History

The motel on the property was originally built in 1947 and was first called Motel X. It has since been updated a bit and is now called Rocky Top Motel and Campground. In the 1950s, when small RVs were invented and started to become more popular, the owners of Rocky Top Motel and Campground started to open up some of the property for RV spaces. Since then, spots for RV's have become the most common availability at the property. Daniel Nieman, the current owner of the campground, has been the owner since 2017 and has put a lot of work into updating the motel and the campgrounds.
