Campgrounds close to East Tennessee State University?

Question

Our son has a baseball camp and tournament there middle of next month. Hoping to find something fairly close by, preferably on the Knoxville side (will be coming via I40 to I81 to I26. So I guess something along I26 possibly?

Open to ideas, but would really prefer to be on the Knoxville side, as the tournament may be over late enough so that we will want to get home as quickly as possible afterwards (about a 150 miles from home).

Doesn't have to be fancy or anything like that, as we likely won't be spending very much time there.

Thanks in advance.

I would find a cg in one of several ways. Using my campground directory (I have two) look up the campgrounds in the nearby towns, or, do a Google search for `_______ campgrounds' and put the nearby town in the blank space, or, when close to the destination search for campgrounds with your gps.

Woodsmoke in Unicoi TN gets good reviews. Not sure if you can get satellite if it's wooded. about 10 miles.  Another option: Riverpark Campground in Jonesborough TN abt 12 miles.

Don't know if Woodsmoke is still open, owner died earlier this year and wife didn't know if she was going to keep it going. I would check to see, it is a basic sites, very wooded, clean, but not much on amenities. Riverpark is OK, about a 10-15 minute drive to ETSU down a back road.

Depending if they are playing at Wing Deer park, Lakeview in Bluff City would be very convenient. It also good for ETSU, nice amenities, a little more room than Riverpark. It is about a 15-20 minute drive to ETSU, 10 minutes or less to Wing Deer.

I knew my TN Volunteers would chime in to help a brother out, thanks and keep them coming if anyone else thinks of anything. Right now, Woodsmoke is looking pretty good, but will call and verify still in operation on Monday. No idea what other fields are going to be used besides ETSU, so figured I'd default to the west/south of Johnson City since it is closer to home.
