Knoxville Tennessee RV Parks
RV Tip of the Month Always know everything about the operation of the motor home you are renting. I found it helpful to record a video of the demo given at the time of renting. It is helpful to review it at least one time before leaving. If you have time before your scheduled trip, ask for a complete tour and operational review a few days before pick up. This will save you time on pick up day. Safe Travels! See America in an RV |
RV Pre-Travel Check List Every morning that is a travel day, be sure to check the following items before you leave: 1. Oil level of the RV If you are towing a car, be sure to create a check list for it as well. Don't rely on your memory when you can have an easy list like this. Safe RVing! See America in an RV |
RV Tip of last Month When traveling in an RV, one of the "not-so-nice" things you have to deal with is the waste water system consisting of "black" and "grey" tanks. "Black" water is from the toilets while "Grey" is from sinks and showers. Both need "Toilet" chemical treatment every time after you "dump" the tanks. Be sure to dump the "black" water tank first, close the drain and dump the "grey" tank. This allows the grey to flush out any lingering black water. I always shake and drain the hose between dumps. Be sure to have a check list to confirm you closed both drains when finished. Nice, if you are pulling out to travel for the day, add 2 bags of ice to the toilet drain, then your chemicals. As you are moving, the ice sloshes in the mostly empty tank, helping to clean the inside walls from black water buildup. This is not a substitute for the occasional flushing of the black water tank but it sure helps. Safe Motor Home Travels! See America in an RV |
Knoxville Tennessee RV Parks and Camp Grounds
Knoxville is the gateway city to the Great Smoky Mountains, which has many wonderful places to visit, trails to hike and mountain tops to climb. One of the best ways to experience all the wonders of the Smokies is to go RVing!
With many RV resorts and campgrounds to choose from, you and your family can travel to and stay in the areas you want, having a base camp to come back to after a day of experience and exploration.
Most commercial facilities include all the basic hookups with swimming pools, washaterias and organized activities. Many are located next to rivers or streams to allow fishing and other water activities.
The National Park Service also has several campgrounds for use. Find their information here.
As an RVer myself, I have stayed at many of the parks you will find listed here. I drive a 40' diesel and not all can accomodate "comfortably" a rig over 40', although many do offer spacious "pull thru" or back into spaces.
I hope you find this listing useful as you and yours select the location close to your destination. If you find you need any RV repairs, we have used Ricky and think he is the best!
