What to do

We visited the National Corvette Museum and Lost River Cave while we were there," shares a camper who stayed at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market.
What campers like

Waterfront views: Elm Hill RV Resort provides scenic lake views from most sites. "This campground is beautiful and clean..most sites are waterfront and have great sunrise views. The sites are level and have nice firepits," explains a visitor.

Clean facilities: RV parks in the area maintain their amenities well. "Comfortable campsite. Adequate power and water pressure. Swimming pool was very busy and well maintained. Level gravel sites and bath house very clean," notes a camper at Nashville North KOA.
What you should know
Highway noise: Many camping locations near Greenbrier sit close to major roads. "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 a visitor at Nashville North KOA.
Site spacing varies: Some parks offer more room between sites than others. "For a KOA in town it is ok, the spots are close together, had a back in site which as described was close to a creek, but no mention of the highway right behind the creek," reports one camper.
Train proximity: Railroad tracks run near several campgrounds. "They do have firewood for sale and a propane filling station on site. 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," notes a visitor at Grand Ole RV Resort.
Seasonal considerations: Four Corners RV Resort reports higher insect activity during summer months. "The mosquitos. It's camping on a lake in the south but our neighbors staying in the lakeside lots could hardly even be outside. They would swarm you on the docks, too."
Tips for camping with families
Playgrounds and pools: When booking, confirm recreation facilities. "This campground offers almost all pull through sites, with a few being 100 feet long. Nice pool area with a community fire pit, and cool playground," shares a camper at RJourney Clarksville RV Resort.
Kid-friendly water features: Look for safe swimming areas. "We had a site up on hill farther from the river (which was lovely) but we couldn't get level and couldn't put our slides out. All around rough stay," notes one RV owner at Piney River Resort, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate sites for family setups.
Biking opportunities: Some parks offer space for children to ride bikes. "This was a nice spot to stay by the water. Safe and friendly neighbors. Good place for kids to bike and play," mentions a visitor at Four Corners RV Resort.
Entertainment options: Consider campgrounds with regular events. "Fun events and dinner/music festivals every weekend April-October! They have long-term rates for $600/month," explains a visitor describing amenities at Nashville North KOA.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Check site conditions before booking. "The sites were large and level. The roads and campsites are made of small pebbles, which made it easy to drive and back in," shares an RVer at Grand Ole RV Resort.
Internet connectivity: WiFi quality varies between parks. "Internet was down when we got here and cell signal is hit and miss on all 3 Carriers (Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile). Delivery of anything is challenging for the drivers for some reason," reports a camper at Nashville North KOA.
Navigation challenges: Some RV parks have difficult access roads. "Staff we talked to was very kind but the drive in from the highway was very scary on narrow, windy roads with dropoffs on the side. We took the staff recommended route in and Co-Pilot's route out and both were scary in our Class A towing a car hauler," warns a visitor at Piney River Resort.
Utility access: Many parks offer multiple hookup options. "Our site had full hookups (water, sewer, and electric). The utilities are centered on the gravel pad and it was nice to have two sewer holes as our rig has two black tanks," explains an RVer describing Nashville RV and Cabins Resort.
