This is a great place to camp. The river is beautiful, the people are friendly and the sites give you enough room to stretch out. The area is great for kids to play and ride bikes in peace. We love this campground. The only thing that will make it better is wi-Fi. I am indeed a happy camper

We absolutely loved the spacious site and gorgeous views. We loved the area, wildlife and ammenities. We enjoyed the drive into the park, the quaint bait shop and pizza offered at the small general store and the proximity to Nashville. It was a heavenly weekend by the cumberland river.

Someone was in my reserved site when I arrived and would not come out of their trailer. There was no camp host and I had no site for the evening.
