"Nashville north koa was a nice campground with a proximity to Nashville but away from the bustle. We stayed for a week and enjoyed ourselves."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It has conveinient access to I65 and Highway 31W. They have 30/50amp full service hookups and Cabins.
One of the coolest deals is the local winery deals while staying there."
"For restaurants and grocery runs, take I-65 South to exit 97. Of course, you have the Nashville scene, but check out Mansker’s Station for some rich history of true pioneer spirit."
"Highway noise is really bad but there’s not anything they can do about that. Close by restaurants and Camping World for any needed supplies."
"But given where they are located, crammed in with two other RV parks and a Camping World all next to the highway, there isn't any way to make things better."
"We came from Idaho to Tennessee in May for two weeks and this was our first campsite. We fell in love with peaceful walks along the river, watching the ducks and birds along with a few turtles 🐢."

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
TravelerNice facility, friendly staff, well kept. Easy drive to the downtown area or to the Grand Ole Opry area.
GuideNicely laid out sites that are expansive and well kept. Great views of the lake.
LegendWe stayed one night at Cedar Creek Campground while traveling north and appreciated its location, which allowed us to bypass Nashville traffic by using I-840 and TN-45. We followed the route using RV Trip Wizard and Waze, although Waze wanted to route us through I-40. Coming in from the south, we did not see any brown campground signs until we reached the marina entrance. The final approach travels through a narrow, hilly rural-suburban area before arriving at the campground. Check-in was quick, and we headed to back-in Site 22 with 50/30/20-amp electric and water. Immediately after leaving the check-in station, there is a fairly tight right-hand turn. The attendant specifically warned us to take it wide, explaining they occasionally see larger rigs scrape there. The site length was accurately represented on Recreation.gov and accommodated our 40-foot fifth wheel, although we needed to unhitch to park our F-450 alongside the trailer. Utilities were conveniently located near the middle of the site, water pressure was excellent, and the site included a newer picnic table, fire ring with cooking grate, and lantern post. We received three bars on Verizon and two bars on T-Mobile. Our T-Mobile Home Internet averaged 193 Mbps download and 1.3 Mbps upload. With the heavy tree canopy, Starlink availability will vary considerably by site, and we doubt Site 22 would have provided a usable view of the sky. The campground has two bathhouses, with the newer facility offering individual shower rooms. The older bathhouse had two coin-operated machines, although the dryer was out of service during our stay. The lakeside sites are more generously spaced, while the interior loops connect to one another, making the back sides of the loops feel very close together, with some sites almost sitting on top of each other. Sites 54 and 56B appeared to be among the better choices for larger rigs. Although we didn't use the dump station, it looked manageable for a 40-foot rig despite reviews suggesting otherwise. The biggest consideration is maneuverability. The roads are narrow, several turns are sharp, and there are trees and drainage ditches throughout the campground. We exited without incident, but even on a Thursday with light occupancy, it required careful driving. Had the campground been full with vehicles parked along the roads, navigating a large RV would have been considerably more challenging. Overall, we enjoyed the peaceful Corps of Engineers setting and the opportunity to avoid Nashville traffic, but for our 40-foot fifth wheel, we're not convinced the extra maneuvering required is worth the tradeoff for future overnight stays.
ScoutGreat spot. Lots of dog areas and cool hangout area around the pool.
TravelerCampsites are door to door. Theyve packed alot of campers in a little area. On the plus side there is sewer hookups at each campsite
GuideWe have now been here 7 times in the past 3 months. We love it. The campground is so beautiful and peaceful and the camp hosts are the best.
ScoutFriendly, clean, services include trash pickup at each site. Help onsite 24 hours. Clean toilets and washroom.
Campsites near Greenbrier, Tennessee offer convenient access to Old Hickory Lake and Cumberland River while remaining within 30 minutes of Nashville. The region features a mix of Corps of Engineers campgrounds, private RV resorts, and state parks scattered throughout the Highland Rim geographical area. Summer camping often requires advance planning due to high demand, particularly at lakefront sites that provide water recreation opportunities.
Fishing at Cedar Creek: Located on Old Hickory Lake, this campground provides excellent bank fishing opportunities. "Most sites have a lovely view of the lake if not directly along the shore. Swimming beach, playground, and marina both within walking distance," notes one visitor at Cedar Creek.
Live music at campgrounds: Several RV parks offer on-site entertainment without driving to Nashville. "Live music and the shuttle service to go downtown. That's all we need," reports a camper at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market. Many campgrounds feature regular performances during summer months.
Hiking at Bledsoe Creek: The park offers several miles of lakeside trails suitable for all skill levels. "We did a nice 4 mile hike around the whole park," shares a visitor, though they noted "when we're hiking we love to get out away from everyone and everything. It felt like we were in earshot of the campground the entire hike."
Spacious lakefront campsites: Seven Points campground features well-separated sites with water views. "The lake view and night skies are amazing. The water is warm, which isn't something I'm used to being from further north, but the campsites are so nicely groomed and the place is pristine," writes a camper at Seven Points.
Shuttle service to Nashville: Many campgrounds offer affordable transportation to downtown. "Has shuttle service to downtown for 10.00 great price. Very friendly staff," mentions a visitor at Nashville RV and Cabins Resort. This allows campers to avoid parking challenges in the city.
Wildlife viewing: Deer sightings are common at several area campgrounds. At Bledsoe Creek, one camper reported: "Deer would just walk up near you and just say hello. It's so peaceful and it allows me to think that there's not all bad here on Earth."
Train noise affects some campgrounds: Several campgrounds near Goodlettsville experience railroad disruptions. At Grand Ole RV Resort, a visitor warns: "Only downfall are the trains that operate 24/7 directly adjacent to the grounds. Trains rolling by at 3 am is not how I spend my night."
Highway noise is common: Many Nashville-area campgrounds experience traffic sounds. "Very very noisy due to the highway that runs right on the other side of the tree line," reports a camper at Nashville North.
Tick prevention needed: Some campgrounds have notable tick populations. "Our dogs picked up ticks every day, and we had a few as well. Watch out for lyme and other tick born illnesses. We unfortunately found a bullseye rash from one of the bites," warns a visitor at Bledsoe Creek.
Check for swimming areas: Not all lakefront campgrounds permit swimming. A visitor at Bledsoe Creek noted: "The only bad things were that there was no swimming in the lake and there was no pool. We will try a new place next time."
Consider playground facilities: Some campgrounds have limited play equipment. At Grand Ole RV Resort, a camper mentioned: "They show a playset on their map and it was two regular swings and a baby swing. This was disappointing since we had little ones."
Look for evening activities: Campgrounds with scheduled activities keep kids entertained. "The pool was great our kids loved it! Unfortunately missed the live music that plays frequently on their back porch," shares a family at Two Rivers Campground.
Site dimensions vary significantly: Many campgrounds have tight spacing between sites. At Nashville KOA Resort, one camper observed: "Sites are very compact. You lack any privacy. They do have a lot of trees to make it feel less like a parking lot."
Maneuvering challenges exist: Some campgrounds have limited turning space. "Tight fit for my 43' motorhome, especially maneuvering dump station," notes a visitor at Cedar Creek, highlighting the importance of knowing your vehicle length.
Consider full-hookup availability: Sewer connections aren't universal at area campgrounds. "Perfect for people who like to be surrounded with nature. Very clean and well maintained spots. Water and electric but no sewer. There is a dump station in the campground," shares an RVer at Seven Points.
