Delta Queen Riverboat on Cumberland River
June 3, 2008. We are staying in Two Rivers Campground near Opry Land in northeast Nashville over the Memorial Day weekend. Two Rivers is the private campground we recommend for anyone visiting Nashville. It ain't cheap $31 but it is $21 cheaper than the next best campground. The $31 is for water & 30-amps; full-hookup and 50-amps are a bit more. But, and it is a big BUT the Yogi Bear Campground next door starts at $51 and goes up. KOA a block away starts somewhere above that and the sky is the limit. In Nashville you are paying for LOCATION and Two Rivers Campground has LOCATION. Besides that they sponsor good entertainment in the park several times a week. When I say "GOOD" entertainment I mean FREE afternoon shows from the likes of Hot Damn out of South Florida, Paul Hill who operates out of Nashville and the incomprehendable Mel McDaniel who still resides in Nashville.
Visiting honky tonk row is one of the main attractions in Nashville but there are other things to do. Today, we spent the afternoon on The General Jackson Showboat a stern wheel boat plying the Cumberland River in Nashville. When we got to downtown Nashville next to Titan statdium the Delta Queen Riverboat was tied up at the landing in Nashville.

This landing stage is on the paddle wheeler Delta Queen which is docked at the River Front in downtown Nashville. Note the canopies and black superstructure on that barge located in front of the Delta Queen. That barge is going to be the stage for River Front performances at the CMA Music Fest scheduled later this week.
