A Weekend Escape from Nashville
The campsite sits beside a quiet creek, bordered by soybean fields on one side and the water on the other. We were able to hang our hammocks over the creek bank which was fabulous!
The highlight of the site is the magnificent oak tree, estimated to be 200–300 years old. Sitting beneath a tree that has witnessed centuries of history was something truly special, and we can’t wait to return in the fall to see her autumn colors.
Nighttime is my favorite time at any camp, and this is my new #1 spot. Frogs called from every direction, barred owls echoed through the night, ducks chimed in occasionally, and the stillness between each sound was pure magic. I slept so good.
Before leaving, we drove around to see the other campsites on the property. The riverfront sites are directly on the Tennessee River and also appeared to offer plenty of privacy from one another. If you enjoy watching boats pass by and want immediate river access, they looked like fantastic options.
The host was welcoming and genuinely cares about his property. When he stopped by to deliver our firewood, I told him, “You didn’t do this place justice in the description!” The photos are beautiful, but they simply can’t capture how special this place feels once you’re there.
One tip for summer campers: bring insect repellent. The mosquitoes are plentiful, but that’s simply part of camping in a lush creekside environment and was a small tradeoff for such an incredible natural setting.
