The Grand Ole RV Resort features nightly performances during summer months with one camper noting, "Live music every night was nice."

What campers like
Level concrete sites: Camping facilities near Springfield prioritize stable parking areas. At Four Corners RV Resort, a visitor commented, "Beautiful level concrete pads. Spacious sites for everyone." Another mentioned, "Our lakeside spot was $60 per night. Our other lake resort stays in this area have been at least double that!"
Shuttle services to Nashville: Some RV parks provide transportation to downtown Nashville. "They have a shuttle service to downtown for $10.00 great price," explains a camper at Nashville RV and Cabins Resort, making tourism easier without moving your rig.
Clean facilities: Guests consistently praise the maintenance standards at RV parks in the area. "Level gravel sites and bath house very clean. Busy campground but everything quietened down after 10 pm," reports a Nashville North KOA visitor describing the well-maintained facilities.
What you should know
Traffic noise levels: Highway proximity affects several campgrounds. "There is a lot of traffic noise, but that didn't bother us as it may others," notes a visitor to Nashville North KOA. Similarly, a camper at RJourney Clarksville RV Resort mentioned, "This CG has the most interstate noise of any we've stayed."
Train activity: Railroad tracks run near certain RV parks. One Grand Ole RV Resort visitor explained, "This is right off the main road so there can be some traffic noise. There is also a very active railroad track that runs right along the back."
Cell service quality: Connectivity varies by location and carrier. "Internet was down when we got here and cell signal is hit and miss on all 3 Carriers (Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile)," reported one Nashville North KOA guest, while another mentioned, "Cellular signals were good for AT&T and TMobile, we were able to work and stream."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Multiple swimming locations exist for families. "The kids enjoyed swimming, fishing, and kayaking," shared a visitor at Piney River Resort. Another family mentioned, "We swam and waded in the (very clean) river and watched kids jumping off of the rock ledge."
Playground facilities: Grand Ole RV Resort & Market offers limited play areas. "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," cautions a parent who visited with children.
Kid-friendly policies: Campground attitudes toward children vary. A visitor to Four Corners RV Resort warned, "Bill doesn't like kids. He would prefer the camp to be 55+. Bill didn't like kids playing on the 'adult lounge swings'," suggesting families research specific campground policies before booking.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Site conditions differ between campgrounds. "The sites were level," reports a visitor to Nashville RV and Cabins Resort, while another RVer at Four Corners noted concrete pads make setup easier.
Access challenges: Some campgrounds have difficult approach roads. "The drive in from the highway was very scary on narrow, windy roads with dropoffs on the side," warns an RVer about Piney River Resort, adding "I'd say this is a much better stay for smaller RVs."
Site spacing: Privacy varies significantly between RV parks. "Sites were nice and roomy," according to a Nashville RV and Cabins Resort visitor, contrasting with experiences at other facilities where sites are more compact.
