    Whooping Crane Farm

    Glamping at it’s finest!

    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!

    Whooping Crane Farm

    River glamping

     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.

    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.

    I love it here.

    There are free hot showers, laundry facilities in the summer, and it's clean and well kept. It's not too far from Nashville. White Bluff, the closest town, is only a few miles away and is a cute little town. Would highly recommend.

    Campers RV Park

    Great location

    Many improvements have been made since last year. The pull thru sites have been widened and are more accommodating for larger RVs. They are working on adding a few more pull thru sites as well. The sites are gravel and mostly level. All sites are FHU. They do offer short term monthly rates which are back in sites that have a little more room. There are 4 rustic cabins available, and the bathhouses are reserved currently for those guests only due to COVID. The laundry room is only open Fri-Sun. There are no fire rings on the sites, but you can rent a fire pit with a screen. There are also community fire pits for everyone to enjoy. There is a playground, hammock hut, and game area for the kids to stay entertained. The owners, managers, and staff are all great and you can see the hard work they are putting in to continue to upgrade this campground.

    Nashville KOA Resort

    The ultimate RV resort

    This is the upper echelon of RV camping; a true resort with amenities to match. Family and pet friendly with plenty of walking space, playground and multiple fenced in areas for the dogs to play off leash. 20/30/50 amp power, water and sewer hookups at most sites.

    As with most RV parks the spaces at the sites are tight, so be ready to get close to your neighbors. The campground requests that all trailers and RV use blocks under their stabilizers and not lay down any outdoor rugs to protect the grass. 

    One note for those making use of the sewer connection: The stand pipe sits somewhat higher off the ground than what you may see at other parks, so be prepared to get creative with your waste water hose to make sure you're running downhill before dumping tanks.

    Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

    Lots of water activities here

    We were in Nashville for a national BMX race at great park nearby. Once racing was over we headed to Nashville shores to camp for our first time. At check-in, there was a little confusion regarding our passes to the waterpark and the amenities that were part of the package we had purchased. We were sent to our site with some wrist bands by a young girl at check-in who was a little inexperienced in the whole check-in /package process there at Nashville Shores RV. Someone was going to contact us and let us know how to take advantage of what we had purchased online. Our RV site was right beside Percy Priest Lake. The weather was so nice, not humid like back home in Florida. The sites were well shaded with full hook-ups. Amenities are bathhouse, laundry, camp store, marina, waterpark, playground, horseshoes, nature trails & a zip line tree tops rope course (installed after our visit). We kind of fell through the cracks so to speak and didn't hear from anyone. Off to the waterpark we went to have some fun and speak to a manager. The boys had a blast running under water buckets dumping over them and going down slides, floating down the lazy river or getting knocked down in the wave pool. This was a great place to cool off and so convenient to our campsite (next door) The management treated our family to a private cabana complete with waitress and free food and souvenirs to make up for a mess-up with our package. It was awesome being waited on hand and foot. We also visited the Gaylord Opryland hotel which is pretty awesome. The boys had fun walking around looking at lush plants, synchronized fountains and illuminated domes. We got some good exercise walking up and down lots of stairs in that massive place. All in all, we would definitely come here again as I am sure they have streamlined the office since 4 years ago.

    Four Corners RV Resort

    Nashville’s best-kept secret

    I’m hesitant to write this review because this is our new close-to-home GO-TO camping spot and we don’t want it to get booked up. 😆 It is new, quiet, and extremely well-priced. Our lakeside spot was $60 per night. Our other lake resort stays in this area have been at least double that! There is a gated entrance, which I like. The staff here is unbelievably welcoming and friendly. The crew is constantly working on cleaning, landscaping and maintenance. This morning they were raking the beach sand because it rained yesterday. There are plenty of pet waste stations and attractive (seriously)trash bins spaced throughout the park. The sites are concrete, level and roomy with full hookups (great water pressure!), new picnic tables and fire rings. There is not one bad location on the lakeside sites. Our personal faves are 69 thru 81...odds/lakefront. There is a swimming beach (see pic) as well as several relaxing spots, a playground, a bark park and a dog washing station (see pic!). There is a bath house, laundry (with 4 brand-new LG front loading washers), a gym (with a universal, an elliptical and a treadmill) and a small store. See pics! Bathhouse is spotless. It is attached to the marina (but the marina is situated on the far end)and they rent kayaks, paddle boards, and golf carts. There are three docks with kayak and jet ski slips. The view of Percy Priest is incredible and serene. I seriously can not recommend this place highly enough. ***They are going to be adding tiny houses, cabins and aqua houses (think Bali, but closer😉).

    Henry Horton State Park Campground

    Primitive Sites=Incessant Noise

    The primitive camping sites are directly across from three group sites, each of which accommodate up to FIFTY people. The problem with this is that most folks, like me,  book primitive campsites because they are looking to get away from the noise in the RV campground. There was no peace and quiet to be had, unfortunately, because there were several gigantic groups of kids camping in the group sites across from us.  The noise was truly constant up until quiet hours.  We were camping with another couple who was unable to get their young child to sleep until very late because of all the noise.  Speaking of kids, one of the parents in the jamboree across the street thought it was acceptable to bring her kids over to play in our campsite.

    If you're looking for a Bonnaroo type camping experience with lots of cars, activity, and noise, you will enjoy the primitive sites here.  If not, I would actually suggest booking in the main RV campground or camping elsewhere.

    On the plus side, the sites were well-maintained and site 15 was scenic and spacious.


Guide to White Bluff

Montgomery Bell State Park Campground accommodates families with children in a 4,000-acre natural area, functioning as a regional camping hub in central Tennessee. Located on Jackson Hill Road in Burns, Tennessee, the campground sits within 45 minutes of Nashville and offers tent camping and RV sites separate from its glamping area. Water features are prominent throughout the park, with creeks for wading and several fishing lakes connected by nearly 20 miles of hiking trails through diverse forest terrain.

What to do

Family hiking experiences: The network of trails at Montgomery Bell State Park Campground accommodates different skill levels and interests. "Great family friendly park with lots of hiking and historical sites. There is a beautiful waterfall and an adorable old church," notes Faith S. in her review of the park.

Fishing at multiple spots: Lakes throughout the park provide ample fishing opportunities with varying access points. At Henry Horton State Park Campground, campers can fish directly along the river. As Randy C. observed, "The trails we hiked were well maintained and there is a quiet paved road suitable for bicycling."

Swimming beach access: For water activities beyond fishing, some parks offer designated swimming areas. At Four Corners RV Resort, "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," advises Stephanie R.

What campers like

Creekside camping sites: Many campers specifically request sites adjacent to water features. "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, why parents enjoy sitting outside under all the shade trees," according to Tammy P.

Historical attractions: The region offers numerous historical sites worth exploring during your glamping trip near White Bluff, Tennessee. At Loretta Lynn's Ranch, visitors can experience country music history. "The best part of our stay was the tour of the plantation and Loretta Lynn's Museum," shares Debra F.

Pet-friendly facilities: Many area campgrounds accommodate pets with designated areas and amenities. Four Corners RV Resort offers "a bark park and a dog washing station," according to Susan & Kevin W., making it ideal for those seeking glamping with pets near White Bluff.

What you should know

Weekend crowding patterns: Many campgrounds experience significant population increases on weekends and holidays. "This place is OK when it's not a busy weekend. We stayed on Memorial Day Weekend and it's was completely full. When it's full, it's just TOO full," warns Jody A. about Montgomery Bell.

Seasonal insect considerations: Bugs can be problematic, especially at waterfront sites. "Mosquitos! The first and last night we stayed the mosquitos were so bad we couldn't be outside. There were two nights in between that it was tolerable," reports Chris L. about their lake experience.

Cell service variability: Mobile reception can be unreliable depending on your carrier and specific location. 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)," notes Emerson F.

Tips for camping with families

Look for shaded playgrounds: Parks with shade-covered play areas provide relief during hot months. "With a great pavilion, Vb court, ball diamond, and playground, the far side of the camp is perfect for families, groups, and events," recommends Stæven F. regarding Montgomery Bell.

Reserve creek-adjacent sites: Water access provides natural entertainment for children. "The site I had was a little awkward backing into and the water hookup was on the wrong side for my camper. Nice facilities," explains Nathan R. about his experience at Montgomery Bell.

Check educational programs: Some parks offer ranger-led activities for children. Whooping Crane Farm provides unique outdoor educational opportunities as part of their glamping experience. According to Lori H., "The camp spot is fantastic! Right on the Cumberland River, the spot is very secluded, and plenty of space for a group."

Tips from RVers

Access route considerations: Some areas have height restrictions that affect larger vehicles. At Natchez Trace, "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," cautions Emerson F.

Leveling challenges: Site topography varies significantly between parks. At Nashville North KOA, "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," reports Mary L.

Proximity to amenities: Consider distance to facilities when selecting sites at larger parks. "We walked to the Lodge and WOW, I highly recommend a visit there. It was a beautiful, big building with a view of the lake," shares a camper about Montgomery Bell's central facilities.
