5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
RV campsites near Gallatin provide varying levels of service and amenities. Nashville North KOA offers 95 full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections available year-round. Grand Ole RV Resort & Market features level gravel sites with full hookups and is designed to accommodate large motorhomes. "Sites are very close together. Not much room between my RV and neighbor," noted one visitor about the Nashville North KOA's spacing. Elm Hill RV Resort (formerly Safe Harbor RV Resort) provides waterfront access on Percy Priest Lake with big-rig friendly spaces, though several reviews mention tight site spacing between neighboring RVs.
During summer months, reservations are strongly recommended as Nashville-area RV parks fill quickly with travelers visiting Music City attractions. Most campgrounds provide sanitary dump stations if sewer hookups aren't available at individual sites. Many parks accommodate pets with designated dog areas, though specific restrictions may apply. Full hookup sites typically include 50-amp electrical service, water connections, and sewer hookups. A recent review mentioned that "the campground requests that all trailers and RVs use blocks under their stabilizers and not lay down any outdoor rugs to protect the grass." For RVers needing supplies, several campgrounds feature on-site markets or are located near service centers, with Camping World situated adjacent to Two Rivers Campground.
"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."
"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."
from $50 - $70 / night
"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."
"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."
"It was a pull through spot close to the bathrooms. We were able to use just electrical hook up for the night to rest. It’s a few minutes off I-40 and lots of gas options close by."
"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."
"This is the upper echelon of RV camping; a true resort with amenities to match."
from $30 - $40 / night
"There are some donkeys at the neighbors next door that made my Rosie nervous with their noises but not even they could keep her from going outside to dig."
from $45 / night
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 stayed here overnight on the way to Gatlinburg and three nights on the way back. GPS and signage was good as getting to this COE was easy. Often you don’t know what you’re going to get at a COE i.e. tight roads, low hanging branches etc. This was not the case as the campground (CG) is big rig friendly. For the overnighter, we checked in at the gate and proceeded to back in site 50 with water and electric (50/30/20 AMP). We had no problem backing into site 50 which sits above the creek that runs through the side of the CG. The gravel pad was fairly level(didn’t need any blocks under tires) with a picnic table, fish cleaning station, fire pit and stand up bbq. For the three nights we were in back in site 37, which was along the fence side of the CG. Site 37 had the same picnic table, cleaning table, stand up bbq and fire pit. This site’s pad was plenty long enough so we could put our toy hauler patio down. For both sites we got 1 bar on both Verizon and T-Mobile. As there is no Wifi in this CG, we used starlink. Since our starlink antenna is not hard mounted, we were able to move the antenna around to get a good signal through the trees. We were surprised this COE didn’t sell firewood nor ice. We enjoyed walking our dog around and even did some fly fishing in the adjacent river. We thoroughly enjoyed this COE.
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."
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!!🤙
ScoutThe grounds are laid out along a loop. The first ten spaces are lake side and have water and power. The rest of the sites are less developed. There is a boat ramp. There is a toilet house in the rustic area and a shower house near the developed sites. There is a dump station. Suburban development along the access road provides convenient retail.
