Floating Mill Park is located on the shores of the scenic Center Hill Lake on central Tennessee's Highland Rim.
The lake stretches 64 miles up the Caney Fork River, where visitors come to enjoy boating, fishing and water sports. The 415 miles of forested shoreline provide excellent hiking, hunting and camping opportunities.
Boating, waterskiing, canoeing and fishing are popular activities on the water.
Anglers will find bream, walleye, smallmouth bass, crappie, catfish and white bass. Below the dam, the Caney Fork River is one of the most productive trout fisheries in the state.
Nine miles of hiking trails meander around the lake. The Lost Springs Trail loops for two miles above the campground and Hurricane Marina.
This large campground provides a wide variety of campsites, most of which have electric and water hookups. Several tent-only sites are provided, several of which are beautiful lakefront sites.
A day-use group picnic area is available for reservations. It can accommodate up to 125 guests, with a large shelter and picnic tables. Water and 30-amp electric hookups are included.
Amenities like flush toilets, showers and drinking water are provided, creating a comfortable camping experience for guests. A boat ramp, fish cleaning station, playground and hiking trail are all conveniently located within the campground.
Center Hill Lake is surrounded by lush mixed hardwood forests in the hilly Highland Rim region. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, squirrels and rabbits roam the wooded hills around the lake.
Floating Mill Park is surrounded by the lake on three sides, providing sweeping waterfront views.
Edgar Evins State Park, about 25 minutes from Floating Mill, sits on the shores of the lake. An observation tower at the Visitor Center offers a spectacular view of Center Hill Lake and the surrounding hillsides.
Burgess Falls State Park is a 35-minute drive from the campground. Here, the Falling Water River drops approximately 250 feet, creating numerous breathtaking waterfalls. Hiking trails and overlooks help visitors enjoy the scenery. The large Native Butterfly Garden is a popular attraction within the park.
From I-40, take exit 273. Merge onto US-56 south and continue for 3.5 miles to Floating Mill Road. After about a mile, turn right to stay on Floating Mill Road, and follow signs into the campground.
We had an amazing time! The campsites are very close together when you walk out of your rv you are right there with numerous people on all sides. Verizon carriers have horrible service there. Overall it was awesome and they offer free laundry
Neat little place, park is nice, wish the swimming place wasn't right next to the boat ramp. Like.. I could almost touch a boat. But it was nice.
I have camped here since I was a kid it has always been very clean and accessible. The day area is one of my favorite getaways when I want to dip in the water.
Oh my good golly gosh is this our favorite campground! Bathe rooms are impeccable for camping ground - very clean!! Views are awesome, sites are well maintained!
There is a day use area and a campground. Each has a swim area at the lake with a concrete bottom. The campground is wonderful. To see our adventures subscribe to SIMPLE LIFE BIG ADVENTURES on YouTube.
