Clarksville RV Park

The Great Outdoors

Book an RV in Montgomery County, and you are one step closer to a vacation that will be everything you expect and more. Once you're behind the wheel of your motorhome rental, head for the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, a peninsular area that is exactly what the name implies, situated between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. This multi-use park straddles the state borders of Kentucky and Tennessee and is both a public outdoor recreation area and a wildlife refuge. During your visit, you'll have a chance to observe an elk and bison prairie; a circular road takes you through the prairie where you can also spot varieties of birds, butterflies, and prairie mammals. You will require an enclosed vehicle for safety reasons, but this is a perfect use for your RV rental.Big Sandy Unit Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1945 to act as a sanctuary for migrating bird species. The park consists of open waters, mudflats, and forest stands that provide a home for birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians that reside here year-round; it also houses a number of wildlife species that are endangered. While you're here, you can enjoy hunting and fishing as well as hiking trails and observation decks where you can watch and photograph the wildlife and the scenery. The refuge offers environmental education experiences that include self-guided walks incorporating signs, brochures, electronic media, ranger-led programs, and much more. Topics range from habitats, management strategies, and endangered species to plants and seasonal migration.Cheatham Wildlife Management Area is a multi-purpose refuge where you can enjoy hiking, nature observation, and hunting. The area provides natural resources such as timber to the local community and food plots that are used to feed the white-tailed deer that reside here. Hunting is allowed for the deer, turkey, and squirrels; if you're hiking here during hunting season, you should wear bright, neon-colored clothing as a precaution. There is a shooting range with paper targets on-site, and you should check ahead to find out when it is open. Park your rental RV on the outskirts, and you can finish your activities with a hot beverage and a comfortable chair.

Exploring The Area

At some point, you should spend some time in Tennessee's urban areas, soaking up the culture and attractions you'll find here. Paris is a smallish city that was named, as you can imagine, after the famous French city and it has a smaller replica version of the Eiffel Tower in tribute. The city also has the Back Alley Paris, a series of alleyways with murals that illustrate its history and the history of its namesake. If you're looking for more exercise, there's an 18-hole golf course you can try your hand at; if not, head for the local winery where you can relax and sample the local vintages.If you head for Camden, you'll find several museums of note; one of them is a freshwater pearl farm that is attached to a marina. You need to call ahead to arrange a tour during which they will show and explain how the pearls are cultivated. You can purchase some pearl jewelry while you're here. The town has a drive-in movie theater and a memorial to country and western idol Patsy Cline. Camden has a good assortment of inexpensive restaurants to choose from when it's time to eat. One of them is a barbecue joint that's open for lunch and dinner.Vacations are the time when everything should be uncomplicated, delightful, and easy-peasy; camping at Clarksville RV Park puts you on the right path for a relaxing, entertaining Tennessee adventure.
