Getting Outdoors
As with most lakes in the region, Chilhowee Lake doesn’t disappoint when it comes to fishing. Be sure to pack a couple of rods into your RV rental as nothing beats a warm afternoon angling with the kids. The primary fish to look out for include largemouth bass, crappie, and walleye. Trout are stocked annually so they’ll be a relatively easy target.
Camping at Chilhowee Lake
When you go camping at Chilhowee Lake in your RV rental, it would be a great idea to scout for suitable campgrounds before setting off on your expedition. Sitting in a large bowl-shaped valley just off Benton, Chilhowee Recreation Area is a nice option to consider if proximity to the lake is important. The big-rig accessible site only offers electric hookups alongside restrooms and showers. For recreation, guests get access to trails and fishing opportunities.
Exploring the Area
Before your time in a travel trailer at Chilhowee Lake is over, you’ve got to check out the surrounding attraction as it may be long before you’re back. If the kids tagged along, pass by Benton Falls for a 3-mile-long round hike to the spectacular waterfalls. Bring along enough water for the hike as there aren’t any filling stations along the way. For the best photo opportunities, try popping up during the rainy season.

Book this RV! We had the absolutely best time as a family. The owners had everything we could need + more stocked for us. There was even a kids welcome present in the camper when it was delivered with fun activities for our kids. It was the sweetest added touch. The camper was in great shape, clean, and the owners were so welcoming and responsive. I can’t say enough good things. If we ever rent again, it will be from them!
