“The perfect spot between Nashville and Shiloh”

Just off the interstate, this nicely landscaped spot is a relaxing and convenient stopover. Nearby Pilot Travel Center can take care of your fuel needs, and you'll find five restaurants less than a mile away. This KOA is a great base camp for exploring local attractions, taking day trips to see the many sights of Nashville or heading out to visit the Shiloh National Military Park. Settle in at a shady Pull-Thru RV Site or an air-conditioned Camping Cabin. Order a hot pizza, and your hosts will deliver it right to your site. Let your dog run and play in KOA's enclosed pet area. Stock up on RV supplies and homemade crafts at the campground store. Attractions include Loretta Lynn's Ranch and Coal Miner's Daughter Museum, Mennonite communities and a local winery. Nearby canoe rentals allow you to experience the mellow woods and wildlife along the Buffalo River. Pool: May 15 - September 15. Max pull thru: 65 feet. Your hosts: Cory, Penny and Mike Barron.

Relatively small campground, located just north of I-40 - easy on/off. Turning north on Hwy 13, turn right just after Log Cabin restaurant - the KOA sign is not prominent and might be missed. Highway noise was not excessive. Relatively new owners, who were very nice and helpful during check-in. Nice pool, clean facilities, cable, and WIFI. Campground is located on a slope, and our particular site was not level fore/aft, which maxed out our leveling jacks; other sites looked more level. Side spacing was OK. Most RV sites are pull-thru. Gravel roads and pads. Shade trees and picnic tables. Looked like just a few sites suitable for big rigs. There are a couple of restaurants close-by. Overall good stop while traveling between Nashville and Memphis. Traveling in 36' 5th wheel. Would return.

Driving through from Texas to DC. Was a very nice place to stop for the night. Good amenities. Nicely maintained, lots of shade, pet friendly. Our only complaint was the price. But you get what you pay for. :)

Freeway access was great, but associated road noise was not.

Stopped in after a long drive. Called for availability and the owner went out of his way to find us a discount. We stayed to do laundry and catch up on chores. It’s a very dated place, but nice and clean. It was noisy but I knew that going into it and didn’t pay attention to it. The restaurant down the road (The Log Cabin) was amazing!
We had no issues with our 30’ class C and will stay here again.

This campground is very conveniently located off I-40. I stopped at the Pilot Station/Arby’s/Cinnabon for gas before checking in. Couldn’t ask for a better overnight stop. $47 with tax and my KOA discount got me a pull through 30/50 amp spot near the bathhouse per my request. Laundromat has 4 washers/$2.00 and 2 giant dryers/$0.25. There’s a nice looking pool, playground, sandpit(?) and a nice k-9 area. The sites are pretty tight but the campground is empty so it doesn’t bother me.

Sitting outside, I can hear the highway noise, but not inside my trailer with the a/c running. I can also hear crickets, cicadas and some kind of birds. Peaceful despite the highway noise.

Bathhouse is typical KOA. Could use renovations but are clean and work fine. The showers are slightly bigger than usual, and they have a dressing area. Toilets are fine too.

This is the smallest KOA we've ever stayed at. It's a Journey so right on the interstate (which is what we wanted) and great for an overnight. The sites are small but the staff have figured out how to make them work for bigger rigs. Friendly and helpful, office and guide were great. FHUs w 50 amp. Able to get level on dirt site w picnic table on concrete slab. Traffic noise and bright lights mean sleeping with windows and blinds closed - slept great. Little store has staples, small swimming pool looked nice and clean. Even though we were in the trees, we were able to get satellite.

Nice KOA for a one night stay. The sites were a little tight (but not compared to some KOAs) and we fit without unhooking, so that was nice. The pool and playground were nice and clean (even had toys for the kids at both). The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a cute little community area for bonfires with rocking chairs.

Stopped for 1 night while heading west. There is some road noise since it's right off I-40. Park is rustic, lots of trees, with dirt roads and gravel sites. Our site (like most) sloped down in the front, but we had no problem leveling. Camp host was friendly. We would stop here again. We camped at Buffalo / I-40 / Exit 143 KOA Journey in a Motorhome.
