Airbnb & private camping
Hipcamp

Not a realistic fit. KnoxWalls is a free, urban, one-day street festival with no camping component. Hipcamp-style private-land camping exists in the wider East Tennessee region (e.g. toward the Smokies) but is not a practical festival-lodging alternative for a downtown Knoxville day event.
