Our spot was fantastic! Beautiful in scenery and surrounded by wonderful people. Our sight was as close to perfect t as it could be. Only we had a slight hole next to our lantern pole big enough to trip in… several times. That’s the smallest complain I’ve ever had for a camping sight. It really was awesome!

We really enjoyed our time at LockA. Even though it was hot outside the temperature was cooler under the big shade trees at our campsite. Loved being right on the river watching the barges go by every day.

Lock A campground is located by Cheatham Lake / Cumberland River. Excellent location by the water without traffic noise. Boat ramp access to water above and below Cheatham Lock & Dam. Swim area. Playground. access to Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail.
Met several locals camping during my stay. The facilities were clean. I camped at 3 different sites. Sites were basically clean. Trash pick up on site every day. Didn’t see anyone checking sites for trash. Unfortunately someone left a few dozen cigarette butts on one camp site.

Campground is very clean and quiet. The sites we’ve stayed on are level and easy to get into. Getting to the campground is a fun experience, reminds me of a rollercoaster ride coming down the hill the the park entrance. Great place to camp!
