For over forty years The Greater Tennessee Sportsman Show sponsors have promoted outdoor businesses in reaching the public at one location.
The RVs and Campers Show and Sale is in its twenty-fifth year with many of the same exhibitors. New innovations are seen each year since Glenn Curtiss first built the forerunner to the unique, all metal Airstream with its familiar shape. Now you can bring a wide screen TV, those special gadgets, and your very own bed and pillow every time you travel. Now the slide-outs are bigger so you have even more room. You will see fifth wheels or motor homes or the light pop-up campers; one to fit every budget and need. If you haven’t seen a camper recently, don’t miss this show!
The show is at the Expo Center on Clinton Highway, three miles north of downtown Knoxville. From the interstate bypass around downtown take I-75 North and get off at the first exit, Merchants Drive. Go west for five blocks to Clinton Highway. The Expo Center was originally known as the Merchants I-75 Expo covers 120,000 sqft. with acres of free parking around the building. Numerous restaurants, fast food brands and motels are nearby.
Proceeds from the show go to East Tennessee area charities. Past recipients include the Boy Scouts of America, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Clubs, The Wesley Foundation, UTs Biology in a Box for High schools program, and Top Wrench competitions and scholarships for area high school graduates.
Knoxville is the heart of an outdoor recreational wonderland with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as the diamond centerpiece. The Big South Fork National River and Recreational Area, Obed Wild and Scenic River, Cherokee National Forest and tem wilderness areas surround the diamond. The Tennessee Valley Authority’s dams form the “Great Lakes of the South” The bio-diversity is unparalleled anywhere in the nation, just ask any biologist. The geology and topography are spectacular. Over a hundred campgrounds and six Tennessee State Parks are spread over the entire area.
