Safe Harbor RV Resort, Nashville, TN

Safe Harbor RV Resort is located 24 minutes East of downtown Nashville,TN on J Percy Priest Reservoir. This bucolic setting is close to being a resort as it only lacks a restaurant, otherwise pool, beach, cable tv, WiFi, are all inclusive. A shuttle to downtown and boat rentals are available at a reasonable cost. Adjacent to the rv park is a full service marina.  The rv park streets are paved and the large sites are concrete with full length concrete patios, most sites enjoying water views;  sites include picnic tables, charcoal grills, fire pits and offer pull thru’s, back-ins and large buddy sites. This is a relatively small rv park with 126 sites. A 45’ motorcoach with tow did have to unhook at the entrance, however navigating the streets and parking was not an issue as the streets and turning radii are adequate. Although the rv park is located on a two tier sloping hill the pads are extra wide and level with the space between sites mostly crushed stone providing generous space between neighbors. Landscaping is minimal not interfering with our motorcoach  and there are no trees nor overhangs. The FHU is suitable and the 50 amp electric stable. WiFi is included and streaming movies was possible, however with a full rv park buffering was frequent (WiFi signal 87%, -60dBm); OTA (over the air antenna) provided good access to numerous local Nashville HD stations). The registration/welcome center houses the guest check-in, a small store, bathrooms and showers all which were clean and modern. Down the hill and between the two sections of the park is the pool providing a hospitable crystal clear respite from summer’s warmth with ample pool furniture. Adjacent to the pool is a large open air pavilion with stone fireplace and bathouse facilities. Another of few rv parks that offer on line reservations featuring a picture of the actual site with specs (i.e length that can be accommodated, FHU specs, etc) and the ability to book a specific site which in our estimation is a great benefit. The pictures on their website accurately depict the current condition of the campground.

The Takeaway: a fresh clean rv park with well maintained grounds away from the urban clatter. The buildings, as the grounds, are satisfactorily maintained and the contemporary bath/shower facilities sparkling clean. The large concrete pads provide ample space to park; generously wide resulting, in effect, a patio spanning the full length of the pad. The close proximity to Nashville, available shuttle, and lake access for swimming and boating make this a unique place to stay and explore the Nashville area.
