On site, soak up some excitement and twisting thrills as you speed down one of Nashville Shores eight waterslides, cool off at the Bucket of Fun waterfall, or hang out and soak up the rays at the Sun Tan Lagoon. On site facilities include motor home and tent camping, watercraft and boat rentals, and more. All the major restaurants are located right down Old Hickory Road as well as the hotels that are just one mile from the race site.
