My family of 4 rented a couple of canoes and had an amazing time. Even my daughter who normally doesn't like being outside said she could do this every weekend. It felt like we had the whole river to ourselves so we stopped to look for cool rocks, relaxed in the water for a bit, and spent about 2 and a half hours on the water. They don't take card, so make sure you have cash on you or tell them when you're signing up and when you drive your car to the end they may be able to stop at an ATM so you can get cash out. If we're in the area again, we'd absolutely come again
My family camps and tubes here on the regular. It's a wonderful spot to get away from it all and just relax. Conveniently located with easy access to Franklin and beyond. Highly recommend
Talk about a diamond in the rough! So happy we found this campground, it is absolutely beautiful, affordable and the owners couldn't have been nicer people! They offer tubing, canoeing, and kayaking on site. There is electricity if you want. If you don't go with an electric site there is still a place you may plug in and use electricity near the main office. Two on-site well maintained, clean bathrooms, with a large shower. They have two little houses you can rent. Probably not the best for RVs as the roads are very small due to the non stop incredibly beautiful landscaping full of flowers and nature. My absolute favorite thing was having my morning coffee in my personal gazebo on the riverfront. I could walk down the stairs from my gazebo to the public camper's fishing deck, which has rod holders and a cleaning station. The size of our campsite was tremendous, however we were the only ones in the "Primitive area" They use the trust system on firewood/ice, have a store on premise, beautifully landscaped, public garden. Love, love, love This campground and without doubt will return again and again! I could not have been happier! Thank you Sabina!
We rented tubes to float down the river from here. The property is beautiful and the people are so nice! Can't wait to do it again!
