About Us
Smoky Mountain Views, Tana-See Hospitality
Nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Tana-See Campground offers a warm East Tennessee welcome and a peaceful place to unwind. With spacious RV sites, full hookups, clean bath houses, and friendly staff, it’s the kind of spot that feels like home—just with better mountain views.
Curious about our name? No, we aren’t poking fun at the way we talk! “Tana-See” is how the Native American tribe referred to this beautiful area.

Our family stayed here for about 6 months and I couldn't have asked for a better place to be! We wouldn't have left but our 2 mo old passed away and it was very painful for my husband to be there. The people that live there are great and the people in the office go above and beyond to help. If I could I would come back in a heartbeat. It's a great place to be!

Our children live in Newport, great place to stay when we come to visit! Stayed there many times in the past and plan to again soon. Good people to stay with! I highly recommend them. Make sure you have a reservation. Sometimes, they are full. That's why I say this is a great choice.

Quiet EZ access RV park with a long pull through that was perfect for an overnight stop. Definitely we would return.
