Nashville, Tennessee pt.2


 



Nashville was a convenient place to stop and have a little fun on our way back across the country. We stayed at the Nashville KOA.



















2626 Music Valley Dr.
Nashville, Tennessee
(615) 889-0286

This
RV park is really nice! On our first trip to Nashville we stayed here,
and had no reason to try anything else. They have tons of amenities...
Full hookups
Wide level spots
Patio furniture w/ fire pit
Pool, Jacuzzi and sauna
Playground for the kids
etc...

There
is a shuttle available that will take you into downtown Nashville.
However, the shuttle is not wheelchair accessible and does not have a
lift. On my first trip to this RV park my big complaint was that I
couldn't find the trashcan. This trip I figured out how it works... Each
morning your bagged trash gets picked up from your site (how great is
that).

Downtown Nashville is NOT wheelchair friendly. The city is
built on sleep hills and the sidewalks are in poor condition. I did
find that C Street is definitely manageable. It's mostly flat with
restaurants, bars and plenty of shopping. This is the place to go.



The
Country Music Hall of Fame should not be missed and is definitely
doable in a wheelchair.… As long as you get dropped off in the front of
the building. The best parking for this is at a close by church
parking lot. It will cost you about $7 for the day. In different areas
throughout the city there is underground parking around $15.

Close
to the Nashville KOA is the Grand Ole Opry. I wanted to visit The Opry
but it was very expensive, so I chose to go downtown instead. In
hindsight I wish that I had spent the money, because downtown was
extremely difficult... Maybe next time.
