Recent Harriman RV rental reviews
Very responsive to request to book. Accommodated our timing for delivery and pickup. Handled all the set up and take down. It's a small camper but is perfect if you just need a spot to sleep, shower and have a small meal. Just bring your extras to set up and enjoy the outdoors. (It does have 2 chairs and an outdoor rug as well).

Rayn was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was my 1st ever experience using any type of service like this for an RV, and I will definitely do it again. She was extremely responsive, accommodating, and super friendly and nice. Many, many thanks to Rayn and her husband for making this an exceptional experience.

So happy to have rented our first time with Samantha. The camper is fairly new so it was super clean and all systems worked as expected. Any glitches in operation were resolved with the owners manual (on board) or with communication with Samantha. I towed to our camp site with a GMC Canyon (7K towing capacity & electronic brake control)) and it followed like a dream. No need for anti sway gear. Our property has no hookups so we basically boondocked for the weekend. Take advantage of the generators the host is offering if boondocking is your plan. They worked great. There is also a solar panel system that is providing power for minor items when you are off generator. Overall we had an awesome weekend and Samantha was a great host. I would rent from her again.

Experience was incredible. I highly recommend renting Haleem’s RV. It was perfect for my family of 6 and our dogs. RV came equipped with lots of thing we needed such as utensils , blankets and towels. Haleem really went above and beyond to ensure we had a seem less and enjoyable trip. I would love to rent this RV again.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV in Harriman, TN
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Harriman, TN?
RV rental in Harriman is one of the most affordable ways to explore East Tennessee's lake country. Travel trailers average around $125 per night, while motorhomes typically run $200 to $275 per night, and many hosts offer 10 to 20% discounts on weekly or monthly bookings. For a cheap RV rental in Harriman, consider visiting in the shoulder months of March, April, or October when both rental rates and Watts Bar Lake campground fees dip. Pro tip: use the price filter on RVezy and message hosts directly about multi-night discounts. Booking midweek instead of Friday to Sunday can shave another 15 to 20% off your total, leaving more room in the budget for kayak rentals at Caney Creek.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Harriman,TennesseeWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Harriman, TN?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Harriman. Tennessee does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal RVs, even larger Class A motorhomes. On RVezy, approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified through the platform during booking so there is no extra paperwork on pickup day. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association along with your home license. Most first time renters are surprised how straightforward the process is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Harriman, TN protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Harriman booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you pull out of the driveway. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV, giving you peace of mind whether you are winding along US-27 or parked lakeside at Watts Bar. During checkout you choose the level of coverage that fits your trip, since guests, not hosts, pick the protection tier. Coverage details and limits are clearly listed before you confirm your booking.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Harriman RV rental?
Booking is genuinely low risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every reservation, not individual hosts, so you get consistent treatment whether you are renting a campervan or a 35-foot Class A. There is a money back grace period after booking, and if a host ever cancels on you, RVezy issues a refund or travel credit. Severe weather and other major disruptions are handled through RVezy support, which matters in East Tennessee where spring thunderstorms can roll across the Cumberland Plateau. Pro tip: book earlier rather than later, especially for fall foliage weekends in October, you will lock in better rates and still have flexibility built in.
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 Harriman, TN?
Absolutely, pet friendly RV rental options in Harriman are easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet Friendly filter and you will see hosts who happily welcome dogs, with some accepting cats and other pets too. Roane County is a dog lover's dream: many TVA and state park campgrounds on Watts Bar Lake allow leashed pets, and Frozen Head State Park has miles of shaded trails perfect for cooler weather hikes. Bring a tie out, plenty of water, and proof of vaccinations in case a campground asks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees and to mention your dog's size, it sets expectations and usually leads to a warmer welcome at pickup.
tnstateparks.com/parks/frozen-headCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Harriman?
Yes, RV delivery in Harriman is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game changer if you are new to RVing or just do not want to drive a big rig down I-40. Many local hosts will deliver to nearby campgrounds on Watts Bar Lake and Melton Hill Lake, then level, hook up, and walk you through every system before they leave. Filter listings by Delivery on RVezy to see who offers it and what their radius covers. Delivery fees typically scale with distance, so booking a host based in Harriman, Rockwood, or Kingston usually keeps costs lowest.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Harriman,TennesseeHow does mileage work and how far can I drive from Harriman?
Mileage policies are set by each host, and you will see the daily mileage allowance (plus any per mile overage rate) clearly listed on every Harriman listing before you book. Some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal if you are planning a longer Tennessee loop. From Harriman you are perfectly positioned: Great Smoky Mountains National Park is about 75 miles east, Nashville is around 160 miles west on I-40, Chattanooga is about 75 miles south, and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area sits roughly 70 miles north. Pro tip: estimate your route in advance, then filter listings by mileage allowance to match your plan.
nps.gov/grsm/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Harriman, TN?
You have fantastic choices for RV camping near Harriman, most of them right on the water. Caney Creek RV Resort and Marina on Watts Bar Lake offers full hookups, a pool, and a marina. TVA's Melton Hill Dam Campground sits about 25 miles east toward Lenoir City with quiet, well spaced waterfront sites and is a local favorite from spring through fall. For a more rugged feel, Frozen Head State Park near Wartburg offers electric hookups and incredible hiking trails. Pro tip: reserve TVA and state park sites on Recreation.gov or the Tennessee State Parks site as soon as your dates are firm, prime summer weekends and October Saturdays book out quickly.
recreation.gov/When is the best time to take a Harriman RV trip?
Harriman is a near year round RV destination thanks to East Tennessee's mild climate, but the sweet spots are April through early June and September through early November. Spring brings dogwood blooms and daytime highs in the 60s and 70s°F, while fall delivers spectacular color across the Cumberland Plateau with crisp 50 to 70°F days. Summer (June to August) is warm and humid with highs in the upper 80s°F and is peak lake season, perfect if swimming and boating are on the agenda. Winters are mild (40s to low 50s°F by day) and many private parks stay open year round. Pro tip: mid October weekends book out fast for leaf peeping, so reserve early.
weather.gov/mrx/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You will be in great hands. First time renting an RV in Harriman is genuinely easier than most people expect because every RVezy host gives you a hands on walkthrough at pickup, covering water, propane, slide outs, generator, and waste tanks. You can also message your host with questions before booking, and many will respond with photos or even short video tours. If driving a large rig makes you nervous, choose a host who offers delivery so the RV is already parked, leveled, and ready when you arrive. Pro tip: start with a smaller Class C motorhome or a campervan rental in Harriman, they drive much like a large truck, and pick a campground within an hour of pickup for your first night.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I break down during my trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on I-40, a dead battery at Frozen Head State Park, or a tow situation along US-27 is just a phone call away. Your host is also a great first contact since they know their RV best, and many will troubleshoot small issues by phone. Save the RVezy support number and your host's number in your phone before you leave. Pro tip: a quick walk around every morning, checking tires, lights, and hitch, prevents most of the roadside calls people end up making.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Harriman RV rental across state lines or into Canada or Mexico?
Yes, an RV road trip from Harriman across state lines is absolutely allowed and very popular, think Kentucky's Mammoth Cave (about 200 miles northwest), the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, or Asheville (about 130 miles east). Travel into Canada may be permitted depending on the host and the specific RV's insurance, so message the host directly from the listing before you book to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not allowed on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: if you are plotting a multi state loop, mention the route in your booking message, hosts often share favorite stops and shortcuts from their own travels.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and what does gas cost around Harriman?
Budgeting for fuel on your Harriman RV trip is pretty straightforward. Class A motorhomes typically get 7 to 10 MPG, Class C motorhomes 10 to 14 MPG, and campervans or smaller travel trailers towed by a pickup can hit 12 to 18 MPG. Tennessee gas prices are consistently among the lowest in the country, often well below the national average, and you will find big rig friendly stations right off I-40 at the Harriman and Midtown exits and in nearby Kingston. Pro tip: use a fuel price app and fill up before you head into the Smokies, where prices climb noticeably as you get closer to Gatlinburg.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Harriman?
For the best sites, book your campground as soon as your RV is reserved. TVA campgrounds like Melton Hill Dam and Tennessee State Parks like Frozen Head open reservations several months in advance through Recreation.gov and the Tennessee State Parks reservation system, and prime summer weekends and October leaf season Saturdays can fill within hours of opening. Private parks like Caney Creek RV Resort and Marina typically take direct bookings on their own websites. Pro tip: have two or three campgrounds in mind before you start clicking, and look for weeknight arrivals (Sunday to Wednesday) which are often wide open even in peak season and frequently cheaper.
recreation.gov/What are the driving conditions like around Harriman?
Driving an RV around Harriman is refreshingly manageable. I-40 runs right through town with wide lanes and gentle grades compared to the steeper climbs you will find further east toward the Smokies. US-27 and US-70 are the main local routes, both well paved and RV friendly. Watch for two things: occasional fog in the river valleys on cool fall mornings, and the long climb up Crab Orchard Mountain on I-40 west of town, where you will want to drop into a lower gear. Avoid narrow downtown side streets in Kingston and Rockwood with anything longer than 30 feet. Pro tip: cross the Cumberland Plateau in daylight your first time, the views are worth it.
smartway.tn.gov/trafficWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Harriman?
Most campgrounds near Harriman are well equipped for a comfortable stay. Caney Creek RV Resort and Marina offers full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, sewer), a swimming pool, laundry, and a dump station. TVA's Melton Hill Dam Campground has electric and water at sites plus a centralized dump station and potable water fill. Frozen Head State Park provides electric hookups, hot showers, and a dump station near the entrance. Truck stops along I-40 near Harriman are reliable spots for fuel and propane along your route. Pro tip: snap a photo of your campground's site map at check in so you can find the bathhouse and dump station after dark.
tva.com/environment/recreation/campgroundsWhat's included inside the RVs available in Harriman?
Local listings in Harriman span from cozy campervans to family sized Class C motorhomes and spacious travel trailers, and most come fully outfitted for a turnkey trip. Expect real beds (often sleeping 4 to 8), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and cookware, a bathroom with shower and toilet, climate control via roof AC and furnace, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many motorhome rental listings in Harriman include a TV, and some hosts add WiFi hotspots, outdoor speakers, or onboard generators for boondocking. Each listing details exactly what is included with photos. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count to match your group, then check the host's add ons list for kayaks, bikes, or grills, popular extras for a Watts Bar Lake stay.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Harriman,TennesseeWhat add-ons and extras can I get with my Harriman RV rental?
Hosts in the Harriman area offer some genuinely fun add ons that turn a good trip into a great one. Common extras include kayaks and paddleboards (ideal for Watts Bar and Melton Hill Lakes), bike racks, outdoor camp chairs, propane fire pits, generators, linen and kitchen packages, and pet kits. Pricing for these is set per listing and shown before you book. Pickup is usually at the host's home base in Harriman, Rockwood, or Kingston, and many offer delivery for a flat fee. Mileage allowances vary by listing, with some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage. Pro tip: ask about a lake setup bundle, several local hosts package chairs, a cooler, and kayaks at a discount.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Harriman,TennesseeHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is handled securely through RVezy, so you never pay your host in cash or by transfer. When you book, you pay the rental total plus your chosen protection plan using a credit or debit card directly on the platform. A refundable security deposit is held (not charged) on your card before pickup, and it is released after the trip assuming no damage or policy violations. The deposit is separate from the booking payment and the exact amount is shown on the listing before you confirm. Pro tip: take dated photos and a quick video of the RV inside and out at both pickup and drop off, it is the easiest way to keep your deposit return smooth and fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat's a great family RV trip from Harriman, TN?
You are in one of Tennessee's best launch pads for a family RV trip from Harriman. A popular 4 to 7 day loop: spend two nights at Caney Creek RV Resort and Marina on Watts Bar Lake for swimming and fishing, then head about 75 miles east to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for Cades Cove wildlife drives and easy hikes, before looping back through Pigeon Forge for Dollywood. Add a day at Frozen Head State Park for waterfall hikes, or drive north to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area for horseback riding. Pro tip: book Smokies campgrounds like Elkmont or Cades Cove six months out on Recreation.gov, they are among the most requested in the entire national park system.
