Benjamin RV Sanctuary offers a peaceful and well-thought-out site close to Nashville and Franklin. The hosts, Ruth and Robert, are praised for their hospitality and Robert’s culinary skills. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the opportunity to interact with farm animals. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, there was a mention of a Wi-Fi issue, although it seems to be an outlier compared to the rest of the feedback.

Goats and a Gourmet Meal…Perfect
21 ft travel trailer · With pets
I stayed at Benjamin RV Sanctuary for 4 nights! The booking process was easy and Roberts directions and instructions were clear and very helpful!
The site is not far from Roberts home but he was very quiet and considerate of guests. He out thought into the entire set up.
The location was ideal! Close to Nashville and Historic Downtown Franklin!
Very quiet at night. He has goats and chickens but the highlights was the meal Robert prepared for us! He is chef and our meal was delicious beyond words! You can tell and taste his passion for cooking!
Overall one of my favorite HipCamp sites!

Ruth and Robert provided directions and other information a few days prior to my arrival - this made it so smooth. Upon arrival, Robert was very friendly and willing to help with anything that I needed.

10/10!
18 ft pop-up camper · Group trip
Staying at Benjamin’s RV Sanctuary was a wonderful experience! Ruth was very kind and informative about arriving at their house/details on our stay. Robert came outside to meet us and brought us a thoughtful goody basket with a handwritten note and information about Franklin. Their home was beautiful! The backyard was well taken care of and very pretty. Their farm animals were cute too! I would def recommend and look forward to staying again.
