I'm relocating to the Nashville TN area and was looking for some input on beginner trails and some good campgrounds. I know there are a few people from Tennessee so I'm hoping to get some advice from people who know the area. Thanks.

Lol, we just had the warmest Christmas and new years that I ever remember in this state. and welcome to TN
Yeah, it was great. That's what I'm used to when I lived in south Florida Today I'm freezing. I actually had to wear pants. Some thing else I'm not used to doing because of South Florida lol. Have to go out shopping for real clothes. No more shorts and flip flops for me.

A few buddies of mine are up that way and really like the "Jeep and Wrenches" group in the Nashville area. They could probably direct you towards some good trails and folks to ride with.
 
I’m right next to you in Gallatin.

I don’t know if you are on Facebook but
Sumner county jeep crew is a pretty big group on Facebook and pretty active.
Music city jeep owners is a smaller group but go on harder trails.

I occasionally jump onto Jeeps and Wrenches, that's a pretty good group of folks as well.
