2022 Forest River Fifth Wheel
Corey was amazing. He delivered and setup everything as promised. Family and friends were impressed with how easy and efficient he was. The trip was the best out of the 20 years we have been going to this race. We had everything we needed right at our fingertips. We may not go back to tent camping. lol.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV in Jonesborough, TN
How much does an RV rental in Jonesborough typically cost?
An RV rental in Jonesborough is one of the most affordable ways to experience Tennessee's oldest town and the surrounding Cherokee National Forest. On RVezy, you'll typically find travel trailers from around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes from $150 to $250 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes from $200 to $375 per night, with prices easing outside the busy National Storytelling Festival weekend in early October. To score a cheap RV rental in Jonesborough, book midweek, travel in March, April, or November, and consider a travel trailer if you already have a tow vehicle. Many hosts also offer weekly discounts of 10 to 20 percent, so check the listing's long-stay pricing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Jonesborough%2C%20TennesseeWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Jonesborough?
Good news for first-timers: a regular Class D driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Tennessee does not require a Commercial Driver License (CDL) to operate a personal recreational vehicle, so even a 30-foot Class C motorhome or fifth wheel can be driven on your standard license. To book on RVezy, the primary driver must generally be at least 25 years old and complete ID verification through the platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set to roll down Main Street.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Jonesborough RV rental?
You can book with confidence: every RV rental in Jonesborough booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. During checkout you choose your protection tier (the guest selects it, not the host), letting you pick the level of coverage that fits your comfort, with options that cover physical damage to the RV during your trip. RVezy support is reachable around the clock if anything comes up on the road. Tip: take photos of the RV at pickup with your host so any pre-existing dings are documented before you drive off.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Jonesborough RV trip?
RVezy makes it low-risk to book your Jonesborough RV trip. RVezy (not the individual host) sets the cancellation policy, which includes a grace-period window after booking where you can cancel for a full refund, plus tiered refunds based on how far out from your trip you cancel. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy will help you rebook or provide a refund or credit. Booking earlier gives you more flexibility, not less, so don't wait to lock in that perfect Class C for the National Storytelling Festival weekend. You can review the current cancellation terms anytime in the RVezy Help Center before confirming your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Jonesborough RV trip?
Absolutely, a pet-friendly RV rental in Jonesborough is easy to find on RVezy. Filter by Pet-Friendly when you search and you'll see plenty of listings whose hosts welcome dogs (some allow cats too). Jonesborough is a dog-loving town: leashed pups are welcome along the brick sidewalks of the historic district, on trails around Wetlands Water Park, and at many outdoor patios on Main Street. For longer hikes, Buffalo Mountain Park in nearby Johnson City and the trails at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area in Elizabethton are leash-friendly. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees (typically $25 to $75) and pack a towel for muddy Nolichucky River paws.
tnstateparks.com/parks/sycamore-shoalsCan the RV be delivered to me in Jonesborough?
Yes, RV delivery in Jonesborough is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who'd rather skip the highway drive. Filter by Delivery on the search page and you'll see hosts who will tow or drive the RV directly to your campground, cabin rental, or private driveway, then set up the awning, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Popular delivery spots include David Crockett Birthplace State Park in Limestone (about 15 minutes away), Riverpark Campground on the Nolichucky, and the Jonesborough/Cherokee NF KOA Journey. Delivery fees typically range from $2 to $5 per mile round-trip. It's the easiest way to enjoy a Jonesborough RV trip without ever touching the steering wheel.
tnstateparks.com/parks/david-crockett-birthplaceHow does mileage work, and how far can I drive from Jonesborough?
You've got plenty of road to roam. Most Jonesborough RV hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles at $0.25 to $0.45 each, and some listings even offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on. From Jonesborough you can reach Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Gatlinburg entrance in about 2 hours (110 miles), Asheville, North Carolina, in 1 hour 15 minutes (65 miles), Pisgah National Forest in about 1.5 hours, and Bristol Motor Speedway in just 35 minutes. For a classic RV road trip from Jonesborough, the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance near Asheville is an easy day's drive. If you're planning big miles, ask your host about an unlimited package upfront.
nps.gov/grsm/index.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Jonesborough for my RV?
You're spoiled for choice on RV camping in Jonesborough. Top picks include David Crockett Birthplace State Park in nearby Limestone, with campsites along the Nolichucky River and many full-hookup pads, Riverpark Campground on Hwy 81 South with big-rig-friendly full-hookup riverside sites, the Jonesborough/Cherokee NF KOA Journey for a polished family experience, and Riverview Campground on Hwy 107. For a quieter feel, Rocky Top Campground & RV Park is a local favorite. Reserve Tennessee State Parks sites up to a year in advance at reserve.tnstateparks.com, and book any campground at least 4 to 6 months ahead for the October Storytelling Festival weekend.
tnstateparks.com/parks/david-crockett-birthplaceWhen is the best time of year for an RV rental in Jonesborough?
Jonesborough is a true four-season destination, but the sweet spot is April through early November. Spring (April-May) brings 60-75°F days and dogwoods in bloom across the historic district. Summer (June-August) hits 80-88°F with warm evenings perfect for outdoor concerts on Main Street, though Cherokee National Forest sites run 10-15°F cooler thanks to elevation. Fall (September-October) is magic: crisp 55-75°F days, blazing leaf color in the Blue Ridge, and the legendary National Storytelling Festival on the first weekend of October. Winters dip to 25-45°F with occasional snow, so look for hosts offering cold-weather-ready RVs if you visit December through February. Pro tip: late September delivers peak weather with smaller crowds than festival weekend.
weather.gov/mrx/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Jonesborough?
You'll do great, and you're in one of the easiest regions to learn. First time renting an RV? Every RVezy host provides a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, showing you how to operate the generator, slide-outs, water systems, propane, and dump valves before you ever drive off. Jonesborough itself sits just off Interstate 26 with wide rural highways like US-11E and TN-81 that are far less stressful than big-city driving. If you're still nervous, choose a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental in Jonesborough (22-25 feet), or pick a host offering delivery so you skip driving entirely. Bonus: your host's phone number is in the RVezy app the whole trip, and 24/7 roadside assistance has your back.
tn.gov/tdot.htmlWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RV rental in Jonesborough booked through RVezy comes with 24/7 roadside assistance included with the renter protection plan, covering tire changes, jump-starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing if needed. Your first call is usually to the roadside hotline, then a quick message to your host through the RVezy app to keep them in the loop. The closest major RV service shops are in Johnson City (about 10 minutes east) and Kingsport, so help is never far if you're exploring the Tri-Cities region. RVezy customer support is also available before, during, and after your trip through the Help Center if anything else comes up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take the RV across state lines from Jonesborough?
Yes, and you'll want to. Jonesborough sits in a sweet spot just a few miles from the North Carolina line and about 25 miles from Virginia, making it ideal for a multi-state RV road trip from Jonesborough. Most hosts allow travel throughout the continental United States, with popular routes including the Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the south. Cross-border travel into Canada or Mexico is generally not permitted under RVezy's insurance coverage, so confirm any international plans with your host and RVezy before booking. Share your rough itinerary with your host so they can flag any mileage or destination questions early.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Jonesborough RV trip?
Fuel is one of the easier expenses to estimate. Class B campervans get 18-22 MPG, Class C motorhomes 8-12 MPG, and Class A motorhomes 6-9 MPG, while a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer typically sees 10-14 MPG. Gas prices in Tennessee tend to run 20-30 cents below the national average, with Pilot, Love's, and TA travel centers along I-26 and I-81 near Jonesborough offering the easiest RV-friendly fueling. For a 4-night, 400-mile loop through East Tennessee and the Smokies, plan on $120 to $250 in fuel depending on your rig. Pro tip: use the GasBuddy or Pilot Flying J apps to scout diesel and high-clearance pumps before you pull off the exit.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Jonesborough?
Sooner is always better, especially for fall. Tennessee State Parks like David Crockett Birthplace open campsite reservations up to 12 months in advance at reserve.tnstateparks.com, and weekend sites for September and October tend to fill quickly. For Riverpark, Riverview, and the KOA Journey, aim for 3 to 6 months out for summer weekends, and 6+ months ahead for the first weekend of October during the National Storytelling Festival, when sites within 30 miles get snapped up fast. Midweek stays in spring and late fall are often bookable just a week or two ahead. Pro tip: lock in your campground first, then book your motorhome rental in Jonesborough to match those dates.
tnstateparks.com/parks/david-crockett-birthplaceWhat are local driving conditions like around Jonesborough?
Driving around Jonesborough is refreshingly mellow compared to big-city RV trips. Interstate 26 runs just south of town with wide lanes and gentle grades, and US-11E connects you to Johnson City, Greeneville, and Kingsport on easy four-lane highways. The historic downtown does have narrow brick streets and a few low-hanging tree branches, so park larger RVs at the public lot on Boone Street and walk in (it's only a 5-minute stroll). Mountain backroads toward Erwin, Roan Mountain, and the Cherokee National Forest are scenic but winding, so take them slow in anything over 25 feet. Winter occasionally brings ice on shaded curves, so check the TDOT SmartWay map before heading into the mountains.
smartway.tn.gov/trafficWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Jonesborough?
You'll find solid infrastructure for RV camping in Jonesborough. Most area campgrounds offer 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer hookups at full-hookup sites, with clean bathhouses, hot showers, and laundry on-site. David Crockett Birthplace State Park has full-hookup sites plus a seasonal pool, Riverpark Campground typically includes WiFi and an on-site grill, and the Jonesborough KOA Journey offers a pet area and well-kept restrooms. Dump stations are standard at the major parks and potable water fills are easy to find. For groceries and propane top-offs, Food City and Tractor Supply in Jonesborough are both RV-accessible. Tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 50-to-30-amp adapter to handle any site setup.
tnstateparks.com/parks/david-crockett-birthplaceWhat's typically included inside an RVezy rental in Jonesborough?
Expect a fully equipped home on wheels. Most Jonesborough RV rentals come with comfortable sleeping for 2-8 people, a kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave, sink, pots, pans, and dishes, a bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning and furnace, and seatbelted seats for travel. Many include a TV, awning, outdoor camp chairs, and a generator for boondocking near the Nolichucky. WiFi varies by listing (cell signal can be spotty deep in Cherokee National Forest, so download maps before you go), and many hosts include linens, towels, and a starter kitchen pack. When you message a host before booking, ask specifically about bedding, the freshwater tank size, and whether the generator runs the AC, three details that make East Tennessee summer camping noticeably better.
fs.usda.gov/cherokeeWhat add-ons can I get with my Jonesborough RV rental?
Hosts offer some genuinely useful extras to upgrade your RV trip from Jonesborough. Common add-ons include linen and towel packages ($25-$60), kitchen kits ($20-$40), camp chairs and outdoor rugs ($15-$30), generators ($25-$50/day), bike racks, propane fire pits, and even pre-stocked pantries. Many hosts offer delivery and setup for $2-$5 per mile, and some bundle a 'first-timer package' that includes orientation extras. Pickup and dropoff are typically scheduled in 1-hour windows at the host's location in or near Jonesborough, and instant-book listings let you confirm without waiting. Pro tip: ask about a Storytelling Festival shuttle drop in October if your host offers delivery, it saves you the parking hassle on Main Street.
jonesboroughtn.org/How do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book your RV rental in Jonesborough, you'll pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card, with a portion typically charged at booking and the balance due before pickup. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment (the amount varies by RV) and released back to your card after the trip, assuming no damage or excess mileage. To avoid issues: do the walkthrough with your host, take photos of the exterior and interior at pickup and drop-off, refill fuel and propane to the same level, and stay within your mileage allowance. Keep all communication and payments inside RVezy so the protection plan and support apply.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat's a local insider tip for visiting Jonesborough by RV?
Here's the move locals love: time your Jonesborough RV trip around a Saturday so you hit the Jonesborough Farmers Market on the town square in the morning, then catch a matinee at the International Storytelling Center on Main Street, fitting for the Storytelling Capital of the World. Park your rig at David Crockett Birthplace State Park or Riverpark Campground, then drive the toad or tow vehicle into town since downtown's brick streets aren't built for big rigs. Finish at Tennessee Hills Distillery in the historic Salt House for a tasting. It's the kind of relaxed day that turns first-time RVers into lifelong fans of East Tennessee.
