13mi from Nashville · 1 site · Tent, RV · Goodlettsville, TN

Welcome to Hidden Valley Haven, a peaceful 11-acre retreat tucked just outside Nashville where the stars shine bright and the sounds of nature echo through the woods. Designed for self-contained RV travelers, our property offers a rustic, no-frills escape into Tennessee’s countryside — complete with electric, water, and a septic dump spot. Bring your own RV and choose between two private camping spots: 🌲 Forest Retreat Site – Tucked deeper into the property for maximum seclusion and wooded charm. To access it, you’ll back in about a football-field length on gravel. 🌊 Creekside Site – Near the small bridge, offering easier access while still surrounded by trees and nature. Each site is spaced roughly a football field apart, ensuring privacy while sharing a peaceful, family-managed space. Hosts live on-site nearby and maintain other guest properties, but your area is separate and private. ✅ Site Amenities: • 30/50-amp electric hookup • Fresh water access • Private septic dump station (not directly plumbed to RV site) • Spacious gravel pad for slide-outs, awnings, and chairs • Rustic fire ring area (BYO firewood, observe burn bans) • Wooded views and light nature trails on-site 🚷 Boundaries & Hiking Access: Guests are welcome to explore within Hidden Valley Haven’s private 11 acres, including the gravel drive, wooded trails west of the road, and the Potential Hiking Area shown on our property map. Please do not go beyond any “No Trespassing” signs, fences, or the top of the hill past the RV sites, as the adjoining land belongs to our neighbors. The property maps in our photo gallery clearly show: • Guest zones (RV sites, trails, drive, and hiking area) • Family-only zones (home, pool, volleyball) • Neighboring no-access land (highlighted in yellow) Staying within the marked zones keeps everyone safe and ensures good relations with nearby landowners. 🔔 Before Booking: • Bring your own RV. • Access road and bridge are solid gravel but can be muddy after heavy rain. • No smoking, parties, or loud music. • Pets must stay leashed and within guest zones. • RV waste must be dumped only at the approved station. Perfect for travelers seeking a quiet, starlit place to recharge — close enough to Nashville, yet far enough to hear the crickets sing.

26mi from Nashville · 1 site · RV · Gallatin, TN

***PRIVATE PROPERTY – SINGLE SITE RENTAL*** Tranquil Countryside Hideaway in Gallatin, Tennesee Enjoy peaceful country living just 3 miles from Gallatin Square and 35 minutes from all the excitement of Nashville’s “Music City.” The site offers easy access, plenty of parking, and a deck where you can relax and take in the stunning sunsets. Full sewer, water, electrical hookups, and utilities are included in pricing, along with weekly trash removal. The property is fully surrounded by trees for privacy and features a small seasonal pond and creek; perfect for a quiet walk in nature. There’s also plenty of open space for gardening, outdoor games, or playtime with the kids. You’ll love winding down around a real campfire (permit required) under a sky full of stars. As your on-site hosts, we’re happy to share local recommendations for live music, great food, and the many natural treasures nearby. Tennessee boasts more waterfalls than any other state (so they say!), and the ones we’ve explored are breathtaking. You’ll also find abundant opportunities for hiking, water recreation, sports, hunting, and exploring the region’s deep history. Please note: We live near a working family farm, so you may hear farm activity or notice farm smells, depending on the direction of wind. If that might be an issue for you or anyone in your group, we kindly ask that you not make a reservation, as we cannot offer refunds for this reason. No hunting is permitted on the property. Per our insurance provider, by renting from us, you agree to assume full responsibility and liability for yourself, your guests, and your property during your stay. We simply ask that you treat our home and land with the same respect and care that we give it. If that sounds like a good fit, we’d love to welcome you to our little piece of Heaven in Tennessee! P.S. We already have a discount in place for extended stays. Request via message and we'll send. Also, Hipcamp does not allow for communication outside of the app until the site is booked, so please refrain from adding your phone number or email in your messages to us so they don't get blocked.

16 nights at Hidden Valley Haven

We loved staying at Hidden Valley. The rv spot is surrounded by trees, a cute little creek, a hiking trail, plus full hookups & wifi. Family and dog friendly space, yet feels quite private. Only about 25min to downtown Nashville! It's the perfect spot, a nature lovers delight ❤️

1 night at Tranquil Countryside Hideaway

Super responsive host, happy to come out and meet so that I can get in the site easily in the dark, and easy access to everything I needed, as well as the highway down the road. Was exactly what I needed after a bunch of nights working long hours, for a quiet place to park and relax

We enjoyed our stay here, it was a nice and private spot in front of an unoccupied little house with a porch we could use. Around 45 minutes from Nashville. Few farm animals roaming around which was cool. Thanks again for letting us staying Cristy.
