Awesome campground on the Cumberland River. Loved staying here.. even the inside sites (not waterfront) are amazing. Listening to the pecans fall when the wind blows.. and the HUGE barges passing by are my favorite things about being here.

Awesome scenery, great view of river and tug boats pushing barges. Laid back and peaceful. Will stay longer next time and maybe get a tour of lock internal operation. All facilities top notch.

The second doc is the best for deeper boats. Very clean nice place good place to get out and stretch your legs. If you need to use the restroom it's right by the dock and then they have fresh water and the pavilion also. Perfect spot to refill your water stretch your legs, if you're headed south on the river!

Clean campground, beautiful place with waterfront tent sites. Water and garbage bin at each site. 👍 Plentiful options for stuff to do in Clarksville and Nashville. It rained a lot the two times I camped here, might just be bad luck. Thanks for the memories!

It's what you'd expect from a campground and swimming area on a lake. It was clean, so that's a plus and plenty of shady spots. I do wish there was more seating in the shade in the playground of the campground area.
