Old Mill Camp

Campground in Cookeville, TN • 23 RV Sites

Old Mill Camp in Cookeville, TN, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites and 2 cottages, with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. The maximum rig length in the record isn't reliable, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. A general store, firewood, WiFi, and a playground cover the essentials. The property is gated and guests are issued the code at booking. Pets are welcome. Walking trails and hiking fill the grounds, and the general store is a genuine one rather than a vending nook. Old Mill Camp sits directly across the road from Cummins Falls State Park in the rural highlands of Jackson County, on Blackburn Fork Road. From I-40, take Exit 280 toward Baxter and Gainesboro and head north on Highway 56, following the directional signs. The falls are among the most dramatic swimming holes in Tennessee. Rates for sites and cottages are on the booking page. Cummins Falls limits gorge access by permit in season — check that alongside your reservation.
