Livingston offers several RV dump stations for travelers needing to empty their tanks, though some provide free access. This small Tennessee town sits right off Interstate 40, making it a natural stop for RVers crossing the state or heading to nearby Cookeville and the Cumberland Plateau region.

Exit 317 puts you right in the heart of town, and the local roads are generally RV-friendly without the tight turns or low clearances that plague some Tennessee mountain communities.

Traveling to Livingston by RV

Interstate 40 provides the main access route to Livingston, with Exit 317 serving as your primary gateway into town. The exit ramps and local roads can handle big rigs without issue -- you won't encounter the steep grades or tight curves that make some Tennessee destinations challenging for larger RVs. Highway 111 runs north-south through town, connecting to I-40 and providing an alternate route if you're coming from the Cookeville area or heading toward Sparta.

Overnight parking options are limited in downtown Livingston, so plan accordingly if you're not staying at one of the local RV parks. The Walmart on Highway 111 north of town generally allows overnight parking, but it's always smart to check with management first. Fuel stops along the interstate corridor can accommodate RVs, though some of the older stations in town have tighter layouts that work better for smaller rigs. Winter weather occasionally creates icy conditions on I-40 through this stretch, particularly on bridges and overpasses, so keep an eye on road conditions during December through February.
