    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Crazy Horse Recreational Park offers riverfront campsites where pets are welcome on both sides of the Buffalo River. The campground maintains a family-friendly area with a 10 pm quiet time across the river from the main camping area, which enforces quiet hours at midnight. Tent sites with electrical hookups are available alongside RV spots with water, electric, and sanitary dump services. Dogs must remain leashed when outside camping units. The bathrooms and shower facilities are cleaned regularly but can become busy during peak kayaking season. Heartstone Campground provides a more secluded pet-friendly experience with primitive campsites situated along a creek. The well-maintained natural setting includes picnic tables and fire rings at each site. The campground draws a mix of tent campers and small RVs under 25 feet.

    The Buffalo River provides excellent dog-friendly recreation opportunities directly accessible from riverfront campsites. Leashed pets can accompany owners on kayaking trips, with rentals and shuttle services available at Crazy Horse Recreational Park. Dogs enjoy wading in the shallow areas of the creek at Heartstone while owners relax at their campsites. Pet waste stations are positioned throughout the campgrounds, and campers should bring bags for trail clean-up. Cell service is limited at both locations, with Heartstone being particularly remote, though emergency landline service is available. Nearby towns of Hohenwald, Linden, and Waynesboro offer pet supplies approximately 15-20 minutes from the campgrounds. The family camping area at Crazy Horse provides a more controlled environment for those camping with easily startled pets.

      Parkers Crossroads RV Park and Campground

      RV Park and RV Repair!

      Parker’s Crossroads is located very conveniently off of I-40 and the park is gorgeous! They have some long term campers, storage, and an RV Repair Center on site. The shop inside has more parts then we have ever seen at an RV Park. While here we needed a switch for a water heater, they had it!

      The campground had some narrow roads and some less than level sites but they were all doable. They have a nice pool area, spaces for dogs to be walked (on leash), pet waste disposal, cabins, and full hook ups.

      The park was very quiet and clean, well kept. They have large mature trees, and great landscaping.

      The cellular service for TMobile and AT&T we’re both decent and streaming video was possible each night.

      Buffalo I-40-Exit 143 KOA

      Hurricane Mills, TN…Not for us

      Pro: It’s a well maintained resort. Had a decent dog park. Sites were nicely spaced. Check in was a breeze and we were shown to our site by a very nice lady. Lots of trees and flowers and quiet. Easy in and out. Cons: We had a corner site and we were really too long for the site, we’re 42’ long. The electric and water were all in one spot which was at the very end of the camper. We’ve been on this journey for 10 months so not our first rodeo. As the lady left a man rolls up in his cart and informs us that we need to pull up farther because it would be a tight squeeze for anyone to navigate around us. Which he wasn’t wrong but perhaps a more appropriate site could have been given us since we had a reservation for weeks. We told him if we pulled up farther we couldn’t reach the hose connection. He arrogantly told us that we should have a 50’ hose as most people do just for these circumstances. He also said we could buy one in their store. I asked if they possibly had another site that might fit the rig better. He said he thought they were full for the night but I could ask! That pretty much set the tone for the stay and for this review. Not sure if he was the owner or a grounds keeper. The sites were on hills- which it is Tennessee…but we had a difficult time getting our camper level as it went down hill due to the fact we had to pull up so far it set the camper downhill. It has auto leveling and could never get it level where we sat, kept giving us an error code. This system won’t allow you to level manually. We have 4 slides and it was difficult to get them out not being level. The bedroom slide came out enough for us to open the bed out. The fact that the camper was at such a slant it was not good for the slides obviously because it was so un-level that the jacks wouldn’t go down. It was pretty bouncy and you picked up speed walking from one end to the other. We were glad it was just one night.

      Piney River Resort

      A Hidden Treasure

      The staff was friendly and helpful. The campground is nestled around the Piney River amongst in the middle of the forest. The campgrounds have future expansion projects lined up to add additional sites, a pool, and a pet area.  Do not rely on GPS and follow the directions in your reservation email for the safest route. Stock up on groceries, the nearest market is roughly 30 minutes away. Check out the winery's.


    Guide to Waynesboro

    Waynesboro is located in southwestern Tennessee along the Buffalo River, with elevations ranging from 700 to 900 feet above sea level. The area experiences mild winters and hot, humid summers with average temperatures between 50-90°F depending on season. Most campgrounds in the region offer river access with varying degrees of shade coverage and primitive to full-hookup options.

    What to do

    Kayaking the Buffalo River: Access the river directly from Crazy Horse Recreational Park which offers kayak and canoe rentals with shuttle services. "We love to come here for when we kayak the Buffalo. Plenty of open riverfront campsites and shuttles to or from the camp (depending on which route you take)," notes Emily S.

    Explore local hiking trails: The region offers several trails with varied terrain. At David Crockett State Park Campground, "We had a great outdoor class to learn about snakes, hiked the trails, and enjoyed the falls. We look forward to going back to this gem again!" shares Steve G.

    Visit Amish country: Take a short drive from your campsite to experience local Amish culture. "We also explored the downtown square and then drove out to Amish country. We had the best time driving from house to house to purchase different goodies," reports Shana D.

    What campers like

    Riverside camping spots: Many campers appreciate direct water access from their sites. "The campsites are terribly unlevel. I can honestly say that is the only negative. The campground is very shady & they just improved the bathhouse," writes Nickie F. about Pickwick Landing State Park Campground.

    Natural water features: Creeks and river access provide cooling options during hot months. "The clear creek to play in is gorgeous! The park had so much to offer. Lots of hiking trails, covered bridge, fishing lake w/boat & kayak rentals plus a beautiful waterfall that is great for sunsets!" says Shana D.

    Variety of campsite options: From primitive to full-hookup, the area offers camping for all preferences. "We stayed at the primitive campsites but they do have small cabins that you can stay in. They have restrooms and showers if you need them. The staff is super friendly and we always have a great time," explains Emily L.

    What you should know

    Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds have limited connectivity. At Natchez Trace RV Campground, "I had absolutely no cell service through Verizon and my T-Mobile 5g internet had no reception either (even with a booster). Luckily, I was able to rely on my Starlink," reports Emerson F.

    Bridge clearance issues: Some campgrounds have access limitations. "There is a low bridge (11ft) that you need to pass under to get onto the Natchez Trace Parkway. If you can't fit, you have to take Napier road north several miles," warns Emerson F.

    Campground designations: Some parks have designated areas for different camping styles. "Has a family side and another rowdy side across the river. Family side quiet time begins at 10 pm," explains Cam A. about Crazy Horse Recreational Park.
