Nice enough KOA

Check-in was quick & our escort to site was kind enough to assist with backing & leveling our TT. Our site was full hookup with firepit & picnic table. Site was gravel pad, not much grass around, just gravel covered by leaves. Roads were dusty as no one seemed to observe the 5 mph speed signs. Nice enough walking trail for dogs that led to the small dog park. We played tossing a ball for our Lab & Shepherd to run & play. It was nice to have a place to let them loose for a bit. This was the only location that poop bags/trash cans were available. There were no other trash cans but dumpster at entrance to campground. Showers/bathroom nearest site were great combo "suites" with toilet, sink, shower w/removable shower head & baby changing table. Bathrooms by the tent area were awesome, but need to be cleaned more often as too much water get out of shower area that makes the floor slippery and dangerous. Also, those mats outside the showers were just gross and soaking wet, not hygienic at all. Bath/shower/laundry near office were good & clean too. Virtually no WiFi strength the further from the office your site sits. All sites have cable plugs, but we didn't use.This campground is about 3 miles from the Art District/Crafty tourist area of Nashville. We made the mistake of coming to visit the town of Nashville in October and the traffic was so backed up we decided to go in the opposite direction.

Nice park & dog friendly

Campground offers free WiFi, although spotty service. Sites are really close, none too level, paved pad w/electric & water. Some sites have sewer but one dump station available near campstore. Had to park the truck at angle to keep nose out of traffic. Nice bath houses with foamy soapy & good water pressure. No hiking trails from campground, have to go across park to restaurant area to hike, boat rental & restaurant were all in same area. Nice lake to fish. Great buffet for dinner at restaurant if you want a break from campfire and nice gift shop. Drove about 5 miles into Crossville & found dog park to let pups run off leash. Also, plenty of grocers & retailers nearby if you need to stock up.

Muddy, swampy, & critters everywhere

We stayed here for Memorial Day weekend and it was very crowded. The sites are tight & lots of trees making it a tight squeeze to get in/out of campsite. Close to highway, but not too noisy. No real hiking trails from campground. There are 3 bath houses but only 2 have showers and when it rains you have to wear mud boots to get to them. They're not very clean with no A/C so you feel just as sweaty after you shower as you did going in. But they do have foamy soap & strong water pressure. The sites are paved/gravel and fairly level but if you're a tent camper you are liable to be soaked from the ground up after a rain. We were swarmed w/ mosquitoes, saw snakes, ducks, & crawfish all in our camping area. Each site has fire ring/grill, electric & water, but no real WiFi or antenna service. Couple good diners nearby if you want a break from camp. Museum is nice and worth an hour to visit.

Great camping spot for fishing or kayaking, but bring a trash can

Smaller state park with only 57 campsites, but all are nice & fairly level. Quiet and spacious layouts. Each site has fire pit & grill with large picnic table at each site. Each site has water/electric, but there is only one dump station in the campground. We stayed in a site just 30 feet from lake shore. Easy access for putting in a kayak or fishing from the bank. Plenty of wildlife to be viewed. Nice playground area for the kids. No trash cans around except at bathroom or one dumpster on way out. Bathroom facilities are clean, flushable toilets, and showers are plenty big. The showers even have a removable shower head (BONUS). The showers are separated by a small curtain, so privacy is somewhat lacking. Hiking trails are well maintained and variety of difficulty. Camp hosts were friendly and did drive through on a regular basis. We would definitely stay here again.

Bring hiking boots for bathroom trips

Friendly staff. At registration, we were notified that they recently had a lot of rain so the original site we selected for our reservation would be really soft so they recommended changing the site. We were allowed to take a deluxe campground site of choice so we could be near the dog park. Love the BIG dog park area, large enough to play fetch with my dogs and they offer potty bags for picking up after your pooch. Plenty of yard w/each deluxe site but gravel lot is not very level. Ground really soft & muddy from recent rains. Only real complaint is that there is ONLY 1 shower/bathroom for entire campground which means you have to hike to reach it & there is no direct trail once you cross the walking bridge over the creek. You either have to walk thru campsites/cabin sites or take long way around through park. Plus, it took almost 2 minutes to get hot water with barely any water pressure. Bonus fact, KOA is right next door to an RV dealership & a McDonald's should you need to visit either. BTW, WiFi worked fine for us.

Relaxing campground with nice bathrooms

Level sites are close together but have decent amount of yard. Tiny dog park for tiny dogs. It's not so good for larger dogs but there's a big field to play Frisbee. Great shower/bathhouses with good pressure & hot water. Friendly staff, love the lil cafe- ordered a personal pizza for quick dinner & delivered to site in 15 mins. WiFi service works great too. Will definitely consider coming back. Next to Interstate but far enough that it's just a quiet white noise distraction.

Pleasant, quiet, clean and lots of activities for kids

Stayed for several days the end of August 2016. This is a wonderful campground & very well maintained by a friendly family. Plenty of activities to keep children entertained (fishing, mini golf, jump pad, swimming pool, paddleboats, hiking trails, ziplines, rock climbing, RC car trails, and Llamas!!) Variety of sites, some with full hookup and patios, fire pits, plenty of space between campsites. Bathhouses are clean and plenty of warm water but pressure could be a little stronger. Reasonable rates and safe environment. We hope to make this our annual family gathering place.
