Campgrounds near New Union
New Union is an unincorporated community in Coffee County, Tennessee, sitting in the rolling countryside of Middle Tennessee between Manchester and Tullahoma. RV travelers based here have quick access to state park camping, TVA lakefront campgrounds on Normandy Reservoir, and independent RV parks aimed at travelers using Interstate 24.
The closest full-service state park option is Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park in Manchester, which has 50 campsites with water and electric hookups, grills, and picnic tables, with wooded sites and separation between them. Private options include The Broken Banjo RV Park just off I-24, and Big Mouth Cave Retreat in Pelham, near The Caverns music venue.
For lake camping, Barton Springs Campground and Cedar Point Campground both sit on Normandy Reservoir, a Tennessee Valley Authority impoundment in south-central Tennessee. The area works as a practical base for a family RV trip focused on water and hiking.
Things to do near New Union
Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park anchors most itineraries. Campers can explore several miles of hiking trails, including the main interpretive trail that follows the ancient ceremonial walls and passes multiple waterfalls along the Duck River, and the on-site museum covers the site's Native American history.
On the water, Normandy Reservoir supports boating, swimming, and fishing, with largemouth bass, walleye, and other species drawing anglers through the warm months. Barton Springs Campground has a sandy swim beach and day-use area, and Cedar Point Campground has a boat launch and small general store.
About half an hour southeast, The Caverns in Pelham hosts underground concerts, with Big Mouth Cave Retreat nearby. Short Springs State Natural Area in Tullahoma offers additional waterfall hikes.

The area follows a standard Middle Tennessee pattern: warm humid summers, mild springs and falls, and cool wet winters. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable temperatures for RV camping, along with better shoulder-season availability at most parks.
Seasonality varies sharply by campground. Old Stone Fort is open year-round with reservations available, though showers are not available in December, January, and February, while the dump station stays open all year. The TVA-partner lake campgrounds run a shorter window: Cedar Point and Barton Springs both operate from mid-March through mid-November. The Broken Banjo RV Park and Big Mouth Cave Retreat operate year-round.
Summer books quickly because of Normandy Lake demand and the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, which drives major congestion in June. Fall foliage on the Cumberland Plateau pulls extra weekend traffic through October. Winter is quiet, but expect closed bathhouses and reduced services at state and TVA campgrounds.

How to book
Old Stone Fort uses the Tennessee State Parks reservation system. Advance reservations are available up to one year ahead, with a non-refundable five-dollar advance reservation fee per campsite. Reservations can also be made by phone with the park office.
Cedar Point Campground and Barton Springs Campground are TVA-partner campgrounds managed by Go Camp Tennessee, and they book through the operator, with Campspot also listing availability. A two-night minimum stay applies at Barton Springs, and both parks open reservations for their mid-March through mid-November season.
The Broken Banjo RV Park and Big Mouth Cave Retreat accept direct bookings through the operators and through third-party platforms. For Caverns concert weekends, Big Mouth Cave Retreat fills first because of its proximity to the venue, so book those dates as soon as show announcements post.
What to expect
Site types vary widely. At Old Stone Fort, campsites have water and electrical hookups, grills, picnic tables, and hard-surface pads that can accommodate a unit up to 50 feet in length, with a dump station open year-round and one of the two restroom facilities including showers. The lake campgrounds offer water and 30/50-amp electric but generally no sewer at the site.
Broken Banjo is an amenity-heavy family park close to I-24, so expect some highway noise. Big Mouth Cave Retreat is smaller and simpler, with RV sites offering 30 and 50 amp service and a shower house with restrooms.
Plan for firewood rules: Tennessee State Parks ask that campfires use heat-treated or locally sourced wood to limit invasive pests. Cell coverage is generally reliable near I-24 and Manchester, but thinner in the hollows around Normandy Lake.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near New Union, TN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in New Union, TN?
RV rental in New Union, TN is one of the more affordable ways to explore Middle Tennessee, with most travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes ranging from $175 to $275 per night. Because New Union sits in rural Coffee County just minutes from Manchester and Tullahoma, hosts here often price below the Nashville metro average. To find a cheap RV rental in New Union, book midweek, travel in the March or November shoulder season, and use the price filter to sort by budget. Pro tip: avoid the second weekend of June, when Bonnaroo demand pushes prices and availability across the region.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=New%20Union%2C%20TennesseeWhat license do I need to rent an RV in New Union, Tennessee?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Tennessee, with no special endorsement or commercial license required for RVs under 26,000 pounds, which covers nearly every rental on RVezy. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right in the platform during checkout, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from overseas? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit and you're set. Most first-time renters in New Union are surprised how quickly the licensing piece is handled, leaving you free to plan the fun parts of your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental in New Union, TN protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in New Union, TN booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built into your reservation. The protection plan covers most damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose your preferred coverage level during checkout so you can match it to your comfort and budget. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it provides real financial peace of mind on the road. Pro tip: review the coverage tiers before you check out so you know exactly what's included for your Tennessee RV trip, especially if you're planning longer drives into the Cumberland Plateau.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my New Union RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy applies a clear cancellation policy to every reservation, including a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Refund outcomes depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. The policy is managed by RVezy directly, not by individual hosts, so the process is consistent no matter which RV you choose. Pro tip: book early to secure the best rigs for popular New Union travel windows like Bonnaroo week, and reach out to our support team if your plans shift.
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 New Union?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in New Union is easy to find. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) in their rigs. Coffee County is a great place to travel with pets: Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park in Manchester allows leashed dogs on its 5+ miles of hiking trails along the Duck River forks, and Tims Ford State Park has dog-friendly campsites and a swim area nearby. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any size limits, and pack a tie-out stake since most campgrounds in the area require pets to be leashed at the campsite.
tnstateparks.com/parks/old-stone-fortCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near New Union?
Yes, RV delivery in New Union is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will drive the RV directly to your campground, family farm, or even your driveway, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before you start your trip. Popular delivery destinations include Old Stone Fort State Park (10 minutes away), Tims Ford State Park (about 30 minutes), and Normandy Lake campgrounds. Just use the Delivery filter when searching, and check each listing for the host's delivery radius and per-mile fee. It's the easiest way to enjoy RV camping in New Union without ever towing a thing.
tnstateparks.com/parks/tims-fordHow far can I drive on my New Union RV trip?
You've got tons of range from New Union, and mileage policies are set by each host so you'll see the daily allowance and any per-mile overage fee right on the listing. Many hosts offer generous mileage packages, and some even advertise RV rental with unlimited mileage. Realistic distances from New Union: Nashville is about 70 miles northwest (90 minutes), Chattanooga is 90 miles southeast (under 2 hours), Great Smoky Mountains National Park is 200 miles east (about 3.5 hours), and Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky is 130 miles. Pro tip: estimate your route mileage before booking and add a buffer for side trips to Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, just 25 miles south.
nps.gov/grsm/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near New Union, TN?
You're spoiled for choice. Top picks for RV camping in New Union include: Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park in Manchester (51 sites with water and electric, set among ancient earthen walls), Tims Ford State Park near Winchester (full-hookup sites on a 10,700-acre lake), Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill (about 45 minutes northwest, full hookups and a golf course), The Broken Banjo RV Park in Manchester (full hookups, pool, dog park), and Whispering Oaks Campground just outside Manchester.

tnstateparks.com/parks/old-stone-fortWhen is the best time to visit New Union, TN in an RV?
Honestly, you can RV here nearly year-round, but the sweet spot is April through early June and September through October, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70s to low 80s°F and humidity backs off. Summer (June to August) is warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s°F, perfect for lake days at Tims Ford and Normandy. Fall brings spectacular foliage across the Cumberland Plateau in mid to late October. Winters are mild, with highs in the 40s to low 50s°F and only occasional snow. Pro tip: if you can swing late September, you'll get warm lakes, fewer crowds, and the best campground availability of the year.
weather.gov/ohx/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around New Union?
You'll do great, and New Union is actually one of the friendliest places in Tennessee to learn. The roads around Coffee County are mostly flat to gently rolling, with wide rural highways like US-41 and easy access to I-24. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, covering driving tips, hookups, the awning, and the bathroom, so you're never left guessing. If you're nervous about towing, choose a Class C motorhome or campervan, or use the Delivery filter and skip driving the rig entirely. Pro tip: do a short practice loop on the back roads near Hillsboro before heading to your campground, and you'll feel confident in 20 minutes.
tn.gov/tdot.htmlWhat if something breaks down during my New Union RV trip?
You're covered: every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you're on I-24 near Manchester or down a back road near Normandy Lake. Common calls like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing are all handled. Your host is also a direct resource and can usually walk you through quick fixes like resetting the GFCI or relighting the water heater pilot. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's number in your phone before pickup, and snap a photo of your RV's VIN and tag number so any service call goes faster.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat are popular road trips from New Union, TN?
An RV road trip from New Union opens up some of the South's best routes. Head 70 miles northwest to Nashville for honky-tonks and the Grand Ole Opry, drive 90 miles southeast to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain, take a 25-mile jaunt south to Lynchburg for the Jack Daniel's Distillery tour, or point east 200 miles to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a long weekend. The Natchez Trace Parkway is also within easy reach for a scenic multi-day loop. Travel into Mexico isn't permitted on RVezy rentals, but cross-state trips throughout the Southeast are welcome. Pro tip: message your host before booking if you're planning to leave Tennessee, just so the trip details are confirmed in advance.
nps.gov/natr/index.htmWhat about fuel costs and MPG for my New Union RV rental?
Tennessee has some of the lowest fuel prices in the country, which makes RV rental in Tennessee very budget-friendly. Expect roughly 8 to 10 MPG for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, 14 to 18 MPG for a campervan, and 12 to 18 MPG for a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer. Diesel and regular gas are widely available along I-24 at exits 105 (Manchester) and 111 (Hillsboro), with truck-friendly Pilot and Love's stations that fit big rigs. Pro tip: use the GasBuddy app to find the cheapest fuel along your route, and fuel up before leaving the interstate corridor since rural Tennessee pumps can be a few cents higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near New Union?
Book early and you'll have your pick of the best sites. Tennessee State Parks like Old Stone Fort, Tims Ford, and Henry Horton open reservations up to 11 months in advance through tnstateparks.com, and weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day routinely sell out 60 to 90 days ahead. Private parks in the Manchester area fill earliest around Bonnaroo (mid-June) and fall foliage weekends in October. Pro tip: for a spontaneous New Union RV trip, aim for a Sunday-through-Thursday window or check tnstateparks.com on Monday mornings, when many weekend cancellations get released back into the system.
tnstateparks.com/What are driving conditions like around New Union, Tennessee?
Driving around New Union is refreshingly easy: rural two-lane highways, light traffic, and gentle terrain dominate Coffee County. I-24 is the main artery and handles RVs of every size comfortably between Nashville and Chattanooga. Watch for occasional fog in the low areas along the Duck River on spring mornings, and expect afternoon thunderstorms in July and August that pass quickly. Winter ice is rare but possible in January, so check the forecast before heading up onto the Cumberland Plateau. Pro tip: avoid driving through downtown Manchester on the Friday and Sunday of Bonnaroo weekend (second weekend of June), when traffic on TN-55 backs up for miles. Take TN-279 as a local shortcut.
smartway.tn.gov/trafficWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near New Union?
Campgrounds around New Union are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Most state park campgrounds, including Old Stone Fort and Tims Ford, offer 30/50-amp electric, water hookups, bathhouses with hot showers, and on-site dump stations. Private parks like The Broken Banjo and Clearwater Cove RV Resort add full sewer hookups, Wi-Fi, swimming pools, laundry, and camp stores. Potable water fill stations are available at every state park entrance, and there's a public dump station at the Manchester KOA/Broken Banjo for a small fee if you're not staying overnight. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a pressure regulator; older rural water lines around Coffee County sometimes run high, and a $10 regulator protects your plumbing.
tnstateparks.com/parks/campingWhat's included inside RVs available in New Union?
You'll find fully-equipped rigs ready to roll. A typical motorhome rental in New Union comes with a queen or king bed, fully stocked kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), bathroom with shower and toilet, dinette that converts to a bed, roof-mounted air conditioning, furnace, and seatbelts for every passenger. Most rigs include a TV, and many have onboard generators for boondocking, plus solar on newer units. Wi-Fi is hit-or-miss in rural areas, so plan to use your phone hotspot when off the I-24 corridor. Pro tip: check each listing's amenity list carefully. Many New Union hosts include kitchen kits, linens, and outdoor chairs free of charge, which can save you $50 to $100 versus packing your own.
fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/rv-safetyWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect when I rent an RV in New Union, TN?
Hosts in New Union offer flexible add-ons that make your trip easier. Common options include delivery and setup (often $2 to $4 per mile from the host's location), generator use, bike racks, outdoor grills, camp chairs, bedding packages, kitchen kits, and even pre-stocked firewood. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near New Union, Manchester, or Tullahoma, and many hosts offer flexible pickup windows. Mileage allowances typically range from 100 to 200 free miles per day, with additional miles at $0.30 to $0.50 each. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus a generator if you're heading to a primitive site like Foster Falls (about an hour east), and you'll have a turn-key experience without lifting a finger.
tn.gov/revenue/title-and-registration.htmlHow do payments and the security deposit work for my New Union RV rental?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy with a credit or debit card at the time of booking, and your funds are held safely until your trip is confirmed. A refundable security deposit is held separately on your card before pickup, typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the rig, and it's released back to you after the trip if there's no damage and the RV is returned clean with the agreed fuel and tank levels. Pro tip: take time-stamped photos and a short video of the RV inside and out at both pickup and drop-off. It's the single best way to ensure a smooth deposit return on your New Union RV rental.
