Blue Heron Campground: A Hidden Gem of History and Nature Nestled along the Tennessee River, Blue Heron Campground offers a unique blend of rich history and natural beauty. Once home to the Cherokee Indians, this 358-acre property is surrounded by water on all sides, boasting a mile-and-a-half shoreline. Just to the north, a designated 20-mile Wildlife Refuge begins, following the river and offering plenty of opportunities for nature enthusiasts. The land itself is a treasure trove, with rich farmland that has grazed cattle and now offers primitive camping with no services, located just 10 miles west of Lobelville, Tennessee. People's Landing, now a swim beach and sand boat ramp, was once a bustling port of commerce. Before the advent of good roads, steamboats, ferry boats, and trains were the primary means of transportation. Just north of People's Landing, Daniel's Landing housed a post office and small store, serving the local community. The Tennessee River is one of only three rivers in the United States that flow north, making it a unique feature of the region. Today, visitors can enjoy camping, fishing, or simply watching the boats and barges pass by. For those looking to explore, a 20-mile day trip to Loretta Lynn's ranch or a 70-mile journey to Nashville awaits. The campground offers 358 acres of open meadows and forests to hike and explore, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife and a beautiful sunset over the river to end the day. Blue Heron Campground is truly a hidden gem, offering a perfect escape into history and nature.

Weekend Trip to Blue Heron Landing

Don's land was perfect for our quick overnight stop. We stayed in one of the spots near the back of the property and we were the only people back there so it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. It was very quiet and being right on the river was a plus. We even go to see a couple of barges go by while we were drinking coffee in the morning.

I can’t express enough how peaceful it is to stay at Don’s place. Blue Heron Landing is nothing short of an oasis. He’s an amazing host on an amazing piece of Earth. The water is way down this time of year, allowing so much more beach exploring. Despite not wanting everyone to know about it, I have to say… you’ve really got to see this space. Especially if you want a place to camp that feels all your own.

Riverside camp site was awesome! Well groomed and very secluded. Directions were easy to follow. I believe I stayed at the very last site and felt like I owned paradise. Cleared areas are much larger than needed, which creates a ‘safe’ piece of mind in such a remote area. The gravel road in could use a bit of TLC if you’re heading to the back forty, but it forces you to go slow and take in the beauty. Coyotes got to yippin around midnight, but that seems to be quite familiar in these areas. Highly recommend it if you are looking to get away from all that bothers you! Don’t forget your fishing pole!

Weekend Trip to Blue Heron Landing

An incredibly picturesque site! We brought paddle boards and kayaks and paddled to the other side of the river each day—an easy and enjoyable trek. We picked the second site and it had perfectly spaced trees for hammocks and took hammock naps daily. We enjoyed the dark sky so much at night and could not believe how many stars we could see! We were thankful for clear nights because the night sky was absolutely breathtaking. We loved seeing the barges go by day and night—infrequent enough that it was an “event” every time we saw one but enough that we got to see a few while there! Pro tip—don’t run out of bug spray, even if it’s the last day and you’re just packing up and heading out. The bottom of my legs were so itchy for a week afterward—definitely not mosquito bites, I’m not sure what but me but it bit a lot! All said, we will absolutely be back, fully stocked with bug spray!

Such a beautiful site, it was nicely mowed and right on the river. We enjoyed our time there very much as did our dog. Dons directions to get back to the sites were spot on. Very secluded and private as we were the only ones staying. We did hear other camps up the river, not bothersome though. This is definitely a spot for nature lovers or stargazers. A black bear did swim across the river at night and it made landfall right by our camp! Crazy to see it up so close and I mean close! After shining our light at it thankfully it turned around and headed down the beach the other way. So be sure to keep all your food and trash away from your tent at night! We definitely plan to make a trip back. Thank you Don for sharing your beautiful piece of land!

An incredible camping experience!! We have boondocked in our 13ft travel trailer before, mainly at state parks. Camping on Don’s land has elevated our camping experience. We were able to experience camping without light pollution and very little noise pollution for the first time. Life changing for us. The serenity of it all had us in awe. The sites were well kept with a very natural feel. We came in on a Wednesday night and left on a Saturday afternoon. We had the place to ourselves until Friday night and barely realized the other guest down the way. Very remote and private. I loved the “speak easy” feel of the entry gates. IYKYK where they are. LOL. The instructions provided were spot on. We came in at night and had no problems. The sites are not marked though and you have to figure out the boundaries. Would recommend arriving before night fall if you are a first time visitor. But, it’s first come first serve so you can’t go wrong. Just pull up! LOL The drive through the fields is beautiful. The roads are dirt and do have dips in them. I loved it in that I haul with a 4X4 mid size pick up. Gave me a overlanding feel. There are also other sites on the property to visit with great views. Half mile or more hike on the property. Don was very nice and responsive on the app and provided firewood we purchased on the app. He was going to stop by but we arrived late. The land gave us everything we needed. It’s our new favorite spot!!!
