One of my tried and true spots. All the spots have plenty of room and are well shaded. Really great place for hammock campers! The ranger here is really nice and great at maintaining the place. The bathrooms stay clean and trash gets dumped often. AT&T gets at least a bar of service in the campground and more than that on the pull offs leading in. Great place to walk/hike and the town of Hohenwald isn't too far.
Lovely spot to camp the sites all seem pretty good have pavement to pull into and a fire pit and a picnic table The bathroom was clean and warm if I remember it. The only complaint I have is there was no toilet paper for some 40 campers. It is a lovely camping spot though
Loved this cool retreat away from Nashville. There were some lovely picnic spots along the river and great hiking. We came in on a Thursday, late afternoon, and there were three camping spots left so you may have a hard time finding an open spot by Friday evening would be my guess. The camping spots were great and very accessible for motorcycles. Our neighbors were super friendly and you could definitely bring your dog here! Check out the little historical cabin that commemorates Merriweather Lewis (of Lewis and Clark fame) and his untimely death.
Awesome campground free of charge!! Is it for real?:)) dry camping for rv, spacious area for tenting, there is table, and fire ring on each site. It gets pretty busy even during the week, most spots are taken, first come first gets. Super quiet which is unbelievable. Restrooms are clean. There is non drinking water access. Trail starts right from the campground. Pet friendly. Spent 2 nights. Amazing experience. Thank you Tennessee! ♥️
This is an amazing gem! Free camping (no hook-ups) along the Natchez Trace Parkway. Very clean and safe. Bathroom facilities available. Definitely not for huge rigs but manageable for a class C
