      Bowling Green KOA

      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.

      Bowling Green KOA

      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.

      Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

      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.

      Nashville 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.

      Four 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.

      Nashville KOA Resort

      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 Pleasant View

    Pet friendly camping near Pleasant View, Tennessee offers campers dedicated accommodations for their four-legged companions beyond standard leash areas. The Cumberland River watershed provides waterfront camping options at several locations within 30 minutes of Pleasant View, with elevations ranging from 400-650 feet. Spring and fall temperatures typically range from 50-80°F, creating comfortable camping conditions with occasional afternoon thunderstorms from April through October.

    What to do

    Fishing at Lock A Campground: Waterfront sites provide direct access to Cumberland River fishing where campers can watch barges pass by. "Loved our camping experience by the water. Friendly staff and beautiful scenery. Bring the fishing poles!" shares Blake B. about Lock A.

    Hiking at Montgomery Bell: The state park features numerous wooded trails with historic sites and natural features. "Great family friendly park with lots of hiking and historical sites. There is a beautiful waterfall and an adorable old church," notes Faith S. about the extensive trail system at Montgomery Bell State Park Campground.

    Live Music Events: Many campgrounds host regular performances, especially during summer months. "The Grand O RV Resort has live free entertainment nightly," mentions Stephen & Theresa B. at Grand Ole RV Resort & Market, making it convenient to enjoy local musicians without leaving camp.

    What campers like

    Waterfront Views: Riverside camping spots offer peaceful settings with unique perspectives. "We frequent this campground because it is close to home. Mostly suitable for RV camping with a few tent sites. All campsites have a fire ring, grill, and a trash can. 1/2 of the sites are direct waterfront," reports Abby C. about the Cumberland River views.

    Level, Accessible Sites: Many campgrounds feature well-maintained, level camping pads. "The site was within a quarter inch of level and was a concrete pad. Each site had its own trash can that were emptied frequently," notes Guy M. about his experience at Harpeth River Bridge Campground.

    Shuttle Services: Campgrounds near Nashville often provide transportation into the city. "There's a $10 round trip shuttle that takes you to downtown Nashville from the campground parking lot which is super convenient!" explains Megan A. about the transportation options at Two Rivers Campground.

    What you should know

    Noise Considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby transportation routes. "Make sure you have good brakes because the road coming into the campground is a little steep! 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," warns Guy M. about Lock A.

    Breed Restrictions: Not all pet-friendly campgrounds welcome all dog breeds. "Make sure to ask about what breeds of dogs they allow. Couldn't stay due to my German Shepherd mix," cautions Brandy W. about Spring Creek Campground's policies.

    Seasonal Business: Campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons and holidays. "Book early if you want to accommodate your group OR get a spot. Sites are able to be booked 6 months ahead, so think ahead," advises Stæven F. about popular campgrounds in the area.

    Tips for camping with families

    Creek Access for Children: Shallow creeks provide natural play areas for supervised children. "Montgomery Bell State Park is very clean and quiet. We really enjoyed our spot by the creek. Children can wade in the creek all day, while parents enjoy sitting outside under all the shade trees," recommends Tammy P.

    Playground Proximity: Consider site location relative to play areas. "With a great pavilion, volleyball court, ball diamond, and playground, the far side of the camp is perfect for families, groups, and events. If you don't want kiddos walking through your campsite to get to the playground, you may want to choose a higher number," suggests Stæven F.

    Wildlife Viewing: Local fauna provides educational opportunities for children. "Deer, Blue Herons, and Squirrels are abundant," notes Abby C., making wildlife spotting a natural activity for families with children.

    Tips from RVers

    Extended Stay Considerations: Some locations offer monthly rates for longer visits. "They have long-term rates for $600/month," mentions Laura H. about Nashville North KOA, providing an economical option for extended stays.

    Hookup Locations: Check utility placement before selecting sites. "The water hookup was on the wrong side for my camper," reports Nathan R., highlighting the importance of confirming hookup configurations match your RV setup.

    Big Rig Access: Most area campgrounds accommodate larger vehicles, but access routes vary. "Several pull through sites designated just for one night stop overs and many more designed for longer stays. You should look for a review of someone who stayed longer than me if that is your intentions," advises John T. about navigating campgrounds with larger RVs.
