We enjoyed camping by the water with friends. The campground was quiet and the restroom is well maintained. We don't fish or have a boat so activities on site were limited to a short bike ride and a little bird-watching. We drove about 20 minutes to Crater of Diamonds State Park one day. Murfreesboro has a few cute shops.

This was a great camping experience. The shower heads need replacing and adjust the shower handles so the hot/cold works better. Overall, love the area I picked to camp. I'm planning to come back soon!

The camp site was wonderful! The restroom and showers not so much. The showers need repair and the bathroom needed a good cleaning. The shower heads were broken and there wasn’t a pull down bench in any stalls for the disabled.

This was our 4th year spending Thanksgiving in this beautiful place. We always enjoy shopping in Murfreesboro, and Hot Springs is about an hour north if there's a need for bigger retail.
