Ashland City camping options encompass a variety of terrain types from riverfront locations to wooded settings. Most campgrounds in this region sit within 30 miles of Nashville, providing access to urban amenities while maintaining rural camping experiences. Summer temperatures typically reach 90°F with high humidity, while spring and fall camping offer milder conditions with daytime highs in the 70s.
What to do
Water activities at Percy Priest Lake: Four Corners RV Resort offers direct water access. "We rented the pontoon and enjoyed the beautiful lake. Highly recommend bringing bug spray for your RV because at night they are all over the door and walls," notes one visitor at Four Corners RV Resort.
Live entertainment options: Several campgrounds feature regular musical performances. "Live music every night was nice. Backing my trailer is not my strong suite but the guided me through it like it was nothing," reports a camper at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market.
Fishing opportunities: Local waterways provide various fishing options. "Very peaceful campground right on the river! Staff was very helpful. We stayed at a site with a pavilion right on the river and it was great! Our girls enjoyed swimming, fishing, and kayaking," shares a visitor at Piney River Resort.
What campers like
Concrete pads at waterfront sites: Several campgrounds offer solid, level sites with water views. "Most sites are waterfront and have great sunrise views. The sites are level and have nice firepits," notes a visitor about Elm Hill RV Resort.
Helpful arrival assistance: Staff at many campgrounds provide parking guidance. "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," writes a camper from Grand Ole RV Resort.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds maintain well-kept common areas. "Comfortable campsite. Adequate power and water pressure. Swimming pool was very busy and well maintained. Level gravel sites and bath house very clean," reports a visitor at Nashville North KOA.
What you should know
Highway noise levels vary: Proximity to interstates affects sound levels. "It did not matter as this CG has the most interstate noise of any we've stayed," mentions a visitor at Clarksville RV Resort by Rjourney.
Site spacing considerations: Density varies between campgrounds and specific site locations. "We were on the river side. Spaces are nicely spaced. Views are perfect. Staff is very nice. The non river side is the same as most rv spots," explains a guest at Piney River Resort.
Mosquito populations: Waterfront locations often have insect challenges. "The only 2 things that need improvement are the beach area, possibly some more sand, and extending the swimming boundary. Rocky Bottom must wear water shoes," notes a Four Corners RV Resort camper.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access varies: Check amenity listings carefully. "They show a playset on their map and it was two regular swings and a baby swing. This was disappointing since we had little ones," cautions a visitor at Grand Ole RV Resort.
Kid-friendly swimming areas: Look for campgrounds with swimming options. "From the second we pulled in we had nothing but great vibes. The amenities were top notch and tons to do with kids," shares a camper at Four Corners RV Resort.
Child bike riding opportunities: Some campgrounds offer safe cycling space. "This was a nice spot to stay by the water. Safe and friendly neighbors. Good place for kids to bike and play," writes a Four Corners RV Resort visitor.
Tips from RVers
Reservation timing recommendations: Book well in advance for peak periods. "Sites were large with awesome pool and play areas for kiddos," notes a camper at Nashville RV and Cabins Resort.
Navigation challenges: Some roads to campgrounds require careful driving. "Staff we talked to was very kind but the drive in from the highway was very scary on narrow, windy roads with dropoffs on the side. We took the staff recommended route in and Co-Pilot's route out and both were scary in our Class A towing a car hauler," warns a Piney River Resort visitor.
Cellular connectivity considerations: Signal strength varies significantly by location and carrier. "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," reports a Nashville North KOA camper.
