I-40 in NC to Mammoth Cave Kentucky ?

Question

OK so Google shows me peeling off I-40 in Tennessee in Cookeville and heading north on Hwy 84. Then it's all two lane from there, mostly. Lot's of stop-n-go I'm sure.
However I was looking at staying on 40 all the way to Nashville then I-65 North from there. Campground is close to 65.
I realize it'll add more mileage but the time could be almost the same or less, and be almost 100% interstate.

Thoughts???

231 north from Lebanon is a scenic Nashville bypass.

I-40 exit 215, then go north on Briley, take exit 15 to I-65.  Pay attention to the signs, and get the right direction, it's a good road.

I have used the 231 north from Lebanon TN many times heading north, as I live south of Lebanon. Good scenic 2 lane road with very little traffic, that will miss all of Nashville. Once at Glasgow KY, then take Hwy 90 or Cumberland Parkway to I-65
