We arrived during a thunder storm; signage directing us to the campground entrance was small, faded and sparse. So be careful. The shower facilities were badly in need to maintenance. They were reasonably clean but drains didn’t work and water pooled above your ankles.
Views from the sites were lovely from sites on the lake, but sites required quite a bit of work to level, so come prepared.

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.

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.

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.

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!
