Several glamping destinations near Grandview offer luxury camping experiences along scenic Tennessee waterways. Crazy Horse Recreational Park features glamping accommodations with electric hookups, shower facilities, and picnic tables along the Buffalo River. The campground maintains a family-friendly side with a 10pm quiet time across the river from their more social camping area. Heartstone Campground provides a more intimate glamping experience with primitive amenities but picturesque natural surroundings alongside a creek deep enough for wading. "We had so much fun! It really is in the woods, complete with songbirds to wake you up and crickets to sing you to sleep," noted one visitor.
Pickwick Dam Campground on the Tennessee River delivers waterfront glamping with clean facilities, electric hookups, and water service. The recently renovated grounds feature level sites with new grills and updated picnic tables. Campers appreciate the proximity to regional attractions like Shiloh National Military Park, golf courses, and local restaurants. One guest shared, "Beautiful clean campground. Everything well kept and manicured. Bath houses convenient and very clean." Thousand Trails Natchez Trace offers year-round glamping options with amenities including electric hookups, showers, and recreational facilities. Most glamping sites in the region require reservations, with peak season typically running spring through fall.

GuideEnded up at this location after a crappy night in Alabama. It was very clean nice location. Very nice Mississippi State Park Campground. All the staff were very friendly and Gary was a great guy that we chatted with for a bit after checking in. Restrooms were clean and air conditioned. Family type campgrounds with friendly happy campers. We will be back a lot more in the future.
GuideI have camped here twice so far and it is a nice, basic campground. We tent camped but there were a couple of RV's there, so I know there are places for them. It is on a nice stretch of the Tennessee River, and you can swim, fish, and boat there. Plenty of camp sites and very spacious. Popular with the locals and fairly secluded. Pretty woodland all around. There is a bathhouse with toilets, sinks, and cold showers. The bathhouse is pretty centrally located and there are electric lights around it. Usually not crowded. Plenty of dead wood to collect for firewood. There is a covered area with picnic tables near the bathhouse. Also a few picnic tables around the grounds. There are also plenty of trash cans and fire pits. You can park right next to your site. Very good for family camping. Within a few miles there are a couple of gas stations/convenience stores. Some cell service works out there, some not so much.
GuideThe sites are rather narrow with varying sizes and locations for outdoor living space. Pay close attention to the states website regarding vehicle size maximums. As I walk through the park, it appears that all spots are full hookup and paved. We are on site 43 and anything longer than 30 ft will be pushing it. As it is, our 25ft trailer fits nicely, but the truck is parallel parked across the end of my site in order to be off the road. The picnic table is behind the camper instead of on camp side, which isn’t my favorite setup but we are making due. Some sites have metal fire rings, while others (like ours) have rock circle pits. Some campsites on the hill side have no picnic table OR fire pits. They also have almost no room to walk around the RV without tumbling down the hill. Sites 62 and 64 aren’t terrible, but everything else from 59 and up is pretty bad. 25-34 and 51-54 are short and back up to a a hill. Would be great for Class B or smaller travel trailers. Sites 10-24 are in a separate area from the rest. 35-50 are down on a low flat area near the water and are the best if you like a view of the lake.
Bath house in our loop is clean, not completely out of date, and heated for cold weather camping. There is a small area with 2 set of pay washers/dryers and a few vending machines.
All in all, well worth the State’s $32/night charge.
LegendPROS
We were able to reserve 368 days prior to arrival
Very friendly and helpful check-in clerk
Fantastic view of the lake from site 45
Mostly quiet except for campground party animals until 3am!
Concrete parking pad
BBQ grill
Fire ring constructed of concrete pavers
Coin-operated washers/dryers in shower/toilet facility
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course
Good jumping off point for Shiloh Battlefield
CONS
Campsite 45 was full of litter…cigarettes butts, bones, bottle caps, pieces of chalk, straws, melted soda bottles…just nasty
Fire ring made of concrete pavers full of ash and trash upon arrival…again nasty Pedestal BBQ grill full of trash and ash upon arrival…more nastiness
Campers ignored basic rules/courtesy/respect such as keeping dogs on leash and walking through occupied campsites at anytime. One camper walking through our site complained to us our chairs on our site were in THEIR way.
No senior discount
Narrow site
Site 45 not level
Site 45 mostly fun sun
Basically we didn't experience any of the campground rules being enforced so obviously there is no management oversight at this State Park
Never saw a park ranger drive through the campground (Saturday-Monday)
Never saw a camp host or a campsite for a camp host
Campground quiet hours not enforced
Posted "No Swimming” from campsites along lake, but that didn’t stop a sole and no one enforced it
Concrete picnic table at end of parking pad, so at the bumper of the camper
Sites very close to each other with no vegetation between sites, so no privacy what so ever
Street lights throughout campground, so not dark sky friendly
Small playground, pool and mini-golf course not walkable from campground
Trash dumpsters outside of campground…not walkable
Twisty, steep and narrow roadway into campsite...not for novice rig drivers
Due to short campsites, tow vehicles had to be creative with parking, sometimes blocking most of the campground road, again no enforcement efforts
No WiFi
1 bar Verizon
GuideStayed at campground 1 site 20 and was very pleased! Very clean and well maintained! We tent camped and I like the concrete pad because didn’t have to worry about things getting wet from the ground. Has a 20 and 30 amp electric hook up and water beside. Nice fire pit and table also! Site 20 is located right beside shoal creek and with in walking distance to the restrooms and bathhouse!
LegendDavid Crockett State Park is near Lawrenceburg, Tn. Not huge but very outdoor enthusiast friendly.
2 campgrounds to choose from, #1 is the older if the two and has several sites that sit next to the water. Unfortunately these sites have limited camping area. It really depends on what you like within easy access. The other sites in #1 are a little larger. #2 sites have more room and shade and a newer showerhouse. When we visited there were only a few other campers and it was very peaceful and relaxing. Full hookup but no sewer on sites. The temperature at night has started dropping to cool enough and no bugs but not teeth chattering cold. My favorite type of camping weather. The fire is an enjoyable location after dark with a lite blanket in your lap and warm beverage nearby.
There are many sites to see but nothing spectacular. I say this because it means the tourists are not tramping through the area with trash and noise in their wake. To me this park had a more , I guess, homey atmosphere, if that makes sense. The staff had decorated the area in pumpkins and spider webs and the fall colors had just started changing the forest greens into a blanket of warm colors. There is a museum with water wheel on its side that has injured and recooperating wildlife housed next to it. There are trails to explore, fishing and other water sports. You could easily spend a week here just meandering through outdoor activities and sitting in a hammock chilling.
GuideThis place could be absolutely beautiful. Grounds are maintained. Plenty of camping spots, fire pits and tables. There are two sets of bathrooms with electricity and fans. Cold showers in one however there was no light or lock in the shower so my boyfriend had to be in there with me. Tennessee River was beautiful and had clear water. This place is also on a Frisbee golf course. Has separate area for rvs and tents. Rv side has all necessary hook up and everything is free even the dumping station HOWEVER THERE ARE TOO MANY BUMS LIVING HERE !
GuideWe pulled in with no plans and drove through the whole campground. There are 60 RV spots, pull thru and not, some parking lot style and some a along a creek. There are no trees or bushes between spots, but the whole campground is situated with forest and creek on one side and the Tuscumbia River on the other. We weren't positive what the deal was so we checked in with the host and paid $14 for one night.
Primitive tent spots are right on the river. There are fire pits, trees, and picnic tables sporadically placed. We pitched our tent facing the bluffs along the river and our hammock between two trees. It wasn't crowded and it was pretty quiet (no generators, no music, very family friendly and chill). The grass was cut, and though there were small ant piles everywhere, they really weren't in the way or aggressive. The bath-house is...not awesome. It's exactly what you'd expect for an older, gov-run park, with some spiders and leaky toilets, but toilets and showers are there.
It is a three minute drive into downtown Florence. Most of that is through the park, which is home to a good-sized marina, disc golf course, and (defunct?) driving range. It's super convenient, cheap, and kept up well enough. The view of the water and bluffs is A++, and it's fun to watch the speed boats and river cruises.
LegendThis review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.
Tennessee camping near Grandview offers a mix of primitive and full-service options along the Buffalo River watershed. Located in a region with an average elevation of 850 feet, the area features limestone bluffs and hardwood forests that create natural shade for many campsites. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-95°F with high humidity, making waterfront camping locations particularly desirable during peak season.
Kayaking the Buffalo River: Crazy Horse Recreational Park offers kayak rentals with shuttle service to various put-in points. "We love to come here for when we kayak the Buffalo. Plenty of open riverfront campsites and shuttles to or from the camp (depending on which route you take)," notes one visitor to Crazy Horse Recreational Park.
Visit Shiloh National Military Park: Located near Pickwick Dam Campground, this historical site attracts history enthusiasts. "It is also close to the Shiloh National Military Park which is the reason we are here," reports one camper who stayed at Pickwick Dam Campground.
Explore Amish Country: David Crockett State Park serves as a good base for exploring local Amish communities. "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," shares a visitor to David Crockett State Park.
Creek access for cooling off: Heartstone Campground offers creek access deep enough for sitting. "The creek makes a relaxing backdrop to your campfire time at night. The creek is deep enough to sit in, but not swim," explains a camper at Heartstone Campground.
Waterfront camping views: Many sites at Pickwick Dam provide direct water views. "Beautiful view on the TN River and the Pickwick Dam. The only negative is the noise and smell of the paper mill on the opposite side of the river," mentions one reviewer.
Quiet family-oriented areas: Crazy Horse Recreational Park maintains separate camping sections. "Has a family side and another rowdy side across the river. Family side quiet time begins at 10 pm," explains a visitor. Another adds, "There is a family side if you prefer a more quiet, kid-friendly atmosphere."
Primitive camping considerations: True yurt camping near Grandview, Tennessee, is limited, but primitive camping options abound. Heartstone Campground provides an authentic off-grid experience. "Heartstone is a primitive campground, with no hook-ups or electricity. They only allow dry camping for trailer campers. I'm pretty sure the limit for a Camper is 25'. Cell phone signals are spotty depending on your carrier, but they have a land line for emergencies."
Seasonal flooding impact: Some campgrounds experience periodic flooding. "This campsite was renovated after flooding occurred. Nice level sites! Our Super C Class did require more blocks for leveling in the front on Site 6," reports a camper at Pickwick Dam Campground.
Bathroom facilities vary widely: Facility quality differs between campgrounds. "The bathrooms start out pretty clean, but can quickly get nasty with the traffic of kayak renters and other campers. Showers also are pretty cold on a weekend night," notes a Crazy Horse visitor.
Waterfall access for kids: David Crockett State Park offers natural water features. "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!" reports a visitor to J.P. Coleman State Park.
Kid-friendly amenities: Some parks offer recreational facilities. "There is a pool, lots of activities, great clubhouses, and large sites," notes a camper at Thousand Trails Natchez Trace.
Natural wake-up calls: Tent and yurt camping options provide natural surroundings. "It really is in the woods, complete with songbirds to wake you up and crickets to sing you to sleep," shares a Heartstone visitor about the rustic camping experience.
Site length considerations: Check site dimensions before booking. "We had a corner site and we were really too long for the site, we're 42' long. The electric and water were all in one spot which was at the very end of the camper," cautions a visitor at Buffalo I-40-Exit 143 KOA.
Leveling challenges: Prepare for potentially uneven terrain. "The sites were on hills- which it is Tennessee...but we had a difficult time getting our camper level as it went down hill due to the fact we had to pull up so far it set the camper downhill," notes the same KOA visitor.
Water and electric placement: Hookup locations vary between sites. "The site was well kept. There were hardly any blood sucking bugs and no wildlife for protect our stuff from. I think part of that is this site had flooded and rebuilt recently," shares a Pickwick Dam camper about their experience.
