Tennessee, America at its best

After leaving Campbellsbille, KY, we decided to stop briefly in Tennessee, just north of Knoxville in Heiskill a the Escapees Racoon Valley Campground. We used our Escapee club membership to get a 50% discount of $17.50 per night which is a real value. The campground was almost full with many people staying multiple months. The campground had about 60 sites all with full hook-ups. The day after we arrived a pot luck was sheduled with entertainment from some locals which were really entertaining.

Defeated Creek Campground, Carthage, TN

We arrived in Defeated Creek Campground after many a winding road that the GPS advised was the quickest route. The campground is located on Cordel Hull Lake. It is a Corps of Engineer area and very well planned. We have site 124 which has plenty of "elbow" room and it has a view of the lake. On our way from Memphis, TN, we stopped briefly in Nashville to get the oil changed in our rig. It's first oil change went off without a hitch. I recommend Mid-Tenn Ford Dealer in Nashville if you need work
