Long Hunter State Park Primitive Campsites

Four Corners RV Resort

This park is located on a peninsula on a lake close to Nashville. Almost every site has a view of the water on flat concrete big pads.  Some sites, on higher land, are mostly long term residents.  Most sites are back in but there are a few pull through. Each site has all hook ups and are very well maintained.  The sites are close together but not uncomfortable. There is a camp store at the main office. The pool is very nice and there are games, a playground and a pavilion.  There was a band there during my stay.  Activities planned throughout the month. It is more expensive than most but the quality of the site is worth it. 

Beautiful location 

What a great campground. Sitting in a lake, the campground is a peninsula surrounded by water. Great views, super clean and very nice amenities.  Saturday night they had a band and a Halloween celebration.  Very safe. Full hookups, decent WiFi.  It is a bit expensive but well worth it for the proximity to Nashville and the beauty of the site.  Maintenance and managers are top notch. 

The name says it all

Located water front on Percy Priest Lake.  Outstanding sites, grounds, pool and other outdoor activities. Have a wonderful dock for guest boats plus boat launch and trailer storage. No tent sites only RV and tow behind. You will not be disappointed.
