What to do
Hiking trails access: Cedars of Lebanon State Park features unique cedar forest environments. "Cedars of Lebanon is a great State Park in middle TN for camping and for day hikes.

Tips from RVers
Proximity to Nashville: Nashville North KOA offers transportation options. "We used their shuttle service into Nashville," reports Brenda L., making city access easier without driving.

Extended stay options: Four Corners Resort and Marina accommodates longer cabin reservations. "We stayed from December to March. Reservations were easy to make. Check-in was a breeze," shares Nicholas F., noting "there is a laundry area and a bathhouse" with good amenities for extended stays.
