eXplore Brown County

11 RV Sites, 14 Tent Sites, 5 Onsite RV/Trailers

eXplore Brown County in Nashville, Indiana, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites, 14 tent sites, and five named retro camper rentals — Betty, Gladys, Lucy, Sophia, and Wanda — across 500-plus acres of hardwood hills, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Zip lines, a four-acre fishing lake, and an event gallery make this the most activity-dense outdoor complex in the state. Sixteen back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables; water-and-electric sites are also available. Fourteen tent sites and the five retro campers round out the accommodations. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Recreation is the entire proposition. Fourteen zip lines, two sky bridges, and a rappelling tower run through the canopy above the forested ridges, including the longest, fastest, and highest twin zip line in Indiana. A four-acre lake supports fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boat rentals, with mountain biking, hiking, walking trails, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, and a playground besides. A recreation center and cabins fill out the property, and off-roading is nearby. The Gallery serves as a wedding and event venue, seating up to 165 guests indoors with additional porch seating. Pets are welcome. The property sits within the landscape of Brown County State Park, Indiana's largest, 15 minutes from the artists' village of Nashville. Southern Indiana's hardwood hills make this one of the Midwest's most celebrated fall color destinations. October foliage and summer adventure programming drive demand. With 16 RV sites on a property this busy, reserve well ahead.

Myers Landing RV Resort

12 RV Sites, 8 Motel Rooms

Myers Landing RV Resort in Springville, TN, offers 12 full-hookup RV sites and 8 motel rooms, with 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Note the electrical: the resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and eight motel rooms for guests without a rig cover the rest. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, a game room, a pavilion, a playground, volleyball, and corn hole fill the grounds — a lot of amenity for 12 sites. Springville sits on the western shore of Kentucky Lake in Henry County, where the Tennessee River's impoundment creates one of the largest and most productive inland recreation lakes in the eastern United States, with boating right there. Rates for sites and rooms are on the booking page. Twelve sites on Kentucky Lake means summer fills fast — reserve ahead.

Old Mill Camp

23 RV Sites, 2 Cottages

Old Mill Camp in Cookeville, TN, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites and 2 cottages, with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. The maximum rig length in the record isn't reliable, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. A general store, firewood, WiFi, and a playground cover the essentials. The property is gated and guests are issued the code at booking. Pets are welcome. Walking trails and hiking fill the grounds, and the general store is a genuine one rather than a vending nook. Old Mill Camp sits directly across the road from Cummins Falls State Park in the rural highlands of Jackson County, on Blackburn Fork Road. From I-40, take Exit 280 toward Baxter and Gainesboro and head north on Highway 56, following the directional signs. The falls are among the most dramatic swimming holes in Tennessee. Rates for sites and cottages are on the booking page. Cummins Falls limits gorge access by permit in season — check that alongside your reservation.

Four Corners RV Resort & Marina

76 RV Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers, 2 Tiny Houses, 4 Boat Bungalows

Percy Priest Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Dedicated fifth wheel categories join lakeside and deluxe back-in tiers, with a marina, pool, fitness center, and bar. Eighty-two back-in sites span deluxe east, deluxe west, lakeside east, fifth wheel deluxe, fifth wheel lakeside, and fifth wheel standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Dedicated fifth wheel categories are genuinely uncommon and worth knowing about if that is what you tow. Six boat bungalows and tiny houses plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Check-in is 2pm and checkout noon, with early and late options for a fee. The marina anchors the property, with boat rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and fishing. An outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, golf cart rentals, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest, with live music through the season. Twenty miles from downtown means kayaking at sunrise and a Broadway honky-tonk by evening. Summer lake season and Nashville's event calendar both drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Kaskaskia River Camping & RV Park

34 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Kaskaskia River Camping and RV Park in New Athens, Illinois, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites and seven tent sites on the riverbank, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 90 feet. Back-in categories at four amp combinations join pull-in and pull-through tiers, with a pavilion and direct river access. Thirty-four sites span back-in 20/30/50-amp, back-in 20/50-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in 50-amp, pull-in 20/30/50-amp, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 90 feet. Listing the exact amp combination in every category removes any doubt about what you are plugging into, and 90 feet accommodates anything on the road with room to spare. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A pavilion handles the practical side. The river carries the recreation, with boating, fishing, hiking, and biking all from the property. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates low and suits a park built around the water rather than on-site programming. Pets are welcome. St. Clair County sits in the rolling agricultural country between East St. Louis and the old river towns of the American Bottom. The Kaskaskia is Illinois's second-longest river and runs navigable here, with a lock and dam system and good catfish and bass water. St. Louis is about 40 minutes northwest, which makes this a quiet base for the metro without metro pricing. Summer drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall fishing strong and considerably easier availability. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.
