Anderson Road Campground

Stopped for one afternoon and night on our way through. Driving in through da hood you get a questionable feeling but, once through the gate and checked in this is a fantastic little campground! We picked an awesome site- number 8 is a huge pull through with water and electric, a grill, prep table, picnic table, and fire ring with grill. The site has its own path and private lake access. The lake is rocky here but we had no trouble walking in and swimming with our Crocs on. All sites in this small loop campground are great and very large. There is some erosion and there was some trash near the lake that we gladly cleaned up. Overall a fantastic place to camp.

If you need a campsite with nicer amenities and want to feel super safe, check this place out. Mostly secluded campsites with showers, toilets, and sinks.

Basic. Friendly guard house, water spots have hookups, others non electric. Paved to park with little picnic area. The state bird comes out in full force so be prepared (mosquitos). Spot 36 is steps from the bathroom if you like that close. See map. Surrounding area isn’t a super safe part of Nashville. I would hands down go to Poole Knobs Campground down the road if it has availability instead.

The area is clearly designed for RVs, not tents, which was fine since I had my campervan. I did notice, however, some the the sites had seriously sloping drives so lots of leveling would have been required. The area is heavily wooded.y site had no view of the lake but some do. Most that have beach access also have electric. There are 10-12 of those sites. The remainder are primitive. The only water is near the dump station. To access the lake if you don't have a lake site requires driving to a separate area. The bathhouse is fine. Most sites seem to be large enough for a couple of tents and vehicles. Verizon service was adequate. No wifi.

Guns shots in the surrounding area in the overnight periods. I don't think they were originating from inside the campground. Also, campground is near the Nashville airport so air traffic can be heard. Generators are allowed in the campground.

I hate leaving bad reviews, but I have to this time. This campground advertised tent camping and that is clearly not true. Spent 3 nights (mostly because we couldn't go anywhere else) with our tent in a literal runoff ditch. Other sites had tents squished in the trees and there was absolutely no flat spot to even pretend is a tent pad. Also, there was broken glass all over the site and only 1 drinkable water pump (which was right next to the rv dump station pump. Gross). The camp attendants were super nice though and it's close to Nashville. So if you have an rv, great! If you have a tent, I strongly recommend somewhere else.

This location is a bit rocky at times, but wide open, with many different spots go get into the water, so you can feel as secluded or as social as you like.

this place is gorgeous. the lady that checked us in was great. we would definitely camp here again.

Has nice space between sites, with great views.

nice beach area

large sites right on the lake. toliets and showers were nice and clean. pets are allowed. we stayed in a primitive site but rv hook ups are available in other parks of the park, and some are right on the lake.

Great camping on the lake. Almost every spot has a great view. Some spots have electric. If you’re like me and all you need is a great view this is it!

I made a tour of campgrounds and lake recreation spots near Nashville TN during an extended trip where I had to be there to keynote some conferences. This spot was among my favorites.

Camping- The camping is normal. Nothing special, but perfectly adequate. All you need and nothing more. The spots are beautiful though. Right on the water.

Think how awesome it'd be to fish for supper right from the tent almost.

Grounds- The grounds here were very well kept. There's a great short fitness trail that's well marked and great for a small getaway.

There are also some great spots to get on the lake that are more private than the area around the campground and boat ramp.
