Things We Found to Do & See
Around Chattanooga, Tennessee
There is much to see and do in Chattanooga, from Civil War Battlefields, to Lookout Mountain, Rock City, Tennessee River cruises on the Southern Belle, and we bet you didn’t know Chattanooga is also home for the International Towing and Recovery Museum?

International Towing & Recovery Museum
3315 Broad Street, Chattanooga
They have 15 wreckers on display from the earliest Model T to a behemoth truck that can easily handle 70 tons. We also found the wrecker that set a World's record for speed and even one of the big green monsters that followed our guys to the Front in WWII. They also have hundreds of old and newer toy trucks.

Good Places to Eat in
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Jenkins Buffet
4134 Ringgold Road
Fried chicken, ham, chopped steak and a great selection of all the Southern style veggies like boiled cabbage, fried okra, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, field, green and black-eyed peas,showpeg corn and home-made salads you've been craving. Save some room for the dessert table!
Portofino’s Italian Restaurant
6407 Ringgold Rd, East Ridge, TN
Just a short distance from the RV park. The last visit we had the entrees which were very good. This visit we both chose the salad bar which looked delicious. Looks can be deceiving and this salad bar lacked taste in almost every item. They use very little sauce on the salad bar pizza selections and were not up to par either.
Can't forget that there is also a Sara Lee Outlet store directly across from the entrance to the Holiday Travel Park. The place to stock up on bread products and other unhealthy snacks for the road.
