This gorgeous blue lake is home to several fish species, such as sunfish, bass, perch, and catfish. The lake is restocked annually to preserve the healthy population of fish. There are a couple of boat ramps available to visitors who go camping at Cove Lake. When you don’t have your vessel, you may rent one at a nearby marina and use it for fishing.

The city of Ozark is one of the favorite stops for people who go motorhome camping in the area. It is located at River Valley Region, surrounded by woods and breathtaking landscapes. The city is not very large, but there are many sights to visit in the downtown area that could be very interesting for first-time visitors.

It was the perfect vehicle to transport my elderly father to his new assisted living home. The hosts were very helpful and kind.

Syd the Solis was an awesome experience! My two young sons and I enjoyed everything about it and made awesome memories in the Smoky mountain national park. So many convenient amenities packed into the van made being out in the wilderness almost like being at home! The kids loved sleeping in the pop top, and the Murphy bed was so comfortable for me! Nothing like a hot water outdoor shower in the mountains while cooking awesome meals. We even rented 2 E-bikes that fit on a rack that Syd was able to carry! We saw so much, did so much, and made so many memories! Also, the van drives and handles extremely well in the curvy and steep roads in that area! I definitely recommend this RV van for you small group vacation!

The RV was perfect for our 4 nights camping in the smoky mountains! Nate walked us through everything we needed to know before taking off and helped us hook up. Communication was easy and the extras in the camper (cups, bowls, paper towels, etc) were super handy. Was a great RV experience!
