This was our first time in a TN State Park, and we were not disappointed! Spacious wooded sites, and nice quiet, very dark evenings. Not too far off the Natchez Trace Parkway. We would definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park would definitely stay here again. We had no problems getting in or out of our site. Sites fairly level and spacious. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Absolutely beautiful state park located within a city. Access roads and sites are pretty narrow and tight. I don't think a large pusher could get into the camping area. We had a 26' travel trailer and had no problems. Some of the camp sites are closed. The park is being renovated and cabins are being built. The camp host(s) were friendly and did a great job of maintaining the area. The scenery is great and wildlife abounds. We saw deer and a flock of wild turkeys. Shopping is readily available in Lawrenceburg. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It was really cold when we stayed here, so we didn't get to experience the park much, and there was only 1 other trailer in the park. We were up on Loop 2, which is up on a hill and very attractive, with lots of tall trees. Our pad was a bit bumpy. Each site had a fire pit or fireplace and picnic table. The bathrooms were clean and warm and the sinks and showers had hot water. We got a few TV channels using our antenna. We camped here in a Motorhome.
David Crockett State Park has two campground areas. Included in Campground 1 are some restricted sites (17-21) - restricted for us by RVs 32' and longer - no tents allowed on these sites. Tenters use area 1 mostly because of Shoal Creek that borders the campground. We stayed in Campground 2 where there is no body of water, but the sites are quite nice. Best, most level sites for big rigs are 73,75,76,83,84,86. Most all the other site slope down toward back of site making it difficult to set up level. Several facility upgrades are in construction for area 2 and should make this campground area even better. Bathrooms were clean and cozy warm. Up the park road from campground 2 is a large park swimming pool, discounted use fee for campers, and a park restaurant open for lunch daily and dinner Friday and Saturday. The restaurant overlooks the park lake where boats can be rented for pleasure and fishing. We enjoyed bike riding and hiking some of the park trails. This was a convenient stop for us while visiting relatives in Lawrenceburg. Park gate was locked each day at dark, but campers were given lock combination to come and go as they please. We would visit this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very pretty state park. It is large. You must drive, for example, from the campsite to the restaurant, or pool, or lake, or the big playground. That is not really a problem, since along the way you can watch for deer. Has basketball courts, tennis courts, and volleyball courts. There are several walking trails. The pool was closed, but it looked very big. The restaurant was nice. The Saturday night dinner buffet was ok, since we had become tired of cooking. The Sunday morning breakfast buffet was better. We camped in Campground 2 in a 35' motor home. The first night we were on Site 80. It had a very steep slope, if not careful stepping out of the motorhome, you could roll down the hill. We were backed right up to the grill, so we could not use it. The picnic tables are showing age. The grill at Site 78 had some rocks and concrete breaking off, but it was usable. Did not use the showers, but the bathroom seemed clean enough. One bathhouse/bathroom just outside our loop was closed and looked like they were in the process of completely remodeling. They had just put in some new playground equipment in Loop 2 a day or two before. In other words, looks like a little care is needed, but that they are working on it. Moved to Site 79 on our second day,when someone left, and it was better. Friends were in Sites 77 and 78, and they were nice too. Very near Lawrenceburg (right at the edge of town). We didn't see much of the town, but it looked like it would have everything you needed. Loop 1 is near the stream. I'm not sure if there would be a site in that area that a long camper/motorhome would fit in. Very peaceful, unless you take your toddler grandchildren, like we did! However, the weather was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Camped in upper campground. Most sites required considerable leveling but otherwise was a nice place to stay for a couple of days loafing in the area. Small Amish community just to the north of town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice wooded sites with paved roads and pad. The park is near town but feels private and quiet. There is a locked security gate at night. There are many hiking and bicycle trails, interpretive center, and restaurant on site. Deer are seen in the campground. Fishing boats can be rented to use on the small lake. Each site has a fire pit, table, and trash can with daily pick-up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very beautiful very well maintained park has nice pool and lake with paddle boats and fishing boats for rent. You pick your own campsite and no reservations are accepted so it is first come first serve. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first camping trip, and we loved it. We stayed in camp ground #1. Lots of free space and grass for the kids to play in. The creek was extremely nice, refreshing, and relaxing. Lots of nice people, and kids. Lots of free kids activities, trails, finishing, and swimming. Lots of turkeys and deer. We will go back. However, take what you need - no store on-site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground has a wonderful assortment of nature and wooded campsites. If you like the back to nature but not quite boon docking feel this is a great park. When you stay at this campground you can almost be assured that you will have some wildlife be it a deer (sometimes multiple) or a wild turkey and even the occasional raccoon wander through your site. We love to camp here in the winter as the deer will stroll through the grounds like they own the place. (maybe they do) Winter camping is also nice here as you can be pretty much by yourself with typically 2 or 3 other units on the campground. We camp here in our hybrid camper often and I can't believe I missed the 05 winter season. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park. Would have enjoyed it better if the weather would have been a tad bit
warmer, we were not expecting snow in April for our spring vaction. Stayed here 2 days on our Natchez Trace Parkway journey. Lots of wildlife!! Like to of had 12 deer run over my 5 year old son. He got a kick out of it. I also had 2 turkeys visit me by the fire one night. I plan on returning here again. park deserves a 10 but weather made it a 9. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has 2 campgrounds. One campground is on the bank of a stream and the other is
in the middle of a forest. There is also a lake, swimming pool, playgrounds, paved hiking and bike trails, and a very nice resturant. We stayed in campground # 2 in the forest for 4 days, and I've never seen so many deer. Every day we would see deer passing through the woods behind our campsite, and along the road while driving through the park. Also, there is an Amish Community just north of Lawrenceburg. We drove through the community and stopped at several homes to purchase vegetables, bread, candy, etc (they have signs out by the mailbox if they have items to sell). It was like taking a trip back in time. If you go, just be aware that the Amish do not sell on Sunday. This was one of our favorite trips in the RV and we will definitely go back to this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful campground. Wooded sites. Pool is open to public and charges usage fee. We camped here in a camper.
Owners were really great. They accommodated us even though they were full with a rally and we showed up with no reservation. Level graded roads although the entrance is a sharp turn and quickly heads down a hill. Only complaint was really due to the weather - lots of rain meant lots of mud. They have a mild drainage problem but nothing we couldn't handle. Overall a bright spot on a rainy day. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Flat gravel park, with mostly long timers and highway construction workers. Friendly, helpful staff. Owners recently bought park, and are working on upgrades and expansion. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
