Buchanan Resort
Overview
Buchanan Resort offers a comprehensive lakeside experience on the shores of Kentucky Lake. This long-standing destination in Springville, Tennessee, has evolved into a premier full-service resort while maintaining a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. It serves as a central hub for water enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of the Tennessee River Valley. Whether you are staying for a short fishing trip or an extended vacation, the resort provides a scenic and functional backdrop for enjoying one of the region's largest bodies of water.
Location & Surroundings
Situated on the western bank of Kentucky Lake, the resort is tucked away in the quiet, rolling landscape of Henry County. The surrounding area is characterized by dense woodlands and the expansive waters of the Tennessee River system. Its proximity to the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge ensures that the natural beauty remains undisturbed, offering travelers a chance to observe local eagles and migratory birds. The location feels remote enough for true relaxation while remaining accessible via well-maintained local roads.

The RV park section of the resort provides sites equipped with full hookups including water, sewer, and both 30- and 50-amp electrical service. Guests have access to essential facilities such as clean bathhouses and laundry rooms to ensure a comfortable stay. Beyond the basics, the resort boasts a full-service marina with boat rentals and fuel, making it easy to get on the water. For cooling off, the swimming pool offers a refreshing break, while the seasonal on-site restaurant, the Oak Tree Grill, provides convenient dining options for the whole family.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is undoubtedly the water, where visitors can enjoy world-class crappie and bass fishing or spend the day leisurely pontooning. Just a short drive away, the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area offers miles of hiking trails and wildlife viewing areas. For a unique day trip, guests can visit the city of Paris, Tennessee, to see the Eiffel Tower replica or explore the charming local shops and museums that celebrate the rich history of the region.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is ideal for boating enthusiasts and anglers who want immediate access to the marina and boat ramps. Its family-oriented environment and recreational amenities make it a top choice for multi-generational vacations where children can enjoy the pool while adults relax by the dock. It is also well-suited for RVers looking for a community-focused atmosphere, as the resort often caters to seasonal guests who return year after year to enjoy the lakeside lifestyle and Southern hospitality.

Buchanan Resort is hidden treasure. A group of friends get together here once a year, fraternity brothers and sisters. There are often over 100 of us who meet to renew our fellowship. You can imagine the difficulty in finding a place to accommodate our needs. For 15 years, Buchanan Resort has been doing just that. I have not heard 1 complaint from anyone about the facilities, staff, or location. Nor has Buchanan Resort ever complained about our being there. We come from across this great nation to hang out with friends, some of whom have know each other for over 50 years. We are grateful to have found such a beautiful place to rest, to socialize, and to "kick-it" until the wee hours of the night. Great marina with great access to Kentucky Lake, LBL, Murray State, and lots of friendly folks. One thing, best to make your reservation well in advance.
