Some RV parks shut the water off and lock the gate after Labor Day. A year-round park keeps the hookups live, the office staffed, and the sites bookable through every season, which is exactly what you need if you are a traveling worker on a long assignment, a Fort Campbell family settling in, or a snowbird routing through the mid-South in the colder months.
Clarksville sits on I-24 between Nashville and the Kentucky border, and Tennessee winters here are mild compared to the Midwest or the Plains: cold snaps come and go, but hard, sustained freezes are the exception. Clarksville RV Resort runs all four seasons with full hookups, 50-amp service, and monthly rates built for extended stays. Here is what to know about staying near Clarksville year-round.
Why Clarksville Works for Year-Round RV Living
Open All Four Seasons
Clarksville RV Resort keeps the hookups live and the office staffed through every season. That continuity is the whole point of a year-round park: you can book a monthly site in January the same way you would in July, and the 50-amp service keeps electric heat running through a Tennessee cold snap. Mild winters here mean hard freezes are the exception, not the rule, so heated-hose precautions are occasional rather than constant.
Built for Extended Stays
Monthly rates start at $800 with full hookups included, which lands well below a hotel room over a 30-day stay. The park is built for three guest types at once: I-24 corridor travelers, Fort Campbell visiting families, and traveling workers on monthly rates. Full hookups, 24-hour laundry, a camp store, and a fenced dog park make the daily logistics of a long stay manageable in any season.
A Mile Off I-24 at Exit 1
The park sits a mile off I-24 at Exit 1, with a clean on-off that travelers cite as the reason they pull in. Downtown Clarksville’s Riverwalk, the Customs House Museum, and Beachaven Vineyards are 10 to 15 minutes away. Nashville is 45 minutes south, and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is 45 minutes northwest for hiking and fishing year-round.

Clarksville RV Resort by RJourney
Clarksville RV Resort by RJourney sits at 1270 Tylertown Road, a mile off I-24 at Exit 1, and operates year-round across all four seasons. The location works on three fronts at once: an overnight for travelers running I-24 between Nashville and the Kentucky border, a home base for families visiting Fort Campbell, and an extended-stay option for traveling workers and contractors in the Clarksville and Hopkinsville area. Full hookups with 30/50-amp electric, a swimming pool, a fenced dog park, a playground, a pavilion, propane sales, a camp store, and 24-hour laundry round out the stack. Cabins are available for guests traveling without an RV. The all-season operation and monthly rates make it a practical year-round base in northern Middle Tennessee.
Sites & Hookups
Every full-hookup site carries water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric in pull-through and back-in configurations, which is what makes a year-round stay workable: the 50-amp service runs a Class A or fifth wheel with multiple AC units through a Tennessee summer and keeps electric heat going through a winter cold snap. Water-and-electric-only sites are available at a lower rate for travelers who can dump on departure. Pull-throughs at the front of the park handle big rigs without a tight backing maneuver after a long I-24 day. A dump station serves registered guests at no charge and the public at $15; a freshwater fill station serves guests free and the public at $5.
What's On-Site
The pool runs during the warmer months from 10 AM to 8 PM, and the fenced dog park gives dogs an off-leash run all year. The 24-hour laundry handles late loads without a hard cutoff, which matters for monthly guests through the winter. The camp store carries propane, firewood, and RV supplies, so the basics stay on-property between town runs. The pavilion handles group gatherings and weekend cookouts, and cornhole, seasonal movie nights, and themed bingo round out the activity calendar in season. WiFi covers the property with basic browsing free and an upgraded streaming tier available.
What Guests Say
4.2 stars across 895 Google reviews. The most consistent compliment is I-24 convenience: travelers running the corridor between Nashville and Kentucky use Exit 1 because the on-off is clean and the pull-throughs are long enough to skip a backing maneuver. Fort Campbell families return because the park stays reliably close to base, and the pool, dog park, staff, and cabin cleanliness are the amenity themes that show up most. The trade worth knowing: I-24 proximity cuts both ways, so highway noise reaches the back-row sites closest to the interstate while front-row and interior sites stay quieter, and Fort Campbell helicopters pass over the area periodically. Single-night pricing runs higher per night than multi-night and monthly rates, so the value lands strongest on longer stays, which suits the year-round and extended-stay crowd.
Other RV Parks Near Clarksville, TN
Clarksville RV Resort is the closest full-amenity year-round park to I-24 Exit 1, but a few other options serve RV travelers in the area. Seasonal availability and hookup levels vary, so confirm year-round operation before you plan around them.
Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area
Land Between the Lakes spans 170,000 acres between Kentucky and Barkley lakes, with developed and primitive campgrounds, the Elk and Bison Prairie, and miles of trails. Several campgrounds are seasonal and close in winter, and full hookups are limited, so it reads as a warm-season recreation base rather than a year-round home for an RV. Confirm which campgrounds are open before a cold-weather trip. Visit website.
Piney Campground
Piney is one of the larger developed campgrounds in Land Between the Lakes, with lakefront and wooded sites, a beach, and a boat ramp on Kentucky Lake. It operates seasonally and is not a year-round option, but it is a strong warm-weather destination a short drive from Clarksville. Check the open-season dates before booking. Visit website.
Two Rivers Campground
Two Rivers Campground sits near the confluence of the Cumberland and Stones rivers in Nashville, with full-hookup pull-through and back-in sites and easy access to downtown attractions. It is a solid full-hookup alternative if your plans pull you toward Nashville, though it is farther from Fort Campbell and the I-24 northern corridor. Visit website.
Things to Do from Your Clarksville RV Base Year-Round
The Cumberland River runs through downtown Clarksville, where the Riverwalk gives easy access for walking and fishing year-round. Land Between the Lakes, 45 minutes northwest, sits between Kentucky and Barkley lakes for boating and fishing in the warmer months, though several of its campgrounds close in winter. Closer to home, the Red River meets the Cumberland near downtown for quieter paddling.
Dunbar Cave State Park, minutes from the park, has year-round hiking trails and a cave that anchors the local geology. Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, 45 minutes northwest, has hundreds of miles of trails, the Elk and Bison Prairie, and the Woodlands Nature Station, much of it open through the colder months. Fort Donelson National Battlefield, west of Clarksville, stays open year-round for Civil War history.
Downtown Clarksville is 10 to 15 minutes away with the Customs House Museum, the Riverwalk, and Beachaven Vineyards. Nashville is 45 minutes south on I-24 for music, food, and the major attractions. Fort Campbell sits just north on the Kentucky line, which keeps the park busy with visiting military families year-round.
Seasonal Guide for Year-Round RV Travelers in Clarksville
Winter (December through February)
Mild by RV-travel standards. Cold snaps come through, but sustained hard freezes are uncommon in northern Middle Tennessee. The park stays open with live hookups and a staffed office, and the 50-amp service handles electric heat. Use a heated water hose on the occasional freeze night, and the off-season is the strongest monthly-rate value window.
Spring (March through May)
Green-up and comfortable temperatures bring trail and river season back. Rain is common, so plan for a few wet days. A good window for Dunbar Cave and Land Between the Lakes as the seasonal campgrounds reopen and crowds stay manageable.
Summer (June through August)
Warm and humid, with highs in the 80s to low 90s. The pool runs 10 AM to 8 PM and the 50-amp service keeps multiple AC units going. Peak travel season on I-24, so book ahead for shorter stays, especially around Fort Campbell events.
Fall (September through November)
One of the best windows here: crisp days, cooler nights, and color across Land Between the Lakes. Humidity drops and trail conditions are ideal. Easier availability after the summer rush, and a comfortable time to settle in for a monthly stay before winter.
Practical Tips for Year-Round RV Travelers in Clarksville
Tennessee winters are mild, but cold snaps happen. A heated water hose and a little freeze prep cover the occasional hard-freeze night without a frozen line.
50-amp service runs multiple AC units through summer and electric heat through winter without tripping. Request 50-amp if you run a Class A or large fifth wheel year-round.
Monthly rates start at $800 with full hookups, and winter is the strongest value window. The longer the stay, the better the per-night math compared with single-night pricing.
I-24 proximity makes the park easy to find but means back-row sites pick up highway noise, and Fort Campbell helicopters pass over periodically. Ask for a front-row or interior site for quiet.
The camp store carries propane, firewood, and RV supplies, so you can cover the basics on-property between trips into Clarksville, which is handy on cold or rainy days.
