Floating dock beneath quarry cliffs at Quarry Trails Campground in Knoxville

Quarry Trails Campground

An urban wilderness campground in South Knoxville. Tent sites, RV spots, and a short trail to the quarry.

185 Wrinkle Avenue · Knoxville

Your urban
wilderness retreat.

This is not a highway pull-off with a picnic table. Quarry Trails Campground sits in a Knoxville rock quarry — cliffs, water, trails, and a night sky that still shows up after the city lights fade.

Come for the hike, the bike, the float, or the quiet. Stay for the campfire. Downtown Knoxville is a short drive, bike, or walk when you want dinner, music, or a second wind. Then you come back to stone, stars, and a site that actually feels like you left town.

CAMP

Pitch the night against quarry walls and let the fire do the talking.

HIKE

Step off site and into nearby trails. Earn the view. Come back dusty.

The city is close.
The quarry is closer.

When you want more than the fire ring, downtown Knoxville is right there — dining, shopping, live music, and whatever the night is doing. Leave camp, hit the city, and be back under the stars before the wood burns down.
