Campgrounds near Olivet
Olivet is an unincorporated community in Hardin County, Tennessee, sitting immediately east of Savannah along State Routes 203 and 226. The area's camping revolves around Pickwick Lake and the Tennessee River just south of town, where the Tennessee Valley Authority's Pickwick Dam forms a large reservoir shared by Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama.
RV renters have a mix of state, federal, and private options within a short drive. Pickwick Landing State Park anchors the region with a lakefront setting, cabins, a lodge, and an 18-hole golf course. Bruton Branch Recreation Area, operated as part of the state park, offers primitive lakeside sites across the reservoir. Pickwick Dam Campground, a TVA facility on the Tennessee River just below the dam, provides RV sites with electric and water hookups.
For travelers who want full hookups and resort-style amenities, Green Acres RV Resort is the closest private park. Botel Campground rounds out the local options for RV trips based out of the Savannah and Olivet area.
Things to do near Olivet
Pickwick Lake is the main draw. Boating, water skiing, kayaking, swimming, and sport fishing dominate the itinerary, and the reservoir is known for record-size smallmouth bass and catfish. Public boat ramps sit at Pickwick Landing State Park and directly across from Pickwick Dam Campground.
On land, Pickwick Landing State Park adds an 18-hole golf course, disc golf, hiking trails, and an aviary with weekly raptor feedings. Shiloh National Military Park is a short drive from most area campgrounds and is a common half-day stop for families. Downtown Savannah, minutes from Olivet, offers grocery runs, restaurants, and river access along the Tennessee River waterfront.
