The best lakeside camping near Pegram

·

Pegram packs in over 740 lake camping options, many right on the water or just steps away. Expect a mix of shady sites and open spots with big-sky views, all averaging about $37 a night—though you’ll find places as low as $20. Fishing and hiking are a given, but horseback riding pops up often, too. Pets are welcome across most sites, and you’ll find showers and campfire rings at many spots. Campers rave about Camp Nashville Highland Rim (254 reviews) for its peaceful setting, Wild Meadows atop Rutherford County (77 reviews) for wide-open space, and Middle TN Outdoor Escape (34 reviews) for easy lake access. I’ve camped this area for years: bring a rod, plan for a campfire supper, and expect early mornings heavy with fog rolling off the lake.
