RV Dump Stations In Jonesborough, Tennessee

Jonesborough has several RV dump stations, with some offering free dumping. That's a solid lineup for a historic town this size, and the stations are spread out enough that you won't be fighting for access during peak travel months.

This is Tennessee's oldest town, sitting just off I-81 in the northeast corner of the state. Most RVers roll through here en route to the Smokies or heading north toward Virginia, but Jonesborough's worth a stop if you're into history -- the whole downtown is a National Historic District. The dump station situation reflects the area's mix of state park infrastructure and private RV parks catering to both short-term travelers and seasonal campers.

You'll find sanitary dump stations at Warriors Path State Park (the newest addition to our directory), KOA - Jonesborough / Cherokee NF KOA (top rated at 4.6/5), and a few other spots including commercial campgrounds and one municipal option. The state park facility sees heavy use during summer weekends, while the private parks tend to have shorter wait times. Most stations here are the standard concrete pad setup with a rinse hose, though not all include potable water fill -- check individual listings before you arrive.

Getting to these sani-dump locations is straightforward. I-81 runs right through Washington County, and most stations are within ten minutes of an interstate exit. Highway 11E parallels the interstate through town, offering an alternate route if you're avoiding highway speeds or want to see more of the area. RV waste disposal here is pretty typical for East Tennessee -- paid stations run $5-10, and the free option requires a bit of local knowledge to find.
