Best Glamping near Russellville, KY

 Whooping Crane Farm is a private glamping site that you can find on Tentrr. The property is 12 minutes from downtown Nashville, making it a perfect Glamping location. Being close to great restaurants is definitely a plus. The site is gated and right on the river, so the only traffic you have to worry about are the barges that are passing by on the river, or any boaters that are out. There’s a pond on the property, and they advertise kayak rentals. You could ride a bike around the property also, if you bring your own bike. The canvas tent was decorated nicely, with some cool lanterns and a wood burning stove. There was a battery powered fan, that lasted most of the night. The bed was comfortable for glamping. There’s a picnic table with a cooking station, and a charcoal grill. Plenty of cut firewood for the fire pit. There is a restroom, but it’s not a flush toilet, just a bucket toilet, but was nice to have while camping. This is a great spot, convenient to town, perfect for a relaxing weekend.

Whooping Crane Farm is located In such a great spot, just outside Nashville, it is easy to get to, but convenient to everything. The camp spot is fantastic! Right on the Cumberland River, the spot is very secluded, and plenty of space for a group. 

 I would recommend bringing camp chairs, in case you want to sit in a shady spot, or by the water. The site has a picnic table, grill, and solar shower, however I would bring a tarp for privacy if you actually plan to use it, as the river is a busy place in the summer, and the shower is in clear view from the water. 

  There is a pond on the property, which the host, Ellen, allowed us to fish in. The River would be difficult to access, at least while we were there in late August, as there is a big drop off from the bank. I’m not sure if this is normal, or if the water lever was low. 

  The“loo” is a pop up tent with a bucket toilet in it. It was equipped with poop bags and toilet paper. The glamping tent was awesome. The bed was very comfortable. 

  We had some heavy rains overnight, and did have some dripping water from the center seam of the tent and had to scoot the bed over, but other than that, I slept like a baby. We love this spot so much, we plan to return later in the fall!

The Narrows

The Narrows at Barren River Resort Park , Kentucky is a nice, well maintained campground. If you are a fisher person this is a campground for you. Within walking distance of the Marina, nice shaded sites and room to spread out. A cool feature in the sites is a fish cleaning table as well as fire ring and picnic table. Another nice feature is the campground is off the main road to the marina. Unfortunately there aren’t any hiking trails , however bike riding in the campground is an option and there’s an interesting sunken basketball court.

It’s an easy right off the interstate place. Plenty of TT friendly gas stations around it. Good for an overnight when passing though. My site was slightly uphill where I had to park to reach the water hookup. The water hookup is very close to the ground and leaked for me. Made it very hard to connect the hose and pressure regulator. Used all of my 25 foot hose to reach my connection. Good for a short overnight, but wouldn’t stay more than that.

This was a pleasant and easy  full service rv park to enjoy a day of peace off the road + great overnighter.  People were very nice and attentive with lots of RV manipulation help.  No Bluegrass when we were there in the spring.  Still this is a nice park to stay in on the way north.

Watch the approach since you could head into the truck stop - stay to the right and you will be ok.  I used the truck stop to fill up on the way out and it was OK. Dad's was a good stop for the night but our expectations were more than delivered since no bluegrass - even music would have been ok - so disappointed.

It is really easy in-out if you pay attention.  Enjoy.

Very nice Campground . Easy pull through seats, and shower and toilet facilities are very modern and clean. We didn’t find the highway noise to be too big of a deal.

Not all sites have picnic table. Creek is awesome. No shade. Great staff, clean bathrooms.

Make sure to ask about what breeds of dogs they allow. Couldn’t stay due to my German Shepherd mix. Really wanted to though. Gave it 4 stars for the set up. Cozy little place next to a creek.

Well maintained, beautiful setting. We had zero issues getting in and out but the hosts weren't available when we got there at 3. They left envelopes on the door with a map and receipt, so we got everything we needed to set up for the night.

Very good camp ground.good staff and very clean and quiet.

Nice peaceful camp ground. Clean and we'll maintained. Can hear some road noise but generally quiet. The creek is nice and calm. Smaller area for tents but looks like the RV side was much larger.

Just stayed a night passing thru but wonderful little peaceful spot. Only about 3 miles from the hwy so quick in and out. Clean bathrooms. Hear a little bit of highway noise but the beauty and peace far outweighed that.

Very nice place!

Clean, well kept KOA. Friendly staff & convenient location. We fished in the pond & enjoyed breakfast with some feathered friends. Surprisingly quiet even though it’s close to the highway. Will stay here again if we’re in the area.

Overall the sites were nice, but our site wasn’t exactly level. We were just spending one night and arrived late. In the morning our looped cleared out early. I assume they put the one-nighters all together in loop D. The pool was not opened, in fact it was empty. And the cable TV service was removed. The WiFi worked.

The cabins looked nice from the outside.

This was a nice KOA, but some sites were small with all sites having very small fire pits made from only old tire wheels. This KOA has a pool, fishing, putt putt, dump station, general store, cabins, a little run down restroom/bath houses, kids play scape, large chess board, and a dog park. This KOA was about 20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park and the National Corvette Museum. Both are worth the trip to.

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.

Nice campground in a good location. Some things were a little out dated but everything looked well kept.
