Nashville shores is close to I40. We were there for a frog rally last year. Some sites back up to lake and some sites close to water park. Nice clean and nice folks working at park office. There are also several nice state parks near Nashville. I've been to the one outside Manchester, Tn. Old stone fort I think is the name. Nice older park, not full hook ups.

We stayed once at the KOA in Lebanon, just off I-40. Not bad, not fancy. We now stay at KOA on Music City Parkway, about a mile from Opry Mills mall and just off Briley Parkway. Very nice; will be there for one night next week, returning for 8 nights the first of April. Probably have 50-60 nights there over the last four years. There are two other campgrounds adjacent, Twin Rivers and Jellystone. We drove through them but liked KOA better.

I stayed at Shady Acres for two weeks in February. Right off of I-40 in Lebanon at the main Lebanon exit. It is South on 231 about a mile and a half from the Interstate. Nice folks that run it. Nothing fancy but they do have full hook ups and laundry. No Internet or cable but less than 30 bucks a night. Very quiet as well.

Nashville East KOA, near Lebanon. Stayed there one night in December. As I recall, we didn't have a sewer hookup at our site, but of course there was a dump station. The advantage is that it is right on I-40, very convenient.

Cages Bend, a Corps of Engineers campground on Old Hickory Lake northeast of Nashville off of RTE 386 (Vietnam Veterans Parkway). Spacious sites and most are right on the water. Like most Corp campgrounds, they have water and electric at each site, but no sewer hook ups. Has a dump station though. Also Twin Rivers Campground located next to KOA near Opry Mills Shopping Center. Tight spaces, but less expensive than KOA.

Two Rivers RV Park is really nice. We stayed there for a few nights a couple of years ago, and the concierge scored us tickets to Grand Ole Opry just a few miles away. One of the best live performance shows we have ever seen, and there is not a bad seat in the entire theater!

Last year returning from Texas we stayed at Nashville North KOA of I 75 I have been a KOA member for Many years in our opinion it was one of the worst campsite we have stayed at . Lots of full timers with trailers that had not moved in years and covered with moss. It was so bad I wrote to KOA and told them what I thought. The KOA near the Opryland hotel In directory #9 it think is great close to Grand Ole Opery
Good Luck

Agree. Opry Mills has a lot of good restaurants as well - an excellent mall for getting exercise, Bass Pro shopping, people watching and near two RV dealers and service centers.

Live near Nashville, prefer Two Rivers due as stated above, close to mall and Grand Ole Opry. Nice dinner cruise and show on General Jackson across from mall, believe cg can set you on tickets for both. Take time to go through hotel, acres of indoor gardens that are very maintained along with a couple of indoor water falls. There is water shuttle available near the will drop you off downtown if you you want to take in Nashville suds and music on Honky Tonky row, famous Wild Horse is there, good tourist trap! Nashville Shores cg is great, FROG had good rally there if you are into water parks. If you need a good stop over coming in, COE has several cg s in the area, we like Defeated Creek near home of Al Gore, has some sewer hookups, by far one of the cleanest places we have camped, nice like there. About an hour out on I40.

Another vote for Defeated Creek COE. Very nice, not too many full hookups and they fill quickly. We were there in Sept. Probably the cleanest, most well kept park in the two months that we traveled.

Didn't have a great experience at the YogiBear across from the Gaylord Hotel.. But it did the trick overnight on the way to Florida. DW was comparing it to the Yogi Bear in Caledonia WI.
Never unhitched and we were gone 8 hours later.
