Instant BookBest time to visit Red Clay State Historic Park
Spring and fall, roughly March through May and September through November, offer the most comfortable weather for walking the grounds and touring the outdoor Cherokee village replicas. Summer brings hot, humid conditions typical of southeast Tennessee, though shaded trails and the Blue Hole Spring area provide relief. Winter visits are quieter and mild by regional standards, making midweek stops a good shoulder-season choice for RV travelers avoiding Chattanooga-area crowds.

We opted for delivery and setup to the campsite which was great! When we arrived everything was set up and ready for us to move in. It was great to escape the heat at the event and have lunch and dinner at the camper. They were awesome to work with! We highly recommend them for a rental option!! We would definitely choose them again!!

So glad I chose to rent an rv for the first time this weekend, as it rained 2 of 3 days and nights. Communication was smooth, even when a strange fluke occurred and I accidently got locked out. Matt immediately drove out to the site with a spare. It seemed to be a malfunction in the mechanism which I'm sure they will be addressing soon.The camper was clean, well equipped and simple to operate. The bed was comfy and I am particular. So , I was , a happy camper.

We enjoyed Drew’s camper very much for our Labor Day weekend trip to Chattanooga! Despite high temps in the 90’s and hitting 100 during the weekend, we even got cold at night from the air conditioning working so well. The camper was clean and looked bigger in person than the pictures. Lastly, even though we never actually got to meet Drew, he was attentive and responsive over messages when we had questions. We would absolutely stay in Drew’s camper again!

We rented this camper and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The camper itself was clean, comfortable, and clearly well maintained. Everything was in great working order, and it was obvious the host takes pride in keeping it ready for guests. The host was fantastic to work with from beginning to end. Communication was quick and friendly, and they were genuinely helpful throughout the entire process, from booking to pickup to return. Any questions we had were answered right away, which made everything smooth and stress free. Highly recommend both this camper and host, and we wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future!

How to get to Red Clay State Historic Park
The park sits along the Tennessee-Georgia state line about 17 miles east of Chattanooga, roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive from downtown Chattanooga via I-75 and rural county roads. Cleveland, Tennessee is the closest town, about 15 miles north. The final approach uses narrow two-lane roads with some rolling grades and tight turns, so larger Class A and fifth-wheel drivers should plan the route carefully and avoid shortcuts on unpaved farm roads. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (CHA).
