    Campers RV Park

    Clean, Family Friendly Park.

    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.

    Pro’s: The back-in and full time sites have ample space for those looking for a longer stay, but the pull through a usually aren’t full so they provide decent space as well. Activities everywhere! There are pavilions and out buildings setup with games, hammocks, and all kinds of fun family-friendly things to see and do.

    Cons: The grounds were “under construction” while we were there so there was occasionally some tractor/dozer noise. Some sites were unavailable due to them being revamped.

    Collectively it was a very good experience. The staff was very friendly, and even put us in a nice long term stay when there was a booking error, so we ended up with a huge spot near the creek. I only take off a star due to spacing of the sites, but I would stay here again.

    Grand Ole RV Resort & Market

    Peaceful, Well-Run RV Park with Great Location

    We really enjoyed our stay at The Grand O RV Resort! The staff was super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. 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.

    The campground had a small store with supplies, a restaurant with a menu available (though we cooked our own food), and live music each night while we were there during the summer — a nice touch! There’s a train that passes by on the nearby track a couple of times a day, but it was never super early or late and didn’t bother us at all.

    We stayed in the center of the park, which didn’t have much shade, but the outer edge sites seemed more wooded. The roads and campsites are made of small pebbles, which made it easy to drive and back in. It was overall very quiet, and the location is great — just off the interstate, about 10 miles north of Nashville, and roughly 45 minutes from Bowling Green. We visited the National Corvette Museum and Lost River Cave while we were there.

    Our site had full hookups (water, sewer, and electric). The bathhouse was clean, air-conditioned, and accessed with a key code — two toilet stalls and three showers for women, all very well maintained. We didn’t use the laundry facility (if there was one), but the Wi-Fi was decent, and T-Mobile cell service worked well, even for using our hotspot. It’s a pet-friendly park (though we didn’t bring pets), and while there’s no pool or playground, there were some nice wooden swings to enjoy.

    They also have firewood for sale and a propane filling station on site. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend The Grand O to anyone looking for a quiet, clean, and well-located RV park near Nashville!

    Nashville KOA Resort

    Nashville KOA is a great place to stay when visiting the Music City.

    The campground has a variety of sites from deluxe paved pull through with patios to back-in full hookups to tent sites. We stayed in the back-in sites side of the campground. The sites were close together(but not on-top of each other) and many were long enough to handle most average sized rigs. These sites were gravel with grass between, which was well maintained. 50& 30 amp service available. Very flat with minimal leveling needed. The wifi was spotty when the campground was full on the weekends. 

    The bathhouses have individual shower access with separate toilet facilities. These were clean and well maintained. The entire campground was very well maintained and landscaped beautifully, which created a welcoming feeling. 

    There are numerous amenities: pool, hot tub, playground, pickle ball, corn hole, etc. Live music is offered at the pool area a couple nights a week in addition to movies. The camp store is small, with limited selection, but it is attached to a nice size indoor rec room and restaurant/snack bar. A Camping World Store is also right next door to the campground, which is very convenient. 

    A shuttle service is offered daily from 10:00AM-1:30AM between the KOA and downtown Nashville at the Country Music Hall of Fame. The cost is$10 round trip per person. The staff were very friendly and willing to help with any issues and questions. We enjoyed our stay and found the price($68) reasonable for the great location and amenities offered.

    Tanbark Campground

    Very Nice Overnight Stay

    We stayed one night. It was very nice. Cash or check only. Veteran and other discounts. Inexpensive. Check in after 12:00 Check out 11:00. Pull through full hookup 30/50A service. Fast friendly check in. Some sites gravel, some asphalt. Older building for restrooms and laundry, but meticulously maintained. Level enough that I didn't unhook, just lowered jacks for stabilization. I don't see where the complaints about space come from. All of the tight spaces are taken by full time residents. We had more than enough room for a 36' 5th wheel with 3 slideouts, a cargo carrier on the back, tow vehicle (which I didn't have to unhook) and a second vehicle. We could have fit another car if needed. The person behind us parked his truck between his rig and ours. In front was a fire ring on a 12' wide patch of grass. There are full time residents here, but most of the rigs look a lot nicer than other places we've seen. Beautiful area. Was surprised how low the road noise is being so close to an interstate. We wouldn't even hear it if our door was shut. Very quiet. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for recognizing veterans and offering a discount.

    Elm Hill RV Resort

    Beautiful location

    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. Most sites are back in but there are a few pull through. Each site has all hook ups and are very well maintained. The sites are close together but not uncomfortable. There is a camp store at the main office. The pool is very nice and there are games, a playground and a pavilion. There was a band there during my stay. Activities planned throughout the month. It is more expensive than most but the quality of the site is worth it.

    Two Rivers Campground

    Nice RV park for visiting Nashville

    Helpful staff, gravel level sites with concrete pads that have picnic tables on them. Full hook ups. There is a private bus the staff will call that will come pick you up and take you to downtown and return for $10.00. I took the bus because parking is more expensive than the bus fee. I didn’t use the laundry or showers but they looked nice and clean. Great place to stay while visiting Nashville. They had live bands every night out by the pool area while we were here. Nice place for a private park. I would stay again. Camping world is right next door if you need anything. Back in and pull through sites.

    Two Rivers Campground

    Great CG in Nashville

    We spent two nights here (May 24-26, 2022). This is a nice, easy access CG with level pull through and back-in gravel sites in Nashville. It is located within a loop of the Cumberland River, between two RV dealer/repair facilities and surrounded by two RV CGs- it’s a busy area. There are a number of activities available: live music, swimming pool, recreation hall, playground and dog park. We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. It is a great base camp to visit the Nashville (Grand Ole Opry) area. The WiFi was great as was cell phone reception. The cable TV worked well. We would stay here again.

    Nashville North

    City Outskirts campground

    Nice little spot, freeway right behind the park and can hear cars all day/night. 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. Overall the facility it self is up-kept and clean. Good place for short term but look for better long term options.

    Four Corners Resort and Marina

    First Official Campsite

    This was our first official campsite. We were here from December to March. Reservations were easy to make. Check-in was a breeze. The ladies at the front desk are super kind. The maintenance people were caring and considerate.

    There is a laundry area and a bathhouse. There were 2 smaller washers and one big washer. The big washer didn't work while we were there, which would have been more convenient. There were 2 regular dryers and one large gas dryer, which was amazing and could dry everything in 20 minutes.

    The bathhouse is warm and roomy. There were only 2 stalls and 2 showers, but the showers had enough space that you weren't getting dressed in the same space.

    There is a pool and a hot tub, but since we were there in the winter months, we didn't use those. Next to that, they had a big chess game, which my kids were able to play on warmer days.

    There is a small little park area that my kids were able to enjoy during the warmer days.

    The lots themselves are all the same size, except the pull through lot. There is enough space between neighbors to have a small yard with the fire pit. There is a nice picnic table on each site.

    We had a nice view of the water to wake up to. The docks were accessible. The beach was accessible.

    We had family come and stay in one of the glampers, and it was clean and maintained. We really enjoyed visiting them there.

    We talked to a lot of other campers, and they ranged from weekly to long-term stays. So we were able to get more information about that, too.

    They have free wifi, but we didn't use it much since we have our own.

    Definitely recommend staying here!


Guide to Dickson

Percy Priest Lake and the Cumberland River basin shape the camping experience around Dickson, Tennessee. Most RV parks near Dickson sit between 450-650 feet elevation with summer temperatures typically ranging from 65-90°F. The area's limestone geology creates distinctive water clarity in local waterways, particularly noted at riverside camping areas where swimming spots feature visible rocky bottoms in depths up to 4 feet.

What to do

Water recreation opportunities: At Piney River Resort, visitors have direct access to the clear Piney River. "We enjoyed daily time sitting by the river while our kids play and swim," says one camper. The swimming hole allows cliff jumping for the adventurous, with another visitor noting, "We loved watching the younger crowd jump off the cliff into the water."

Fishing access: Fishing spots available within short walking distance at most area campgrounds. "Crystal clear and cold" water conditions as described by one visitor create good visibility for spotting fish, particularly in the mornings and evenings when lake traffic is reduced.

Nashville excursions: Several campgrounds provide shuttle services into Nashville for those wanting urban activities. A visitor at Nashville North mentioned, "We used their shuttle service into Nashville. There is a lot of traffic noise, but that didn't bother us as it may others."

What campers like

Waterfront positioning: Campers consistently rate waterfront sites highest for their views and direct water access. A visitor at Elm Hill RV Resort noted, "Most sites are waterfront and have great sunrise views. The sites are level and have nice firepits."

Evening entertainment: Live music features at several campgrounds during peak season. "Live music every night was nice," reported one visitor at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market, while another added, "The entertainment for NYE was seriously the most fun we've had out in a while. Nothing says Nashville like live country music!"

Site assistance: Staff help with parking and setup impressed many first-time visitors. "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," noted one camper, reflecting a common practice at several parks around Dickson.

What you should know

Site drainage concerns: Heavy rainfall can affect some camping areas. One visitor mentioned, "While our site was level, it does get a bit of flooding when it rains."

Railroad proximity: Train noise affects several parks in the region. A camper at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market reported, "Only downfall are the trains that operate 24/7 directly adjacent to the grounds. Trains rolling by at 3 am is not how I spend my night."

Cell service variability: Reception quality varies significantly across the region. At Thousand Trails Natchez Trace, a visitor reported, "I had absolutely no cell service through Verizon and my T-Mobile 5g internet had no reception either (even with a booster). Luckily, I was able to rely on my Starlink."

Bridge clearance issues: Some access roads have low clearance bridges. A reviewer warned, "Most importantly, there is a special way to get into this park. They have a low bridge right outside of their park that prevents you from getting here the easy way. The bridge is at 12ft if I remember correctly, it is too low for most 5th wheels and many class As."

Tips for camping with families

Playground availability: Some campgrounds advertise playgrounds that are minimal. "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," reported one family at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market.

Kid-friendly water areas: Shallow entry points work best for families with small children. "Our girls enjoyed swimming, fishing, and kayaking," noted a visitor at Piney River Resort, adding it had "very peaceful campground right on the river!"

Management attitudes: Some parks cater more to adults than families. A parent staying at Four Corners RV Resort shared, "Bill doesn't like kids. He would prefer the camp to be 55+. Bill didn't like kids playing on the 'adult lounge swings'."

Tips from RVers

Site length verification: Some campgrounds list approximate measurements. "Be very cautious of the site lengths. Some are extremely short and I'd say the measurements are nearly exact. Since our site backed up to a drop off, there was a small fence so no way to 'hang over' the pad a little for extra room," advised one RVer.

Access road challenges: Approach routes can be challenging for larger rigs. A visitor to Piney River Resort cautioned, "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."

Traffic flow limitations: Site arrangement affects movement during busy periods. "The sites are very tight too. As mentioned above they are staggered so you still have the view, but it is pretty tight backing in. Also notable is when you are backing in you're blocking the entire road. The road is one way and there's not enough room to get around anyone. Makes for some traffic back ups during check in and check out."
