Memorial Day Weekend: Camping!

May 26 – 28 marks Memorial Day Weekend! A time to honor and reflect upon those who have served and died for our great country. Thank you, all, for your service and commitment to our freedom. 

The weather we've had here in Nashville this month has been beyond incredible, with temperatures in the mid-80s nearly everyday. This Memorial Day Weekend, we're recommending hitting the lake with your family and friends and our pick this year is Harrison Bay State Park just outside of Chattanooga, TN.

Mother's Day Gift Idea

Each year you spend the week before Mother's Day scanning Amazon and Ebay for a gift before breaking down and buying a gift card. Sound familiar? We've all been there. But this year, do something different. Choose to make memories and spend some time camping with your mother!

There are 36  state parks in Tennessee with campgrounds, and numerous getaways within a two hour drive of Nashville. Some of our favorites include:

At Camp South RV in Nashville we take care of all the supplies, always free of charge. Tell mom to relax, we'll prep the RV with all the sheets, linens, kitchen ware, and outdoor supplies. You just bring the food and hit the road.
