Best Glamping near Dresden, TN

Great easy drive from middle Tennessee with tons of great amenities and staff.

Piney Campground is part of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. It is wildly popular among locals and travelers alike. Lots to do for kids - bike paths, basketball court, multiple playgrounds, etc. Beautiful views of Kentucky Lake/Tennessee River, nice campground store.

4.5 Rounded up. Restrooms and showers were clean. It was very active during one of the last weekends of the season. While quiet hours were observed, there was a lot of music, celebrating a Tennessee win with a golf cart parade and victorious choral singing of Rocky Top right up until 11pm. Beautiful lake views, good camp store and great amenities.

Mansard has many positives but the big drawback is the scenery. At the time of visiting the area, the grounds were not well maintained. There was tall grass, fallen trees, and uprooted stumps scattered everywhere. There is also the remnants of an empty swimming pool. While the place may not be the most appealing, each lot offers the basics of water and electricity as well as a picnic table. Mansard also has a playground and pavilion. The site is also attached to the Sunset Bay Marina and is easily accessible. The gravel roads have many ruts in them so be careful. While Mansard may not be well maintained, it offers the basics and a couple of decent amenities.

We camped for 9 days the end of July. This campground is small but super nice! All spots have lots of shade which is always a plus for summer camping! They have a very nice pool and pool area, huge laundromat, a fun gemmine for the kiddos! The camp store is stocked with necessities and fun things! Staff super helpful and nice!

A spectacular secluded location with great pull thru sites. Shaded. Lots of activities and possibilities for the whole family. Great patio sites as well. Every staff member we have met has been awesome and amazing.

Had a nice time. Not a ton of stuff for the kids to do, but staff is very friendly and the shower house is nice and clean. Close to fishing.

Got here early Friday and was already quite full. By 8 pm the air was full of the smell of camp fires and bbqs and yet was still nice and quiet at our rv.

Amazing family atmosphere made to feel welcome by staff and other guests. Perfect weekend start

Buchanan Resort is a well maintained resort with access to many amenities like a restaurant, pool, playground, pavilion, and store. The docks are easily accessible being close to the lots. The lots at the resort campground have water and electricity as well as a picnic table and a simple, stationary, charcoal grill. If you do not have an RV then they have cottages to be rented out. This resort is a great place to stay overall.

The spot was nice, the park was lovely, but the road noise was bothersome. We were in a spot pretty far from the road but it was very noticeable. Bathrooms were nice, restaurant was closed for the season.

I grew up going here and I absolutely adored this place! We’d go here for swimming, camping and the 4th of July!

A bit loud with road noise.

Close to the marina it's a hard walk uphill both ways to the bathroom but they are very nice and well kept. Big open areas for children to play overall very good state park campground

I enjoyed my visit to Paris Landing state park. I was there with a large group of people from UAB, Vanderbilt, and Fisk for a Developmental Biology retreat. The hotel has great rates and is perfect for large groups, though it has a 1980s feel to it. The park itself is huge with miles of trails and basketball/tennis courts and volleyball courts. There are pavilions available for cookouts and BBQs, and our group had a catered dinner to one of the pavilions. I did not use the lake at all, but it looked very nice.

It's a tight fit and our rig is only 22.5' TT. Our back in site was to the left on a one way road that I had to turn around and go opposite way so we could get in. Had water and electrical hook up but the 30 amp was fried. Luckily it also had 20 amp so power management was key. There was no water when we pulled in luckily I had fill my fresh water before leaving. Water came back on about 1 hour after arriving, water pressure was very low. Grounds are next to the highway so we heard a lot of loud traffic. Staff was friendly, they did come look at my electric hook up but didn't have the parts to repair it. There is a dump station onsite. If I go back I'll pick a different spot in the park that's not difficult to get in. I would stay again though. I was told by staff there are future improvements coming.

Small campground. Has showers. Close to marina. You can rent boats there. Has separate access to swimming area, you don't have to try to cross the boa busy highway. Nice restaurants just up road.

We were traveling in a 44 foot motorhome and had enough space to perk out toad in front of the Coach. Nice pool area and well maintained.

Great wildlife and leaf peeping in the fall! The hiking trails we found were perfect length for the kids (ages 5-9 at the time) but not for more serious hikers. Sports fields, pool, restaurant, and other activities make this a less nature-oriented campground but there’s boating too. There’s a hotel and some kind of conference center that had a wedding. Some of the campground is very open but most is wooded. Sites are kinda close but the trees make it easy to ignore your neighbors. Nice built up resort kind of state park.

Another great Tn State Park! The campground layout is odd. Some sites are pointed the wrong direction on a one way road, so you just have to drive it backwards. Most sites are small, but there are a few longer ones. Seems like many are unlevel. Our picnic table was at a very noticeable slant. The bathhouse was really nice, felt new and was very clean. The staff and park rangers were very nice. Only 1 bar of service with AT&T.

I loved staying here!! Met some really nice people and went on a group kayaking trip with two rangers who were very nice and informative. Will definitely be back!

We visited at the end of the season. The campground was right next to the marina and an overpass allows you to cross over to the other side where the lodge and golf course are.

Paris Landing State Park has about 70 campsites, most with water and electric hookups, but it is not easy to fine a level site. (There are 18 “primitive campsites” with no service. My brother stayed at one of their cabins.) The campground is in a hardwood forest, so there is lots of shade. Plus, it is right on Kentucky Lake, so there is swimming, fishing and boating. There is a pool and golf course. There is canoeing nearby.

Large park with marina, tennis, boat rental, beaches and more. My spot was spacious and shaded.

Very nice campground on Ky Lake

One great thing about here is the beautiful lake nearby! My family and I spent our entire day here and had an absolute blast. The lake front views are incredible. You have the option to camp right next to the lake and have the best view ever. They also have spots for RVs for electrical hookups. The sites are amazing because they are orettt big. We fit my dads big truck and all our tents in the campsite we had. There is a small beach area, bike trail which was a lot of fun, an archery range, theater, and great hiking trails. The campfire theater was amazing! You honestly can’t beat that. Some other things we enjoyed were:

• boat ramp
• cabins available- although we didn’t stay here
• fishing
• area to play basketball, and big grass areas for other activities.
• Everything was in walking distance

I would definitely call and make reservations beforehand. It wasn’t very busy. The cost is pretty cheap too. For a basic, tent campsite it was $12. More expensive if you use the electrical hookup areas. When we went it was pretty Smokey. There were some fires nearby and the smoke just settled in. That was the only downside of our trip.
