Southlake RV Park - Knoxville

I got a chance to drive through there today on the way home from work.

In a nutshell, the reviews on rvparkreviews are just about accurate. This is not a place you would head for vacation. It is rundown and primarily occupied by working folks this time of year.

Rates are 250 a week or 450 for the month and include electric, water, sewer, and cable.

The owner told me most of the slots are taken for roofers and contractors that followed last Spring's big tornado / hail storms.

I wouldn't mind staying here if it was just a place to crash. HOWEVER, I wouldn't take my family here. Being female, you might find that you are the only one there at night.

Gut reaction is that the only thing going for it is the proximity to downtown. I would be more comfortable commuting a longer distance for something nicer. Maybe some other local members have ideas. You might also check out http://www.volunteercampers.com for a more local perspective.

The closest other options are far west of Knoxville in Lenoir City or towards Sevier county. There may be options north of town but I don't know anything about them.

And for the pictures.... (cell phone pics in the rain from inside the car so forgive the quality) I also have a large campground map. It is too large for my home scanner but I may be able to reduce it at work & post later.








This is loop A along the lake and generally set aside for overnighters.
