Cedar Creek (TN)

We used this as an overnight stop on our way to Georgia. Google Maps was right on for getting us here. The park was well maintained and the bathrooms were clean. There is water and electricity on site with a dump station at the back of the park. The sites along the lake have great views. Nights were quiet.

We pulled in about 7 PM. We found our ticket for the campsite taped to the window of the booth. Reatroom are clean a little chilly As we were in beginning of April. It was a very quiet campground this time of year. Very clean and well maintained.

We stayed at site 1 for 3-nights. We had a squirrel eating and dropping his acorns on our travel trailer. We found it a fun addition to our experience. When we arrived on Sunday afternoon,there were passes for cars taped to the window but our was not there. There was no one in the booth. Despite this we found our site easily near the entrance gate and got set up. We got our vehicle pass the next day. The bathrooms were campsite clean, not hotel clean, which met my expectations. I wrongly believed the sites had sewer based on the Dyrt icons but they only meant they have a dump station at the camp ground. Sites do not have sewer. This location is about 20 mins to Nashville and there is plenty to see for fun. Be careful driving in as there are a ton of deer in the late afternoons along the road.

Looking forward to our 10 day reservation. Arrived a little early , and the old man at the entrance was so bloody rude. All he could get out of his mouth was ‘you can’t get in till three, so you gotta leave’. He told me ‘you can go back to where you came from’. His arm was in a sling so maybe he was in pain and is not normally so rude, but we cancelled

We are on a cross country trip. And stopped here for 3 night 2 and half days and we couldn't be happier about this place! We were at site 34 and it was probably one of the best sites they have! Shade and privacy bushes on both sides of us. Most sites didn't have this feature. We also had a amazing view of the river! Fire pit and a little table we used for cooking plus a picnic table. We had a tent and it was such perfect weather breezy and warm. We were 30 mins away from Nashville spent a day over there. We were here during the week so it was way less crowded. The camp site is a little pricey for us but worth every cent spent!!

RV pads are in great shape. All of them are level and come with a fire pit, nice picnic table, and an extra wooden table for tabletop grills or whatever else you want to use them for. Bathrooms are good enough. It looks like most or all sites have a view of the water. The shoreline is clean and the grass is mowed everywhere.

The listing here says there are sewer hookups. I don’t see them at any of the sites, so I’m assuming there is a dump station. We only stayed one night passing through, so we didn’t mess with any of that. I also saw something that only listed 50 amp hookup. My spot also has a 30 amp hookup in case you need that and don’t have the dog bone.

Large sites. Lots of grass for tents. Great people we’re running it. Right on the water. Worth the price.

Stopped in just for a night while driving across many states. The check in gate wasn't attended at the time and directed us to make a reservation online. We were able to drive the campground and select a spot then simply pay online. Very easy. Sites are very well-maintained with mix of shade and sun. Nice coated metal mesh large picnic table and fire ring. Restrooms are clean, well lit etc. Sites closer to the waterfront are beautiful and more spread out than the inland sites.

My family camper at Cedar Creek campground in September 2020. The park was very child-friendly and clean. It was close to the water for fishing and had an adorable playground. Shower houses were conveniently placed and clean. The only problem we had was the parking circles oddly number and a little confusing to follow.

We came from Idaho to Tennessee in May for two weeks and this was our first campsite. We fell in love with peaceful walks along the river, watching the ducks and birds along with a few turtles 🐢. Coffee just hits you different when watching the sun shimmer on a glass lake. Bathrooms are very clean, dump station is easy to access, the people were kind. Make sure you walk around the whole place and see the most beautiful HUGE old tree. Just standing under it's branches makes you feel so small, but so safe. Can't wait to visit again, could have stayed forever.

This campground was nice and quiet and convenient to the cute town of Mount Juliet. Sites a little closer then I like or expect from COE/state parks. Bathrooms near to the entrance were a little dated, but the ones near the dump station were nicer. The playground/beach area was nice. The laundry was literally 1 washer and 1 dryer behind the bathrooms near the entrance (outside under an overhang). We will pass through again.

We were scrambling to get a campsite the on tail end of Labor Day Weekend. The cheapest campsite we could get had a cement slab, potable water, picnic table which was great. Right across the lawn was a beach for swimming, clean bathrooms, and a sandy court for volleyball etc. As a tent camper, we would not recommend this campground on a busy weekend. If we had an RV, this seems like a perfectly fine campground to go to. Lots of families and the campground officials were incredibly kind!

We always feel welcome. What a great place to stay

Great layout for RVs. Nice bathrooms, mini cul-de-sacs and right on the water. Secret gem, books fast.

Its right by the lake and it's very clean people are nice I would suggest you try camping here

love this place!

Great campground , many sites on the water. spectacular sunsets. bathrooms were cleaned daily, camp personnel were very helpful and kind. NICE BEACH AREA TO SWIM. Cedar Creek Marina is within walking distance and they rent boats . The restaurant is awesome with live entertainment most nights during the summer. Only 10 minutes to major shopping areas.

$5 per vehicle, nice place to go downtown the day to relax and swim

Compared to other COE campgrounds we have been to the sites here are a little small. we are in Site #4, satellite cones in perfect. we have a 41’ Class A with a toad. Getting to the park after turning off main road, it’s a 2 lanes of winding road with shoulders almost all 4 miles, 35 mile speed limit. The bathrooms are dated and lots of bugs. we showered everyday so not horrible but fastest shower we taken in a long time. If you can get one of the lake front sites they are huge and a beautiful view. Except for the park it’s hard to ride bikes outside of the park because no shoulders on the road. There is a nice beach and playground for the kids however on the weekends it’s crowded. Shopping close, nice marina with boat and kayak rentals not a half mile away, there is s nice bar/restaurant with live bands on the weekend, casual with happy hour and inexpensive food prices. It has indoor outdoor seating.

We are currently staying at Cedar Creek. It's a nice campground with about 60 sites. There are not as many waterfront sites compared to most Corps of Engineer Parks. There are some other inside sites with views, but the majority do not have them.

I would give the campground 5 stars but the day use area kind of ruined it for us on the weekends. The crowd has been loud and rowdy and left the day use area a mess. They also overflowed into the campground, walking in and using the campground showers and restrooms when they had their own.

I walked around on Monday with my dogs and found everything from condoms to dirty diapers. If the Corps can get a handle on the day use area, this little gem would be perfect.

This is one of my favorite campsites. On Old Hickory Lake. Accomodates both tents and RV’s. Most sites have a lovely view of the lake if not directly along the shore. Swimming beach, playground, and marina both within walking distance. National Park pass offers significant discount to seniors.
