We stopped off here on a three day trip up the Natchez Trace Parkway. This is a very pretty park. There isn't much to do in the campground. You just pull in and pick out a site. No registration or fees. But, there are also no amenities. There are some neat things to see in the immediate area. The park is at milepost 385.9 on the Natchez Trace in Tennessee. We enjoyed our one night stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Natchez Trace NPS (free) campground at mile marker 385.9. We loved this CG! There are no hookups, but the ambiance makes up for it. The roads and campsites were all recently paved and pretty level; at least half are pull thrus, so great for a stop along the trace. New camp picnic tables at most sites, too. Water spigots in several places, but not at each campsite, as mentioned this is dry camping. There are very clean and spacious (with handicap facilities) restrooms, but as previously mentioned, no showers. There was not a host present while we were there. Batwing antenna received a few stations, and our Verizon phone and broadband both worked, though not a really strong signal. Only 4 campsites occupied of 30 or so, which is quite a shame for such a beautiful campground! The historic park was quite nice, with the grave of Meriwether Lewis (Lewis and Clark)at the park a few miles from the CG. Definitely worth the stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful campground. Level spaces. Many pull-thrus. New, clean, flush-toilet restrooms with soap. The Recovery Act is alive and well at this campground as the campground and the entire Meriwether Lewis area of the Natchez Trace Parkway is being upgraded. Stayed two nights and would loved to have stayed longer. The campground is free; however, the site will not take a zero in the price section so I put in $1.00. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We came in April 14th, and there was plenty of space. No problem for large rigs, roads tight in spots but not a problem. Still all French Canadians headed north, we were the only Americans here. TV via batwing mostly ok, Verizon cell good, broadband barely picked up a signal. Hohenwald is just west on route 20, 7 miles, nice place called Mike's Place just across 412 in town, Walmart is down 412 which goes back to the Trace. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a free National Park Service campground. This is a great campground to use while driving the Natchez Trace. Sites are large and very shaded. It is very peaceful, quiet and dark (at night). There is no registration or fee but there is a campground host. There are rest rooms but no showers. Most of the rigs were large and there was plenty of room between sites. If you can dry camp, this is a wonderful campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pretty wooded setting, very quiet in November which was nice. Bathrooms clean enough but simple, no showers or hook-ups but also no fees. There was a water spigot for filling tanks near the bathrooms. Sites nearer the bathroom are more level than the other sites (about #1 through 11) not all sites are big rig friendly but some would probably be fine. This is a wonderful place to stay while exploring the Natchez Trace Parkway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Busy place, no hook-ups, no showers and one shabby bathroom far from a number of sites, but can't beat price and location. Lots of trees and right on the Natchez Trace Parkway. Some sites looked large enough for bigger rigs but not sure if they would accommodate 40+ footers, we have a 30 ft class A and all sites were big enough for us. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You have to use an underpass to get to the campground and it has an 11’ clearance which is too low for us. Strangely, there is a depressed dirt road right beside the regular road and it provides the additional clearance. This is an old NACO park with no 50A service. We are using 30A but the voltage must be lower than 120 because the A/C is very inefficient, running just better than warm. This park has also crossed the line between sites that are generally available and those that are rented for the season resulting in a very poor selection for those of us just passing through. I’ve never seen such steep inclines in a park before. Road surfaces are rough. Very slow Internet with the Verizon card. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly staff. Unfortunately the laundry was not working in one site. Grounds were a bit unkempt. Beach and pool clean and busy. Pool at lodge in need of repair. Roads needed work. Only location for Wi-Fi was in the lodge. It was slow! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff friendly. Campground needs some work. Not sure if we would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Most of the sites are in need of some work. Trying to get level was a undertaking. We ended up moving to another site that was slightly more level. Had a difficult time with Verizon coverage but air card worked. TV by antenna didn't occur. Staff were friendly and courteous. This park could use some landscaping detail and road work. Presently the only pool functioning is almost 2 miles from the campsite. They have a very nice Rec Hall in Phase II, too bad they charge to shoot pool. I don't think we would stay here again. Price reflects Resorts of Distinction Membership. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow. This park looks wonderful when you look at it from the Ranger Station. Beyond that, it needs big time work. Most of the sites are not usable. Roads have a ton of potholes. Employees don't obey the posted speed limits. Wi-Fi wasn't working, don't know how long it has been down. AT&T phone only works on the hill in front of the Rec Building. The positives: People were friendly, and they serve a good inexpensive breakfast in the Trading Post. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here in a 40-footer with 4-slides and a tow vehicle. We had been here in 2007. The park needs maintenance, including the road going up to the Phase 2 campground. We were able to get a site that allowed us a satellite signal and a phone signal (Verizon). Personnel were friendly and helpful. We would stay again when traveling the Parkway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a beautiful entrance and great rangers. Unfortunately, this is where the goodness ends. Once you get to the campsites, it all changes. The sites are disgraceful: overgrown, poison sumac growing right where you need to plug in the utilities and totally uneven. Why can't TT invest some of this cash it charges me for maintenance fees? Oh well... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I was so pleased with my weekend here. The place was very clean. I loved the pool and beach. My tent camping area was right on the water and quiet. Will tell all my friends: this place is the best kept secret around middle Tennessee for a cheap get-away. Felt safe camping here as a single female. We camped here in a Tent.

Do not recall the exact date I was here: tried to review this park before but the review did not come up. Had a wonderful time here. Loved the pool and beach. The rangers were so nice. Some people were not pleased with their sites but, for myself: I was here to camp, not looking for a backyard. Camped right on the water. Site was private and clean. I had no trouble setting up. I have recommended this site to friends and cannot wait to go back again. We camped here in a Tent.

This is indeed a park that has seen it's best days . There appears to be no investment in the park by TT corporate. We unhooked the tow, found a place, went back to the RV, drove down to the site and while we were getting ready to back into the site a guy in a golf cart parks his golf cart there and says the site is taken. TT staff said they would make him move but just goes to show you that not all members of TT are decent. We then picked out another site, backed in, hooked up the electric and nothing. Maintenance came and said it was indeed busted. I then moved to another site. The staff was way behind in their mowing also, lots of tall grass which means more insects which were the abundant. This is not a TT park I would recommend. I am sure back in the 80s or 70s this was a swell place to visit. The convenience store which is half on site and half open to the public had an odd smell, I think it too was just old and moldy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. Lots to do & see both in the park and in the area. Two swimming pools operate in the summer, small boat rental, indoor raquetball courts, a nice exercise room and mini golf are also available in the park. The only reason it is not rated a 10 is because there was no cell phone service available at all in the park. (Not their fault, but it was uncomfortable not having access to our cell service.) We camped here in a Motorhome.

I am so disappointed. I paid all this money for Thousand Trails and the first time we leave Florida, I end up here. This place is run down. The roads are horrible. The sites are better suited for tenter's. Most of them you can not get any sizable RV into. Ticks are everywhere. The rec hall you have to use for Wi-Fi smelled horrible and the A/C was off. I would not return here and will be writing to TT to complain. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are members of Resorts of Distinction and we were able to stay here for free. Very nice and clean. Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely go there again We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We are Thousand Trails members so we camped here at no charge. The campground is huge and there are some steep hills to climb to get to various "phases" of the park. The main roads are in terrible condition. This was our first visit and we were disappointed that they have been let go without upkeep for apparently a long time. The "town hall" is where activities are held and wireless internet is available. A word of caution: one evening I walked out the exit door to go across a covered walkway to the next building. The door to the next building was locked. I turned around to return to the main building and found myself completely locked out and unable to get off the "bridge" which is many feet in the air above the ground below. Luckily I had my cell phone with me and called my spouse to come "rescue" me. Had I been unable to get a phone signal or had I not carried my phone with me, I would have been trapped out there in the cold rainy night for hours or worse as there was hardly anybody in the park. As the building is supposed to be locked up at 10 pm, I guess I would have been discovered by then. I reported this to the ranger at that time and he apologized and said he may have forgotten to unlock the door. But I saw the same thing happen twice more to two others--including the activities director who said the door lock was defective. That bad experience notwithstanding, we had an absolutely amazingly friendly reception the first time we walked into the "town hall" on Saturday evening of our arrival. A group of people immediately said hello, introduced themselves and asked our names, took us on a tour of the facility (door didn't lock us out that first time!) and invited us to play "baseball" that evening. The ranger who checked us in was also very friendly and helpful. Although it rained and rained most of the time we were there, there was enough of a break in the bad weather to allow putting the kayak in the lake and fishing. Warning--check yourself carefully after walking in the woods. Hubby found 4 ticks on himself a little later. Every site we saw had a concrete patio and was fairly level. We enjoyed our stay here and appreciated the closeness to the Natchez Trace. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited in the off season, cold and blustery, but the staff was warm and helpful. Great breakfast in the store/restaurant and Friday fish frys in the summers are legendary according to quite a few locals. Will return!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here using the Thousand Trails membership. We were in Phase 2, site 2 with full hookups. Would like to have had 50 amp but 30 amp did fine. We had a patio, table, grill. Our internet ,on the roof of our motorhome, worked but we had to use a portable dish for TV due to trees. Our cell phone worked until the last couple days when we had to use the antenna and booster. We enjoy the Natchez Trace Parkway and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spent 2 weeks at park while riding the Natchez Trace Parkway via motorcycle. I'm a Thousand Trails member which explains the nightly rate. The exterior roads are getting rough and need some attention. For the most part the interior roads leading to the sites were OK. There is a shortage of rest rooms and I counted only 5 washers and 2 dryers for the entire park. Very few pull thru's and only about 25%-35% of the sites have sewer connections. Plenty of dump sites throughout park. The park and the sites were clean, the workers very friendly, and the lake was beautiful. I enjoyed my stay and would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Thank God it was only $1 to stay here. The place is an overblown joke. Gravel sites completely ill-maintained. Just an old, rundown, junky has-been campground. Certainly not worthy of the half a million dollar coach that we brought in. What a waste of time. And, they don't tell you that you have to drive off a road and into a ditch to avoid a too-low underpass to get here. This was the first time we had used a Thousand Trails affiliate membership (Western Horizons) and it is definitely the last. To add insult to injury; we had a knock on our door one afternoon while here, from a man soliciting Thousand Trails memberships. When we stay at a park or resort we NEVER expect to be solicited by sales people. This was a complete invasion of our privacy. We'd never return or buy a membership in such a place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One hundred and twenty six sites are full hookups. Others are water and electric only. We were lucky to obtain a full hookup site. Our site had a patio, picnic table, and standing BBQ. Lots of treed sites. Roads need some repair. Many picturesque sites within an easy drive. Especially the Natchez Trace Parkway. Staff friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
