The RV parks near Murfreesboro, Tennessee sit within the Highland Rim geographical region, characterized by rolling hills and limestone formations. Most campgrounds in the area experience mild winters with occasional below-freezing temperatures, while summer humidity can make temperatures feel 5-10 degrees warmer than actual readings. Camping facilities within a 45-minute radius offer varied terrain from lakeside peninsulas to woodland settings.
What to do
Boat rentals on Percy Priest Lake: Four Corners RV Resort provides multiple water recreation options including pontoon rentals. "We rented the pontoon and enjoyed the beautiful lake. Highly recommend bringing bug spray for your RV because at night they are all over the door and walls," notes Stephanie R. who visited in July.
Fishing excursions: Twin Creeks RV Resort offers direct lake access with a boat ramp near the campsites. "Pretty good fishing. Electric and water hookups are on left side of campsite," reports Gary, who rated the experience highly.
Live music events: Many campgrounds host regular entertainment, particularly during summer months. "There was a band there during my stay. Activities planned throughout the month," mentions Stacey about her experience at Elm Hill RV Resort, where evening performances are common during peak season.
What campers like
On-site dining options: Avoiding restaurant trips can save time and money. "The campground had a small store with supplies, a restaurant with a menu available (though we cooked our own food), and live music each night while we were there during the summer," writes Randi P. about Grand Ole RV Resort.
Laundry facilities: "Laundry room and campground overall was clean and well maintained," reports Stephanie R. about Four Corners Resort. Other campers note that some parks have modern card-payment systems rather than quarters: "The laundry room takes CC/Debit and is clean," explains Erich H.
Family recreation spaces: "There's a swimming beach as well as several relaxing spots, a playground, a bark park and a dog washing station," reported one camper about Four Corners RV Resort, highlighting the multi-use areas common at larger parks near Murfreesboro.
What you should know
Train noise concerns: Some RV parks near Murfreesboro are situated near active rail lines. "Only downfall are the trains that operate 24/7 directly adjacent to the grounds. Trains rolling by at 3 am is not how I like to spend my night," warns Jeff P. about Grand Ole RV Resort.
Site spacing variations: Campground density differs considerably between parks. "Sites are close together. Not much room between my rv and neighbor," Mickey C. notes about Nashville North KOA, while other parks offer more generous spacing.
Wildlife management: Local wildlife can affect camping comfort, particularly near water. "Canadian geese roam around leaving poop trails everywhere and the mayflies swarm into your rig if you have lights on at night," explains Erica C. about lakefront camping.
Tips for camping with families
Children's activities: Seek campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "Sites were large with awesome pool and play areas for kiddos," shares Steven F. about his experience at Nashville RV and Cabins Resort, which offers multiple recreational facilities.
Activity zones: Many parks separate quiet and active areas. "There is a playground, a swimming beach with dog bath upon exiting the beach. They also have a nice adult pool and a large kiddie pool," notes Randall B. at Four Corners Resort and Marina.
Manager interactions: Staff attitudes toward children can vary between parks. One campground received a critical review when "Bill didn't like kids playing on the 'adult lounge swings'," suggesting families should research child-friendliness before booking.
Tips from RVers
Winter camping considerations: Cold weather camping requires additional planning. "I do not recommend camping on a shore site during winter, as the wind is colder off the lake," advises Erich H. about his winter stay at Four Corners Resort and Marina.
Site access challenges: RV parks have varying accessibility. "Roads are a little narrow, but manageable," reports Christie B. about River Road RV Park, highlighting a common concern for drivers of larger rigs.
Site dimensions: Check exact measurements before booking. "Be very cautious of the site lengths. Some are extremely short and I'd say the measurements are nearly exact," warns Beth H. about fitting her RV into her reserved space at Elm Hill RV Resort.
