Lock a

The Lock A campground is not the largest, nor is it located next to some of the favored destinations in the world. But it is one of the best kept and managed campgrounds we have visited.
In combination with the entire Cheatham Dam facility, it offers a lot of things for families to enjoy - water, fishing, biking, walking...even just chilling.
The sites are spacious, and extremely well kept...the staff is friendly - even had a great conversation with the guy picking up trash one morning.

As I said, it isn't in the middle of a bustling tourist area, nor is it a large park with clubhouses and game rooms...but it is close to Nashville and Clarksville, there are restaurants within minutes if you need them and it is an incredible site for families and a quiet getaway.

stop by if you are close...it will not disappoint.

Will be coming back!!

Very nice campground. Proximity to river for fishing anf the beach down the road are major pluses. Bathrooms are dated and need AC.

We come here every year. We and our dogs love it, even if it ends up raining a lot of the time. Beautiful place.
Loves the herons!

We love camping here. Always so peaceful and the grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Wonderful campground!

What a great campground!! The staff were great especially the main lady who runs it. My family and I will definitely be back. The campsites were well shaded, clean, and comfortable. The showers and bathrooms were well kept.

This was a really good tent site. Water on 3 sides. It was a beautiful view. The only issue was that a 100 ft cord is required to reach the tent pad. I didn't have one, but my tent was small enough that it fit near the picnic table.
It stormed that night and the chiggers were biting, but that's camping!
The late night/early morning barges were pretty loud and awakened me a few times and some sort of animal kept snorting outside my tent but never attempted to get in.
I saw a huge catfish (or maybe the Loch Ness monster!) try to jump out of the water!
The main hiking trail is closed down because of a damaged bridge. That is the only reason I didn't give a perfect score.

Campsite #1 had great woman checking us in. She even came around with freeze pops one hour afternoon!
Would i go back? In a heart beat!

We absolutely loved this beautiful place. We shall be back

Beautiful, relaxing campground! Loved walking by the river. Sites were large and spacious, many are concrete with plenty of parking. Very clean. Each site has own trash can that someone empties daily.

Great campground, right on the Cumberland River. Campground was well maintained. Bathhouse is dated, but was clean and had plenty of hot water. Activities for children. Host was friendly and helpful. Trail leading to Ashland City was closed due to a damaged bridge. Sat on river bank and watched barge traffic and small boats.
