I spent 8 nights here. Almost everyday some huge rig would pull up in front of what little view I had and block me out completely. I was lucky if I had a few daylight hours of a view of the sky and trees.Most people left early in the morning. Even for the thanksgiving week that was a lot of activity. And I would think that since I booked 8 nights up front they would put be some place quiet and secluded. I got just the opposite. Fuel stations and restaurants nearby. My experience with KOAs is turning into just a stream of places you should only sleep at and get F out.
Close to the marina it's a hard walk uphill both ways to the bathroom but they are very nice and well kept. Big open areas for children to play overall very good state park campground
Piney Campground is part of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. It is wildly popular among locals and travelers alike. Lots to do for kids - bike paths, basketball court, multiple playgrounds, etc. Beautiful views of Kentucky Lake/Tennessee River, nice campground store.
We stayed here in our tent. The lady who checked us in was exceptionally nice and the campsites were clean quiet and shady. The restrooms were spick and span. We would certainly stay here again.
For a State Park, Montgomery Bell is pretty great. We had a decent sized level site with large trees and a view to the creek. We walked a couple of the trails through the woods which were perfect after a long drive. The bathroom/showers were clean and the water was hot. A strong storm came up suddenly and the staff came by to check on every camper to make sure we were all inside and safe. After the storm passed, they came by again checking on every camper. The power went out for two hours, and the staff came by once more to keep us informed. The park is beautiful, but it's the super competent staff earned the excellent rating I gave this park.
Stayed here for a week and it was great. Plenty to do to keep you busy. Nice pool with retractable roof. Playset for kids. Full service marina with boat rentals. Golf cart rentals as well.
Campground is well marked and super friendly people. Fire pits at every spot.
We called from the road to get an overnight stop - the staff were super nice both on the phone and in person. When we arrived, the lady who checked us in gave me a coupon for the drive-in movie theater that was literally down the road. Normally, when we camp we arrive so late it’s impossible to take advantage of area attractions so we decided to go and can I tell you, it was awesome!!! The theater accommodated our camper and the food (cheese fries especially) at the snack stand was great. As far as the campground, our site was a bit hilly but we had a nice view of the lake and close proximity to the playground. My kids also enjoyed the pool. Solid place to overnight!
We’ve visited in our camper and have stayed in the tiny homes a couple times as well. PRR is very attentive with communication. They were super helpful when our plans went awry! PRR is working to make this beautiful space a wonderful place of connection for all ages.
Definitely follow their directions. Google Maps will take you to a road that is not meant for RV!
We had so much fun at Energy Lake Campground. We were only able to stay one night but it was the reset we needed. Our pups loved it too! Bathrooms were clean, electricity worked great and the view was STELLAR! Super easy check in and check out.
Something for everyone! Tent spots, RV spots, cabins, back country spots! Lots of recreation opportunities here too! The lakes are great!
The Piney River Resort is the prettiest RV resort in middle TN. Just go!
I love Loretta Lynn's! Lots of options for all types of camping. They have equestrian spots, RV spots, tent spots, and cabins for rent. Plus so much to do on the property! Can get busy on holiday weekends when the weather is nice or if they are doing any events there! Otherwise you can easily find a spot here!
My brother and eldest son camp and watch the AMA national motocross championship hosted by LL.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The campground is nestled around the Piney River amongst in the middle of the forest. The campgrounds have future expansion projects lined up to add additional sites, a pool, and a pet area. Do not rely on GPS and follow the directions in your reservation email for the safest route. Stock up on groceries, the nearest market is roughly 30 minutes away. Check out the winery's.
This MWR (morale welfare and recreation) campground located just outside of the South Gate of Fort Campbell is a convenient stay if you are visiting or working on fort campbell. It is not up-kept as well as it could be. They will mow the grass near the camping areas often but with bagless mowers that blow cut grass all over your stuff (like your hose and hookups.) the creek and bridges crossing them are falling apart and unsuitable for vehicle traffic. I have stayed near four different Army posts at RV parks and this one ranks the lowest.
Bathrooms are nice with code. The cost is low. Easy pull through parking.
First of all, clearly there are many great reviews listed for this business on Google, but it seems to be the majority are simply reviews on the kayak rental and floating experience or camping in tents and RVs. My review is specifically in regards to renting a cabin with them and the customer service(or lack there of) they portrayed when faced with my complaint. DO NOT STAY IN THEIR CABINS! Upon our arrival on Friday night, I pulled back the covers to replace with the blanket we brought and immediately noticed what appeared to be a dead bug. I began looking closer and pulling back the sheets. I found several different casings of a bug that per google could be bedbugs but could be another bug. I tried to not be paranoid. I decided to take photos along the way just in case. Keep in mind, there were 5 fitted sheets, and 2 mattress covers on this ONE bed. Why? It seemed like they were trying to cover up an issue in my opinion. I put a fitted sheet we brought over theirs and we used our blanket that night. We spent the next day on the river, and I will be clear and honest, the experience on the river is great and we have zero complaints. Upon returning to the cabin(this was cabin#1 by the way) I decided to lay down in the bed under our blanket. At this point, I already had a couple bumps on my upper arm that were itching terribly. I have a tattoo right there so I couldn’t really see the irritation, but it did itch really badly. I tried to tell myself it was mosquitoes from being on the river. Then, I saw another couple of bugs and the end result was we just could not sleep there another night with what we had seen and feared. We cleaned everything up and drove home late that night. I purposely left our luggage and the sheet and blanket in the vehicle that night. The next day(Sunday) I brought it all into the house and washed it and dried it on high heat. By Tuesday evening, I had several more bumps trickling down my arm in a line and by Saturday morning I woke up with bumps all the way down my hand, and a few sporadic ones on my leg, neck, and face. I went to the doctors that next Monday and they confirmed IT WAS BEDBUG BITES. They put me on a weeks worth of steroids after giving me a steroid shot in the office and gave me a medicated cream for the intense itching I was experiencing. I immediately called a pest control company and had 2 out within 3 days. Both companies confirmed the pictures I have are 100% BEDBUGS AND MY BITES ARE ABSOLUTELY BEDBUG BITES. I know these situations can get out of control quickly and the last thing I wanted was for my kids to go through this discomfort so I decided to reach out to Carol at Buffalo River Resort by email and very respectfully explain what happened and what’s come of it. I included pictures and followed up with the estimates I had gotten as well as the report from my doctor. We have 4 children in our home and just lost my mother-in-law unexpectedly and have faced unexpected financial challenges, so we are in no position to financially cover this issue, however, this is not something to be ignored. I received a response the next day(Tuesday) saying they are sorry and they will get this to the owner. I have followed up 3x since then and have not heard a word from them. We did, however, get the cost of our cabin refunded back to our credit card yesterday. I sent one last email this morning giving them until 2 PM to reach out to me and resolve this issue in the right way, which is to rid our home and family of this issue, not return what we paid for the cabin. There is a substantial price difference-$500 vs$2,000- which we can’t afford. We also cannot afford for this to trickle through our whole home and affect all 4 of our kids. One is already affected. The level of discomfort, irritation and lack of sleep I have had since this has been extreme. But the disappointment I feel from a“family owned” company handling theirselves this way is even more triggering to me. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE& DO NOT SLEEP IN THESE CABINS!! There are plenty of other places to float the Buffalo.
Large park with marina, tennis, boat rental, beaches and more. My spot was spacious and shaded.
The tent sites back onto I40 and are very loud. The ground is clay so, there are standing puddles in the rain around the camp. The tent pad does have drainage.
Lightning Bugs, Farmer's Markets, good food...oh my!
Site is level and by the creek. My GSD loved cooling off in the creek. I liked that our site had the fire pit in the gravel area of our site, some are outside. I wanted to touch on the to close reviews that had me worried. The sites are close but I didn’t feel that was an issue really. We didn’t feel cramped or like our neighbors were in our business. We will definitely come back.
I loved staying here!! Met some really nice people and went on a group kayaking trip with two rangers who were very nice and informative. Will definitely be back!
We had so much fun at Piney River Resort! The grounds were clean and well maintained. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Great river access and the water was clear and beautiful. We will be back soon for sure! It’s a little tricky to get to, but as long as you follow their directions and not your GPS you will be fine.
I love I can just to get on and find a new spot and it's another vacy
For my first time camping and first time at piney I felt as if I was at home and so friendly and the store was clean and the camping sites were absolutely beautiful and the general appearance was overall good
4.5 Rounded up. Restrooms and showers were clean. It was very active during one of the last weekends of the season. While quiet hours were observed, there was a lot of music, celebrating a Tennessee win with a golf cart parade and victorious choral singing of Rocky Top right up until 11pm. Beautiful lake views, good camp store and great amenities.
