Come on in,
you're among
friends.

Rising Son RV Park sits along the quiet shores of Douglas Lake in Newport, Tennessee — a place where the water is calm, the sites are spacious, and nobody treats you like a stranger.

Our Story

A place to pull in,
settle in, and stay a while.

Rising Son RV Park has been a quiet stop along Douglas Lake for years — a place where travelers, weekenders, and seasonal guests all find the same thing: a well-kept site, a friendly wave from the office, and no rush to leave.

We're located just off Lamplighter Road in Newport, Tennessee, only minutes from town but far enough away that the only traffic you'll hear is the water lapping at the shore. Whether you're passing through on a long route or planning a proper lakeside getaway, we'd be glad to have you.

Douglas Lake

Tennessee's hidden
treasure.

Douglas Lake stretches across three counties and is known for some of the best freshwater fishing in the Southeast. Bass, crappie, catfish — it's all here, and it's all right outside our front gate.

Whether you're an angler plotting your next trip or someone who just wants to watch the sunrise from a quiet dock, this lake has a way of slowing you down and making you stay longer than you planned.
