      Bowling Green KOA

      Why would I pay that much?!

      My brother visits KOA’s all the time for camping. Me, not so much. I have a hard time paying $40 for a tent site when I can camp for free or under $20. The Bowling Green KOA, Ky is located on the outskirts of Bowling Green near the I65 and Natcher interchange. You can actually see the back end of the campground from the ramp that connects the two. My first thought when considering a stay.
      I spoke with two of the very friendly and helpful ladies in the office and got a plethora of information. So much so that I’m sure I’ll forget some of it, but here goes;) So first with your fee you recieve (you and all your group) a free game of Minature Golf a day. Next there is wifi and cable available. There is a swimming pool on site and two pay lakes with paddle boats. A dog park and short trail. Depending on the month you visit there are also special incentives to stay an extra night. In May some of your fee is donated to Camp. With a KOA card there are special incentives too and you earn points with every stay. So, all that being said I did purchase a KOA card. Though this is not my favorite type of camping it will come in handy on an upcoming trip and when I camp with my brother ;) I was pleasantly surprised that the interstate noise was mostly not noticiple. There are plenty of trees that help block the noise and offer a lot of shade. We were in a busier site at the end of Abby Dr but it was an easy walk to the two small “lakes“( more like ponds ) and the dog park and showerhouse (with dogwash station) were a short walk away. Not much else to do but a fun enough spot for younger kids. ( no “bears“ to take photos with) and not as many special activities as some other theme campgrounds. This is a nice older campground, worth a night or two visit to get away from the grind for a bit.

      Bowling Green KOA

      Nice KOA

      This KOA was easy to find by following our GPS. We checked in about 45 minutes prior to their 1:00 PM check in time and they didn’t even mention us being early. We decided we didn’t need an escort to our site as it was near the office. We proceeded to deluxe-patio pull-through site H-4 with FHUs. The utilities were nicely placed in the middle of the pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. This site has plenty of shade as does most sites in the campground (CG) due to mature trees, so we did not put out Starlink. We got 4 bars LTE on Verizon and used our MiFi versus Starlink. Site H-4 has a utility box on the yard side, so we had extra space between the adjacent site. They have a decent sized dog park with an agility set up. This KOA has a lot of amenities and lives up to a Holiday KOA rating. The dog park is a nice size. They have a decent laundry room behind the office with 4 washers and 8 dryers. It’s$2.50 to wash and$1.50 to dry. They have 2 fishing ponds. The large one you can keep 2 fish for$20 and the small one is catch and release. There’s some traffic noise from I-65 and surrounding roads. Our main reason to visit the area was to visit the National Corvette Museum. We enjoyed our two night stay.

      Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

      Fun, clean, quiet

      This campground was very convenient for those visiting the Nashville area, its just off the highway and they offer shuttles for a fee to downtown and opryland. The check in process was quick and simple, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Our campsite was easy to find and very clean. The shower house was one of the best I've seen mostly because it is air conditioned. The showers are all very private and clean with plenty of room. The waterpark is just steps away, I would suggest not eating food within the park it is over priced and not very tasty, go to the marina restaurant or eat at your campsite. They have a dog park to exercise your dogs and you can't beat the views. I would recommend this campground.

      Nashville KOA Resort

      Good campground, close to everything

      Site wasnt great and had to level rig a bit. Patio was small and not well kept. Cable and Wi-Fi were great. Amenities also nice. Dog park and laundry were very small. Shuttle to downtown very convenient. Very expensive for gravel site with small patio. Staff all seemed friendly.

      Four Corners Resort and Marina

      Lakefront camping at its best!

      Four Corners RV resort is a fantastic find just 21 miles South of Nashville. We paid a weekly rate of $879 including taxes and fees for a back in waterfront site. We have fantastic water views from both sides of the coach. The pads are all concrete, wide sites, include a fire ring and picnic table. They have several fishing and boating docks. They have a dog park and a swimming beach with dog bath upon exiting the beach. They also have a nice adult pool and a large kiddie pool. They have a lot of Canadian Geese which are fun to watch but leave their droppings everywhere. The campground is very dog friendly with a lot of dog litter bags and trash cans throughout the campground. This campground is a great staging place for visiting numerous sites in Nashville. We like this campground and really have enjoyed the water views, we recommend this campground and will be back.

      Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

      Awesome for families

      This place is great! There is a lake with all sorts of water craft to rent. There is a high water park as part of the complex (separate fee). All sites have full hookups including cable. All roads are paved. All sites are level. There is even a dog park so your 4 legged family members can run free too.

      Nashville KOA Resort

      Just as good the second time through

      This was our second time staying here during the pandemic. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and all employees were masked when indoors. We decided to try a back-in spot (R12) along the wall that separates the KOA from the RV campground next door. Nice and quiet, adequate shade during the day, and right next to the dog park! 5 bars of 5Ge on AT&T and the campground WiFi was good enough to get some work done.

      This is without a doubt one of the nicest KOA’s we’ve visited. We would absolutely stay here again.

    Guide to Adams

    Adams, Tennessee camping areas offer several pet-friendly options within 30 miles of town. The area sits at approximately 550 feet elevation in Montgomery County with terrain characterized by rolling hills and river valleys. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F between June and September, making water access important for campers with pets.

    What to Do

    Fishing opportunities: The Cumberland River at Lock A offers productive shoreline fishing. "Loved our camping experience by the water. Friendly staff and beautiful scenery. Bring the fishing poles!" notes Blake B. The area permits pets on leashes while fishing.

    Historic trails: Montgomery Bell State Park Campground features multiple trail options suitable for leashed pets. "We visited here with a church group because it is the founding place of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It is beautiful, peaceful and serene," says Alicia B. The historic church site adds cultural interest to pet walks.

    River watching: From riverside campsites, observe commercial traffic on the waterways. "It's pretty cool watching the big barges move up and down the river during the day, but at night it's a little loud," notes Guy M. about camping near the waterways. Pets should be monitored during barge passages as some may react to the engine noise.

    What Campers Like

    Clean facilities: Most pet-friendly campgrounds prioritize clean restrooms. "Bathrooms were very clean and showers had locking stall doors. Play area, pool and dog park," reports Diane P. about RJourney Clarksville RV Resort. Well-maintained bathroom facilities make extended stays with pets more comfortable.

    Easy access: Campgrounds near Adams offer convenient highway access. "This is an RV park, located right outside Clarksville, TN. on I-24, about half way between Nashville and Land Between the Lakes. The grounds were clean and the sites were level," says Joel R. This accessibility makes travel with pets less stressful.

    River access: Water features provide natural cooling for pets. "Nice peaceful camp ground. Clean and well maintained. Can hear some road noise but generally quiet. The creek is nice and calm," Nicholas H. mentions about Spring Creek Campground. Creek access allows pets supervised cooling opportunities during hot months.

    What You Should Know

    Breed restrictions: Some campgrounds limit certain dog breeds. "Make sure to ask about what breeds of dogs they allow. Couldn't stay due to my German Shepherd mix. Really wanted to though," advises Brandy W. Always call ahead to confirm pet policies before booking.

    Leash requirements: All campgrounds require pets remain leashed when outside camping units. Most specify 6-foot maximum leash length and prohibit tie-outs or extended leads. Owners must maintain control of pets at all times.

    Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some camping areas. "For a KOA in town it is ok, the spots are close together, had a back in site which as described was close to a creek, but no mention of the highway right behind the creek," notes Olaf I. about Nashville North. Noise-sensitive pets may need indoor accommodation during high traffic hours.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Riverside activities: Look for campgrounds with water access for combined pet and family enjoyment. "This campground offers almost all pull through sites, with a few being 100 feet long. Nice pool area with a community fire pit, and cool playground," Lisa S. comments. These features keep both children and pets entertained.

    Morning wildlife viewing: Dawn offers wildlife observation opportunities. "Absolutely beautiful mornings with the fog over the water to look at while you sip your coffee," recommends Rona S. about Harpeth River Bridge Campground. Early morning walks provide pet exercise while families observe deer and water birds.

    Shade considerations: Summer heat requires shade planning for families with pets. "Several visits, all perfect," states Robert T. about camping experiences. Campgrounds with mature trees provide natural cooling for pets and children during summer months.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategy: Choose sites away from noise sources when traveling with pets. "Request a site as far as possible from the road," suggests Kerry M. Interior campground sites generally provide quieter environments for noise-sensitive animals.

    Water pressure awareness: Many campgrounds maintain high water pressure. "Adequate power and water pressure," James R. confirms. When washing pets at your campsite, check pressure before spraying animals to avoid startling them.

    Timing considerations: For pet-friendly camping near Adams, Tennessee, early fall offers ideal conditions. Temperatures moderate to 70-85°F daytime with reduced humidity. This climate provides comfortable conditions for outdoor activities with pets without summer heat concerns.
