Two separate campgrounds spread across David Crockett State Park, with Campground 1 hugging Shoal Creek and Campground 2 nestled higher in the wooded hills. All sites include water and electrical hookups but no sewer connections, with a dump station available in the second loop.
Campground 1 places several sites directly alongside the creek, though these waterfront spots come with trade-offs. "Most of the sites next to the water are not very deep which means you are squeezed in between the road and the creek," explains Alicia B.. These creek-adjacent sites also offer limited shade. The upper sites in Campground 1 provide more space and tree cover. Campground 2 draws repeat visitors for its deeper, more private sites with substantial shade canopy and recently renovated bathhouses.
Wildlife encounters happen regularly throughout both areas. Campers frequently spot deer and turkey near their sites, particularly in early morning hours. The park's trail system leads to Crockett Falls, where visitors can wade and play in the water during warmer months. A museum showcases rescued raptors including hawks and owls, while the lake supports fishing and boating with equipment rentals available at the pier shop.
Site conditions vary significantly across the campgrounds. While some reviewers praise level, paved sites, others report substantial unlevel conditions requiring extensive adjustments. Ellyce T. found site 43 "over 4 inches off side to side and 6 front to back" despite being listed as level. The park operates seasonally with Loop 1 typically closed during winter months.
For campers wanting additional options in the area, campgrounds around Lawrenceburg include several private RV parks within a few miles of the state park.
