After checking with Verizon Wireless to determine whether you could get their signal in this area, and they said there was no signal there, we were pleasantly surprised to find there is a Verizon signal here, a little slow on sunny days, slower or very weak on cloudy days, but adequate most of the time for what we needed. No problem getting Dish signal. About 5 miles to Normandy with 1 restaurant open on weekends only, about 10 miles to Manchester or Tullahoma with many more restaurants and shopping. Our GPS took us in on a strange route, but once you know the area you can navigate easily and roads are in very good condition. We enjoyed our stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
