    Elm Hill RV Resort

    Beautiful Campground

    We stopped here for a quick overnight stop on our way back home

    It is definetly a park that they are stacked in close and open sky’s with not a lot of shade

    Everything was very clean and in great working order

    Kids loved swimming in the pool

    The water around is clear and beautiful

    We had a very lovely sunset as we walked around park

    Poole Knobs

    Bottom of my COE campgrounds

    First of all, I love COE campgrounds. They are usually clean, scenic, and have lots of space between campsites. Poole Knobs has all of that, but the bathrooms were ridiculously hard to get to. If you get a site along the lake, expect a long walk and then an arduous climb to the bathroom and showers or hop in your vehicle and drive there. Whoever laid out the design of this campground had obviously ever camped.

    Nashville KOA Resort

    Walk to the Opry!

    The proximity to the Opry and surrounding sites is fantastic. Top that off with front desk, event and maintenance staff that were all super nice and you’ve got a great combo. Tidy sites, tons of them, something for everyone and then some. Paved roads the kids loved scootering on. Would definitely stay again

    Cedar Creek (TN)

    Close to Nashville

    Nice campground consisting of heavily wooded multiple wagon wheel style areas. Sites 1 thru 6 full sun, remainder of sites have partial to full shade. Tight fit for my 43’ motorhome, especially maneuvering dump station. Campground host take their job very seriously.

    Four Corners Resort and Marina

    Lakefront camping at its best!

    Four Corners RV resort is a fantastic find just 21 miles South of Nashville. We paid a weekly rate of $879 including taxes and fees for a back in waterfront site. We have fantastic water views from both sides of the coach. The pads are all concrete, wide sites, include a fire ring and picnic table. They have several fishing and boating docks. They have a dog park and a swimming beach with dog bath upon exiting the beach. They also have a nice adult pool and a large kiddie pool. They have a lot of Canadian Geese which are fun to watch but leave their droppings everywhere. The campground is very dog friendly with a lot of dog litter bags and trash cans throughout the campground. This campground is a great staging place for visiting numerous sites in Nashville. We like this campground and really have enjoyed the water views, we recommend this campground and will be back.

    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!
