Best Glamping near Portland, TN

 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.

Whooping 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!

It’s an easy right off the interstate place. Plenty of TT friendly gas stations around it. Good for an overnight when passing though. My site was slightly uphill where I had to park to reach the water hookup. The water hookup is very close to the ground and leaked for me. Made it very hard to connect the hose and pressure regulator. Used all of my 25 foot hose to reach my connection. Good for a short overnight, but wouldn’t stay more than that.

This was a pleasant and easy  full service rv park to enjoy a day of peace off the road + great overnighter.  People were very nice and attentive with lots of RV manipulation help.  No Bluegrass when we were there in the spring.  Still this is a nice park to stay in on the way north.

Watch the approach since you could head into the truck stop - stay to the right and you will be ok.  I used the truck stop to fill up on the way out and it was OK. Dad's was a good stop for the night but our expectations were more than delivered since no bluegrass - even music would have been ok - so disappointed.

It is really easy in-out if you pay attention.  Enjoy.

Very nice Campground . Easy pull through seats, and shower and toilet facilities are very modern and clean. We didn’t find the highway noise to be too big of a deal.

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. Not much space to maneuver when you leave, thanks for putting the dumpster right next to the road

Friendly staff tight spaces

Friendly, helpful staff. Sites were nice and roomy. Clean laundry room (open 24 hrs). We used their shuttle service into Nashville. There is a lot of traffic noise, but that didn't bother us as it may others.

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.

One of the coolest deals is the local winery deals while staying there. They have a laundry center, store, new playground, pool, dog play area (Kamp K9), checkers, ladderball, and shuffleboard. Restrooms are available, ice and firewood for sale.

Cellular signals were good for AT&T and TMobile, we were able to work and stream.

Fun events and dinner/music festivals every weekend April-October! They have long-term rates for $600/month.

Nice little spot, freeway right behind the park and can hear cars all day/night. 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. Overall the facility it self is up-kept and clean. Good place for short term but look for better long term options.

Listen to the warnings in the reviews of this campsite. If you are tenting don’t expect to sleep well. I didn’t listen to the cautions and regretted it all night. We picked this campground because the website said they offered a shuttle service to the DT. When I asked the women at the counter (who were very nice) it appeared they had forgotten the website said that quickly said they weren’t offering it that day (it was a Friday). We were then charged 42 dollars for our tent site, we should have just turned around and got an Air B&B at that point. The showers were nice and the wifi connection was good however.

The sites are very very close together.  Very very 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.

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. The wifi is really spotty and kicks you off every 2-3 minutes. The showers are really clean and nice, there is laundry, and the pool is small but clean! Personally I think it’s overpriced for what you get. The weekend looks like they have fun activities and music going on, but we were here on a Monday/Tuesday. There is a shuttle to downtown which was awesome, and the camp hosts were really friendly and helpful!

Comfortable campsite. 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.

Rolled in right at office closing time after a rough day. Camp host was so sweet and helpful. Not super fancy but you can tell there are lots of new additions, updates and great care of the sites.

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. Seems a lot of long term campers. Everything worked just fine, did not use any of the amenities (it’s the COVID summer after all) so cannot say much. Cool tiny home was parked 2 spots down!

Very nice place!

Clean, well kept KOA. Friendly staff & convenient location. We fished in the pond & enjoyed breakfast with some feathered friends. Surprisingly quiet even though it’s close to the highway. Will stay here again if we’re in the area.
