Riverside RV Calm: Pinewood Canoe and Camp on the Piney River.
Set along the Piney River in Nunnelly, Tennessee, the RV campsite at Pinewood Canoe and Camp sits beneath towering bluffs and above a beloved swimming hole, offering simple, serviceable amenities—sites for RVs and tents, 30-amp and 110-volt plugs, fire rings and a shared bathhouse with hot showers—framed by the slow, steady current of the river and the hush of rural Tennessee.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Swimming hole beneath the bluffs
The campground fronts the Piney River with a cool swimming hole and scenic bluffs across the water—an easy, low-effort draw for cooling off and taking in the river scenery.
Simple, RV-ready sites
Sites accommodate RVs up to 30 feet and include a 30-amp plug and 110-volt outlet, space for tents, and fire rings for campfires and cooking.
A communal bathhouse and campground rules
A shared bathhouse with hot showers serves the campground; a set of rules (quiet hours, leash requirements for dogs, no glass, and check-in at the office) keeps the place orderly and family-friendly.
What the day feels like
What the stay feels like
Arrive in the late afternoon, slide into a compact riverside site, plug in, and set up a fire ring as light slants off the bluffs. Days unfurl with swims and shoreline sitting; nights are governed by quiet hours and the low, steady comfort of an organized campground. Practical conveniences—hot showers in a central bathhouse and regulated check-in—mean this is camping pared of fuss and focused on the river.
