Camping at Harpeth River Bridge Campground (Tn) near Ashland City

Public campground · Ashland City · 14 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Harpeth River Bridge and the broader Cheatham Lake area is oriented toward boating, canoeing and fishing, with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency managing nearby wildlife management areas and Metro Nashville-Davidson County operating riverfront park facilities. The temperate local climate extends the season for water-based activities, and the campground's new ramp makes getting boats on the river straightforward; the surrounding Cheatham Lock and Dam area also supports hiking, wildlife viewing, picnicking, auto touring and other water-sport opportunities at nearby Doziers Dock and Pardue Recreation Area.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (7,767 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
