    Mammoth Cave Campground — Mammoth Cave National Park

    Nature Lovers Paradise

    Site 46B is an exceptional site. Extra large with unobstructed views of the woods away from the roads So much to see and do beyond the cave! This campground is set in the woods with lots of hiking and biking trails within walking distance. Yes, the caves are amazing but don’t forget to explore the surface through hiking, horseback riding and kayaking. The campground has lots of tent campers to big rigs and everything in between. Big rig generators can put a major dent into the campground experience unfortunately but it’s still a beautiful family friendly experience. Bath houses were very clean. Sites are level. The dump station leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a two person operation. One person to use their foot to hold drain open and the other to deal with hose. Wish they offered electric at sites but still one of my favorite campgrounds. Very clean friendly and accessible to activities in the park.

    Grand Ole RV Resort & Market

    Peaceful, Well-Run RV Park with Great Location

    We really enjoyed our stay at The Grand O RV Resort! The staff was super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. A man even led us to our site in a golf cart and helped my fiancé back in and park our trailer, which was a huge help.

    The campground had a small store with supplies, a restaurant with a menu available (though we cooked our own food), and live music each night while we were there during the summer — a nice touch! There’s a train that passes by on the nearby track a couple of times a day, but it was never super early or late and didn’t bother us at all.

    We stayed in the center of the park, which didn’t have much shade, but the outer edge sites seemed more wooded. The roads and campsites are made of small pebbles, which made it easy to drive and back in. It was overall very quiet, and the location is great — just off the interstate, about 10 miles north of Nashville, and roughly 45 minutes from Bowling Green. We visited the National Corvette Museum and Lost River Cave while we were there.

    Our site had full hookups (water, sewer, and electric). The bathhouse was clean, air-conditioned, and accessed with a key code — two toilet stalls and three showers for women, all very well maintained. We didn’t use the laundry facility (if there was one), but the Wi-Fi was decent, and T-Mobile cell service worked well, even for using our hotspot. It’s a pet-friendly park (though we didn’t bring pets), and while there’s no pool or playground, there were some nice wooden swings to enjoy.

    They also have firewood for sale and a propane filling station on site. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend The Grand O to anyone looking for a quiet, clean, and well-located RV park near Nashville!

    Nashville KOA Resort

    Nashville KOA is a great place to stay when visiting the Music City.

    The campground has a variety of sites from deluxe paved pull through with patios to back-in full hookups to tent sites. We stayed in the back-in sites side of the campground. The sites were close together(but not on-top of each other) and many were long enough to handle most average sized rigs. These sites were gravel with grass between, which was well maintained. 50& 30 amp service available. Very flat with minimal leveling needed. The wifi was spotty when the campground was full on the weekends. 

    The bathhouses have individual shower access with separate toilet facilities. These were clean and well maintained. The entire campground was very well maintained and landscaped beautifully, which created a welcoming feeling. 

    There are numerous amenities: pool, hot tub, playground, pickle ball, corn hole, etc. Live music is offered at the pool area a couple nights a week in addition to movies. The camp store is small, with limited selection, but it is attached to a nice size indoor rec room and restaurant/snack bar. A Camping World Store is also right next door to the campground, which is very convenient. 

    A shuttle service is offered daily from 10:00AM-1:30AM between the KOA and downtown Nashville at the Country Music Hall of Fame. The cost is$10 round trip per person. The staff were very friendly and willing to help with any issues and questions. We enjoyed our stay and found the price($68) reasonable for the great location and amenities offered.

    Bowling Green KOA

    Standard KOA/Awesome stay!

    This is a typical KOA park but in an awesome area. The only downside is the traffic noise from the highway. It was not audible inside the RV so it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep.

    The park has nice long pull through spaces, and quite a few long term residents of the park. They have a very nice dog park with obstacles for them in a central location to be accessed by everyone.

    The sites were level and clear of obstacles. They left plenty of space for vehicles and rigs. We had a pull through patio and the space had a giant beautiful tree that was very helpful in the heat.

    Equipment is well maintained at this location! Cell service for AT&T and TMobile we’re both excellent.

    Two Rivers Campground

    Nice RV park for visiting Nashville

    Helpful staff, gravel level sites with concrete pads that have picnic tables on them. Full hook ups. There is a private bus the staff will call that will come pick you up and take you to downtown and return for $10.00. I took the bus because parking is more expensive than the bus fee. I didn’t use the laundry or showers but they looked nice and clean. Great place to stay while visiting Nashville. They had live bands every night out by the pool area while we were here. Nice place for a private park. I would stay again. Camping world is right next door if you need anything. Back in and pull through sites.

    Two Rivers Campground

    Great CG in Nashville

    We spent two nights here (May 24-26, 2022). This is a nice, easy access CG with level pull through and back-in gravel sites in Nashville. It is located within a loop of the Cumberland River, between two RV dealer/repair facilities and surrounded by two RV CGs- it’s a busy area. There are a number of activities available: live music, swimming pool, recreation hall, playground and dog park. We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. It is a great base camp to visit the Nashville (Grand Ole Opry) area. The WiFi was great as was cell phone reception. The cable TV worked well. We would stay here again.

    Nashville North

    City Outskirts campground

    Nice little spot, freeway right behind the park and can hear cars all day/night. Internet was down when we got here and cell signal is hit and miss on all 3 Carriers (Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile). Delivery of anything is challenging for the drivers for some reason. Overall the facility it self is up-kept and clean. Good place for short term but look for better long term options.

Guide to Alvaton

Camping options near Alvaton, Kentucky include sites ranging from heavily wooded areas to open lakeside spots across a mix of Corps of Engineers and private facilities. Located in south-central Kentucky, the region's average summer temperatures hover in the mid-80s with high humidity. Most campgrounds in the area are situated at elevations between 500-700 feet, providing access to both hill country and water recreation.

What to do

Cave exploration opportunities: Campers staying at Singing Hills RV Park And Campground are perfectly positioned for Mammoth Cave adventures. "We stayed at Singing Hills last weekend to celebrate my mother and father in law's birthday's and Easter... It's closely located to I65 south and many of the attractions in Cave City," writes Marissa G.

Fishing at well-stocked ponds: Both tent and RV campers can enjoy fishing at several campgrounds. "Love this campground. Have not found a bad spot yet. Family and pet friendly," reports Laura O. about Dog Creek Campground. Some sites even offer dedicated fishing areas. "This campsite offered electric/water hookup, fire pit, picnic table, filet table, bathrooms, and showers," notes Pawsfuradventure T. about Moutardier Campground.

Kayaking on area lakes: The region offers excellent paddling opportunities. "Kayaking on Nolan's lake and camping at Dog Creek Campground... section C has some of the nicer site, even one with a little lagoon perfect to launch your yaks from," shares Casey C. Water activities are particularly popular during summer months when temperatures typically reach the mid-80s.

What campers like

Private waterfront access: Many sites feature direct water proximity. "We stayed in site 7 for a couple of nights with our tent-camping friends who stayed in site 8... The little catch-and-release pond is well-stocked and there is a catfish pay lake across the street, so our boys had plenty of fishing to keep them busy," reports Sarah about Singing Hills RV Park.

Clean, maintained facilities: Cave Country RV Campground consistently receives praise for cleanliness. "This RV resort is located conveniently 15-20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park. Also there are a lot of places to eat nearby. The staff/owners are all very friendly. I used the laundry room and it was kept very clean," writes Bre B.

Seasonal events: Holiday celebrations add special appeal to many campgrounds. "Family friendly Halloween fun. Has a decorating contest with trick or treat in the campground. Safe and clean with lots of restrooms and lake front sites," shares Laura O. about Moutardier Campground. Events typically run from late spring through early fall when most facilities operate at full capacity.

What you should know

Train noise concerns: Some campgrounds experience railroad disturbances. "I really like and appreciate the dog park where I took my dogs to run and play to get some exercise and they really enjoyed it, too. I took away a star because there is a train that goes by about every 20-40mins and it is quite loud," notes Bre B. about Cave Country RV Campground.

Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven sites at some locations. "Would be 5 stars if sites were better graded. Helpful and over-the-top nice office staff. We arrived early and they made room for us. First site was a concrete pad, we were assigned a different site when our original reservation was scheduled, but we went to office to say it was too unlevel for us," explains Jim W. about Thousand Trails Diamond Caverns RV & Golf Resort.

Limited shade: Many RV campgrounds near Alvaton have minimal tree cover. "Not much shade but nice lake views. Lacking in restrooms and shade trees. Good for boaters as there is a nice sand bank to pull your boat up to," cautions Laura O. about Dog Creek Campground. Temperatures in July and August regularly reach mid-90s, making shade an important consideration.

Tips for camping with families

Look for multiple playgrounds: Some properties offer extensive kid-friendly amenities. "Friendly quiet clean and family friendly! Great for tents or trailers and everything in between. 3 playgrounds with safe clean equipment. Plant of lake view sites and positioned to provide a semi private experience," recommends Laura O. about Moutardier Campground.

Consider proximity to attractions: Wax - Nolin River Lake offers excellent access to regional activities. "First time at Wax and we will be back! Some of the nicest shower houses, cleanest sites and nice shade. Even when the campground was full over the holiday week, you didn't know you had neighbors!" shares Laura O.

Choose campgrounds with fishing ponds: Kids often enjoy simple fishing options. "The little catch-and-release pond is well-stocked and there is a catfish pay lake across the street, so our boys had plenty of fishing to keep them busy," writes Sarah about Singing Hills RV Park. Many campgrounds provide fishing equipment or allow easy bank access.

Tips from RVers

Request specific sites: At some RV campgrounds near Alvaton, Kentucky, site selection makes a significant difference. "Site selection is all important at this campsite. Some have wonderful lake access, shade, and a bit of seclusion. others no trees, no lake, in the middle of everyone," advises Casey C. about Dog Creek Campground.

Consider power needs: Different sites offer varying electrical capacities. "The electricity at the campground doesn't appear to be able to handle the amount of load that most campers will pull in the summer months. The checkin packet recommends not running multiple high wattage appliances simultaneously," notes Jason F. about Diamond Caverns RV Resort.

Check water connection locations: Some hookups may be awkwardly placed. "Our site had issues, no fire ring...other sites had one, we didn't ask about getting one...it probably wouldn't have been a big deal to grab one from another site. Our parking area was level with gravel. Our water hookup was weird…it ended up under our back bumper were we had to crawl under to connect," cautions Beth B. about Jellystone Park at Mamoth Cave.
