Campgrounds near Andersonville, Tennessee
Andersonville sits on the south shore of Norris Lake in Anderson County, about a half hour north of Knoxville. The area is defined by TVA reservoir shoreline, wooded ridges in the foothills of the Appalachians, and easy access to Interstate 75, which makes it a practical base for RV travelers moving through East Tennessee.
Campground options fall into three groups. Tennessee State Parks operates the two campgrounds at Norris Dam State Park, with the West campground offering paved RV sites with water and electric hookups and the East campground mixing RV and primitive tent sites. TVA concessionaire sites such as Loyston Point Campground provide lakefront and lake-view sites on Norris Reservoir. Private and club parks along the I-75 corridor, including Knoxville Campground, Volunteer Park Family Campground, and Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park, cover full-hookup RV needs, pull-throughs for big rigs, and overnight stops.
Norris Lake itself is the main draw, with marinas, swim beaches, and multi-use trails within a short drive of most campgrounds around Andersonville.
Things to do near Andersonville
Water recreation leads the list. Norris Lake supports boating, paddling, swimming, and fishing, and Loyston Point Campground includes an ADA-accessible swimming beach on the reservoir plus direct lake access at Point 19. Rental boats and slips are available at marinas around the lake.
On land, the Hemlock Bluff National Recreation Trail follows the ridges and bluffs above Norris Reservoir from the Loyston Point area, and is popular with hikers and mountain bikers. Norris Dam State Park adds shoreline trails, backcountry sites, and the Lenoir Museum Cultural Complex downstream of the dam.
Off-water attractions within a short drive include the Museum of Appalachia, historic Norris Dam, and downtown Knoxville. Families basing at Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park or Volunteer Park Family Campground are also within day-trip range of the Great Smoky Mountains.

TVA-managed reservoir campgrounds in this area, including Loyston Point Campground, generally operate from mid-March to mid-November, so the practical lake camping window runs spring through fall. Private and club parks along I-75, such as Knoxville Campground and Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park, stay open in all seasons and are useful shoulder-season bases.
Late spring and early fall bring the most comfortable temperatures, moderate rainfall, and full lake levels for boating and swimming. Summer is peak season on Norris Lake, with warm, humid days, frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and heavy weekend demand at lakefront sites.
Winter is cool and damp, with occasional freezing nights but daytime highs that usually thaw. Note that both the East and West campgrounds at Norris Dam State Park are currently closed for renovations, with reopening intended for 2026, so state park camping at Norris Dam is not available in the meantime. Confirm status with the park before booking.

How to book a campsite near Andersonville
Norris Dam State Park sites are reserved through the Tennessee State Parks reservation system, either online or by calling the park office. Reservations may be made up to a year ahead, and a non-refundable reservation fee applies per site. Maximum stay is 14 nights in season and 28 nights from December 1 through February. Note that both park campgrounds are currently closed for renovations, with reopening intended for 2026.
Loyston Point Campground is a TVA site managed by Vista Recreation and is booked through the concessionaire's online reservation platform, with a two-night minimum. Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park is a Rainbow Park run by the Escapees RV Club, with discounted rates for members; contact the park directly to check availability.
For summer weekends and holiday periods, book lakefront and pull-through sites as far ahead as possible. Check-in at Norris Dam State Park is 4:00 p.m. and check-out is noon.
What to expect on the ground
Terrain around Andersonville is hilly, with narrow lake-access roads. The road to the Norris Dam West Campground is steep with sharp curves, so drivers of larger rigs and trailers should plan the approach and use low gears. Some lake-access campground roads are similarly winding.
Site mix varies. Loyston Point Campground has 64 sites, 59 with electric hookups, plus heated showers, flush toilets, and a fill-and-dump station, but not full sewer at every site. Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park offers full hookups and pull-throughs suited to big rigs. State park sites typically include water and electric and use a central dump station.
Cell coverage is generally usable near I-75 and thinner in coves along Norris Lake. Firewood policies at state park sites require heat-treated wood or wood gathered on site; do not bring untreated wood into the park.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Andersonville, TN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Andersonville, TN?
RV rental in Andersonville is one of the most affordable lake-country getaways in East Tennessee. On RVezy, travel trailers typically range from $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes run $175 to $295, and Class A motorhomes land between $225 and $375. Because Andersonville sits on Norris Lake, weekday bookings from Sunday through Thursday often shave 15 to 25 percent off weekend rates. For a cheap RV rental Andersonville-bound, filter for travel trailers and target shoulder months like March, April, and October. Many Anderson County hosts also offer multi-night discounts of 10 percent or more for stays of five nights or longer.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Andersonville%2C%20TennesseeDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Andersonville, TN?
Good news: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Andersonville. Tennessee's standard Class D license covers every motorhome and travel trailer available on RVezy, with no Commercial Driver License (CDL) or special RV endorsement required for recreational use. You'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow, so there's no paperwork to mail or office to visit. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP), and you're set to roll out toward Norris Lake the same day you land in Knoxville.
tn.gov/safety/driver-services/classd.htmlIs my Andersonville RV rental covered by insurance and roadside assistance?
Yes, and that is a big part of why first-timers love booking here. Every RV rental in Andersonville booked on RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you pull away from the host's driveway. You choose the coverage level that fits your comfort during checkout (hosts do not set it for you), and the plan helps shield you against most damage to the vehicle during your trip. If a tire blows on Highway 61 or you need help at a lakeside site near Anderson County Park, one phone call gets roadside assistance dispatched, making your Norris Lake RV trip genuinely stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Andersonville trip plans change?
Booking is low-risk because RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. There is a money-back grace period right after you book, and cancellations made well before your trip start date may qualify for refunds depending on timing. You will see your exact terms during checkout before you confirm payment. If something unexpected pops up, reach out to RVezy support and they will walk you through your options, so you can lock in that Norris Lake weekend with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Andersonville?
Absolutely, and Norris Lake country is a dog's dream. Plenty of pet-friendly RV rental Andersonville options are available on RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search. Anderson County Park on Norris Lake welcomes leashed dogs at the campground, and the six-mile hiking and biking trail there is perfect for stretching paws. Norris Dam State Park also allows pets at campsites and on trails (with a small nightly fee at cabins). Pro tip: bring a long lead and a towel because the campers-only swim beach at Anderson County Park is shallow and shaded, ideal for a quick dog dip after a hot hike.
tnstateparks.com/parks/norris-damCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Andersonville?
Yes, RV delivery in Andersonville is a popular option and a game-changer for first-timers. Many RVezy hosts in the Anderson County area will tow the rig directly to your reserved site at Anderson County Park, Loyston Point Campground, or Big Ridge State Park, then level it, hook up water and 30/50-amp power, and walk you through every system before they leave. You just show up with groceries and swimsuits. To find delivery-ready listings, apply the Delivery filter on RVezy and message the host with your campground and site number. It is the easiest way to enjoy RV camping in Andersonville without ever towing a thing.
andersoncountypark.com/How far can I drive on an Andersonville RV trip, and how do mileage policies work?
You've got plenty of road to roam. Most hosts on RVezy include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles available at roughly $0.35 to $0.50 each, and some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer adventures. From Andersonville you're 25 miles north of Knoxville, about 60 miles to Pigeon Forge and the Smokies, 90 miles to Cumberland Gap, and 110 miles to Chattanooga. A typical Norris Lake weekend uses fewer than 80 miles total. Before you book, just check the listing's mileage tab, and if you're planning a longer RV road trip from Andersonville, message the host to negotiate a custom mileage package.
tn.gov/tdot.htmlWhere are the best campgrounds near Andersonville, TN?
You're spoiled for choice in this corner of East Tennessee. The top picks for RV camping Andersonville include: Anderson County Park (2191 Park Lane), 196 acres on Norris Lake with 40 short-term RV sites featuring water and 30/50-amp hookups for $30 to $35 per night, plus two dump stations and a campers-only boat ramp; Loyston Point Campground, a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) park with 64 wooded sites on a Norris Lake peninsula, ideal for boaters and mountain bikers; Norris Dam State Park, with 75 RV sites across East and West Campgrounds (reopening after 2026 renovations); and Big Ridge State Park, a year-round option about 20 minutes east. Book Anderson County Park directly through andersoncountypark.com.
andersoncountypark.com/When is the best time of year for an Andersonville RV trip?
Andersonville rewards you almost any month, but late April through mid-October is the sweet spot for Norris Lake. Spring days warm to the upper 60s and 70s, summer highs sit in the mid-80s (July averages 86°F), and fall delivers crisp 60s with Cumberland Mountain foliage that peaks in mid to late October. Anderson County Park's short-term camping season runs March 1 through December 1, so even shoulder-season trips work great. Pro tip: book Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day weekends at least three months ahead because lakefront sites fill fast. For the quietest, cheapest Norris Lake experience, target weekdays in May or early October.
forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php?inputstring=Andersonville%2CTNI've never rented an RV before. Is Andersonville a good place to start?
Honestly, it's one of the best places in Tennessee for a first time renting an RV. Anderson County is rural, the roads around Norris Lake are wide and well-paved, and your host will give you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, slide-outs, awning, and the dump station before you ever turn a key. If towing or driving a big rig still feels intimidating, just choose a delivered rental and the host handles everything onsite. RVezy support is also available 24/7 by phone or chat during your trip. Pro tip: book two nights at Anderson County Park as your shakedown, you're only a 30-minute drive from Knoxville if you forget anything.
andersoncountypark.com/acpark/What happens if something breaks down during my Norris Lake RV trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 61, a dead battery at Loyston Point, or a propane issue at Anderson County Park is just one phone call away from help. The roadside team can dispatch tire service, jump-starts, fuel delivery, and towing across Anderson, Union, and Campbell counties. Your host is also typically just a text away and knows the rig inside out. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV at pickup and save your host's number and the RVezy support line to your phone before you leave the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip routes from Andersonville, TN?
Andersonville is a launchpad for some of the South's best RV road trips. Popular routes include: the Great Smoky Mountains loop via Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (about 60 miles south, 90 minutes), Cumberland Gap National Historical Park where Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet (90 miles, 1 hour 45 minutes), the Cherohala Skyway via Tellico Plains (130 miles), Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain (110 miles, 2 hours via I-75), and Asheville, NC plus the Blue Ridge Parkway (120 miles east). Cross-state travel within the U.S. is welcome on RVezy, though trips into Mexico are not covered. Pro tip: stick to I-75 and Highway 441 to avoid the low underpass on the New Market route that GPS sometimes recommends.
nps.gov/grsm/index.htmWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and what does gas cost near Andersonville?
Plan your budget with realistic numbers: Class B campervans get around 18 to 22 miles per gallon (mpg), Class C motorhomes average 10 to 14 mpg, Class A rigs run 7 to 10 mpg, and a truck pulling a travel trailer typically lands at 10 to 13 mpg. Gas prices in Anderson County have recently averaged around $2.85 to $3.10 per gallon, usually a few cents below the national average. Fuel up at the Pilot Travel Center at I-75 Exit 122 in Clinton (10 minutes from Andersonville) where pumps fit big rigs easily. Pro tip: top off before you head toward Loyston Point because services thin out fast once you're on the peninsula roads.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Andersonville?
For peak summer weekends on Norris Lake, lock in your campground three to four months ahead, especially for waterfront sites. Anderson County Park accepts reservations through andersoncountypark.com, and Norris Dam State Park and other Tennessee State Parks use the reserve.tnstateparks.com system, which opens bookings up to 12 months in advance with a $5 non-refundable reservation fee per site. Loyston Point (TVA-managed) takes reservations through recreation.gov. Weekdays and shoulder months (March, April, October, November) often have same-week availability. Pro tip: if waterfront sites are sold out, snag a back-row site and walk the 2-minute path to the campers-only swim beach at Anderson County Park, the view's just as good.
tnstateparks.com/parks/campground/norris-damWhat are the driving conditions like around Andersonville and Norris Lake?
Driving here is refreshingly relaxed compared to Knoxville or Nashville. Interstate 75 runs north-south just west of Andersonville with Exit 122 (Norris/Clinton) being your main gateway, and Highway 61 is a wide two-lane that handles RVs comfortably. The peninsula roads down to Loyston Point and Anderson County Park have a few rolling hills and tight curves but are well-marked. Important: do NOT follow GPS routes through New Market, there's a low railroad underpass that has trapped many RVs and trailers. Stick to I-75 to Exit 122, then Highway 61 East. Pro tip: summer afternoon thunderstorms can be intense from June through August, so plan to be parked and hooked up by 4 p.m.
tn.gov/tdot/driver-how-do-i/check-current-road-conditions.htmlWhat hookups and amenities can I expect at Andersonville-area campgrounds?
You'll find solid infrastructure at every major park. Anderson County Park offers 40 short-term sites with water and both 30-amp and 50-amp electric (plus 110V), two ADA-accessible bathhouses, two dump stations, a campers-only boat ramp, and a public swimming area, all for $30 to $35 per night. Loyston Point has 64 sites with water and electric, hot-shower bathhouses, a dump station, and a concrete boat ramp. Norris Dam State Park's reopened campgrounds will have 75 RV sites with water and electric plus dump stations at each loop. Fill your fresh water tank at the campground entrance station, and use the dump station on your way out. Pro tip: lakefront sites can be uneven, so pack leveling blocks (or ask your delivery host to bring them).
andersoncountypark.com/What features and amenities come with an RV rental in Andersonville?
You will be impressed by what comes standard. Most motorhome rental Andersonville and travel trailer listings on RVezy include a queen or king bed, bunk beds for kids, a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an indoor bathroom with shower and toilet, roof AC, propane heat, dinette seating with seatbelts, and often a smart TV. Many rigs also have outdoor speakers, awnings, and generators for off-grid Norris Lake coves. Cellular coverage from Verizon and AT&T is generally reliable around Andersonville. For a campervan rental Andersonville option, Class B vans offer compact comfort perfect for solo travelers or couples. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count to match your group exactly, and check listings for outdoor kitchens, ideal for lakeside cookouts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Andersonville%2C%20TennesseeWhat add-ons and pickup options should I expect when booking?
Hosts make life easy with helpful extras. Popular add-ons for an Andersonville RV trip include camp chairs and tables ($15 to $30 per trip), bedding and linen packages ($25 to $50), generators ($25 to $50/night), bike racks, paddleboards or kayaks for Norris Lake ($30 to $75/day), and pet cleaning fees ($25 to $75). Pickup is usually from the host's home in Anderson, Knox, or Union counties, or you can choose delivery straight to Anderson County Park or Loyston Point for a flat fee based on distance. Mileage policies and pet rules are set per listing, so check the details tab. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a stocked-kitchen add-on for a true turnkey lake trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Andersonville%2C%20TennesseeHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
The process is transparent and built to protect you. When you book an RV rental in Tennessee, you pay the trip cost (nightly rate plus fees) securely through RVezy, never directly to the host, which keeps your payment protected. A refundable security deposit, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the rig, is pre-authorized on your credit card a few days before pickup and released after the trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off, return the rig with the same fuel and propane levels, and stay within your mileage allowance. Pro tip: message your host any questions before you book, clear expectations make for a smooth return.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Andersonville during winter, and what should I know about cold weather?
Yes, winter rentals are absolutely doable and surprisingly magical on Norris Lake. East Tennessee winters are mild compared to the north, January highs average 43°F with lows around 29°F, and serious snow is rare. Anderson County Park's short-term camping runs March through early December, but Big Ridge State Park stays open year-round and many private campgrounds nearby do too. For winter rentals, look for RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and reliable propane furnaces, then ask the host to confirm. Shore power at Big Ridge keeps your electric heat humming all night. Pro tip: book a quiet January weekend, you'll often have lakefront views entirely to yourself, plus rates can be 30 percent lower than summer.
