Facility Overview
Situated along the picturesque shores of Norris Lake in Claiborne County, the parking facility at 134 Lone Mountain Boat Dock Ln (#24) in Tazewell, Tennessee serves the community around the Lone Star RV Park and the adjacent Lone Mountain Marina and Boat Dock. Established as an open-air, ground-level gravel and paved surface lot, the parking area is designed in an unconstrained rural footprint. Because there are no overhead structures, multi-level decks, or low parking garage ceilings, there are virtually no vertical clearance limits. This open format easily accommodates standard passenger vehicles, oversized pickup trucks, SUVs, utility trailers, boat trailers, and high-roof recreational vehicles (RVs).

Ingress and egress are managed via Lone Mountain Boat Dock Lane, which connects seamlessly to Lone Mountain Road and Tennessee State Route 33 (TN-33). The access route features winding rural county roads characteristic of East Tennessee topography, requiring careful, steady navigation, particularly for motorists towing wide boat trailers or maneuvering fifth-wheel RV campers.

Personal motor vehicles, trucks, rideshare services, and private shuttle drop-offs are the primary modes of ground transportation.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When traveling down Lone Mountain Boat Dock Lane, maintain lower speeds and exercise caution around blind curves, as local wildlife, pedestrians walking to the docks, and golf carts frequently share the roadway. During peak summer holiday weekends—especially Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day—lakefront traffic increases significantly; arrive early in the morning to secure optimal parking if you are trailering watercraft. Ensure your vehicle and trailer are firmly locked and all personal water sports gear is stored securely out of sight. If arriving at night, GPS systems generally map Lone Mountain Boat Dock Lane reliably, but having offline maps saved is recommended due to intermittent cellular reception in valley sections of Claiborne County.
