Playground

Made in the Shade RV Park

30 RV Sites

Made in the Shade RV Park in Granville, Tennessee, offers 30 full-hookup back-in RV sites along the Cumberland River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Open year-round, with a clubhouse, snack bar, dog park, and on-site dining on well-maintained grounds. Thirty full-hookup back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with site WiFi. Accessible sites are available for guests who need them. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and a snack bar handle the practical side, with on-site dining for meals. The park is open all year and welcomes pets. A clubhouse anchors the social side, with a playground, dog park, and walking trails across the grounds. Fishing runs from the river, with biking and picnicking from the property and planned activities through the season. Boating, a golf course, and a state park are nearby. Granville sits on the Cumberland River in Jackson County, a small historic town that has built a genuine visitor identity around its preserved main street and river setting — an unusually pleasant base for a stretch of Middle Tennessee that most travelers pass through rather than stop in. The park suits both weekend getaways and longer stays, and the year-round operation makes it viable well outside the summer window. Summer river recreation and October foliage drive the heaviest demand — reserve ahead for both, and expect Granville's event weekends to tighten availability.

Old Mill Camp

23 RV Sites, 2 Cottages

Directly across the road from Cummins Falls State Park in the rural highlands of Jackson County, Tennessee, Old Mill Camp and General Store occupies a stretch of Blackburn Fork Road that captures the Upper Cumberland's balance of authentic outdoor adventure and small-town Southern character. The waterfall at Cummins Falls—a 75-foot cascade into a sandstone swimming hole that ranks among Tennessee's most beautiful natural swimming destinations—begins just across the highway, making the drive to the day's first adventure a matter of crossing the road rather than loading up the car. Pull-through sites reaching 150 feet and back-in sites up to 100 feet long accommodate the full range of modern RV configurations with room to spare. All RV sites are equipped with sewer hookups and 50-amp electrical service alongside free Wi-Fi, a cooking grill, fire pit, water hydrant, and picnic table—a complete campsite setup that arrives with every reservation. Pull-through configurations range from 130 to 150 feet, and back-in sites from 65 to 100 feet, giving large rigs the maneuvering clearance often missing from smaller Tennessee campgrounds. Cottage rentals operate from March through October for guests seeking a roofed shelter with additional comforts, and a Rent-A-Tent option provides a pre-set campsite with a six-person tent and screened room for guests who want the camping experience without hauling gear from home. Cummins Falls State Park protects the lower Blackburn Fork gorge, a dramatic sandstone canyon where the creek drops 75 feet into a pool that draws swimmers, cliff jumpers, and photographers from across the mid-South during the warm-weather months. The park's gorge-side hiking trail traverses stream crossings and boulders on a route that requires some scrambling and delivers a genuine wilderness feel despite its proximity to Cookeville. The surrounding Upper Cumberland plateau provides additional hiking, caving, and paddling options in a region of Tennessee that remains substantially off the tourist radar compared to the Smoky Mountains corridor to the south. The Old Mill Camp General Store is a destination in its own right—a nostalgic establishment where oldies music plays on the porch, a jukebox entertains inside, and hand-scooped ice cream and bologna-and-cracker sandwiches provide the unpretentious refreshment that defines Upper Cumberland comfort food at its best. Live music on Saturday evenings and a children's playground ensure that evenings at camp carry a social energy complementing the active daytime programming at the falls and surrounding parks. Cookeville, about 15 miles west, offers a full range of urban amenities including the Tennessee Technological University campus, regional dining, and a revitalized downtown arts and restaurant district. Cummins Falls sees its heaviest visitation in July and August when the swimming hole season peaks, making advance campground reservations essential for summer holiday weekends when the state park and the campground fill simultaneously. Spring brings wildflower blooms along the gorge trail and the Upper Cumberland's most photogenic creek conditions before the summer crowds arrive. Fall turns the surrounding hardwood ridges gold and amber in late October, extending the prime camping season well past the swimming hole closure and giving guests a compelling reason to return to the gorge for a second season.

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge

49 RV Sites, 12 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge spreads across 500-plus acres of the Cumberland Plateau near Monterey, Tennessee, delivering an outdoor experience rooted in the landscape itself—waterfalls, caves, spring-fed swimming holes, and miles of hiking and UTV trails built into the plateau's forested terrain rather than layered on top of it. The spacious skies belle ridge campground sits off I-40 at an elevation that keeps summer temperatures noticeably cooler than the Tennessee valleys below, making it a natural refuge for hot-weather camping. The campground offers 68 sites including full hookup RV sites for any rig size, monthly and seasonal options for extended stays, glamping accommodations, and tent sites for traditional campers. The amenity infrastructure includes a general store, laundry facilities, community fire pit, pavilion, dog park, and playground. WiFi is available at campsites throughout the property. The natural amenities, however, are what set Belle Ridge apart: miles of trails through plateau forest lead to waterfalls and hidden caves accessible from within the campground, a natural spring-fed swimming hole with a sandy beach provides the summer's primary gathering point, a secluded hike-in fishing hole gives anglers a backcountry feel without a long approach, and gold panning rounds out the discovery-based activities. Planned activities supplement the natural programming through the season. The Cumberland Plateau is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the eastern United States—a sandstone table elevated above the surrounding valleys, crossed by rivers that have carved dramatic gorges and waterfall corridors through millions of years of drainage. Monterey sits near the eastern edge of the plateau where the terrain drops sharply into the Crab Orchard Mountains, giving Belle Ridge access to the geological complexity that makes this part of Tennessee consistently reward slow exploration. The plateau's cave systems, created by water dissolving limestone beneath the sandstone cap, add an underground dimension to the landscape that is rare among eastern campgrounds of this scale. Fall Creek Falls State Park, about an hour southwest, is home to Fall Creek Falls—at 256 feet, among the highest free-falling waterfalls in eastern North America—and the surrounding state park encompasses additional cascades, gorges, and swimming areas in one of Tennessee's most spectacular natural settings. Burgess Falls State Natural Area, closer to the campground, protects a series of four cascading falls on the Falling Water River in terrain that provides some of the most rewarding short hikes in Middle Tennessee. Rock Island State Park nearby preserves the Great Falls of the Caney Fork River alongside swimming, camping, and geological formations that reflect the plateau's complex hydrology. Nashville is roughly 90 minutes west via I-40, providing a full urban day trip option. Spacious Skies Belle Ridge operates through the Tennessee camping season with spring and fall delivering the most comfortable plateau weather for trail exploration and cave visits. Summer's spring-fed swimming hole becomes the property's social center during hot weather, and the elevated plateau setting shaves several degrees off the temperatures visitors experience in Nashville or Knoxville at the same time. The combination of natural discovery activities—caves, waterfalls, gold panning, spring swimming—with a full-service campground infrastructure makes Belle Ridge one of the more distinctive camping destinations on the Cumberland Plateau.

Elm Hill RV Resort

Nashville is many things — the country music capital, a culinary destination, a bachelorette party hub, a city of unexpected depth and creativity. What it isn't, by reputation, is a city with a 14,000-acre lake lined with sandy beaches and marinas twelve miles from Lower Broadway. That's the hidden advantage of Elm Hill RV Resort, a lakefront property on J. Percy Priest Lake that makes it entirely possible to spend your mornings on the water and your evenings on the Honky Tonk Highway. Every site at Elm Hill RV Resort is a full hookup site built on a level concrete pad, with 50-amp electric service, water, sewer, basic cable TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Each site includes its own fire pit and picnic table, bringing that essential campfire element to what otherwise feels like an upscale resort. Pull-through availability makes arrival simple for large rigs. The on-site marina, golf cart rentals, propane fill service, and gated entry complete a setup that handles both practical needs and leisurely wants in equal measure. Percy Priest Lake provides the natural centerpiece of the Elm Hill experience. The resort's private sandy beach is the gathering place on warm afternoons — swimming in the lake, lounging in the sun, and watching boats cruise in and out of the marina. On-site boat, kayak, and paddleboard rentals mean you don't need to bring your own watercraft to enjoy the full 14,000-acre playground. The boat docks accommodate guests who do bring their own. A covered playground with nearby seating for parents overlooks the water, and shuffleboard and cornhole courts provide easygoing entertainment for all ages. A brand-new bathhouse and laundry facilities round out the amenities. Nashville's magnetic pull means you'll spend at least a few evenings off-property. Lower Broadway's honky-tonks, the Grand Ole Opry, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Ryman Auditorium are all within a 12-mile drive. The city's food scene — from legendary hot chicken to farm-to-table fine dining — is reason enough to plan a trip. For nature lovers, Percy Priest Lake offers dozens of additional access points for hiking, additional launch sites, and quiet coves to explore by kayak. The lake's shoreline parks — including Long Hunter State Park — provide miles of well-maintained trails through cedar glade habitat that is ecologically unique to the Middle Tennessee Nashville Basin. Elm Hill RV Resort is open year-round, and the shoulder seasons of spring and fall are particularly rewarding — the lake is peaceful, the summer crowds have thinned, and Nashville's live music calendar never really slows down. Whether you're here for a weekend of lake life and live music or a longer stay to explore everything Music City has to offer, Elm Hill makes an exceptional home base. Book your site today and stake your claim to that private sandy beach before someone else does.

Unhitched Nashville North

73 RV Sites

Unhitched Nashville North in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, offers 73 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the northern Nashville metro corridor. Buddy sites at both 30 and 50-amp join back-in, pull-in, and water-and-electric pull-through categories, with an outdoor pool, playground, and dog park. Seventy-three sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, pull-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp buddy, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, and pull-thru 50-amp buddy categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The buddy sites are built for two rigs traveling together, which is unusual to find at both amperages. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.

The Broken Banjo RV Park

37 RV Sites, 14 Tent Sites

Halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga in Manchester, Tennessee—in Coffee County at the geographic midpoint of the state where the Highland Rim plateau country delivers its waterfalls, cave systems, and forested creek corridors in a landscape that the surrounding Middle Tennessee tourist infrastructure has only partially discovered—The Broken Banjo Campground offers cabins, glamping tents, RV sites, and primitive tent sites amid the waterfalls and wooded terrain of the Manchester area, with on-site swimming, fishing, hiking trails, mini-golf, and lawn games, and the nearby cultural and geological attractions that make Coffee County's position on the I-24 corridor between Tennessee's two major cities more than a convenient highway stop. The Jack Daniel's Distillery is 30 miles east. Cumberland Caverns is 20 miles north. Old Stone Fort is in town. Cabins, glamping tents, and RV hookup sites provide the accommodation range that serves the weekend family crowd from Nashville and the through-travelers making the Nashville-to-Chattanooga run who want more than a rest stop. Primitive tent sites accommodate the minimalist camper, and the on-site activities—swimming hole, fishing, hiking trails through the surrounding forest, mini-golf, and the lawn games that a campground with a social philosophy provides—create the self-contained daily activity environment that makes a multi-night stay at Broken Banjo genuinely satisfying without requiring a drive off property. Clean bathrooms and showers, WiFi for the connectivity-dependent, and the campground's character as a destination rather than a utility stop complete the experiential infrastructure. Manchester sits in Coffee County on the Duck River's watershed in the Highland Rim plateau country where the geology shifts from the limestone karst of the Central Basin to the sandstone and chert-capped plateau that creates the waterfalls, caves, and the forested escarpments that distinguish the Highland Rim's outdoor character. Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park, within Manchester's city limits, preserves a 2,000-year-old Native American ceremonial enclosure of earthen walls and mounds along the Duck River—one of the most significant Middle Woodland period archaeological sites in eastern North America, and one of the most unexpected world-class historical attractions in the state. Cumberland Caverns, 20 miles north near McMinnville, protects one of the largest show cave systems in the eastern United States—the Volcano Room's lighting and the Civil War-era saltpeter mining artifacts that the cave's tours interpret make it Tennessee's most complete underground experience, and the cave's consistent 56°F temperature makes it a genuinely rewarding destination in the middle of a Tennessee July. Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, 30 miles east, offers the tour of the oldest registered distillery in the United States in the dry county where Tennessee whiskey's defining brand produces its product in the hollow that Jack Daniel chose in 1866 for the iron-free Cave Spring water that he considered essential to the whiskey's quality. Broken Banjo operates year-round in Middle Tennessee's moderate climate, with the spring wildflower season in April along the Duck River corridor, the summer camping peak from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and the fall foliage season in October providing the three most active periods in the campground's annual calendar. The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, held each June on a farm in Manchester, creates the most significant regional demand event in Coffee County's annual calendar. Reserve your site or cabin at Broken Banjo and let the Manchester waterfalls, Cumberland Caverns, and the Jack Daniel's hollow deliver the Middle Tennessee outdoor and cultural experience from the I-24 corridor's most interesting campground address.

Jellystone Park™ Mammoth Cave

159 RV Sites, 77 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers mini-golf, the playground, and the wider amenity set. A splash pad, outdoor pool, and inflatable water toys anchor the summer, with a lake, pond, and beach supporting fishing and swimming. Mini-golf, an arcade, jumping pillow, gaga ball, gem mining, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, and corn hole fill the grounds, with golf cart rentals, a recreation center, pavilion, dog park, community fire pit, on-site dining, and a snack bar besides. Pets are welcome. Mammoth Cave is the longest known cave system on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the park entrance is minutes away. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Off the Hook RV Campground

5 RV Sites

In Nancy, Kentucky—in Pulaski County in south-central Kentucky's Lake Cumberland corridor where the 101-mile reservoir on the Cumberland River creates the largest Army Corps of Engineers lake east of the Mississippi by surface area, the most extensive freshwater boating and fishing destination in the region, and the resort community that the 1,200-plus miles of Lake Cumberland's shoreline has built into the houseboat capital of the world—Off the Hook RV Campground, a Streamside Parks property, provides 31 spacious full hookup sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service on level gravel pads to 50 feet, fire rings and picnic tables at every site, WiFi, 24-hour showers and laundry, a playground, a shaded gazebo, a catch-and-release pond, a ropes-style obstacle course, and complimentary seasonal live music and activities, all less than one mile from Lake Cumberland's shoreline and the 1,200 miles of coves, bays, and forested shoreline that the reservoir's houseboat and pontoon boat culture organizes around. One mile from Lake Cumberland. Obstacle course. Free seasonal music. The 31 full hookup sites—gravel pads to 50 feet with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer—accommodate the full range from the travel trailer to the large fifth wheel or Class A in the Pulaski County campground configuration that the Lake Cumberland outdoor community's RV travel style favors. Each site provides a fire ring and picnic table, and WiFi covers the campground property. The 24-hour shower and laundry access accommodates the lake-day schedule that doesn't always align with the standard check-in and check-out window, and the playground, shaded gazebo, and catch-and-release pond provide the on-property activity for the non-lake morning. The ropes-style obstacle course adds the physical challenge activity that the elementary-school age camper finds engaging between swimming and fishing excursions, and the complimentary seasonal live music evenings create the campground's social calendar without the event-ticket cost. Nancy sits in Pulaski County on KY-80 east of Somerset, in the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park corridor between the lake's Waitsboro and Burnside areas. The lake's 101-mile length and the 1,200-plus miles of shoreline that the Army Corps of Engineers' Wolf Creek Dam on the Cumberland River created in 1951 produce the inland sea character that Lake Cumberland's houseboat fleet—one of the largest concentrations of houseboats in the United States—occupies from spring through fall. The Somerset-Pulaski County waterfront marinas, the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park's lodge and cottages, and the commercial outfitters operating from the Jamestown and Russell County ends of the lake create the recreation infrastructure that the Off the Hook's less-than-one-mile proximity accesses directly. Daniel Boone National Forest, whose eastern boundary passes through Pulaski County, provides 708,000 acres of eastern Kentucky mountain terrain—the Red River Gorge Geological Area and Natural Bridge State Resort Park, both accessible within 90 minutes north on US-27, represent the national forest's most dramatic sandstone arch and canyon landscapes. Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument, 20 miles east, preserves the January 1862 battle site where Union forces decisively defeated the Confederate Army of Central Kentucky—the battlefield museum, the overshot mill, and the monument to General Felix Zollicoffer create the Civil War experience in the Lake Cumberland corridor. Off the Hook RV Campground operates year-round in Pulaski County's temperate Kentucky climate, with the Lake Cumberland boating season from April through October the primary camping window and the spring fishing tournament season—the lake's largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, and crappie fishing attracting the tournament circuit from March through June—the most active angling period. Reserve your site at Off the Hook and let the obstacle course, the seasonal live music, and Lake Cumberland's 1,200 miles of houseboat-covered shoreline deliver the south-central Kentucky lake experience that Pulaski County's most complete RV campground provides.

Soggy Bottoms Campground

11 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Situated alongside the Green River in Casey County near Liberty, Kentucky, Soggy Bottoms Campground is a family-owned outdoor retreat that takes its name from the bottomland character of the river floodplain and delivers a genuine rural Kentucky camping experience centered on the river's fishing, paddling, and swimming resources in a wooded setting well removed from commercial campground infrastructure. The campground's position along the Green River gives it a natural foundation for outdoor recreation that combines the productive fishing and paddling access of a south-central Kentucky river system with the quiet woodland character appropriate to a family-owned property committed to an unhurried outdoor pace. The campground accommodates guests across primitive tent camping and hookup RV configurations, with the wooded riverside character of the property providing natural shade and the ambient sound of moving water that defines the Soggy Bottoms guest experience. Campfire cooking and outdoor cooking on the fire rings are standard features of stays here, and the campground's family-owned character translates to a personalized attention to the guest experience that guests frequently cite as central to the campground's appeal. Clean restroom and shower facilities serve the daily hygiene needs of guests choosing the full-stay experience over a simple overnight stop. The Green River provides the primary recreational focus for guest activity at Soggy Bottoms—a south-central Kentucky river with productive bass, catfish, and panfish fishing accessible from the campground's river frontage. Kayaking and canoeing on the Green River's Casey County section offer paddling on a waterway that flows through wooded lowlands and limestone bluffs in a section of the river upstream from the better-known sections closer to Mammoth Cave National Park. Swimming in the river during the warm summer months is a traditional activity at Kentucky river campgrounds, and the Green River's Casey County character provides a natural pool environment in the wooded bottomland terrain. Casey County and the surrounding south-central Kentucky landscape occupy a position between the Knobs topographic region to the north and the transition zone toward Tennessee's highland rim to the south—a varied terrain of forested ridges, limestone-underlain valleys, and the river systems that drain them toward the Ohio through the Green and Cumberland watersheds. The broader region's connection to Kentucky's outdoor recreation corridor includes access to Green River Lake State Park, Dale Hollow Lake, and—within a longer day-trip distance—Mammoth Cave National Park, one of the world's most extensive cave systems and the natural attraction that most defines south-central Kentucky's visitor identity. Soggy Bottoms Campground is open through the warm-weather outdoor season, with Kentucky's spring through fall climate providing the extended river recreation window that the campground's fishing and paddling orientation demands. Summer is the most active period for Green River swimming and casual fishing, while spring and fall bring the best conditions for more ambitious paddling excursions on the river's wooded Casey County stretches. The campground's family-owned scale means reservation windows can be competitive on summer holiday weekends, and advance contact with the campground is recommended to secure preferred dates during the peak season.
