Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. Entire place was very well kept, both the campgrounds and attached rec area. Great hiking and biking and birdwatching. Very quiet.

A bit of a drive but rewarded with a nice, clean campground. Barge traffic is interesting to see going up and down the river. It is a long waterway road from the campground to the lock that will enable bike riding or walking for miles. Some walking trails around the area which will give a birds eye view of the river. It gets busy on the weekends so make reservations early. Less than an hour drive from Nashville.

Have enjoyed Lock A for 30+ years but the showers are terribly dirty and in need of replacement.

Campground was beautiful and the staff there was very helpful. We had no problems pulling our camper into the spot. The campers there all were very nice. We will continue to camp there.

Bring your snorkel to check out the springs. The water was a little cool, but you get used to it. The water was crystal clear, so you can see the blue crabs and the fish.

Lock A campground is beautiful. Clean restrooms, campsite are spacious, Great bicycle or walking trail along river, Picnic areas all along the Cumberland River, Can watch the cargo barges on the river. You'll see deer, osprey and squirrel. Peaceful campground, great playground for children and safe place for kids to ride their bicycles. We've probably stayed there 16 times in the last 4 years. Best of all great place to take photos. When you go down from the campground to the dam/locks beautiful drive along the Cumberland River. When you get past the locks, check the metal electric wire frame on your right. The osprey build a nest there every year. Wonderful experience.
