Was wonderful except last visit a tree limb fell on camper and did alot of damage. And wish we could checkin earlier if site is ready. ITS a pain to checkout by noon and wait for paid site that wasnt occupied and ready.Beautiful, clean, and frienly staff. Very much recommend. Wish could stay longer than 14 days a month .....

The location is perfect for my visit. Just a few miles from stores and restaurants. Close to local activities and places of interest. I stay here every year I visit the area and will continue even when I move to TN. The area is peaceful and quiet at night except for the occasional rude loud fellow camper. It is relaxing to take in the nature surrounding the area and the beautiful sunsets on the lake.

I spent a weeklong staycation here. Just what I needed. I got a waterfront site so the view was great and overall a fun place to enjoy my boat. I live in Nashville, so it was close enough to commute to work in town when I had to. The Camp Staff was excellent. I'll be back next year!

Decent campground. Enjoyed the stay for a week, but power went out one night, and was still not on 18 hours later, so we left. Campground didnt refund any money for the trouble, day without electricity or early departure.

Beautiful and rustic campground (emphasis on rustic), a very short drive to the suburbs of Nashville. If you want luxury amenities, this is not the place for you. If you want to sit among the wildlife, listen to the birds, and enjoy gorgeous lake views, this is it.

This place exceeded my expectations in both safety and cleanliness. Great place for families and a welcoming environment. I would definitely stay here again after my 8 day stay
. I travel solo with my little dog and felt completely comfortable here.
