Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights6 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The setting here is as much upland cedar glade as it is lakefront: the Anderson Road Fitness Trail is a paved loop just over a mile long that runs through the cedar glade beside the water, and the surrounding 19,087 acres of managed grasslands and woodlands support abundant wildlife, including the regionally significant Tennessee coneflower in nearby Cedar Glades Natural Area. The lake itself was formed by the dam completed in 1968 and stretches some 42 miles of shoreline across 14,200 surface acres, providing clear opportunities for boating, canoeing, fishing (largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, Cherokee bass, catfish, bluegill and more), swimming and other water sports.













Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.
Showers on site. Dump station on site.

“Nice and quiet spot, tucked away near Nashville. I just stayed at night for a few nights getting some sleep outdoors instead of a hotel so it was great for that. Restrooms worked but could use some TLC, the typical fair of any other location like this.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (17,716 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.
