Clinton, Tennessee Campground | Clinton / Knoxville North KOA Journey

Welcome to the Clinton / Knoxville North KOA!

The convenience of I-75 is just beyond your campsite, but you'd hardly know it at this peaceful campground in eastern Tennessee. Even the biggest rigs can set up with ease, thanks to easy-on, easy-off access and large, level Pull-Thru RV Sites. Four Deluxe Cabins, Two Camping Cabins, (one pet friendly $) Tent Sites and Premium Tent Sites are available. Enjoy the spacious swimming pool, 12 X 12-foot wading pool for toddlers, exercise room, expanded playground, volleyball, horseshoes and cornhole. A full kitchen and covered pavilion are great for groups, with picnic tables seating up to 80. Visit the Museum of Appalachia, a mile away. The pristine beauty of Norris Lake and the renowned trout-fishing waters of Clinch River are 5 miles away. You're 15 minutes from the University of Tennessee and the Knoxville metro area. The Great Smoky Mountains are 40 minutes away. Pool: May 10 - October 1. Max pull thru: 80 feet. Your hosts: Debbie & Mark Cunningham.

Overall Camper Rating:

Great for our 1 night stay on our long trip home. 5/11/2021

The staff was super friendly. Campground hook ups fine. Sites a tad close side to side but livable. If you are looking for a great restaurant try Harrisons right down the road... 5/6/2021

This KOA is very clean, well kept, helpful staff and each site has a table and fire ring. The reason I only rated a 4 is the site size and also the showers... 4/26/2021
