Whooping Crane Farm is a private glamping site that you can find on Tentrr. The property is 12 minutes from downtown Nashville, making it a perfect Glamping location. Being close to great restaurants is definitely a plus. The site is gated and right on the river, so the only traffic you have to worry about are the barges that are passing by on the river, or any boaters that are out. There’s a pond on the property, and they advertise kayak rentals. You could ride a bike around the property also, if you bring your own bike. The canvas tent was decorated nicely, with some cool lanterns and a wood burning stove. There was a battery powered fan, that lasted most of the night. The bed was comfortable for glamping. There’s a picnic table with a cooking station, and a charcoal grill. Plenty of cut firewood for the fire pit. There is a restroom, but it’s not a flush toilet, just a bucket toilet, but was nice to have while camping. This is a great spot, convenient to town, perfect for a relaxing weekend.

Used to be a KOA park turned independent. The campground is introducing "Glamping sites" along with their cabin rentals and RV sites. The manager and staff have been great with accommodations. The campground is family-oriented, quiet at night, and offers activities on the weekends and holidays. Though stated in Goodlettsville, it is in Millersville proper. 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. Opryland and Downtown Nashville are about 20 minutes away, respectively.
LegendWhooping Crane Farm is located In such a great spot, just outside Nashville, it is easy to get to, but convenient to everything. The camp spot is fantastic! Right on the Cumberland River, the spot is very secluded, and plenty of space for a group.
I would recommend bringing camp chairs, in case you want to sit in a shady spot, or by the water. The site has a picnic table, grill, and solar shower, however I would bring a tarp for privacy if you actually plan to use it, as the river is a busy place in the summer, and the shower is in clear view from the water.
There is a pond on the property, which the host, Ellen, allowed us to fish in. The River would be difficult to access, at least while we were there in late August, as there is a big drop off from the bank. I’m not sure if this is normal, or if the water lever was low.
The“loo” is a pop up tent with a bucket toilet in it. It was equipped with poop bags and toilet paper. The glamping tent was awesome. The bed was very comfortable.
We had some heavy rains overnight, and did have some dripping water from the center seam of the tent and had to scoot the bed over, but other than that, I slept like a baby. We love this spot so much, we plan to return later in the fall!

This park is not only absolutely beautiful, the high level customer service makes your stay even more enjoyable. Want a slice of Tennessee? This is it. All RV parks should take note. This is how it is done. Amazing views of the lake. Beautiful level concrete pads. Spacious sites for everyone. Totally impressed! We stayed in the winter. I can imagine the summer months are incredible Go Go Go

When I happened upon this campground I was pleasantly welcomed by a visitor center and hiking from the moment I entered the park. But no matter how nice this area was I wasn’t able to even expect what was to come with the camping facility which by far was a surprise to say the least.
I had seen great reviews for this place, like many in Tennessee, but the amenities never seemed to stop when I actually arrived. From an Olympic sized swimming pool, horse stables, a historic chapel, butterfly garden, playgrounds, picnic areas, hiking trails, nature center and even outdoor recreation fields. It seemed never ending! There was even a cave, that with special permit you can crawl into and explore!
The spaces were closer together than I might have have normally liked, but everyone was so friendly it didn’t seem to matter. When I was there, there was an event going on that coming weekend so it was a bit more full than typical week day would have been.
Still despite all the people, it wasn’t loud. People did not blast music, talk loudly after hours or have generators humming throughout the night. Instead it was like being in this nice isolated area just with a bunch of neighbors also enjoying the isolation.
I took full advantage of all the outdoor spaces, the only one I didn’t get a chance to enjoy was the pool which was at a point during the season where it was only open on weekends.
I would stay at this site again if passing through. Reservations are not required but could be helpful on busy weekends like the one I stayed just before. I do suggest checking into the office also to get a Passport for the State of Tennessee (a small book you can stamp with each stop you make at a state facility).

A beautiful and unique campground built I. The side of a rolling hill. All of the sites are cantilevered platforms on the hill. The platforms are heavily engineered so no worries about collapse! The platforms make for very level camping and amazing views. You feel like you are in a tree house. The park is a gorgeous property with a lake and hiking trails. There are ADA sights. The hills are steep and some of the sights have angle ramps. Each one is well detailed on the reservation sight so make sure you read the site info. There is a bathhouse, laundry, camp store and Park office. This is the only campground in the US like this and it is all nestled in the Tennessee hills.
GuideWe camped here for 2 full weeks. The campground at Cedars of Lebanon State Park deserves 5 stars for their proximity to Nashville, the large paved pads for campers, the peaceful woods, and their overall cleanliness.
However, we were here when there was construction going on. It was LOUD from 8am to 4, 5, and even 6pm somedays with working trucks and digging up the Tennessee Rock.
The weekends were peaceful without the construction, and the trails are all easy and flat. The showers worked well and were the typical campground showers.
The wifi that is listed on the website is basically nonexistent, so don't count on that for anything important. But Verizon had good service, while AT&T was fair.
Only Campground 3 was open during our stay and you can see the work they are doing here is going to make a huge difference to be big rig friendly. Enjoy!

This was our first stay here, and we had heard great things about it. It is a beautiful state park known as the"Queen of Tennessee's State Parks". There are 4,000 acres with mountain biking, fishing, hiking, picnic areas, kayaking/canoeing, and a golf course. Nashville is only 45 minutes away. The campground was nice. Our site was tight, and we didn't have a lot of room for our truck. We had to move to a different site for the 3rd night and the water connection was quite a reach. The sites were mostly level and some were shaded. The bathhouse was clean and there was a laundry area with 2 washers/dryers. We did have a picnic table and fire ring. We had 2-3 bars of Verizon 4G. There was a playground for the kids. There is a small creek that runs along the western edge of the campground. We did spot some snakes(copperheads maybe?) near the creek. There is a small camp store that had a few supplies, ice cream, ice& firewood. The employees were very nice. We would definitely stay here again.
TravelerI'm from New England and relocated to Tennessee in 2016. The first time I went camping at Edgar Evans, I had no idea what was going on! All I saw was platforms, and what I considered 'normal' camping sites were labeled 'primitive' sites. I was in total awe. I didn't know how it was going to work with a tent, but my boyfriend showed me that all you need to do is bring nails to hammer down and secure your tent to the wooden platform. Where as I was at first turned off by the platform, there are a few pluses:
-It rains A LOT in Tennessee. When I used to camp up north, we got flooded out during heavy rains, as we were camping directly on the ground. The platform keeps you elevated, so digging a trench around your tent is a non-issue.
-If you get a waterfront site (HIGHLY recommended), the views are gorgeous. I'd say go for the sites in the lower 40s - they're super close to a bathhouse and a few paths that will bring you down to the edge of some gorgeous cliffs, giving you the best view in the site. If you go in the other direction, you'll be looking at a community of house boats, which kinda blew my mind, as clusters of houseboats aren't really a thing up north, either.
-You can comfortably fit two tents on a platform; three is pushing it, but we've seen people pack around four in (which I don't think you're actually supposed to do).
-Something else I've noticed in TN - virtually all camping takes place at State Parks, and Edgar Evans is one of the few that actually offers wooden platforms and primitive sites. Most of them offer concrete platforms for RVs and smaller trailers, making it difficult to camp with a tent.
The sites in the lower 40s also offer more level ground for the fire pits. Some sites have a really steep drop off, which make it difficult to place chairs and sit and relax without being a little wobbly.
There's also a pretty big trail system to explore, and it seems like you might need to set aside an entire day to do the loop in its entirety - we're still planning on doing that! I find that I get more immersed in relaxation mode when I'm there instead of active hiking mode - taking a chair down to the cliffs and sitting by the water with a book makes for some beautiful downtime!
All of this being said, this is our favorite spot! We've come here at least twice, if not three times a year since I've moved down here. The staff is friendly and helpful, the campers are friendly, and there's usually lots of adorable dogs around to pet lol! Definitely love this place!

This site is perfect if fishing and boating! Many people come here to fish but unfortunately that is not my thing!

We were in Nashville for a national BMX race at great park nearby. Once racing was over we headed to Nashville shores to camp for our first time. At check-in, there was a little confusion regarding our passes to the waterpark and the amenities that were part of the package we had purchased. We were sent to our site with some wrist bands by a young girl at check-in who was a little inexperienced in the whole check-in /package process there at Nashville Shores RV. Someone was going to contact us and let us know how to take advantage of what we had purchased online. Our RV site was right beside Percy Priest Lake. The weather was so nice, not humid like back home in Florida. The sites were well shaded with full hook-ups. Amenities are bathhouse, laundry, camp store, marina, waterpark, playground, horseshoes, nature trails & a zip line tree tops rope course (installed after our visit). We kind of fell through the cracks so to speak and didn't hear from anyone. Off to the waterpark we went to have some fun and speak to a manager. The boys had a blast running under water buckets dumping over them and going down slides, floating down the lazy river or getting knocked down in the wave pool. This was a great place to cool off and so convenient to our campsite (next door) The management treated our family to a private cabana complete with waitress and free food and souvenirs to make up for a mess-up with our package. It was awesome being waited on hand and foot. We also visited the Gaylord Opryland hotel which is pretty awesome. The boys had fun walking around looking at lush plants, synchronized fountains and illuminated domes. We got some good exercise walking up and down lots of stairs in that massive place. All in all, we would definitely come here again as I am sure they have streamlined the office since 4 years ago.
GuideThis 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.
TravelerIf your here with your family and love water parks and money is no object get here a day early to get full advantage of the weekend. We got ripped off by buying a season pass for a day and a half. It’s a great deal stated the person at the check in. For the price of admission for two you’ll get a season pass that get both of you full access to the water park and tree top adventure park.....NOT! We paid $50+ to float in the lazy river. No one wore a mask and if we didn’t ask for our social distance we didn’t get it. The life guards were not any help whatsoever. As for the camp grounds yes they have lake side sites that cost additional but no access to the lake unless you are renting something. You may enjoy the ducks and geese but the raccoon or possum population and their scat added a memory to our carpet that my last a while. No we won’t return and passed on other sites thinking that this was the spot. Live and Learn. Lost Cajuns moving on.
GuideIt was very quiet because nothing was open during the week. We stayed sun to Thurs water park is only open on the weekend. The lake is very pretty but it's just to look at unless you want to drop a fortune to rent a jet ski or boat there is no beach access unless you pay to enter the water park which isn't open right now. Nashville is a really cool town, most everything is open now with a few exceptions.oh yea no one mentioned that this place is on the flight path of the international airport.
GuideNice clean paved spots facing the lake. Full hookup with playgrounds and a general store. The water park is amazing.
GuideWe've enjoyed our stay here. There are very few RV parks in the Nashville/Franklin area and are more on the outskirts. We were happy to get a site here as it's relaxing by the lake. Wifi worked good most of the time and cell service was 3 of 4 bars AT&T. Very level pad and all roads and sites are concrete. Mosquitos and spiders to stay aware of at night when the lights are on, but I think that's seasonal. Picnic table and fire pit at each site. Sewer caps don't screw on very well, but manageable if weigh your hose down to stay in place. Peaceful stay.
RangerOverall this is a good campground. It is right on the lake and probably the best access to downtown Nashville and other attractions. It is part of a water park which was closed when we were there, which might change things. Sites are spaced out well and easy to access. WiFi and cell were both good. Bathrooms were clean.
ScoutI actually had a really good stay here, but I will say that the water park was closed and it wasn’t peak season. They do keep the campground up and it is very friendly service. I like that they had cable and a full hook up and the showers and bathrooms were nice
TravelerNice big full hook up sites with some shade close to downtown Nashville.
GuideThis 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.
GuideNice enough campground. Pretty quiet this time of year. Spaces are close together. Full hookups at every site. Clean park. Check in was super easy. Close to Nashville and all the things to see and do here.
TravelerWe didn’t actually stay here because after I booked I realized the water park is not open during the week although it had officially opened the week before. My mistake for not looking closer. However when I went to cancel our reservation which I had just made they informed me I would be charged a $25 cancellation fee and a $5 fee for booking online. The fine print said I would only be charged $10 for canceling because it was far enough in advance. They also tried to convince me to leave my booking as credit to use in the future but I think I’d just prefer somewhere more upfront with their policies. Any how, just a heads up to check that the water park is actually open before you book and don’t expect good customer service.
GuideExcellent park with easy access to Nashville excitement.

Tight spots but worth the stay. Plenty of dog walking area, even a fenced area for the dogs to run. Friendly staff.
GuideFriendly folks, but the entire campground is kinda hilly. You can get level in the pull through, but just if you park so-so. Lots of full timers. Not very convenient to much.
