Just seeing this lovely campground will soothe any road weariness right out of your soul. It's tucked between the gurgling Tellico River and an apple orchard with thousands of blossoming trees striping three Tennessee hillsides. Rent tubes on-site and toss yourself right into the flowing waters for a fun-filled float or stroll alongside on the campground's river walk. Feeling adventurous? Sign up with a nearby outfitter for an adrenaline-pumping whitewater raft ride. The Cherokee National Forest begins right outside the gates, home to waterfalls, hiking paths and scenic drives like the Cherohala Skyway, which winds over 6,000-foot mountains and into North Carolina. But you might have a hard time getting the kids in the car: The Tellico Plains KOA gets high marks for its playground.
