Traveling to Clarksville by RV

US Route 58 serves as your main artery into Clarksville, running east-west through town and connecting to I-85 approximately 25 miles to the east near South Hill.

The state park entrance off US 58 has a dedicated motorhome access road that's well-maintained year-round.

Overnight parking options are limited in the immediate area. The closest truck stops with motorhome-friendly parking are along I-85 corridor, so plan accordingly if you need to stage overnight before hitting the dump stations. Some RVers park at the state park for the night and use their motorhome service point in the morning before departure.
