We had an excellent week long camping experience. We will be returning. Showers and restrooms were clean. Our site was mowed and trimmed.

Its peaceful camp grounds. Tent camping can be a challenge. Bathroom is far away.

Quick, friendly and easy check-in upon arrival. Hosts Sharyll and Tom are always so nice and make time to speak to the grandkids as we pull up to the window. Site was clean and as always, the view was spectacular!!! We love coming to Lock A Campground because of the cleanliness, the friendliness, the view and the fact that it's a small campground...not so large that it's overwhelming to get around. Another very nice 'feature' is that Cheatham County Sheriff's Dept patrols the grounds, which we really like.
