About Cages Bend
Cages Bend Campground is located on the shores of Old Hickory Lake, offering campers the opportunity to enjoy activities with a beautiful scenic backdrop.
Water recreation is the major attraction for lake-goers, but with white-tailed deer, migratory song birds and waterfowl abundant in the area, birding and wildlife photography is popular as well.

We always stop here on our trip back to Florida. I have a son that lives close and the family camps with us. Son, wife and 4 children.
The manager is very nice and a plus to the grounds.

Another great COE campground. We only stayed on night. Everything met our expectations, clean, well maintained, a great view of the lake, site was level and good power. The entrance off the main road can be easily missed. It's not the typical road going to a COE campground, in that it's a little narrow for a large motorhome.
