Two
Rivers Campground, Nashville Tennessee
By

 Three
days at a campground may not be
time enough to answer all your questions,
but it is long to enough to answer
the question I would ask if limited
to just one. “Would you stay
there again?” The answer to
that question for Two Rivers Campground
is an unqualified, “Yes.”
Two
Rivers is located at 2616 Music
Valley Drive in Nashville. For those
not familiar with Nashville, it
is two miles from the Grand Ole
Opry, Gaylord Opryland Hotel and
Opry Mills. It is next door to Camping
World and well within walking distance
of The Cock of the Walk. You will
want to take the walk to The Cock
of the Walk if you love catfish
or ever just wondered what those
Southerners were talking about.
If
you don’t tow a vehicle, a quick
call from Two Rivers and for a mere
$4, you can ride to all of the aforementioned
attractions with the word “Opry”
in them. You can go from place
to place and back again all the
live long day. We were pleasantly
shocked to be picked up in a black
Lincoln Town Car. Two Rivers will
also arrange for tours or a bus
ride downtown. Along Music Valley
Drive, you will also find a number
of restaurants including: Bob Evans,
Cracker Barrel and Santa Fe Cattle
Company.
 Two
Rivers’ offers several discounts,
and we paid under $32 a night for
a full hookup. They also provide
free wi-fi, a godsend for many of
us, and modem hookups for the less
technologically advanced. There’s
free coffee in the office if you
need a quick pick me up. If
that’s not enough free stuff for
you, they also have free entertainment
several times a week. This is Nashville,
and of course, it will be country
music.
By
my count, Two Rivers has 88 sites
with varying levels of service.
Each site comes with a concrete
patio, tables and chairs. There
is also a light at every hookup
junction. The sites are rock
and level. While my overall feeling
is that the sites are a bit tight,
we saw more really big RVs here
than almost any place I can remember.
For
those of us in less than ritzy RVs,
they have five showers for males
and an equal number for the fairer
sex. The showers are clean, and
the water is hot, but they are small—very,
very small. If you are carrying
more than a few extra pounds, it
will be a tight squeeze. There is
also a laundry, and it costs a dollar
per load.
Two
Rivers has a reasonably good selection
of souvenirs, food and miscellaneous
supplies as well as a pool.
 If
you do nothing but walk through
the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, check
out Opry Mills, and of course, attend
the Grand Old Opry, it will be worth
the trip. However, take a
few minutes to discover the many
things there are to do in Nashville,
from professional and college football
to the NHL to a plethora of music-related
events and museums.
