We LOVED this KOA. Bathrooms alone are worth staying there! Very nice private and large bathrooms and showers. Showers had the perfect pressure. I stayed in an RV and was able to stay near the cabin my group rented and they LOVED the deluxe cabin. So comfy and very well done. Very easy to get in and out. Will stay here again when heading through Tennessee for sure. Very friendly staff as well.

Very nice park, with plenty of trees. No frills. Utilities were good. WiFi was very good. Office closed at 5:00, so can’t comment on the staff. Location was convenient to interstate, which also means fairly loud road noise. Overall a good overnight stop.
Dale Lyn
Very nice KOA. Well maintained. Staff super nice and helpful. Sites are ample. Stayed for 1 week. Only downside, there are no stores, shopping close by. Closest is 1/2hr away. Would definitely stay here again. Loretta Lynn's Ranch is worth a visit.
Valarie Hamilton
Excellent for a night or 2.We stayed 4 nights. Only reason I gave it a four out of five is even though it's conveniently near the highway the noise is pretty intense and had to wear earplugs. Also sites are very angled but it's tennessee so not much to be done there. Otherwise very friendly and quiet park with great facilities. Would recommend for a short trip.
Tori Jones
Very nice campground. Close to the interstate easy in and easy out. We stayed a couple nights while visiting family in Dickson. Parks closer were filled. So we were mostly in the park at night to sleep. We felt very safe and being close to interstate it was very quiet inside the RV. I recommend this park and would stay here again. Log Cabin restaurant at this exit 143 was excellent.
