Facility Overview
Evergreens RV Park is a serene, open-air rural RV and vehicle parking retreat situated at 109 Upper Rd in the scenic Appalachian foothills of Parrottsville, Tennessee. Designed primarily to accommodate recreational vehicles, travel trailers, toy haulers, and oversized passenger vehicles, the property features spacious outdoor gravel-and-grass parking pads. Because it is completely open-air with no overhead structures or low-hanging clearance canopies, visitors enjoy unlimited vertical height clearance, making it suitable for high-roof camper vans, fifth wheels, class A motorhomes, large dual-axle pickup trucks, and standard passenger cars alike. Wide turning radiuses throughout the grounds facilitate simple maneuvering and parking even for long rig setups.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Nestled in historic Cocke County, Evergreens RV Park serves as a quiet, scenic basecamp away from the dense tourist traffic while keeping mountain attractions within accessible driving range. Historic downtown Newport is located approximately 15 minutes away, offering grocery shopping, hometown diners, and local services. Outdoor enthusiasts can reach the French Broad River within 10 to 15 minutes for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, while Cherokee National Forest trails are roughly a 20- to 30-minute drive away. Popular regional tourist hubs such as Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park can be reached within a 45- to 60-minute scenic drive, providing a peaceful country sanctuary to return to after exploring theme parks and bustling mountain promenades.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The facility is accessed directly via Upper Road, connecting smoothly to Highway 321 (US-321) and Highway 340, which provide rapid regional links to Interstate 40 (I-40) near Newport. Due to its pastoral countryside setting, local public transit and passenger rail options are nonexistent, requiring personal vehicles or motorhomes for regional mobility. Ingress and egress routes are wide and level, allowing easy entry and exit even during check-in and check-out windows. Drivers should note that rural East Tennessee country roads may feature gentle rolling hills and narrow sections, so taking turns cautiously with wide trailers is advised.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When traveling to 109 Upper Road, follow major state highways (US-321 / TN-340) toward Parrottsville before turning onto local country connectors; avoid unpaved secondary forest tracks that some automated GPS applications might recommend as shortcuts for large rigs. If arriving after dusk, navigate carefully as rural roads feature minimal street lighting. Advance reservations are strongly encouraged, especially during peak fall foliage months and summer holiday weekends when regional campground demand across East Tennessee is at its height.
