4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Erin, Tennessee, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Elk Harbor Lakeside Campground in Cumberland City provides 50 full hookup sites with both 30 and 50 amp electrical service, operating year-round with big rig accessibility. RJourney Clarksville RV Resort features 67 sites with full hookups, pull-through access, and amenities like a pool and laundry facilities. Eagles Nest RV Park in Buchanan stands out with concrete pads and patios at each site, earning high ratings from visitors. "Eagle's Nest RV Park is a little slice of heaven located just 1500 feet from Kentucky Lake with plenty of space between RVs. Each pad is concrete and has its own patio and plenty of shade trees," notes one regular visitor.
Access roads to some parks require careful navigation, particularly for larger rigs. Piney River Resort warns travelers to follow their specific directions rather than GPS, as the final approach includes "an 8 mile hilly and windy road that turned into dirt halfway through with lots of potholes." Cell service varies significantly across the region, with most parks reporting 2-4 bars on major carriers. All RV campgrounds in the area accommodate pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Dump stations are available at most locations, with Birmingham Point Campground offering this service seasonally from March 15 through November 15. Interstate noise affects some parks, particularly those near I-24, where one camper reported that "the interstate noise is magnified and I-24 was busy all night during our stay." Propane fills and basic supplies are available at select locations, with Southern Comfort RV Park providing free WiFi among its amenities.

"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."

GuideCampground hosts were fabulous, but the core part of it. The people at the core were very belligerent didn't want to help out. The roads were really narrow. Big ditches couldn't get into the sights that they said you could the real some of the sites are deep, but the roads are so narrow, you can't cut your vehicle into it. A lot of problems with that out here at this place
TravelerStarted at Gatlin Point. Moved because wanted something closer to the water.
Spacious spots give plenty of privacy. Was very quiet (12th). Facilities clean.
T-Mobile sometimes spotty but had coverage most of the time.
GuideBeautiful camp area. The tent camp loop was closed so I stayed in the full hook up area. Did not need electricity or water but the great washroom had flush toilets and showers. Very clean. Camp host was wonderful. It says it’s just off I40 but the camping area was more like 7 or 8 miles in. Perfect for no road noise. The lake is wonderful. Great walking around the area.
ScoutNeeded a place right off the interstate. Very nice, clean and family friend. Will keep this place in mind when traveling again!
GuideGPS was wrong and we had to loop back to exit 137. Then it dies at the stop sign so take a left up to the big sign and make a right. Then you are at the right spot. Verizon phone signal is 1-2 bars max. Does have a place to ride bikes, grill, picnic tables and coded bathrooms. Small compared to some of the others but it’s quiet and off the highway which is what we wanted
TravelerThe pricing policy is complicated for long term they require $25 each person for background checks. The sites in the back are pretty tight and mostly long term. They do have nice sites near the office. They are pull through.
TravelerCute little spot hidden about 5 min off of i40. Just need to call ahead and they’ll ask what time you plan on arriving. Seems to be a husband and wife that uses their land as a little campground. Mostly gravel, lots of trees for shade. Does seem to be one or two long term campers but very quiet and quaint. Water and power hook ups. I didn’t hook up as I just camp in my van(:
ScoutI live within an hour of this campground, and saw a one night opening with good weather, so trying it out. Every site is level concrete, and has a view of the river. Each site (15 total) has power and water. One dump station in campground. Bath house is good and clean. Best part, with my American the beautiful pass, its only $11 night.
ScoutTHEY WILL STATE YOU DIDN'T STAY HERE IF YOU LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW! The river is beautiful along with all the wildlife.(Wild turkeys, cows, horses, deer, donkeys and goats) Pizza and cookies at the store are fantastic. The girls work very hard in the office and are always cheerful and helpful. Location gets a 3 only because it's really in the middle of nowhere. Not necessarily a bad thing! Now for the actual bad. I lived here over a year and things changed so much and its the main reason we just left. Incessant dog barking with no consequences. Way too much dog feces in the park which could so easily be fixed with a cheap camera and lights. Suppose to be gun and drug free. Neither are even close to true. Rules are not enforced at all! Needs new management. When you make a special trip to the office to inform management that there is water pouring out of bottom of rv that the people aren't there and it takes 7 hours for them to walk over and shut the water off?? And these was damage to rv. Fact! Loose dogs running around scaring guests, ripping into garbage, bothering guests kids and dogs. 10 year rule? 20 year rule? Freezers outside campers? This place could be a 5 star with better management and not a family running it like it's their own property. No Christmas or Halloween decorations? Lastly there's a bad review left a few months ago that I was accused of leaving called into the office and ordered to remove by management

Most of the people there appeared to be permanent, or semi-permanent. The shower and bathroom was clean," mentions a camper at RJourney Clarksville RV Resort.
