Traveling to Goodlettsville by RV

Interstate 65 provides the main artery into Goodlettsville, with Exit 97 (Long Hollow Pike) serving most RV parks in the area. The drive from Louisville takes about 2.5 hours south, while Atlanta sits roughly 4 hours southeast. Highway 31E runs parallel to I-65 as a scenic alternative, though it involves more traffic lights and slower speeds through small towns.

RV drivers should note that some local roads have tight turns and steep grades typical of Middle Tennessee. Avoid Highway 174 east of town during peak hours, as the narrow bridge over the Cumberland creates bottlenecks. Most campgrounds provide detailed arrival instructions, particularly important for larger rigs navigating residential areas.

Fuel up at the Love's Travel Stop at Exit 97, which offers RV-friendly diesel pumps and a large parking area for maneuvering big rigs. The Pilot Flying J at Exit 95 provides another option with truck/RV lanes. Both locations stock basic RV supplies and offer dump stations if you need a quick stop.

Walmart Supercenter on Rivergate Parkway provides groceries and general supplies with RV-accessible parking. For propane refills, several locations along Highway 31E offer exchanges, though calling ahead ensures availability during busy weekends.
