Cheatham Annex RV Park

Mike picked up our RV and we met him at Cheatham Annex RV Park.  He arrived before us so when we drove up everything was already set up.  That's my guy!  The only thing left to do was level it out so we wouldn't all be rolling to one side of the camper in the middle of the night.  Once that was taken care of we got down to the business of camping.

This site is on a military base so the access may be limited to some.  There were definitely pros and cons to this location.  

Pros: large sites, wooded trails, on base activities (bowling, pool, playgrounds, etc) and the Youth Pond.  This was my favorite thing.  The pond is set back in the trees and has a good sized pier that extends toward the middle.  It is stocked with fish and is catch and release.  Among the frogs, turtles and dragonflies, you can find some great quality time with your family.  It did take us quite a while but I'm happy to say each of our girls caught at least one fish.  Thank goodness.      

Cons: direction to check-in and to the sites, small spaces to maneuver/turn around RV, sites were not surrounded by trees, you could see industrial parts of the base from our site.  Some of these aesthetics may not be overly important but I really would prefer to feel that I'm in the midst of nature on these excursions.

Our night was filled with marshmallows, bubbles, and the card game Go Fish.  We all settled in nicely.  Even the girls came to a good understanding about the bunk beds and who would sleep where.  

In the morning we went for a nature walk through the woods.  It became a bit hurried as someone needed to 'go to the potty' half way through the walk.  Even still, it was so nice to be out in nature with the girls.  Later that day we went to the pond for some fishing which really was our favorite part of our stay.  We had a wonderful time on our first adventure and look forward to many, many more.

Happy travels ~ Sara
