With enough time/planning anything is possible, I think this is something to consider for next year but am open to suggestions.
Anchors Down RV Resort is centrally situated (In Tennessee).
Calculating milage for those at the edge/distance wise....
under 1000 miles for both Bob86ZZ4 (Bob W) & I
650 miles for Solo318i (Stephen)
400 for Petrel
I marked Anchors Down Resort (Dandridge Tennessee) on our map.
Many of the (concrete pads) RV slots at Anchors Down Resort have outdoor fire places (see attached picture) and all the sites have a great view.
There is LOTS of fishing at Douglas Lake and Anchors Down Resort has its own boat launch as well as rentals for: golf carts, jet skis, pontoon boat.
There are other resorts slightly closer to Knoxville, but they don't seem as nice -
Riverside RV Park & Resort
Two Rivers Landing RV Resort
Knoxville is 25 miles from Anchors Down (less from the Other resorts).
There are all kinds of OUTLETS (shopping) less than 15 miles away too (since someone mentioned that).
I know there is consistently the cheapest fuel at exit 412 on i40 (4 miles from the RV campground)...and there is a Loves truck/tire stop at the same exit.
Anyway just thinking out loud....
