While in Knoxville visiting Cristina and David, we stayed in the Volunteer Park Campground in Heiskel, TN which is about 10-12 minutes north of Knoxville. The Campground was quiet and nice. See my review in RV Parky under the campground link on this web site.
Knoxville is a small city or big town depending on how you look at it. It is the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority, but most importantly as pertinent to us, it is home to the University of Tennessee where both David and Cristina are working on their respective degrees.
The UT is a huge research university and, judging by the construction around it, it's growing by the second! It not only has every possible major, it also houses a veterinary and a medical school. I was very impressed with this institution.
While in Knoxville, we visited the World Fair Sphere and the Market Square, as well as the UT's
botanical gardens. See pictures below. We also had wonderful Tennessee BBQ at Buddy's, which I highly recommend.
