Lock A Campground

Lock A Campground is a U. S.

Army Corps of Engineers facility on the north bank of Cheatham Lake along the Cumberland River, offering 45 well-maintained sites with 50-amp electric hookups, modern amenities (hot showers, dump station, flush toilets), and direct water access via an on-site boat launch.

The campground is ideal for paddlers and anglers, featuring spacious, level concrete pads, many waterfront sites, and access to the 6. 5-mile Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail for hiking. Reservations are required through Recreation.

gov; note that the winding approach road can be challenging for nighttime arrival, and the campground typically operates spring through fall.
