3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks within 30 miles of Burns accommodate large motorhomes with full hookup options. Piney River Resort provides 114 sites with electric, water, and sewer connections on paved pads near the river. Nashville North KOA offers 95 year-round sites with 50-amp service and pull-through options for larger rigs. "The sites were close together (but not on-top of each other) and many were long enough to handle most average sized rigs," noted one visitor about the Nashville area KOA. Campers RV Park features pull-through sites with gravel pads and grass between sites, accommodating big rigs with multiple slideouts while providing full hookups.
Road access varies significantly between campgrounds, with several reviewers mentioning challenging routes to certain locations. One camper warned about Piney River Resort: "The 'rv friendly directions' included an 8 mile hilly and windy road that turned into dirt halfway through with LOTS of potholes, quick turns, and SKINNY roadways." Most parks offer 30/50-amp electrical connections, though availability depends on specific sites. Cellular service ranges from excellent near interstate-adjacent parks to spotty at more remote locations, with Nashville North showing inconsistent WiFi performance according to reviews. Dump stations are available at most locations, and many parks include amenities like propane filling stations, dog parks, and laundry facilities. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak season and for weekend stays.
"I have a large motorhome and pulling a long enclosed trailer."
"The main campground is typical for RV resorts, sites pretty close together and in the open, but the sites along the river, where we were(site 1), all have concrete pads, are reasonably spaced and right"
from $69 - $95 / night
"Nashville North KOA is a well developed park with large level sites. It has conveinient access to I65 and Highway 31W. They have 30/50amp full service hookups and Cabins."
"Not super impressed with the grounds and the noise level, but everything else is great. The highway is really noisy, and the spot we got was full of really harsh gravel and rocks."
"They will escort you, but we easily proceeded by ourselves to pull through site 42 with FHUs. Site 42 is one of the CG’s favorite sites as its on the end of a row nearest the interstate."
"This park is made with the RVer in mind. All sites are pull through and not too close with tree coverage and greenery."
from $49 - $75 / night
"We stayed in the center of the park, which didn’t have much shade, but the outer edge sites seemed more wooded."
"The Grand Ole RV Resort is a nice park to stay in near all the fun and sightseeing of Nashville, Tennessee. The campground is very tidy and well-kept."
"This park is located on a peninsula on a lake close to Nashville. Almost every site has a view of the water on flat concrete big pads. Some sites, on higher land, are mostly long term residents."
"Sitting in a lake, the campground is a peninsula surrounded by water. Great views, super clean and very nice amenities. Saturday night they had a band and a Halloween celebration. Very safe."
"Full hook ups. Senior discount. Will handle tents to big rigs. Beautiful lake view. Friendly people. Bath house nice and clean. Long nice drive back to campground cell services very weak."
"Has dog park and swimming pool and beach area ! Has laundry rooms and bath n shower houses heck ya !"
"Has shuttle service to downtown for 10.00 great price. Very friendly staff."
"There’s no WOW to this RV park, but the people are nice and it provides a quiet and convenient location to stay in Nashville."
"We stayed here twice as our first stops leaving “home” when we started full-timing this summer. Both stays were quite, with plenty of things to explore around the property."
"Very close to the freeway. Great for overnight or extended stay. Nice pull through sites."
"I’m hesitant to write this review because this is our new close-to-home GO-TO camping spot and we don’t want it to get booked up. 😆 It is new, quiet, and extremely well-priced."
"Additionally, we were right next to one of the courtesy docks where our family members picked us up on their boat, enjoying the lake coves and scenery."
TravelerNow called Paradise Ridge. They have owned it for just over a year. There are 87 sites. Mostly long term parking but we got in for a night on our way out of Nashville. We paid $64.38 for one night. It was full hook up. Nice location from Nashville. Mail and UPS delivery. The only bummer is close to I-24. So if you can’t do some road noise you would not like it. The people that checked us in were very nice and helpful.
LegendWe followed RV Life Trip Wizard GPS and Waze off I-40 to Nashville Shores RV Resort without any issues. Check-in was quick, easy, and informative, and we headed to back-in site 7 with full hookups (FHUs). The concrete pad was level, with the water hookup located at the very back of the site. Water pressure was good at around 60 psi but dropped somewhat as the campground (CG) filled up over the weekend. We had 3 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile, with T-Mobile providing a respectable 108 Mbps download. We used our T-Mobile Home Internet, which delivered 126 Mbps, rather than Starlink. Although there were trees along the CG's perimeter, most sites appeared to have a reasonably clear view of the sky for satellite internet. Site spacing was okay, although neighboring RVs were still fairly close. Several sites were located along the lake, with a few appearing long enough to accommodate larger rigs. We suggest calling the office for details on reserving one of those waterfront sites. One of our favorite amenities was the large fenced dog run, with plenty of room to throw a ball and let our pup burn off some energy. We also appreciated having two fire pits at our site. One was behind our rig, providing a nice spot away from the CG road, while the other was near the front, next to a small concrete patio with a picnic table. Although the CG filled up during our mid-October weekend stay, the adjacent water park had closed for the season on October 1. Without the water park crowds and activity, we found Nashville Shores to be a very enjoyable place to stay."
GuideI liked this NPS free campground on the Natchez Trace. It is convenient to the Nashville Area and accessible by other nice highways, not just the Trace. The town of Hohenwald is just a couple of miles away.
There were many camping people on a Friday night in October from strictly tenters to fancy busses and everything in between (motorcycles, truck campers, suv campers, car campers etc). Everyone was respectful of others and quiet at night.
The grounds have lots of mature trees and the pads are in pretty good condition and fairly level. There are pull-throughs and back-ins. There is a central restroom, which I did not use.
ScoutThe bathrooms have Flushing toilets. No showers. No electrical hookups. A mix of tent camping and RV's. No fees. 14-day limit. Nice place to stay and rest.
GuideWe had such a nice stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and welcomed. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and the whole campground had a really nice, relaxed feel to it.
Our site was spacious and easy to get into, and we really appreciated how clean and well cared for everything was. After spending the day exploring Nashville, it was nice to come back to the campground, slow down and just enjoy the evening.
The location worked out great for us too. We were close enough to enjoy everything Nashville has to offer, but when we came back to the RV, it felt like we could get away from all the activity and relax.
One of the things we enjoy about RV travel is finding places that you actually look forward to coming back to at the end of the day, and this was definitely one of those places. We made some great memories here and would absolutely stay again the next time we’re in Nashville!
TravelerWe came here for our shake out of our new trailer as it’s only about 20 min from home and we could still go to work. We will probably come back when we just want to “get out of the house” for a few days.
The place is beautiful and if you want to be in the middle of nowhere, this is it! The grounds are easily walkable with a lot of open spaces. Saw a lot of wildlife so come in slow so you don’t hit a deer.
Do NOT come in from South Mount Juliet road. The turn onto Couchville Pike is tight for cars, let alone pulling a camper. Come in off of I-840 and you will be fine.
We got decent wifi and I did a video call without lag. Full hookups (50amp)
No on site staff that we saw other than grounds crew.
TravelerI called today (a week and a half in advance) for a reservation that I had booked recently. Our driving plans changed and I wanted to cancel and receive a refund. I was informed they have a 14 day policy. Apparently it is their policy, nothing was emailed or texted to me or verbally given. However if I don’t “ask,” it is apparently my problem. Okay touché. And well I realize this may be their policy, 14 days is ridiculous. They offered me a “camp credit and it’s good for 1 year.” 🤣😮💨 I told her we live in Arizona. And she says “okay.” Not even effort for a partial refund. Beware of the terrible customer service. This is completely unprofessional.
TravelerOnly here for an overnight but would definitely recommend. Huge sites. Very quiet. Clean campground. Host was very friendly.
TravelerReserved spot #19 for 1 night. The stay was very peaceful with friendly staff! The site itself was a bit rocky but that should be expected for primitive. A firepit and grill was provided with a less than 20 ft walk to the water through the trees. Would definitely book again for the price and convenience!!🤙

Helpful check-in processes: Campers RV Park emphasizes efficient arrivals. "The staff were very friendly and directed us to our site via golf cart. The sites were large and level," notes one reviewer about their check-in experience.

Cell service varies significantly: Connectivity depends heavily on specific location.

Road access challenges: Some campgrounds require navigating difficult routes. A Piney River Resort visitor warned, "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."
Highway noise considerations: Several sites near interstate highways experience traffic noise. At Nashville North KOA, a camper observed, "Noisy due to the highway that is very close. Great sounds of the trucks to keep you awake."
Playground availability: Nashville RV and Cabins Resort offers dedicated play areas. "Sites were large with awesome pool and play areas for kiddos," reports one family who stayed there. Additional recreation areas include volleyball courts and outdoor games.
Swimming options: Water access varies significantly between parks. At Piney River Resort, "We sat in beach chairs and let the current wash over us. The swimming hole was great! We loved watching the younger crowd jump off the cliff into the water."
Bug protection essential: Bring strong insect repellent, particularly for lakefront sites. "MOSQUITOS! The first and last night we stayed the mosquitos were so bad we couldn't be outside," warned a Four Corners RV Resort visitor during summer months.
Site length accuracy: Check measurements carefully before booking. At Elm Hill RV Resort, "Be very cautious of the site lengths. Some are extremely short and I'd say the measurements are nearly exact... It was exactly the length we needed with nearly zero wiggle room."
