Lakeside Campground is a full-service outdoor retreat in Mooresburg, Tennessee — where carefully placed sites, reliable amenities, and the quiet beauty of the Appalachian foothills come together for an experience that feels intentional, not improvised.
Located on Slate Hill Road just outside Mooresburg, Lakeside Campground was designed for people who refuse to compromise — whether that's a level pad for their rig, a fire ring that actually works, or a setting that feels like it was chosen with purpose rather than accident.
We don't treat camping as a stripped-down afterthought. Every site is placed to give you privacy and a sense of immersion in the surrounding woods. Every amenity is maintained because we know the difference between something that's "good enough" and something that makes a trip feel effortless.
Whether you're traveling light with a tent or rolling in with a full-size RV, we have a site positioned for comfort, privacy, and easy access to everything you need.
Spacious, level pads with full hookups — water, electricity, and sewer — designed to handle everything from a compact travel trailer to a large fifth wheel. Pull-through and back-in options available.
Carefully positioned clearings among mature trees — flat, well-drained, and far enough apart to give you real privacy. Each site includes a fire ring and a level area pitched for your tent.
Planning a family reunion, a hunting trip, or just need a base for a week or more? We offer flexible arrangements for longer stays and larger groups — reach out and we'll find the right fit.
Practical amenities done right — so your trip is about the experience, not the hassle.
Full water, electric, and sewer connections on select sites for a comfortable, plug-and-stay experience.
Every site comes with a dedicated fire ring — because a proper campfire isn't something you should have to improvise.
Well-maintained restroom facilities on-site, kept clean and accessible throughout your stay.
Flexible arrangements for families, hunting parties, and extended stays — just give us a call to discuss your needs.
Generously spaced sites with natural privacy buffers — no cramped neighbors or shared walls.
Tucked into the East Tennessee woods away from through traffic — quiet nights and real darkness.
Open and accessible throughout the year — spring wildflowers, summer greenery, fall color, and winter solitude.
Easy access to Cherokee National Forest, local lakes, and the towns of Mooresburg and nearby Johnson City.
Mooresburg sits in the shadow of the Cherokee National Forest — one of the most accessible old-growth forests in the eastern United States. From our doorstep, you're minutes from trailheads, reservoirs, and ridgelines that reward anyone willing to look past the parking lot.
Whether you're here to hike the Cherokee Trail System, cast a line at nearby Watts Bar Lake, hunt the public lands, or simply sit by a fire and watch the sky go dark, this is the kind of place that doesn't need entertainment — it provides the conditions for it.
"The difference between a camping trip that feels like compromise and one that feels like a real retreat comes down to who planned it — and whether they actually camp."
At Lakeside Campground, we treat every site like we'd want to camp at it ourselves. That means level ground, reliable utilities, real privacy, and a setting that doesn't require you to lower your standards to enjoy the outdoors. It's not a luxury we add on — it's the standard we start with.
