They have a full service marina with marina store, including fishing supplies, drinks, snacks and yes they have beer. ( lots of stops along TN river are in dry counties) They have fuel, transient docks and access to a pool, community center, playground and larger store at the pearl museum for parts and repairs. The resort part of Birdsong has cabins and trailers that can accommodate small to large groups, all with full kitchens, heat and AC. The owners are accessible and eager to please, and there are space for RV's and even an area for tents. A beautiful spot for boaters, campers and vacationers.

It is truly a trailer park. 3rd of all, the website indicates hiking trails...there are NO HIKING TRAILS in the campgrounds. We were told 2 miles up the road there is a trail...we didn't go. 4th thing, the campsites are so close together. No real privacy. 5th thing, the single stall shower in the bathhouse is smaller than the showers on most RVs. And lastly, the permanent residents get the best sites. the sites are definitely not worth $80/night. There is a highlight of the stay. The lady that works in the Pearl museum was very knowledgeable on the Pearl farm. She was so nice to thoroughly explain the background and the history of the farm.

Little did I know that I would eventually make my power cruiser home port not far away and find myself returning here from time to time. (This is my power boat not my sailboat, the sailboat home port was another 100+ miles north, it's complicated) Anyway, this marina has fuel services (both diiesel and gas), limited boat repair, permanent slips for all size boats from fishing boats to 40' party boats, tansient docks, a retail store with snacks, supplies, swimming, fishing gear, fishing bait and more. There's also a restaurant (separate Yelp page) but there are very integrated but none of the partying goes on in the ship store, not officially anyway. They celebrate everything here from cinco de mayo to Mardis Gras. There's karaoke and a juke box at the restaurant. Speaking of celebrations, people come by boat and by car for the 4th of July because these folks float a small barge about 150 yards out and load it up with fireworks. I din't think they hire a big time professional because a couple years back we decided to check 'em out and while tied up to dock one volley went sideways and sprayed across the bow of our boat, yep tense moment. Verdict, the fireworks are not so safe :-) Of all the memories the one that will live in infamy is one hot ass day in July. We had been cruising all morning and the heat was just wearing ymus down so I took an assessment of our location and decided we'd shoot for Mermaud for lunch and some indoor air conditioning to get a break from the increasingly relentless heat. Imagine our surprise when we rounded the band to the entrance and we see people flowing out and sitting outside. People were carrying arms full of goods and we asked what was up. They were giving away all there ice cream, food and perishables because, what for it, THE POWER LINES HAD ALL MELTED. Seriously! The tall power towers outside carrying huge power lines both to the marina and surrounding homes & businesses had literally melted and come undone!! Wow that is friggin' hot!! So we grabbed some ice, some free ice cream and decided that this incredibly hot day was best spent ashore and we headed back to our hind port, hooked up to shore power and cranked up our AC and settled in for the rest of the day. Bottom line: They have a decent supply of all the basic goods needed for your day on the water or a stopover if you're cruising up fron Florida or down from the Great Lakes. It's approximately midway from Pickwick and Paris Landing and does offer shelter from weather.

I always hope a holiday leaves people with happy memories, especially the Fourth of July…read more Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. This was my first visit, and I left feeling disappointed. From my perspective, there wasn't a convenient place to purchase food or fuel for our boat, which made planning for the day much more difficult than we expected. What saddened me the most, though, was the atmosphere. During our visit, I felt interactions with the owner were unwelcoming, and it seemed like several guests were spoken to in a way that didn't make anyone feel very appreciated. Kindness doesn't cost a thing, and a warm smile can make even a busy day so much better. We were also hoping to enjoy the Fourth of July festivities, but from where we were, we couldn't see the contest very well or hear what was happening. It took away from what should have been a fun community celebration. I truly believe every business has difficult days, and I always try to give grace because we never know what someone else may be carrying. At the same time, every guest deserves to be treated with courtesy and respect. I sincerely hope things improve because this could be such a wonderful place for families to gather and make memories. For me, though, the overall experience wasn't one I'd choose to repeat, and I don't think I'll be returning. My hope in sharing this isn't to tear anyone down it's simply to help others know what my experience was and to remind us all that kindness is one of the greatest things we can offer each other. It lasts much longer than fireworks ever will.

There is a playground for kiddos, a barbeque area, clean bathrooms and tons of green lawn on which to picnic or frolic to your heart's content. Do watch out for geese/duck poo as it is everywhere around the pond. Small price to pay for the opportunity to come face to face with a mama duck and her little ducklings. Dragonflies will fly right on up to your nose and turtles will wink at you from their log perches in the pond. Parking is free and there are bikes for rent, too. Great place to get exercise, fresh air and relaxation.

We had the Fried Jalapeño Shrimp as an appetizer and they were very good. Miss Joy got the Happy Hour Special $7.00 Cheeseburger, and there's only 1 in 100 miles that comes close to it! I got the GOAT Ruben, and I'll make the same claim for it! I can't wait to come back, next time in the boat so we can abuse the bar a little more, and try their steaks and other entrees!

The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked, from end to end. They didnt have those rock hard ends you sometimes get when they sit too long. They had several non alcoholic slushies for our younger daughter, which helped keep the heat at bay. Burgers were simple, but good. Fries and onion rings were good but the fried green beans were my personal favorite. If you are in Land Between the Lakes, you shoukd definitely stop by!
