About Laurel Creek RV Park

Campground in Tennessee.

Nestled in the scenic foothills of Tennessee, Laurel Creek RV Park offers a peaceful retreat in Damascus, a town celebrated for its natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities. This well-established RV park serves as an excellent base for exploring the region's stunning landscapes, from lush valleys to rolling hillsides that define the character of East Tennessee.

Damascus holds a special place in the hearts of outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those passionate about hiking and water activities. The town sits at the convergence of three major trails, making it a destination for adventurers seeking to explore some of Appalachia's most pristine wilderness areas. Whether you're planning to tackle a section of the Appalachian Trail, explore the Virginia Creeper Trail on foot or by bike, or venture onto local hiking paths, Laurel Creek RV Park places you within easy reach of these outdoor pursuits. The nearby Laurel River and other waterways provide opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and simply enjoying the soothing sounds of flowing water.

Beyond the trails, Damascus itself charms visitors with its vibrant downtown area featuring local shops, restaurants, and galleries that showcase regional craftsmanship and cuisine. The community's welcoming atmosphere and strong connection to outdoor recreation mean you'll find plenty of like-minded travelers and locals happy to share recommendations for hidden gems in the area.

The surrounding landscape is characterized by dense forests, mountain views, and the kind of natural tranquility that makes RV camping truly restorative. Spring brings wildflowers and cascading waterfalls, summer offers cool mountain air and lush greenery, fall transforms the hillsides into brilliant displays of color, and winter provides crisp days perfect for shorter hikes and exploration.

Laurel Creek RV Park is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic Appalachian experience without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're a serious hiker, casual nature lover, outdoor photographer, or simply looking to escape the hustle of daily life, this Damascus location provides the perfect staging point for discovering why this region has captivated visitors for generations.

This was a great little creekside RV park with full hookups, a good location, a relaxed environment, a nice host, etc. We didn't have any issues pulling our small RV into the lot. It is understandable why the bath house had to be shut down (locals coming and trashing it), but it would have definitely been great to have the bath house as an option for the morning when we had to pack up and leave.

One afternoon, it had rained a lot, which made the creek flow really well. While we didn't go tubing ourselves, a lot of families with children really enjoyed tubing down the creek. We loved how close this RV park was to local trails and other nature. Would recommend! :)

This place is a gem. My wife and I love this place. There is no bath or showers there but that's why we have a camper. I myself love fishing your right on the creek and the creeper is a must do you can rent a bike down town and ride the trail.

Perfect for what we needed! Owner is super friendly and helpful! We came to Damascus to ride the bike trail and wanted to camp a few nights. This campground is super close to the bike rental places (we used Sundog and recommend them) Full hook ups (20, 30, 50 amp breakers) We had 2 set ups, a 40 ft Class A & a 31 ft Travel Trailer Honestly our cell service was better than the wifi, but we we were...

The sites are right on the creek so the kids could play in the water! You can hear the highway across the creek, but again... we wanted to be close to town, so its no big deal to us.

Absolutely love the campground for what it is, a place to camp. No bathrooms, but you have full hookups so you don't need a bathhouse. No playground, but it's right on a creek with a little hiking trail, nature is the playground! Plus there is a nice playground in town. No WiFi, but hey, why are you camping if you need that!? Owner is easy going, and very friendly. Sites are a bit tight, but it's... Absolutely love the campground for what it is, a place to camp.

We have a 26' TT, no slides. We've been twice, and are definitely going this year.

Great little campground, close to everything in Damascus. Only issue is with the entrance to the campground. FIFTH WHEELS BE WARE! Entrance needs lots of repair and angle into campground changed. Damaged my fiberglass end cap while turning in.
