We are a family campground & RV park located just outside of Knoxville, TN. Our campground is open year-round. Among the tranquil woods, you will enjoy all of our campground amenities, such as a swimming pool, playground, and clubhouse.
We are just a short drive away from Knoxville, TN and other area attractions. When you camp at Volunteer Park Family Campground, your family is our family. Our Knoxville campground is kept clean, and the showers, pool, and laundry are regularly attended to. Our campsites are shady and quiet and can accommodate everything from tents, pop-ups to large “Big Rig” RVs. So come on over and enjoy the natural beauty of our home in East Tennessee!

We are located on I-75, 12 Miles North of Downtown Knoxville, West at Exit 117, 3/10 of a mile on the left side of Raccoon Valley Road. Reservations accepted. Drive-ups welcomed. Sevierville, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are about an hour’s drive away.
Fantastic place to stay! It is kid friendly, with a pool and a playground. They also allow pets. The campsites are nice and clean plus, the staff here are friendly and very helpful. It’s only a couple minutes from the highway and less than 20 minutes to downtown Knoxville. We loved it so much we will be coming back here every year!
Stayed here for 6 months while on assignment in a local hospital. Close to everything. Prices are fair and park managers are very accommodating. Kristin is a real sweetheart. This place made me fall in love with the south.
Went to the campground to grab a tent sight for the night. Upon walking up I was asked what I was doing there. I explained that I wanted a tent site for the night. The lady tried to tell me that they had none available. I told her that according to the website they had 4. She then tells me that they don't allow "homeless" people there. I explained that I was from Oregon and not homeless. Then she counters with "well you have to have a car to stay here"
You tell me what I should think about that..
We enjoyed our stay at Volunteer Family Campground but have two items to note that made it less that ideal. One is within management control, the other isn't. Our site was almost level and we had no issues with the FHU. It's a great layout for a daily walk. Most of the annual sites are well-kept and the residents were all friendly.
On the issues mentioned above, the first is that the smoking area appears to be on the porch area right next to the office doors. More than once I had to walk through smoke to get to the door. Other times the area and inside smelled of cigarette smoke. Moving smokers away from the door would be a smart move.
The other that future campers should be aware of is that the park is next to a Waste Management location and across the street from a cement company and another company that does something with rock. All three have big, loud trucks that start moving around 5:30 a.m. and go in and out until evening. I understand this isn't in the park's control but if you camp here and want to sleep late, have something to block the noise.
