Raccoon Valley - Escapees RV Parks 908 East Raccoon Valley Drive, Heiskell, TN 37754

"My story and experience with the Escapee’s Raccoon Valley RV park and associated problems began December 4th of 23. While staying in the park in October I made reservations for the month of December starting December 4th. I arrived at the park at 6:00 am the 5th and after driving all night, hooked up and went to sleep. At 9:00 the phone rang. It was Fran in the office. I thought they wanted me to check in but to my surprise Fran said I didn’t qualify to stay there. When I asked what she was talking about she replied “this is not a negotiation”. She said my 99 Dutch Star diesel pusher was to run down for the park. It did need to be washed which I planned to do there. She said my fiberglass shell was cracked. There are two cracks in the rear bumper shroud from a lawn chair and tree. This incident threw my Christmas plans into chaos and in trying to find a solution it took me a couple of days. Fran then had the sheriff send three cars and three deputies to make me leave. I have tried to talk to Escapee’s management in Texas but they aren’t willing to hear my side. In addition they have refused to refund the deposit I made for the reservation. If you don’t have any problem you are probably ok but don’t expect anyone in management to listen to you or help with a problem. Very unprofessional management!"

"Middle of the winter with -7 temps forecasted for next week. Your not allowed to put any kind of underpinning around your camper to try and stay warm. Yes I would love to spend my entire paycheck on propane or freeze to death. They want you to turn your water off at night because your responsible for the spicket freezing but they have no regard for you turning into a popsicle. No thank you. Probably a beautiful area in the summer but 0/10 do not recommend in the winter"

"We spent a month here and loved it. The hosts were very helpful and responsive, and the park was extremely chill and quiet. It's convenient to downtown Knox and surrounding areas, just minutes away. And there's some wonderful nature trails in the adjacent forest. If your an Escapees member, this is a really good campground. We'll definitely be back."

"Cleanest bathrooms ever. We just finished staying a month here. It was very hard to leave. Great no frills park. Hiking trails are perfect. Park is quiet, people are friendly. I can't wait to come back already!"

"Park is clean and well maintained. Employees are extremely helpful and friendly. All sites are gravel and close to being level. Bathrooms are clean and kept stocked. Showers are on the small side and difficult to use properly if you are a medium or larger size adult. There is no handicapped bathroom stall or shower. Laundry room has 4 washers and dryers and is also clean. They offer a social hour in the evening but we didn't make it to the gathering. Sites are close together but there is enough room to open slides."
