How to get to Bledsoe Creek State Park
The park sits about 40 miles northeast of downtown Nashville, roughly a 45 to 60 minute drive via I-65 and TN-386 (Vietnam Veterans Boulevard) to Gallatin, then east on TN-25 and Ziegler's Fort Road. From Bowling Green, Kentucky it is about 70 miles, or a 75 minute drive south on I-65. The approach roads are standard two-lane rural highways with no tunnels, steep grades, or weight-restricted bridges of concern to typical RVs, though the final miles include narrow lanes and tight turns near the campground entrance. Nashville International Airport (BNA) is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips, about 45 miles southwest.
