Why would I pay that much?!
My brother visits KOA’s all the time for camping. Me, not so much. I have a hard time paying $40 for a tent site when I can camp for free or under $20. The Bowling Green KOA, Ky is located on the outskirts of Bowling Green near the I65 and Natcher interchange. You can actually see the back end of the campground from the ramp that connects the two. My first thought when considering a stay.
I spoke with two of the very friendly and helpful ladies in the office and got a plethora of information. So much so that I’m sure I’ll forget some of it, but here goes;) So first with your fee you recieve (you and all your group) a free game of Minature Golf a day. Next there is wifi and cable available. There is a swimming pool on site and two pay lakes with paddle boats. A dog park and short trail. Depending on the month you visit there are also special incentives to stay an extra night. In May some of your fee is donated to Camp. With a KOA card there are special incentives too and you earn points with every stay. So, all that being said I did purchase a KOA card. Though this is not my favorite type of camping it will come in handy on an upcoming trip and when I camp with my brother ;) I was pleasantly surprised that the interstate noise was mostly not noticiple. There are plenty of trees that help block the noise and offer a lot of shade. We were in a busier site at the end of Abby Dr but it was an easy walk to the two small “lakes“( more like ponds ) and the dog park and showerhouse (with dogwash station) were a short walk away. Not much else to do but a fun enough spot for younger kids. ( no “bears“ to take photos with) and not as many special activities as some other theme campgrounds. This is a nice older campground, worth a night or two visit to get away from the grind for a bit.

Nice KOA
This KOA was easy to find by following our GPS. We checked in about 45 minutes prior to their 1:00 PM check in time and they didn’t even mention us being early. We decided we didn’t need an escort to our site as it was near the office. We proceeded to deluxe-patio pull-through site H-4 with FHUs. The utilities were nicely placed in the middle of the pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. This site has plenty of shade as does most sites in the campground (CG) due to mature trees, so we did not put out Starlink. We got 4 bars LTE on Verizon and used our MiFi versus Starlink. Site H-4 has a utility box on the yard side, so we had extra space between the adjacent site. They have a decent sized dog park with an agility set up. This KOA has a lot of amenities and lives up to a Holiday KOA rating. The dog park is a nice size. They have a decent laundry room behind the office with 4 washers and 8 dryers. It’s$2.50 to wash and$1.50 to dry. They have 2 fishing ponds. The large one you can keep 2 fish for$20 and the small one is catch and release. There’s some traffic noise from I-65 and surrounding roads. Our main reason to visit the area was to visit the National Corvette Museum. We enjoyed our two night stay.

Fun, clean, quiet
This campground was very convenient for those visiting the Nashville area, its just off the highway and they offer shuttles for a fee to downtown and opryland. The check in process was quick and simple, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Our campsite was easy to find and very clean. The shower house was one of the best I've seen mostly because it is air conditioned. The showers are all very private and clean with plenty of room. The waterpark is just steps away, I would suggest not eating food within the park it is over priced and not very tasty, go to the marina restaurant or eat at your campsite. They have a dog park to exercise your dogs and you can't beat the views. I would recommend this campground.

deb K.LegendNashville KOA Resort
Good campground, close to everything
Site wasnt great and had to level rig a bit. Patio was small and not well kept. Cable and Wi-Fi were great. Amenities also nice. Dog park and laundry were very small. Shuttle to downtown very convenient. Very expensive for gravel site with small patio. Staff all seemed friendly.

Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort
Awesome for families
This place is great! There is a lake with all sorts of water craft to rent. There is a high water park as part of the complex (separate fee). All sites have full hookups including cable. All roads are paved. All sites are level. There is even a dog park so your 4 legged family members can run free too.

TravelerFour 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.

Just as good the second time through
This was our second time staying here during the pandemic. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and all employees were masked when indoors. We decided to try a back-in spot (R12) along the wall that separates the KOA from the RV campground next door. Nice and quiet, adequate shade during the day, and right next to the dog park! 5 bars of 5Ge on AT&T and the campground WiFi was good enough to get some work done.
This is without a doubt one of the nicest KOA’s we’ve visited. We would absolutely stay here again.
Guide to Greenbrier
Pet friendly camping near Greenbrier, Tennessee ranges from rustic tent sites to full-service RV resorts, all within a 30-mile radius of the Cumberland River valley. The region sits at elevations between 400-700 feet with moderate seasonal temperatures making spring and fall particularly popular for campers. Most campgrounds in this area maintain gravel sites with electrical hookups ranging from 30-50 amp service.
What to do
Boating access: 1125 Benders Ferry Road offers multiple water recreation options at Cages Bend Campground. "I'd recommend and stay again if we are in the area. We found this while traveling from FL to MN - basically needed a place to stay for the night. What a gem and wonderful night!" according to Lisa who visited in 2022.
Watch river traffic: Cumberland River views from Lock A let you observe commercial vessels. "It's pretty cool watching the big barges move up and down the river during the day, but at night it's a little loud," notes Guy M. The campground has "one boat ramp directly in the campground. Fun to watch the river barges go by and fish."
Hiking opportunities: Bicentennial Trail near Lock A stretches 13.3 miles through shaded woodland. "We hiked the Bicentennial Trail (13.3 miles long from start to finish) which was also shaded and with geocaches. We went with our 2 dogs and 2 kids," reports Ines M. who enjoyed the trail accessibility from the campground.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Consistent maintenance at Cedar Creek earns positive feedback from visitors. "Restrooms are clean, well lit etc. Sites closer to the waterfront are beautiful and more spread out than the inland sites," according to Jay B. who appreciated the "nice coated metal mesh large picnic table and fire ring."
Level camping pads: Concrete sites at Seven Points provide stable foundations for equipment. "The campsites are level cement pads with large well spaced sites. If you can get a lake view it is wonderful," notes Tony D. This Corps of Engineers campground maintains "clear out they did on some of the spots" according to Jennifer W.
Entertainment options: Live music at Grand Ole RV Resort creates a festive atmosphere. "Live music every night was nice. Backing my trailer is not my strong suite but the guided me through it like it was nothing," states Ed S. Another camper mentioned, "The entire experience is charming. I'm definitely going to stay there every time I stop in Nashville."
What you should know
Highway proximity: Traffic noise affects some campgrounds more than others. At Nashville North KOA, "Noisy due to the highway that runs right on the other side of the tree line. But... the folks running the show are really nice," explains Mary L. Mickey C. adds, "Great sounds of the trucks to keep you awake."
Site spacing: Variable privacy levels differ between campgrounds. "The sites are very very close together," at Nashville North according to Mary L., while at Cedar Creek, "Sites closer to the waterfront are beautiful and more spread out than the inland sites."
Weather considerations: Seasonal flooding occurs at some riverside locations. "The sites are mostly gravel, and while ours was level, it does get a bit of flooding when it rains," notes Jen O. about Grand Ole RV Resort, though she emphasized "None of this, however, will stop us from being back."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple options at Two Rivers Campground keep children entertained. "Great park, small but level spots with lots of shade. The pool was great our kids loved it!!!" shares Erin G. The campground also offers "paved roads the kids loved scootering on" according to Jennifer H.
Swimming facilities: Beach areas provide water recreation at several locations. At Lock A, "A sandy beach area in the area, but there is no way I would go in that nasty river!" warns Abby C., who instead recommends the "large sandy children's playground" as an alternative activity.
Space considerations: Site selection matters for family comfort. "We had great neighbors and enjoyed the beach! We love how it is secluded and clearly camping but minutes from shopping!" says Jennifer W. about Seven Points, where the "sites are great - nice and spread out and tucked in the woods."
Tips from RVers
Utility placement: Hook-up locations at Nashville KOA Resort require planning. "The utilities are more to the front of the site with two sewer connections. We had decent water pressure," notes MickandKarla W. David S. adds that while the campground is "classified as a 'resort'. With that comes a high price tag. Our pull through patio site was $120/nt."
Connectivity considerations: Digital access varies between campgrounds. "We got 4 bars on Verizon and used our MiFi versus Starlink for our overnight stay. The KOA WiFi was very good when we tried it," according to MickandKarla W. At Lock A, Arthur P. found "Great Starlink access" despite the more rural setting.
Parking challenges: Site dimensions should be checked before booking. At Two Rivers, "Parking with our truck and trailer was a little awkward, we were a little too long for the spot we were in and the person next to us had the same issue," shares Megan A., though she still rated her experience highly.
