Tennessee State Parks

[caysea7254]

We r looking for nice State Park within an hour or hour and half from Nashville, Tn. Our son and family want to meet us on some weekends spring summer and fall to camp and usually we camp at Seven points, but not enough to do if you don't have a boat or fish. We like riding our bikes and hiking and swimming. Even parks in Southern central part of Kentucky would be ok. Any suggestions are very appreciated. Thanks Tara

I'll second Montgomery Bell on the west side of Nashville if you like to hike. Some nice trails. Plus they have some full hookup sites if a sewer connection would be helpful.

Right! One time in or out and you learn about the other way! Might be a bit further, but worth it. Just to keep in good with the state folks, the north route is very possible, just carefully with good brakes.

Thanks everyone! We have been to Falls Creek Falls and yes beautiful and yes we went in the steep route!!! Omg we didn't have that steep of grade out in Colorado!!! Didn't realize there was another nice way into park. We just chalked it up to an learning experience. LOL

We love Cumberland Mountain State Park. This may be too far east for you though. If you do get to go be sure to visit the restaurant on Friday or Saturday. Great all you can eat buffet. We will drive there sometimes just to eat.

Fall Creek Falls is nice, there is also Cumberland Mountain State Park around the same area. A little closer towards Nashville is Defeated Creeak, it is right on the lake but there is hiking and biking to be had there as well.

Montgomery Bell, Natchez Trace on the west side. Cedars of Lebanon has a nice canpground that can handle bigger rigs, Edgar Evans is not good due to built-up sites, Absolutely NO to Henry Horton, We liked Rock Island. Fall Creek Falls is nice, but get directions on how to get in from the south side.

When we are on the road we like to use the good ole GOOGLE MAP to find places we might be looking for. Open up a map for the NASHVILLE area and when it loads up type in RV PARKS AND CAMPING in the search line and it will display many RV PARKS on the map. Then you can click on the particular RV PARK to get more info...

Really helps us when we are in new areas looking for a camp ground.
