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.

Pulled in after dark and thought it was a little sketchy, but then came daylight and it was beautiful! Restrooms are cleaned regularly and it has a small, but decent kids park. Safe area too. Will return!

...this was a very beautiful campground! Everyone was friendly & helpful, spacious camp area with clean bathhouse & campground!...Definitely one to visit if ur in the area, we were able too fish from river or lake on site with success!... our site was gravel but some are concrete!...the camp host was very helpful with items to add to my scrapbook travel journal!

I wish I could give this place a better review because the location is beautiful, it’s just horribly managed. They don’t enforce any of the rules so there’s teenagers up until 3am drinking, singing, and yelling. If they’d actually enforce their rules they hand out to everyone this place would be great

Nice clean campgrounds right on the river. We could hear the Owls talking to each other ♡ Water and electricity on all Sites. The showers could use some attention, like updating and painting. they are cleaned and mopped daily :). They have hot water!
