Such a gorgeous park and facility! Always clean and well maintained. I love that it is so dog friendly, with plenty of pull thru sites and beautiful lake-side spots. I have stayed here dozens of times en route to competitive dog events, and it never disappoints.

The park is one of the most beautiful campgrounds that we have visited. Camp hosts Rhonda and her daughter Jennifer go out of their way to keep the camp sites clean and they also notified us of bad weather that passed through the park. The nearby picnic area and large sandy beach is great for family meetings. There are several playgrounds in the campground as well as a beach for swimming. There is also a pickleball court in the area. This is a rural area so we always try to bring everything we need. There is a Walmart about ten miles from the campground. The campground is located in between Cookeville and Nashville, Tennessee. Great place fish, swim and just enjoy the great outdoors in the great state of Tennessee!

Super hot and zero shade... also I think the website has the wrong picture for 99. Poor TV and cell reception.

We have stayed at this campground several times, it is one of our favorites. The sites are better than anywhere else we have stayed as in size and location. The entire campground is well maintained, staff (host) have always been extremely friendly. Never had issues with other campers. I would highly recommend this campground to everyone.

We had a great site and the atmosphere is really good. The Internet is poor but that is expected. We had dinner at Nobels in Carthage, really good. The swimming area is a bit hard to get to. We had a great stay.
