Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

On our recent Tennessee Crossroads adventure we spent a night RV camping at Montgomery Bell State Park. This stunning Tennessee State Park is truly one very impressive place! Originally purchased by the National Park system and built by the CCC in the late 1930s Montgomery Bell State Park was originally over used and deforested wasteland. Today Montgomery Bell State Park is operated by the Tennessee State Park system. This beautiful place has so much to offer! Everything from a golf course to a swim beach and OH so much more! Come along with me as I explore Montgomery Bell State Park!

Mapped with our State Parks To The East, LA, ARK, TN, AL, GA, FLA, SC, NC, VA stops.

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
