Campgrounds for the RV'ers

There are a number of campgrounds available in the area.  Although the reunion will be held in Johnson City, the historical importance for the family is Elizabethton, Sycamore Shoals and Sinking Creek Baptist Church.
The nearest campground is Camp Stonefly.  The campground is on the Watauga River just a stones throw from Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park.  This is where Fort Watauga is located.  You might also want to consider Ridgeview Campgrounds about 5 minutes from downtown Elizabethton.  However, there are many campgrounds in the area that may be more your style.
