Need cheap campground or RV park in Knox Co. TN or close to it

[SaltySeaWitch]

My son just bought a TT and needs a place to park it long term. Does anyone know of a cheap place? He works in Knoxville but Roane county or Anderson County would work if needed. He can't afford much so price is a factor. He has a child so he needs hook ups for water and electric. If you know of anything I would appreciate the info. Thanks!

according to freecampsites.net the escapees have a park 11 miles outside of knoxville. A membership is cheap enough at 39.95 for a new member.

The Raccoon Valley Campground is $12.00/night for members

There are a few other free campgrounds and cheap campgrounds 30 plus miles from Farragut

You're already probably aware that some mobile home parks allow RVs long term and the rent is usually much more reasonable than an RV park or at least that is what we have seen. Hope he finds something that works.

Thanks Snow Gypsy. He ended up renting a house because his gf didn't want to live in a travel trailer or RV. I did find some free camping in Spring City that I made note of for myself ;-)

I was a member of escapees for several years. Very friendly bunch!
All of their parks have no hookup sites for $5 a night (last time I checked)

I agree but you know how it is. Gotta let him figure it out on his own. Which shouldn't take long since no way he can't afford the place he rented.
