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.

This is a small, immaculately kept KOA very convenient off of I40. We had a beautiful, level site with a table, chairs, Blackstone griddle with propane and a stone fire pit. There is food and gas within a half mile of camp making it so easy for a one or two night stop while traveling. We had an issue with our rig that required a mobile mechanic to come to our site. Mike, the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful and checked on us through the entire ordeal. Highly recommended.

Great stop on I-40 between Pigeon Forge TN and Little Rock AR. Traffic noise was loud from the highway. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. WiFi was good and strong. Able to stream without difficulty. Great 4G cell service for Verizon. Sites were very close together.

The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They had an excellent array of goods for sale in the store. The laundry room and canine facilities were excellent.

Real nice, near I-40. They are right now doing remodeling to the office. It's apparent that they have been working on the roads and sites too. Staff are very nice and helpful.

We frequently stay at KOA rustic cabins when we travel to our home in Florida from Michigan. We try and stay at different ones ever time as we enjoy the experience and prefer it to hotels. We have never experienced the lack of care, up keep and cleanliness that this location had given. The place was not busy so you would think that the ability for the owners to clean and prepare for incoming guess would be great but it was not. We had reservations for over two weeks prior so it was not a surprise that we were going to be there. Upon receiving our key for our cabin we opened the door and were greeted by mounds of hair and filth in the cabin. The deck and surrounding areas had not been cleared off as every other one that we’ve ever been to had been. The bathroom facilities were by far the worst we’ve ever experienced with mystery hair everywhere, foul smells and clogged sink. Trashes were full when we got there and they were not emptied by the time we left the next day . As we stated before we stay in rustic cabins all the time and do not understand how a owner could neglect their business to this extent. On the bright side the small KOA does offer pull through sites for campers and I’m sure you can get those at a reasonable price the lots did not look level nor was the road graded but was very drivable.
