Had a great time as usual at the Lock A Campground in Cumberland, TN.
Only wish they had sewer hook ups...

Site 15 has no lid on garbage can. Due to animals in area it makes the can unusable. It has been this way for a number of weeks. No excuse for this as the garbage is picked up on a reular basis.

The campground hosts are so nice and feel like friends. I’ve always loved this campground. The campground is beautiful, well maintained and the sites are spacious. Every site has a great view. I love to look at the water and watch the barges passing by.
