Beautiful view of Center Hill Lake. Always a pleasant camping trip at Ragland Bottom.

This is usually our favorite campground but they have not mowed in over a week and it was dry every day we were there. The logs blocked the boat ramp and constantly had to move them to load and unload your boat. No lights in the bathroom at night

Site overlooks the beautiful lake. Picnic table is not in an ideal position since one bench actually hangs over the edge of the site which is a rock embankment. It is also positioned right in front of camper door if you have door in back. Great friendly camp hosts.

We love camping at Ragland Bottom. The water view is breathtaking. This site has one of the best. Best camp host and hostess you could ever meet in Tom and his wife. Unfortunately our stay was cut short a day thanks to a nearby tornado and the threat of another bad storm. Tom made sure that everyone was warned and advised to leave the campground for their safety. We have several more stays planned for later this year.

This is a clean well maintained camping area, that we use multiple times every summer. There is plenty of boating, kayaks, and waterfalls around if you are a water lover. 25 minutes from Cookeville for shopping and eating, but there are several places in Smithville that have excellent food. For breakfast we love Patty's on the far end of Smithville and Kilgors for lunch or dinner. (catfish at Kilgors is great)Murfreesboro is 1 hr and 15 minutes away for shopping and eating, Fall Creek Falls state park and Rock Island state park just a short drive away for hiking....EXCELLENT PLACE.

Ragland Bottom is a beautiful place to camp. This site is right on the lake with a beautiful view. We had no problem with phone reception (Verizon). Mr. Tom, camp host, and the volunteer hostess are the best. Any problems and he will handle.

The camp hosts were great!! They were very accommodating & extremely nice! The best hosts we have found at any of the campgrounds we have stayed in! The grounds are beautiful & immaculate! Nice playground for kids, clean bathrooms & a beautiful view from everywhere:) We rented a pontoon boat from Hidden Harbor Marina for 1/2 day & that was an awesome Marina! I would highly recommend that.
