-round, though amenities like pools typically close during winter months. Cell service varies significantly between locations—Mountain Glen offers "fast WiFi" according to reviews, while parks in more remote mountain locations may have limited connectivity. Navigation to some parks requires careful driving, particularly when towing larger rigs. A review mentioned that "coming up the mountain has some steep grades and a few switch backs that you can't see around," cautioning drivers about potential hazards. Most campgrounds provide sanitary dump stations, though some parks have reported tight turning radiuses that make access challenging for larger fifth wheels. Pet-friendly policies are common, with many parks featuring designated dog areas. Propane service is available at select locations, and advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak seasons.

    Chattanooga North-Cleveland KOA

    Clean, Quiet, Friendly

    Friendly Staff, Clean Bathrooms, Convenient Location. No honeywagon for water and electric only sites, but dump station in campground. Some very nice private sites and none of the sites except maybe a few look very small or tight- pretty spread out. Lots of tent sites. You definitely hear the highway here, but not a big concern for us. Pet friendly with a very nice dog park. Pool for the kids. Playground is little more than a residential style wood swingset, but it kept the kids entertained.

    Mountain Glen RV Park & Campground

    The Best of the Best!

    Mountain Glen is a hidden gem! If you are traveling through eastern TN or just looking for a place to park your RV for a few weeks or longer of peaceful quiet then you have to stay here. I've stayed in RV parks across 38 states and never found cleaner bathrooms, friendlier customer service, or faster WiFi (and that's important since I work remotely!) than what Mountain Glen RV Park offers. They've also got great water pressure, easy pull-throughs, after-hour check-in options, and a convenient store in case you forgot some essentials. In addition to the great amenities, you'll be greeted by rolling scenic vistas of beautiful countryside, having fishing opportunities, pavilion or indoor meeting room to hang out with friends, playground for the kids, and pet friendly areas for your dogs to enjoy.

    Mountain Glen is definitely a must-stay and the best of the best of all the RV parks and campgrounds I've ever stayed at!

    Battlefield Campground & RV Park

    Convenient and functional

    Battlefield Campground & RV park is locates right off the exit in Ringgold, Ga, right behind the Georgia Winery, so it is very close to Chattanooga. The campground seems to have a lot of long term guests, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing retreat to the woods. The sites are very close to each other, and most of them were full when we stayed. We were on site #69, right across from the pool. The Campground does have some nice amenities like the pool, and playground, dog park, and the pavilion, which I’m not sure what this space is used for, but it was nicely furnished and could be used to host a party or something. The restrooms were exceptionally clean! The bathhouse located in the pavilion was very nice. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient for us to get back and forth from Chattanooga, but I would only return out of necessity, as I prefer to be a little more secluded when I’m camping.

    Battlefield Campground & RV Park

    Woodsy Wayside

    Battlefield Campground is an extremely convenient RV park located right of I-75 about 20 minutes south of Chattanooga. It is very easy to get to, but part of that convenience comes with an absence of quiet; the interstate runs directly beside the campground, and is visible from the storage sites across from sites 11-24.

    This is an excellent place for long-term campers, and it includes a nice playground, a pool, and a camp store/clubhouse. We could not get close to the pool or playground as they were closed due to COVID-19, which was comforting that they are taking public safety seriously. Sites include 50 and 30 amp full service, and seven tent sites in the middle of the campground that also include electric. There are seven camping cabins spaced throughout the campground that have outside picnic tables and grills, and beds inside as well as electricity.

    Most of the sites here are nicely wooded, and as the area is slightly hilly there are elevation changes between several rows of sites which allows for a little more privacy than many RV parks offer. 

    Downsides to this park are the highway noise, and the campground roads are paved but in need of maintenance; the road is eroded in a lot of places. 

    Upsides are the sites are shady and well landscaped, and there are great amenities for families looking to stay here for extended periods of time, as well as the proximity to Chattanooga, Chickamauga Battlefield, and Ringold/Ft. Oglethorpe.

    411 River Rest Campground

    Very nice campground in N. Georgia

    For summer vacation, my family wanted to spend one day rafting the Ocoee River and one day at Six Flags in Atlanta. We picked this campground due to its location in between and within an 1-1.5hr drive of both activities. Turned out to be a great decision!

    Pros: VERY nice facilities (camp store, bath houses, playground), hospitable owners/staff, kid & pet friendly

    Cons: the provided Wi-Fi was unreliable on back edge of campground (AT&T cell signal was fine)

    DeSoto State Park Campground

    A Family Favorite

    Desoto State Park is one of our favorite Alabama places to visit, located in Northeastern Alabama and the southern end of Lookout Mountain. We try to camp here in the spring and fall each year when available, the closest towns are Fort Payne and Mentone. There are ample shopping areas and restaurants in Fort Payne which is about 10 miles from the campground if you need to make the trip down. The park has so much to offer and the staff there goes the extra effort to ensure your stays are pleasant and enjoyable. The hiking trails are abundant throughout the park, the Scout Trail is our favorite as it winds next to the river banks and over numerous rocks and scenic water features. This trail can be physically challenging and be sure to verify the river levels beforehand.

    The campground is well maintained and the sites are level for the most part, our favorite site is 25 but we’ve stayed in several others end enjoyed those as well. The sites in the upper and lower loops are mostly back in sites with a couple of pull through and buddy sites also. The middle section is all pull through sites for the large coaches and 5th wheel RV’s. All sites at Desoto are equipped with water, electric, sewer, cable TV, table, fire ring and grills. The bath houses are some of the cleanest we’ve seen, relatively new with excellent amenities including laundry. There is also WIFI broadcast at each of the bath houses.

    There is a great lodge restaurant, cabins old and new, swimming pool, tennis courts, Zip Line and a CCC museum. Put this one on your list as it’s never disappointed our family. The Little River Canyon Preserve is nearby with additional hiking and fantastic Canyon vistas you will have to go see.

    Holiday Travel Park

    Great Stay

    Overall good stay. Little bit pricey. But the spots are nice. We pull a fifth wheel toy hauler. Had a pull thru spot with full hook up. Restroom/shower house close by that was very clean. Contactless check in. Online reservation. We brought our dogs along, and everybody had a dog here with them. You do have a little bit of yard in front of your camper but your neighbor is a little bit close. Close to Chattanooga and the sites. We did the zoo, aquarium and Rock City. Long weekend trip.
