Great lake for paddling, didn't try fishing this time. Campground and showers, bathrooms clean and well kept Great staff. GPS tells you that you arrived before you are there but at least gets you on the right road. Not a bad location to camp while visiting and exploring Nashville area.

Site 54 was an amazing site! The trail down through the woods to the water is very manageable. Great area to swim around as well. Loved this site!

We love the rustic feel and wooded campsites. Very hilly. See review: https://youtu.be/0kL4BD3_RWg

The sites aren’t level and too small for most campers. Very rough and hard to maneuver. The shower houses are not easy to access.
Horrible experience.
Never going back.

Our campsite was down a hill (we had to back our camper downhill and then make a turn). Wouldn't have been so bad but the site was very uneven. We had to put the camp up on blocks to raise the one side up, a lot. First step into camper was very high.

Site was a bit sloped and required leveling blocks but it was a nice waterfront space, private on the lakeside. Should have brought our kayaks. Nice and quiet and woodsy. We've been here before and will come again.

Great staff. Everything was good with only exception being low water pressure.
Juicy Seafood in Smyrna serves delicious catfish.
