We are a quiet, year round campground nestled in the heart of Amish country in southern middle Tennessee. Our small campground borders Tennessee's oldest Amish farm, now the Amish Heritage Farm Museum which provides enchanting views of the farm, horses and spectacular sunsets. If it's peace and quiet you're after, you have found it! From the steady clip clop of Amish horse and buggies passing by, to the faint sound of roosters crowing in the morning, our campground offers something truly special. Leave the hustle and bustle behind, and enjoy the slow paced life of Amish country. For more info visit: https://www.facebook.com/RestCamp

We camped in campground #2 in lot 85, my sister camped in 84 right beside us and my parents rented a cabin. It was super nice, campsites were very nice, bathrooms and showers were clean, the cabin was very nice and enough room for 8 people. The camp host was very nice and helpful, the waterfalls were gorgeous! They recently opened Crockett Tubing we had so much fun the whole family got to go! We will definitely continue this 4th of July family tradition!!!!

Something for everyone! Tent spots, RV spots, cabins, back country spots! Lots of recreation opportunities here too! The lakes are great!

Excellent campsite. We stay at the primitive campsites but they do have small cabins that you can stay in. They have restrooms and showers if you need them. The staff is super friendly and we always have a great time.

This place is run down full of none members. Looks like a run down trailer park sheds over camper washer and dryers in storage building loud ATV people making this there prememant resident,s cabins are rented out to monthly residents just a junk yard

Henry Horton State Park has that back country lived in feel. Probably has something to do with the multitude of kinfolk wandering about:)
South of Nashville, Tn 31A runs right through the middle of the actual park.
Duck River runs through the park and is a main focus of the entertainment with rental places picking up tubers from on the road into the tent area. (Yes, I received several dirty looks for driving on the road toward the tent area.) I parked in the restroom area as the road was completely blocked with children, inner tubes and adults.
The tent area had BIG sites that would easily fit several tents and trees for hammocks. There are 10 sites. The river was at the rear of the tent area as well as a trail Adeline Wilhoite River trail that followed the river. There are also primitive campsites available if your backpacking through located near the observation deck on the Adeline Wilhoite River trail loop.
The bathhouse is newer and well kept. There is a playground in the middle of the campground area, in front of the visitors office. ( pretty awesome looking sandpit)
The RV area is adjacent through the woods it has 56 sites. The sites looked adequate, but from what I saw they were close together. There may have been more space further in.
There is an Inn and cabins available also on the other side of the park/river.
We enjoyed the trails , just gotta say BUG SPRAY :) Keep your eyes open for critters and there are bikers using several of the trails.Wilhoite Mill Trail is one of the features of the park, which leads to a historic mill.
So pack your banjo and yak and git on out to Henry Horton State Park for a good ole time !
LegendFor several months while living in TN, we spent almost every weekend at Henry Horton State Park. It’s not quite an hour from Nashville. We always got a primitive site, shady site. I was never disappointed by any of our sites and never felt cramped or too close to other campers.
HH has RV sites, cabins, “hammock sites,” and a large group site. They also have a camp store, firewood, and restrooms. Rates are pretty standard. Backcountry primitive hike-in sites are $8.
Interactive heritage festivals and other activities frequently came to the center across the street. I don’t really recall if this is part of the park or not.
TravelerVery beautiful place ! Cabins are spacious clean and furnished ! Dishes to use and pots and pans ! Even shower towels ! ! Right by the water and last minute reservations ! There’s Lots of stuff to find yourself doing to relaxing by the water to playing bingo at the hall ! To renting a kayak or pontoon ! Has dog park and swimming pool and beach area ! Has laundry rooms and bath n shower houses heck ya ! Rec center was closed due under construction put you can shoot pool and lounge around play foosballs and air hockey ! Movie theater ! But volley balls an racket ball n swimming pool at the rec center was closed but front pool was open ! Great place most definitely need to be a member for yearly round visits !!!

In this area there are not a lot of camping areas. When searching for something to put you close to the Natchez Trace you have basically two options one considered to be dry camping and this one which is improved camping equipped for primitive tent campers, RVs or those wanting a cabin get away.
I chose to explore this campsite because of its location and proximity to so many hiking areas including the Jackson Falls and Falls Hollow which is a pretty iconic stops along the Trace. I liked that this campground had more than one tent camping zone for you to select: deep woods, field or beach all for only $10 a person or $20 for a family of four. Pretty nice to have the primitive camping feeling with the nearby access to amenities such as a bathhouse , pavilion and restaurant.
I chose to check out the beach camping which places you right on the Big Swan River in several separate areas. You really have some of the best views and nicest places to sleep right here along the bends as you can hear the water trickling. It is pretty amazing.
I chose to be closer to the river itself than the Falls Hollow Falls, it wasn't flowing very much when I was visiting according to the clerk who checked me in and they opted that Jackson would probably be a better bet for seeing a falls flowing. It too was a little less than I had hoped but understandable considering that they are fed by mountain streams and not some of the larger sources many of the other falls I have seen have been. Still great for hiking!
Temps by the water were a bit cooler than the RV sites which seemed much more exposed to the elements. But there also were a lot of mosquitoes so I would recommend coming prepared with some bug spray.
TIPS:
GuideI've grown up going to Montgomery Bell State Park and have been camping there for 23 years. The campground has water and electric hookups, space for RVs, and bathrooms with showers.
The campground is adjacent to a creek and a baseball diamond. In addition to these features, the park offers a lake for boating as well as a roped off swimming area and man-made beach. Next to the lake is the park lodge which includes a restaurant, meeting rooms, and a swimming pool. The lake also has a picnic pavilion with restrooms.
The park was built on an historic home site so there is an old chapel (which still has services) and an old log home as well as a small family cemetery. There are also a number of hiking trails, a suspension bridge, and very nice, modern cabins available to rent.
Guide
Many improvements have been made since last year. The pull thru sites have been widened and are more accommodating for larger RVs. They are working on adding a few more pull thru sites as well. The sites are gravel and mostly level. All sites are FHU. They do offer short term monthly rates which are back in sites that have a little more room. There are 4 rustic cabins available, and the bathhouses are reserved currently for those guests only due to COVID. The laundry room is only open Fri-Sun. There are no fire rings on the sites, but you can rent a fire pit with a screen. There are also community fire pits for everyone to enjoy. There is a playground, hammock hut, and game area for the kids to stay entertained. The owners, managers, and staff are all great and you can see the hard work they are putting in to continue to upgrade this campground.
ScoutGreat place for camping on the river!! Clean and friendly. Kayak and canoe rentals on site.
LegendGreat place for a pit stop and the greenery is beautiful. Its always refreshing to get away and this park is safe and quiet.
TravelerThe creek is perfect for little ones and dogs to walk in. Nice and shady, restrooms were clean. Quiet to just relax and sit back. Great getaway.
TravelerI’ve used my hammock in their “hammocks only” sites and I’ve done the hike-in backcountry sites and love this place. As a resident of the Franklin area, it’s super close to get away for the weekend.
GuideWe've stayed 6 times at MB, it's my partners fave place to go.
FAMILIES +++ With a great pavilion, Vb court, ball diamond, and playground, the far side of the camp is perfect for families, groups, and events. Our fave sites are 1-8, with #1+2 right next to the creek and the most updated bathrooms. If you don't want kiddos walking through your campsite to get to the playground, you may want to choose a higher number.
BATHROOMS there's three bathroom facilities; two newer ones and an older one. Ironically, the older one has a washer and dryer, bring quarters. Far side of the camp has tents and creekside spots, but a lot.of folks with big RVs tend to do the middle spots, they're more easily accessible.
ICE AND FIREWOOD Are for sale, $5 a bag/bundle. Super helpful staff. Unlike most camps that have gates, you can pull in, and simply stop with enough room for others to go around.
THINGS TO DO There's some historic hiking trail, historic old church/cabins, as well as the welcome center, the Inn, lake to swim, and a golf course nearby.
DRIVE AROUND With such an expansive park, aside from the camping area, you'll want to drive around to see everything, and bring your walking shoes if you prefer to hike.
Check out the creekside campsites and book early if you want to accommodate your group OR get a spot. Sites are able to booked 6 months ahead, so think ahead.

I’m hesitant to write this review because this is our new close-to-home GO-TO camping spot and we don’t want it to get booked up. 😆 It is new, quiet, and extremely well-priced. Our lakeside spot was $60 per night. Our other lake resort stays in this area have been at least double that! There is a gated entrance, which I like. The staff here is unbelievably welcoming and friendly. The crew is constantly working on cleaning, landscaping and maintenance. This morning they were raking the beach sand because it rained yesterday. There are plenty of pet waste stations and attractive (seriously)trash bins spaced throughout the park. The sites are concrete, level and roomy with full hookups (great water pressure!), new picnic tables and fire rings. There is not one bad location on the lakeside sites. Our personal faves are 69 thru 81...odds/lakefront. There is a swimming beach (see pic) as well as several relaxing spots, a playground, a bark park and a dog washing station (see pic!). There is a bath house, laundry (with 4 brand-new LG front loading washers), a gym (with a universal, an elliptical and a treadmill) and a small store. See pics! Bathhouse is spotless. It is attached to the marina (but the marina is situated on the far end)and they rent kayaks, paddle boards, and golf carts. There are three docks with kayak and jet ski slips. The view of Percy Priest is incredible and serene. I seriously can not recommend this place highly enough. ***They are going to be adding tiny houses, cabins and aqua houses (think Bali, but closer😉).

Ashley here with The Dyrt! I loved working with this host to get their 2 cottages listed for you to visit. This is 15 acres of private property and perfect for taking a stroll, listening to the birds, or sipping your morning cup of coffee on the porch. Get away from it all while being close by and book your spot today! Don't forget to leave them some love here.
Guide
First come first serve sites. Shaded campsites. Electrical available side has spots pretty close together so we always choose to primitive camp here. Water is available as well as clean bathhouses. Love the rental service. Very pretty spot for swimming. If you camp on the campsite on the same side of the road as the outfitter’s ofc, it can turn into a “party” crowd. The family friendly, quiet side is across the river.
GuideAt only 35-40 minutes away from downtown Nashville, it is a great weekend or even one night getaway. There are both primitive and RV hookup sites. The hosts that were there when I went were very friendly and helpful. It's not backcountry camping but it is a great campground. There are also a few nice trails that connect right to the back of the campground.
TravelerSmall, but nice state park. Has a small lake and dock for fishing, paddling, etc... They have rentals on site. Has a few miles of decent flat trails, all of which are young kid friendly. Pool and restaurant were closed due to COVID so check that before you go. Both campsites are good, lots of shade, not too close to each other. Campground 1 has lots of sites next to the creek that runs through the park. Creek is great for wading and catching crayfish. Campground 2 is newer and "nicer" but not next to the creek. Very well maintained state park.
LegendWe camped in Campground #1 and had a great time at this beautiful state park! The clear creek to play in is gorgeous! The park had so much to offer. Lots of hiking trails, covered bridge, fishing lake w/boat & kayak rentals plus a beautiful waterfall that is great for sunsets! The bathhouse was a bit far from our campsite, but it was new and had private showers!! (Our favorites!)
We also explored the downtown square and then drove out to Amish country. We had the best time driving from house to house to purchase different goodies.
GuideI first visited Montgomery Bell State Park as part of a large group outing with my church. We had a huge space just for our community for the big BBQ we had, but it was the rest of the park that really impressed me. There were tons of nice walking trails and a beautiful lake. I enjoyed renting paddle boats for the first time ever and cruising around the lake.
High recommendation particularly for large groups looking to get away from Nashville without traveling too far.
TravelerStayed for 5 days on a lakeside site- it was beautiful, mostly clean (goose droppings), and pretty spacious! Still a new campground next to an established marina. Some construction is still going. They are adding more sites and a small pool to the existing amenities like a beach, a hammock pergola, dog washing station, and wave runner rentals. Only 2 dislikes- Canadian geese roam around leaving poop trails everywhere and the mayflies swarm into your rig if you have lights on at night. Otherwise, I love seeing the geese, their babies, the mallards, the sun rise, and the sun set on the water.
GuideThe primitive camping sites are directly across from three group sites, each of which accommodate up to FIFTY people. The problem with this is that most folks, like me, book primitive campsites because they are looking to get away from the noise in the RV campground. There was no peace and quiet to be had, unfortunately, because there were several gigantic groups of kids camping in the group sites across from us. The noise was truly constant up until quiet hours. We were camping with another couple who was unable to get their young child to sleep until very late because of all the noise. Speaking of kids, one of the parents in the jamboree across the street thought it was acceptable to bring her kids over to play in our campsite.
If you're looking for a Bonnaroo type camping experience with lots of cars, activity, and noise, you will enjoy the primitive sites here. If not, I would actually suggest booking in the main RV campground or camping elsewhere.
On the plus side, the sites were well-maintained and site 15 was scenic and spacious.

Most campgrounds in Tennessee are buried in the woods, but not this yurt campsite at Ray of Hope. The yurt sets on the side of a beautiful Tennessee Hill offering almost a complete view of the nighttime sky. We watched the moon rise over a hill directly in front of the campsite, and we even saw a brilliant shooting star blaze across the sky for what seems like an eternity. The Ray of Hope campground is a private campground that went above and beyond our expectations. The yurt was clean, included battery powered lights and a LED lantern, and a full sized bed that made the night pass with ease. The campsite also offers free firewood and a large fire ring. There are two deck chairs at the campsite which are perfect for stargazing. The entrance of the yurt faces sunrise and the farm animals serenade you in the morning when the mist begins to burn off the valley. There is a well stocked outside shower surrounded by sweet smelling herbs. Water and a toilet are near the shower stall. The campsite is near the small town of Petersburg, TN where you can find two gas stations and a Dollar Store. If it's hot outside, you might want to bring a battery operated fan. This place is a perfect glamping experience for an extended date or weekend in beautiful Tennessee.
TravelerThis park is not only absolutely beautiful, the high level customer service makes your stay even more enjoyable. Want a slice of Tennessee? This is it. All RV parks should take note. This is how it is done. Amazing views of the lake. Beautiful level concrete pads. Spacious sites for everyone. Totally impressed! We stayed in the winter. I can imagine the summer months are incredible Go Go Go

My second time visiting PRRR. I've stayed three times since this review. I stayed up the hill on a corner lot during the 4th of July. It was my first time and it was a wonderful experience. I had plenty of space to roam around in the river even while visiting during a peak time. So naturally I booked again and ended up snagging a beautiful riverside location at pad #9 The park owner Casey and Grounds manager Mike are the best and so gracious. I had a wonderful time exploring the property. Full hooks ups and a level pad made setup a breeze. Allen the park host even guided us in our spot and gave assistance getting back in. They do a great job keeping the grounds clean and well manicured. I love this spot and it will be a regular stop here in Tennessee. Some of the best access to the Piney right here. Highly recommend!
