Lock A

Lock A is a camping locale close to Ashland City, 29 miles from Clarksville. 50-amp powered tent campsites and RV sites are available for rent. The Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail gives the chance for visitors to experience nature, and since the park is situated on the banks of the Cheatham Lock and Dam, fishing, boating, and swimming are popular activities.

Loretta Lynn Ranch RV Park and Primitive Camping

While it’s 55 miles out of Clarksville, for the country music enthusiast this park offers a unique opportunity to visit the home of the legendary country singer. Full hook-up sites, pull-through sites, A-frame log cabins, cabins, and a bunkhouse are available. Activities available include hiking, kayaking, tubing, live events, parties, barbecues, games, and live music.

Bumpus Mills

Bumpus Mills is located 20 miles from Clarksville, on the banks of Lake Barkley, and as it contains only 15 water and electricity hook-up sites, the place is small but feature-rich.

Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy it, with deer, wild turkey, and golden and bald eagles being numerous.
