Discover Norris Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips
Norris Lake is located north of the town of Knoxville in Tennessee and was the first reservoir that was created by the Tennessee Valley Authority. It is a very long lake, extending 73 miles up Clinch River and 55 miles up the Powell from Norris Dam. The creation of the dam started in 1933, and Norris Lake was filled in 1937. As the area gets a lot of rain, it is a vital tool for flood prevention, however, is also used for water storage, hydroelectric power, and is a popular recreational lake.

Getting Outdoors
As Norris Lake is pretty big, there is room to accommodate a range of water sports. Boating and water skiing are both popular ways for visitors to spend their vacation time when motorhome camping around the lake, especially in the summer months, with some people coming to simply chill and bask in the deck under the hot Tennessee sun, while others enjoy the thrill of speed that waterskiing can provide. There are plenty of secluded coves to explore, which are often best seen from on the water, providing a new perspective of the shores and surrounding coastline.
Camping at Norris Lake
There are a few options for those that want to go camping at Norris Lake. One such option is Loyston Point Campground, nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian chain. Most campsites have a lake view, with some sites directly on the waterfront, while others are located a little further back in the trees and grassy areas. There is a total of 64 campsites, most of which have electric hook-up available, and there are also heated showers and flush toilets. Pets are welcome at this campsite.
Exploring the Area
As the lake lies close to Knoxville, many of the area's attractions lie in or around the city. For example, the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum provides a lovely day trip, especially when the weather is nice. Sitting on 47 acres, visitors are invited to explore some of the walking trails, display gardens, unique and historic horticulture, and much more. Thanks to donations and support, the gardens are completely free to visit, and located just 5 minutes from downtown, it is definitely worth the trip when you camp in an RV near Knoxville.
