What are the requirements for renting an RV in Tennessee?

You’ll usually need to be 25 or older with a valid U.S. driver’s license. Some RV owners may rent to drivers 21+ with a clean record and extra insurance added.

Do I need a special driver’s license to rent an RV in Tennessee?

Nope! A standard Tennessee Class D license works just fine for most RVs under 26,000 lbs, which covers nearly every vehicle on Outdoorsy.

How much does it cost to rent an RV in Tennessee?

Most rentals run between $110 and $250 per night, depending on the rig, the season, and the bells and whistles. Expect prices to climb a bit during festival weekends, fall foliage season, or peak vacation months.

Are there mileage or generator usage limits?

Most rentals include 100–150 miles per day and a set number of generator hours. If you’re going further or staying off-grid longer, check your listing to avoid surprise fees.

Can I take my rented RV into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park?

Absolutely! Just keep in mind that some campgrounds have size restrictions (usually 35 feet or less) and fill up fast during peak seasons. Reservations are highly recommended.

The Tennessee Outdoors

Book an RV rental in Tennessee and travel to Cumberland Mountain State Park, which encompasses 1,720 acres around Byrd Lake. It features several miles of hiking trails that meander along the banks of Byrd Creek and through the surrounding hills, including the five-mile Pioneer Trail and the interpretive Cumberland Plateau Trail. Recreational facilities in the park include children’s playgrounds, tennis courts, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool, as well as an 18-hole golf course. Don’t miss a visit to the Cumberland Homesteads Tower Museum, which occupies an octagonal structure built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. There are 145 campsites within the park, with 30 or 50-amp electric connections available for RVs.In the far east of Tennessee is Roan Mountain State Park, which lies in the Blue Ridge of the Appalachian Mountains near the border with North Carolina. It’s home to the Miller Farmstead, which was constructed in the early 20th century and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After exploring its home, barn, and cemetery, you can get active on the hiking and mountain biking trails or take a dip in the heated swimming pool that’s open during the warmer months. To see the park at its most spectacular, coincide your visit with the Roan Mountain Rhododendron Festival, which takes place at the peak of the alpine catawba rhododendron bloom in June. There’s an RV campground in Roan Mountain State Park with more than 100 sites, most of which offer water and electric hookups.If you drive west of Nashville, you’ll eventually arrive at Montgomery Bell State Park, which sprawls across 3,000 acres of wooded terrain. It’s a year-round hub for mountain biking, hiking, and boating, with fishing for channel catfish, bluegill, and crappie possible in the waters of Lake Acorn and Lake Woodhaven. There’s also an 18-hole golf course. The park is named after the renowned iron industrialist Montgomery Bell and is considered the birthplace of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. There are campsites in Montgomery Bell State Park, including options with water/electric or full hookups.

Exploring Tennessee’s Cities

No trip to Tennessee is complete without visiting Nashville, which is both the state capital and the home of country music in the United States. It’s here that you’ll find iconic landmarks such as the Grand Ole Opry House and the historic Ryman Auditorium, not to mention the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Learn about the life and music of Johnny Cash at the Johnny Cash Museum before experiencing the city’s contemporary live music scene in one of the honky-tonks that cluster in The District. There are several RV parks in Nashville, including the Two Rivers RV Park and the Safe Harbor RV Resort.In the far southwest of Tennessee is Memphis, which is renowned as the home of Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion. The city’s legendary music scene is celebrated at the Rock 'n' Soul Museum and Blues Hall of Fame. You can walk in the footsteps of Elvis and Johnny Cash at the Sun Studio. Also not to miss in Memphis is the National Civil Rights Museum, which occupies the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination at the Lorraine Motel. When it’s time to park for the night, you can head to the Graceland RV Park & Campground or hop across the border into Arkansas to stay at Tom Sawyer’s RV Park.Overlooking the Tennessee River in the state’s eastern region is the city of Knoxville, which centers around the Market Square and its 19th-century buildings. You can delve into the local history at the Museum of East Tennessee History or visit James White’s Fort, which was built by the Revolutionary War captain in 1786. After soaking up the views of the city from the iconic Sunsphere, head to the Clinton/Knoxville North KOA or the Soaring Eagle Campground to take advantage of their full hookup RV sites.
