Very nice campground, our space was pull through and had enough room for RV, truck and boat! Park was well shaded with trees and had a good boat ramp and parking area. Cellular service was good (AT&T).

Scamp sites are far from level. It is nearly impossible to level your RV on the site. On sites on the lake it is difficult to reach the water due to debris from dead trees and rocks.

Love this place for a visit near family. Always would prefer lakeside sites, but its not always possible. Bathhouses are not conveniently located relative to the sites, but theyre not terribly far. A trip in the middle of the night could be daunting. Be wary of the raccoons after dark, theyre troublemakers.

We were on site 45. My husband and I have mobility issues, but we found we were able to walk around the road without much difficulty - it was not always uphill both ways. We were very fortunate to have one of the few sites that did not have a huge upward drive-in area. It was a pull through spot, with a decent view of the lake from up higher. I highly recommend this campsite. Very nice concrete pad, a nice picnic table, grill, and also a separate wooden table we were able to place our grill upon. The road that leads into the campground from city limits goes through a very nice residential area, which was odd. For a moment we thought we were surely lost because of that. The roads are a bit narrow, but well paved.
Nearby is a Wal-Mart and several stores. Traffic through LaVergne was heavy at times. There are a few places to eat further down the road. One thing I enjoyed was that Amazon has a locker at a gas station nearby, so I was able to order some desperately needed things, as we stayed there for 8 days. Never knew these lockers existed. If I were to go back again, I would want the site we stayed at. Like I said, few others were as nice and we do not appreciate steep climbs into a campsite, even if a pull through. Note some of the pull throughs near the lake held 2 campers, back to back - never seen that before either. I guess the first one there gets to drive straight in, and maybe you have to back out when the other camper shows up.
They did patrol the park quite a bit. Men were running around in those vehicles to each site after someone left, but they did not clean the grounds - only seemed to look around and drive on. It was necessary that we use our blower to get many sticks off of the concrete so that we could even use it. Would be nice if their volunteers working would have taken just a bit more time at each site to keep it cleaner for guests. Those men also moved pretty fast in those vehicles. Great recreation lake - beautiful!

This is probably the worst corps of engineers campground in middle TN. They have not made any improvements since it was built. There is no courtesy dock, the boat ramp area is full of gravel and lumber. The planters are so rotten they are about to spill out at any moment. The sites are mostly buddy sites and totally un level. The bathrooms are terrible. The road coming into and inside the park has seen better days many years ago. I feel like they keep it open to make some money, but they certainly are not putting any effort into this campground. I’ll drive and hour and a half out of my way to stay at defeated creek or salt lick from now on. I even canceled the other two reservations I have at this park this year.
