Raccoon Valley Escapees Park, Heiskel TN

Stay Date:  Sept 2013

Our Rating:  Good – 6

We’re Escapees and enjoy staying at their parks for the friendly hosts and fellow campers, but this park was a disappointment.  Easy access from I-75, friendly check in, and an easy drive on gravel interior roads to the gravel, not too level pull-thru sites.  The sites are uncomfortably close, awnings almost touch slideouts, and there’s a half-hearted attempt at a grass strip, but your area is mostly gravel with an aged picnic table.  Quiet at night, but too many security lights keep the area bright. Cable only for long termers, and Tengo WiFi for $3/day.  Most sites are treeless so a clear shot to the satellite.  Verizon cell and data worked well.  Most long-term visitors keep their sites tidy, but a few are falling apart.  OK for a one night stay, with good access to Knoxville.  $18/night for 50A.  Raccoon Valley Escapees Park.
