My go-to for nearby camping. Cages is a small campground with 43 sites, so it can be difficult to secure a site at times. It is situated on Old Hickory Lake, and almost all of the sites have a good view of the lake. The shower houses could use some attention, but overall, it is a great place to camp.
I hate to give this a low review because the staff and area is great. Although I paid for waterfront at 34 and it’s all woods in front - see pic. I just graduated at 53 with my Masters and after running my own sober living house, working two jobs and school as a single mother, I wanted to get away for some serenity and for three days was nothing but constant noise. Building docks and lawn mowing crew on third day. I realize things have to get done but bad timing for me. Bathrooms are awful and full of mold and bugs are terrible inside facilities. It is a beautiful place to come but stretch out maintenance.
The campground itself is nice. Pretty views and spacious sites. However the bathroom is awful! It smelled of dirt and mold. The showers were filthy! I would not wash my dog in it. We thought this campground could be on a regular rotation, but no way! Unless the bathroom gets a major upgrade!
Good place for couple and family camping. We did cake up, camp fire, camping whole night, no fan, but it is good, morning sunrise 🌅 is wonder full. We did grill in chicken and panner and veggies using camp stove. Very memorable experience. It is 30 min drive from Nashville, TN. Restroom is available. Food delivery is also available.
Had a great time, very peaceful and quiet. Lots of water around it for fishing. Would definitely recommend.
