Cedar Creek Campground
Overview
Overview
Cedar Creek Campground in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee offers travelers a distinct basecamp situated in the rolling terrain of Middle Tennessee. This destination places visitors within reach of the Cumberland River basin, combining rural tranquility with proximity to the expanding metropolitan footprint of greater Nashville. Road-trippers traversing Interstate 40 frequently utilize this corridor to experience local topography defined by dense hardwood forests, limestone bluffs, and expansive aquatic recreation areas.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned just east of Nashville, the property sits amid the classic landscapes of Wilson County. Mt. Juliet acts as a gateway between urban convenience and the slower pace of the Cumberland Plateau foothills. Weather patterns bring humid summers and mild winters, with distinct seasonal foliage shifts that draw autumn motorists. Travelers generally arrive via Interstate 40 or U.S. Route 70, navigating state routes that wind past agricultural fields and suburban developments before reaching the campground boundaries.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details like utility hookups, exact site dimensions, and water access points are not officially published here, visitors must confirm these elements directly with the park management prior to arrival. When planning your stay, be sure to inquire about RV site classifications, pull-through versus back-in configurations, generator policies, and seasonal operating hours. Clarifying these park features ahead of time ensures proper preparation for your specific rig configuration and camping style.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding region provides ample outdoor recreation, anchored by Percy Priest Lake and the extensive public lands managed around the reservoir. Boaters, anglers, and hikers frequent the shoreline trails and boat ramps found throughout the Cedars of Lebanon State Park, located just south of Mt. Juliet. Additionally, the live music venues, historical museums, and culinary destinations of downtown Nashville sit a short drive west down the interstate for those seeking an urban day trip.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits road-trippers, anglers, and nature enthusiasts seeking a strategic stopover east of the capital region. Campers prioritizing water-based recreation and proximity to Percy Priest Lake find the location particularly convenient. It appeals strongly to travelers wanting a balance between rural serenity and easy access to Middle Tennessee landmarks, rather than those seeking an all-inclusive resort environment with extensive commercial entertainment on site.

Beautiful. Our second time staying here by the lake in our motorhome. No dump at the sites, but a nice communal dump on the main loop. Very well maintained park, large lake, small beach for the campers, all you need, far away from the city, and always a nice stop coming through TN.

This location has a sandy beach and a boat dock. Good place for kids, a picnic or just to relax.

Cedar Creek Campground is a wonderful campground that is well maintained with nice camping lots and friendly staff. My husband and I enjoyed 6 days here in July 2025. We took it slow on the road leading to the campground and around the campground with a 42 ft 5th wheel with no issues. It's very quiet and peaceful with lots of birds, deer and squirrels (the squirrels were almost tame). We also enjoyed the clean beach area adjacent to the campground. Although there are no sewer hookups, there is a a convenient dump station. We will definitely visit again!

Beautiful campground, peaceful and relaxing. Small beach area, perfect for kids. Grills and picnic tables available. Really clean restroom facilities. We really enjoyed it. Important note, there is an entry fee, $5 if I remember correctly.

Just wrapped a short stay at Cedar Creek Campground in Mt. Juliet TN. The grounds are clean and nicely arranged. There are a few sites that back up to the Cumberland River. The grounds ajoin to a public access and recreational area with a playground, volleyball courts, swimming area that has a disabled access ramp, public restrooms. Camp host was friendly and even directed us to enter a gate that better suited our RV and tow vehicle. The sites are long enough in some cases, for larger RVs. Your on a one way in one way out body of land that makes the visit tranquil. We marked this one as a must repeat because of it's proximity to Nashville without being "IN" Nashville.
