The popular Holiday Nashville Travel Park has joined the Yogi Bear
Jellystone Park Camp Resort system. Readers may remember that we featured the Nashville, Tennessee RV park previously in this publication. A major part of the attraction of this campground, besides the excellent facilities, was the friendliness of the staff including Manager Ben Payne who more than once assisted us with a campsite when there were very few in the area. Ben also assisted us and many of his other customers with tickets to the Grand Ole Opry when the general public had difficulty getting them. We always enjoyed our visits there and made a point of stopping even if we were just passing through.

When we visited them last year they were busy putting up new signs and erecting the familiar statue of Yogi Bear that graces the entrance to all Yogi Bear Jellystone Parks. The campground owners had decided to become a part of this popular, developing chain so that they might offer the benefits of the Yogi system to their campers. Yogi parks are extremely popular with children and offer special features geared towards the younger campers. The park features long 50 amp pull-through sites with a brand new pavilion, a new snack shack, and live country music most nights.

They have earned a four star rating from Woodalls for facilities and a
five star rating for their fantastic recreation facilities. A large swimming pool, mini-golf, basketball, badminton, V-ball, planned activities and local tours are just a part of the attractions that campers like.

Sites are all pull-through, a total of 238, with a typical site width of 35
feet. 168 sites are full hookup, and there are 62 with water and electric.
They have cable TV and a central modem hook-up. Wireless internet is
available in your RV. The park is just one mile from the Grand Ole Opry and Opry Mills Mall. They are the closest campground to these attractions. They also offer tours of Music City and Opry Star's Homes and can supply tickets for both the Grand Ole Opry (transportation available) and the General Jackson Showboat.

The spacious, shaded sites are close to the campground recreational
features, the two laundromats, convenience store and playgrounds.
They are open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Westbound from I-40 east, exit at #215 (Briley Parkway) , go 5 1/2 miles north on Briley Parkway. Southbound from I-65 N & Briley Parkway Opryland exit go 4 1/2 miles south on Briley Parkway. On Briley Parkway go 1/4 mile west on McGavock Pike, then 1 mile north on Music Valley Drive. The kids will love it there and you probably will too. They still have friendly staff too!
