Early evening and I checked RVParky for spots where we could spend the night in my campervan. I had not planned well and we were on a detour. This looked like a possibility.
The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is a 170,000‑acre outdoor park and nature preserve located between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, with Dover, Tennessee serving as its southern gateway. It spans both Kentucky and Tennessee, with about 60,000 acres lying in Stewart County, Tennessee near Dover. The park is a vast peninsula of forest, wetlands, and open land managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It was created when the Tennessee Valley Authority dammed the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, forming Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. The land between those two reservoirs became a unique natural corridor, hence the name.
We arrived late at the South Welcome Station. A nice little parking area with a structure that appeared to have maps and an attendant. There's even a free RV dump site here. What there isn't is any cellular signal and there didn't appear to be any wifi coming from the welcome station.
So while this might be okay for Bruce on his own, it wasn't going to work out for Bruce with Mrs. K. Maybe next time!
