The Best Camping Near Ashland City, Tennessee

**Harpeth River Bridge Campground** is newer, small and very nice. Only 15 sites including the campground hosts.

Water and electric on sites, my favorite was 8, very usable with Tentsile Tent and right on the water.

Watersports are the only flavor on the menu. But!!! There are several recreation areas nearby to enjoy in addition to Harpeth.

Only minus is.....

Hard to get reservations because they allow people to book out every weekend for the entire season and not even show up all of thier booked with down. Reservations need changes. noon should be able to treat a site as if they own it and keep it booked every weekend all season. Beautiful spot if you can get in.

RV sites on river

We are new-ish to camping and were directed here by the nice lady at Lock A once we were told the first come first serve sights were taken and this place had one sight available.  The grounds are well kept and the showers are very nice. We pitched our tent on comfortable ground and were serenaded by the sounds of trucks coming down the bridge overhead with their jakes on at night. Bring earplugs if you are in a tent.  Nice staff at checkin and cleaning crew very thorough.

Loud for tent campers

This was our first time at this campground.  It’s a beautiful find.  Small with only 15 sites but they are all concrete level pads. Easy access to the River.   Absolutely beautiful mornings with the fog over the water to look at while you sip your coffee.  The sites are spaced well apart.  No bad sites here. The bathrooms and bathhouse were clean and within easy walking distance.  They are very friendly and have a local farmer that brings fresh produce by on Saturday evenings.  We chose this because it was only an hr from our home.  We will definitely be back.

Nice find!

Not a bad little campground. Well kept, bathrooms clean, playground in great condition. We are in site 13 with no shade….
