What you should know
Seasonal operation: Water park restrictions at Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort. "It was very quiet because nothing was open during the week. We stayed Sun to Thurs water park is only open on the weekend. The lake is very pretty but it's just to look at unless you want to drop a fortune to rent a jet ski or boat," advises Mary P.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some locations. "Sites are very close together. Not much room between my RV and neighbor. The website shows a creek but it's more of a storm water runoff. Noisy due to the highway that is very close. Great sounds of the trucks to keep you awake," warns Mickey C. about Nashville North KOA.
Uneven terrain: Site leveling challenges exist at some parks. "Only reason I don't give campground a 5 is due to the very sloped sites. Most are very difficult to level up," states John R. about Pennyrile Forest State Park. When booking cabin accommodations, confirm exact location and accessibility.

Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose riverside locations at Nashville RV and Cabins Resort. "Sites were large with awesome pool and play areas for kiddos," explains Steven F. Cabins at riverside locations often cost more but provide direct water access.
Logistics: Military discounts available at Eagle's Rest Army Travel Camp. "A first come first serve spot. Need to have your camper in the actual spot before paying (different). The two sites we chose were large enough to have the truck, motorcycle, and even the boat if we brought it," advises Anthony.

We stayed for a week and enjoyed ourselves," shares Scott C. Off-season cabin rentals often cost significantly less than peak summer rates.
