5 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Mount Juliet offers several established RV parks within 30 miles of the city center. Stonegate Mobile Home and RV Park provides sites directly in Mount Juliet, while Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort offers lakefront camping with full hookups approximately 10 minutes away. Grand Ole RV Resort in Goodlettsville features pull-through sites with 50-amp service and sewer connections on small pebble pads, accommodating larger rigs with ease. Elm Hill RV Resort (formerly Safe Harbor) provides concrete waterfront sites with both 30 and 50-amp options. Most parks maintain level sites with full hookup capabilities, though spacing between sites varies considerably. "The roads and campsites are made of small pebbles, which made it easy to drive and back in. Our site had full hookups (water, sewer, and electric)."
Interstate access makes most area RV parks easily reachable for big rigs, with I-40 and I-24 providing primary routes to campgrounds. Nashville North KOA in Goodlettsville operates year-round with 95 sites that include 50-amp service and propane availability. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, with one reviewer noting "T-Mobile cell service worked well, even for using our hotspot." Several parks charge premium rates during peak Nashville tourism seasons and special events. Pet policies vary between locations, with most allowing dogs with standard restrictions. Dump stations are available at most parks, though some older facilities have higher-positioned sewer connections that may require creative hose positioning. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays during spring through fall.
"Nashville North KOA is a well developed park with large level sites. It has conveinient access to I65 and Highway 31W. They have 30/50amp full service hookups and Cabins."
"Not super impressed with the grounds and the noise level, but everything else is great. The highway is really noisy, and the spot we got was full of really harsh gravel and rocks."
"This park is located on a peninsula on a lake close to Nashville. Almost every site has a view of the water on flat concrete big pads. Some sites, on higher land, are mostly long term residents."
"Sitting in a lake, the campground is a peninsula surrounded by water. Great views, super clean and very nice amenities. Saturday night they had a band and a Halloween celebration. Very safe."
"We stayed in the center of the park, which didn’t have much shade, but the outer edge sites seemed more wooded."
"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."
"I’m hesitant to write this review because this is our new close-to-home GO-TO camping spot and we don’t want it to get booked up. 😆 It is new, quiet, and extremely well-priced."
"Additionally, we were right next to one of the courtesy docks where our family members picked us up on their boat, enjoying the lake coves and scenery."
"Has shuttle service to downtown for 10.00 great price. Very friendly staff."
"There’s no WOW to this RV park, but the people are nice and it provides a quiet and convenient location to stay in Nashville."
from $50 - $70 / night
"It was a pull through spot close to the bathrooms. We were able to use just electrical hook up for the night to rest. It’s a few minutes off I-40 and lots of gas options close by."
"The campground has a variety of sites from deluxe paved pull through with patios to back-in full hookups to tent sites. We stayed in the back-in sites side of the campground."
"This is the upper echelon of RV camping; a true resort with amenities to match."
"We stayed here twice as our first stops leaving “home” when we started full-timing this summer. Both stays were quite, with plenty of things to explore around the property."
"Very close to the freeway. Great for overnight or extended stay. Nice pull through sites."
GuideIt's a beautiful place to take walks and look at all of God's beauty while doing it;) Then you have your beautiful water to enjoy while being under the moon… a wonderful place with the right person or even by yourself to get a sweet escape!
LegendWe stayed here overnight on the way to Gatlinburg and three nights on the way back. GPS and signage was good as getting to this COE was easy. Often you don’t know what you’re going to get at a COE i.e. tight roads, low hanging branches etc. This was not the case as the campground (CG) is big rig friendly. For the overnighter, we checked in at the gate and proceeded to back in site 50 with water and electric (50/30/20 AMP). We had no problem backing into site 50 which sits above the creek that runs through the side of the CG. The gravel pad was fairly level(didn’t need any blocks under tires) with a picnic table, fish cleaning station, fire pit and stand up bbq. For the three nights we were in back in site 37, which was along the fence side of the CG. Site 37 had the same picnic table, cleaning table, stand up bbq and fire pit. This site’s pad was plenty long enough so we could put our toy hauler patio down. For both sites we got 1 bar on both Verizon and T-Mobile. As there is no Wifi in this CG, we used starlink. Since our starlink antenna is not hard mounted, we were able to move the antenna around to get a good signal through the trees. We were surprised this COE didn’t sell firewood nor ice. We enjoyed walking our dog around and even did some fly fishing in the adjacent river. We thoroughly enjoyed this COE.
LegendWe followed RV Life Trip Wizard GPS and Waze off I-40 to Nashville Shores RV Resort without any issues. Check-in was quick, easy, and informative, and we headed to back-in site 7 with full hookups (FHUs). The concrete pad was level, with the water hookup located at the very back of the site. Water pressure was good at around 60 psi but dropped somewhat as the campground (CG) filled up over the weekend. We had 3 bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile, with T-Mobile providing a respectable 108 Mbps download. We used our T-Mobile Home Internet, which delivered 126 Mbps, rather than Starlink. Although there were trees along the CG's perimeter, most sites appeared to have a reasonably clear view of the sky for satellite internet. Site spacing was okay, although neighboring RVs were still fairly close. Several sites were located along the lake, with a few appearing long enough to accommodate larger rigs. We suggest calling the office for details on reserving one of those waterfront sites. One of our favorite amenities was the large fenced dog run, with plenty of room to throw a ball and let our pup burn off some energy. We also appreciated having two fire pits at our site. One was behind our rig, providing a nice spot away from the CG road, while the other was near the front, next to a small concrete patio with a picnic table. Although the CG filled up during our mid-October weekend stay, the adjacent water park had closed for the season on October 1. Without the water park crowds and activity, we found Nashville Shores to be a very enjoyable place to stay."
TravelerNice campground, spaces are a little tight but not bad. Restrooms are clean.
GuideWe had such a nice stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and welcomed. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and the whole campground had a really nice, relaxed feel to it.
Our site was spacious and easy to get into, and we really appreciated how clean and well cared for everything was. After spending the day exploring Nashville, it was nice to come back to the campground, slow down and just enjoy the evening.
The location worked out great for us too. We were close enough to enjoy everything Nashville has to offer, but when we came back to the RV, it felt like we could get away from all the activity and relax.
One of the things we enjoy about RV travel is finding places that you actually look forward to coming back to at the end of the day, and this was definitely one of those places. We made some great memories here and would absolutely stay again the next time we’re in Nashville!
TravelerWe came here for our shake out of our new trailer as it’s only about 20 min from home and we could still go to work. We will probably come back when we just want to “get out of the house” for a few days.
The place is beautiful and if you want to be in the middle of nowhere, this is it! The grounds are easily walkable with a lot of open spaces. Saw a lot of wildlife so come in slow so you don’t hit a deer.
Do NOT come in from South Mount Juliet road. The turn onto Couchville Pike is tight for cars, let alone pulling a camper. Come in off of I-840 and you will be fine.
We got decent wifi and I did a video call without lag. Full hookups (50amp)
No on site staff that we saw other than grounds crew.
TravelerI called today (a week and a half in advance) for a reservation that I had booked recently. Our driving plans changed and I wanted to cancel and receive a refund. I was informed they have a 14 day policy. Apparently it is their policy, nothing was emailed or texted to me or verbally given. However if I don’t “ask,” it is apparently my problem. Okay touché. And well I realize this may be their policy, 14 days is ridiculous. They offered me a “camp credit and it’s good for 1 year.” 🤣😮💨 I told her we live in Arizona. And she says “okay.” Not even effort for a partial refund. Beware of the terrible customer service. This is completely unprofessional.
TravelerOnly here for an overnight but would definitely recommend. Huge sites. Very quiet. Clean campground. Host was very friendly.
TravelerReserved spot #19 for 1 night. The stay was very peaceful with friendly staff! The site itself was a bit rocky but that should be expected for primitive. A firepit and grill was provided with a less than 20 ft walk to the water through the trees. Would definitely book again for the price and convenience!!🤙
Mount Juliet camping options benefit from their central Tennessee location with access to Percy Priest Lake, one of the region's largest water recreation areas at 14,200 acres. Situated in terrain that averages 500-700 feet elevation, the Mount Juliet area provides camping with consistent cellular connectivity across most major carriers. RV parks in this region commonly feature concrete or gravel pads with most sites offering 50-amp electrical service.
Water activities on Percy Priest Lake: Four Corners RV Resort provides direct lake access with watercraft rentals. "We only stayed for two days but it was a great experience. We were about 20 mins from downtown Nashville and we did that for the first day but the 2nd day we spent all day in the campground. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed the beautiful lake," notes one visitor at Four Corners RV Resort.
Live music at campgrounds: Several RV parks near Mount Juliet feature regular entertainment. "The Grand Ole RV Resort offers live free entertainment nightly and some of the most pleasant staff we have encountered," according to one reviewer. Another camper mentions, "We had breakfast at the market a couple of times & it was delicious! The entertainment for NYE was seriously the most fun we've had out in a while. Nothing says Nashville like live country music!"
Nashville tourism access: Nashville RV and Cabins Resort offers transportation to popular attractions. "Has shuttle service to downtown for 10.00 great price. Very friendly staff," reports one camper. Another visitor at Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort adds, "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."
Waterfront camping views: Elm Hill RV Resort (formerly Safe Harbor) offers premium lakeside sites. "Sitting in a lake, the campground is a peninsula surrounded by water. Great views, super clean and very nice amenities. Very safe. Full hookups, decent WiFi," writes one visitor. Another adds, "This park is located on a peninsula on a lake close to Nashville. Almost every site has a view of the water on flat concrete big pads."
Family-friendly amenities: Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort combines camping with additional recreation options. "Nice clean paved spots facing the lake. Full hookup with playgrounds and a general store. The water park is amazing," notes one reviewer. Another camper shares, "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."
Friendly service: Many campers highlight exceptional staff interactions. "I'm happy to say this is a family business who still understands the value of the customer experience. This is a great location to explore all the Nashville area has to offer," shares a camper about Grand Ole RV Resort & Market. One reviewer notes, "The staff was super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. A man even led us to our site in a golf cart and helped my fiancé back in and park our trailer."
Highway and train noise: Several parks near interstates experience noise issues. "Sites are very close together. Not much room between my rv and neighbor. The website shows a creek but it's more of a storm water runoff. Noisy due to the highway that is very close. Great sounds of the trucks to keep you awake," reports one Nashville North KOA visitor. Another adds, "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."
Seasonal insects: Bug preparation is essential in warmer months. "Highly recommend bringing bug spray for your RV because at night they are all over the door and walls," warns one Four Corners visitor. Another camper notes, "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."
Premium pricing: Expect higher rates than comparable facilities in other areas. "It is a bit pricey, but if you want to experience Nashville, it's a pretty good deal given the proximity," explains one visitor. Another camper mentions, "It's pushing the limits for sure. We've stayed in places that were just as nice or nicer for $60 a night."
Waterpark access considerations: Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort combines camping with water attractions, but check operating schedules. "Listen to the warnings in the reviews of this campsite. If you are tenting don't expect to sleep well," one visitor cautions. Another notes, "We 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."
Activity options for children: Look for campgrounds with dedicated recreation areas. "Sites were large with awesome pool and play areas for kiddos," reports one Nashville RV and Cabins Resort visitor. One camper at Campers RV Park writes, "There are pavilions and out buildings setup with games, hammocks, and all kinds of fun family-friendly things to see and do."
Site selection for families: Research specific site locations and request accordingly. "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," notes one Grand Ole RV Resort visitor. Another camper recommends, "Our personal faves are 69 thru 81...odds/lakefront. There is a swimming beach as well as several relaxing spots, a playground, a bark park and a dog washing station."
Site leveling and access: Most rv campgrounds near Mount Juliet, Tennessee provide level sites with good hookups. "The site we stayed at was very level," mentions a Four Corners RV Resort visitor. Another at Elm Hill RV Resort notes, "Each site has all hook ups and are very well maintained. The sites are close together but not uncomfortable."
Reservation timing: Book well ahead during peak seasons, especially for weekend stays. "This is a good campground. Adequate power and water pressure. Swimming pool was very busy and well maintained. Level gravel sites and bath house very clean. Busy campground but everything quietened down after 10 pm," reports one Nashville North KOA visitor.
RV sizing considerations: Several parks accommodate larger rigs but with varying site lengths. "Be very cautious of the site lengths. Some are extremely short and I'd say the measurements are nearly exact. Since our site backed up to a drop off, there was a small fence so no way to 'hang over' the pad a little for extra room. It was exactly the length we needed with nearly zero wiggle room," warns an Elm Hill visitor.
