Natchez Trace Wilderness Preserve: Hohenwald, Tennessee
This is a Thousand Trails/Naco Park
Link to Thousand Trails Natchez Trace site

Overall Rating (7) average park

We liked this park, the park is a little old but the people are friendly. The park is very large with quite a few annual sites. About half of the sites have full hook ups and the remainder only have water and electric. Its a nice 1-1/2 hour drive to Nashville, Hohenwald has a Wal-Mart and it is only about 15 minutes away. Read more on our travels to this park and the area.

Located right off the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway, 830-acre forested preserve features a large 3 mile long lake, pontoon tours, and excellent fishing for bass, shellcracker, crappie and more. Not far away, Nashville offers many sports and entertainment attractions. Other interesting day trips include Loretta Lynn's Dude Ranch in Hurricane Mills and the home of President James Polk in Columbia.

Middleton, Tennessee

Cherokee Landing Wilderness Preserve: Middleton, Tennessee
This is a Thousand Trails/Naco Park
Link to Thousand Trails Cherokee Landing Site

Overall Rating (6) average park

We would have gave this a higher rating except for the amount of full hook-ups. This park is huge with 6-10 full hook-up's. Very laid back park with not much going on. We loved the deer and peacefulness of this place. Memphis is about 1-1/2 hour away. Middleton, Tennessee is only about 15 minutes away. Read more on our travels to this park and the area.

Peaceful valleys and green velvet hills provide a perfect backdrop to this preserve's scenic lake. The fishing is good from your boat or the lake's bank. Memphis provides paddle-wheel riverboat cruises reminiscent of the Mark Twain days, Elvis Presley's Graceland Mansion, an 1800s Victorian Village which includes 18 landmarks, Beale Street, the city's trademark and tribute to "the blues", and much more!
