South side of Nashville - is there nothing?

We have camped at the KOA on the north side of Nashville, but we have a college visit at Lipscomb coming up in 3 weeks and I can't find anything (private, public, community, etc.) on the south side near the I-65 corridor.

Walmart parking lots? Any other suggestions?

    Do a search on Tennessee State Fairgrounds & Expo Center on the So. Side of the city not far off of I-65. This used to be the site of Fan Fare Country Music Show before they moved to the stadium in town. It was a great deal for RVr's for the shows. Used to go every yr. and maybe walk 1/4mi. to the gate.

    Good Luck

  • Seven Points Corps of Engineers Park on J. Percy Priest Lake is a short drive south east of the city on I-40. Beautiful campground with many lake front sites.
  • South of Nashville is the town of Franklin one of the most "high class" rich singers yet a "old country" town. Lots of luck looking.

    There is Montgomery Bell State park and Henry Horton SP each some distant from Lipscomb

    There is a park in Smyrna and also in Murfreesboro.

    There is also COE parks near Smyrna.
  • Search for Gramdma's on I 65, a few mile South of Nashville. Maybe out of town more than you desire.
  • Seven Points opens 4 01 14 and is booked solid. Always is and is probably half empty. I would say with 840 being completed Montgomery Bell would be your best choice. Larry
  • You might want to stay at the Tennessee Livestock Center, Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), 1720 Greenland Dr., Murfreesboro, TN., which is about 30-40 minutes from Nashville, off the interstate. IIRC, they have both 30 and 50 amp and water. A dump station is also available. There's at least 25 hookups. Restaurants are close by and WalMart is about 1.5 miles away. Campus security patrols the area but I've never felt unsafe. I paid $115.24/wk that included tax.

    Call Bonnie at 615-898-5575 for reservations. I've always enjoy my stays.
