This is my experience as someone who came here just to hike. The trails are great! They are not overgrown and the trail markers are bright and large! I would appreciate some wood signs discerning the junctions from one another. There are several social trails that will mislead you and could easily be fixed with a social trail sign or caution tape. I color coded the map attached to this review to show my route. I parked at the trailhead for the fitness trail. I walked the pink line to the museum and walked the yellow line back. Once I took a break, I did the green line. Due to poor planning I didn't realize the bike trail wasn't a loop and so I didn't intend to do two there and back hikes I'm not sure why it's not a loop as it could likely be connected from where it ends at the amphitheater to the 0.40 mile mark on the part of the bike trail headed straight to the museum... The visitor center/museum can be walked to from the bike trail. It's got information and artifacts from David Crockett's life and stuff. They also have several birds of prey outside that you can view anytime. The park rangers are very friendly and helpful when kids want to learn about the birds. read more

Stayed here for one night camping in hammocks. We actually got an tv spot because we were on the Harleys and it was a good place to park and also the bathhouse. Extremely clean park and the facilities were excellent. Will stay again if in the area. read more

First thing, They really need to offer sewer for campers. Second, bathrooms and bath house need much updating. Majority of the time the commodes were completely clogged. They have a great pool potentially. It's just empty sitting there. Went to the nature center, supposed to open at 10:00 but nobody there. The playground area needs so much help!! Overgrown weeds, needs mulch. This campground has potential but needs some major updating!! read more

This review is based on a drive through only because we're on vacation looking for all things David Crockett. It was such a lovely park and the lake the campgrounds the stream the Covered Bridge and we even saw an armadillo. Would love to return here and do some camping it looked very safe and well maintained. read more

Beautiful park. So much to see. Boat docks were great for fishing. The falls were very pretty. We didn't eat at restaurant, the menu was limited and we craved something different. Park is very well kept. We saw deer and turtles. The bird sanctuary was small, but really cool. Defiantly worth the stop. read more

I only spent a couple hours here, but what I saw was lovely. The park is huge and has many, MANY features that I did not see or take advantage of, so I can't comment about them. However, it looks like THIS is THE reason to visit the Lawrenceburg area. Reading the roadside materials about The Trail of Tears was moving. The little waterfall was gorgeous. The lake was impressive. The bird aviary was pretty cool. I'm afraid that's really all I had time to see. Perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough to return and spend more time here. Other Yelp reviewers have uploaded a TON of photos, so there's little else I could add in that area, but the little waterfall will always be a special place to me. read more

Stayed here the second weekend of November. Car camped at Campground #1 Primitive #8. Other than a few campers, the spots were all empty. We were the only primitive campers. The only negative was you could hear cars at night and several ambulances. Wish we would have stayed deeper in the park at Campground #2. The bathrooms were very nice. Both bathrooms and showered were heated. As it got down to 35F or so at night this was a nice warm up. FYI, Our particular site was nice because it was on the creek and the playground was far off but close enough to let your kids run over while you set up the tent. Jerry and Dianne were kind and helpful. Walmart is about ten minutes away. Lots of things to do. If you take the long and newer orange trail, watch out for snakes and also yes... it isn't clear but yes... you have to go knee deep at the base of the water fall to cross to the other side. Believe it or not the trail does continue on the other side. Good times. Great park! Great restaurant. Sliders and steak were great! Great staff with a nice little gift shop as well. read more

David Crockett State Park is located at 1400 W Gaines St, in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. Prior to his tenure in Congress, this land served as property where Crockett had a powdermill, a gristmill, and a distillery. Today, this land is a 1300 acre park, with camping, a restaurant, an aviary, a museum, an amphitheater, fishing, boating, and about 10 miles of hiking. Trails include a bike trail (1.45 mi), the Crawfish Valley Trail (2.7 mi), the Lake Road Trail (.8 mi), the Shoal Creek Trail (1.45 mi), the Trail of Tears (2.25 mi), and the Turkey Ridge Trail (1.5 mi). There's a lot to do here, and it's beautiful. Plus, the staff is wonderful. The staff member working the museum had a lot of personal history with the park and was a delight to speak with read more

This review pertains mainly to the campground. We did not have the pleasure of exploring the rest of the park. Hubby and I car camped for 2 nights here in early November when traveling the Natchez Trace Parkway. We were impressed with the size of the sites and the restroom/shower facilities. There were individual private shower rooms, which was nice. We did use the electricity and the water, but had no need for other services. The campground was quiet, with mature trees. We had a creek running right behind our campsite, which provided us with some nice "water music" and tree frog songs during the night. The only thing we would improve is if there was some sort of plants or something between sites to give a little more privacy and secluded feel. The staff at the park office was friendly and helpful. read more

Lovely park. Great historical significance. Well maintained and staff was friendly. River was super nice. Trail was hard but worth it. I'd give it a 10 out of 10! read more

Beautiful trails. Nice and clean place to have a walk by yourself or with family and friends! This is my home away from home to get clarity. Take nature hikes and just breath in the fresh air!! read more

Peeping holes in restrooms. It's obvious that Rangers allow this next to a playground since the holes have been in the stalls for years.

I'm giving a one star review just for the fact that they charge $30 for an RV rental spot and they don't even have WiFi lol that's absolutely pathetic and on top of that they don't want you to check in until 4pm and they want you gone by 11am the next morning!!?? so your paying $30 for only camping there 17 hours that once again is absolutely pathetic and a major rip off! Other RV c Amp grounds only charge $15 to $20 every 24 hours and most actually have WiFi David crockett Park is a RIP-OFF!!!! read more

It's So fun to play in the creek.me and my family love it .you feel so safe ! We love Tennessee

The DCSP is about 1000 acres, and there are a 1000 things to do. You can hike, bike, boat, fish, swim, camp, picnic, rent cabins, watch wildlife, visit the David Crockett Museum. They also have several playgrounds, and a restaurant. The park hosts festivals, family reunions, and Easter egg hunts. The rangers have demonstrations and lead hikes throughout the year. The park is pet friendly, but dogs must be leashed. Open all year, admission is free, but fees are charged at the pool, cabins, campground, and for boat rentals. read more

Stayed last week. Absolutely beautiful. Definitely would return. Only concern that I have is that they do not have a sewage hook up. But dump station is available. Looking forward to our next trip. read more

We live in the Huntsville area and have pretty much done the parks around here so we have started moving into Tennessee parks that are within a couple of hours drive. We did not camp so I can't comment on that aspect of a visit but what we saw was very pretty and spread out. I loved the little aviary and the waterwheel area...there were trails everywhere, some long, some short. There were many picnic tables spread around so nobody would have to be right on top of each other...port a potties galore...and the workout area (which was very cool). We ate at the little restaurant that is available and both of us enjoyed our meals. I got the BBQ bacon burger and he got the chicken tenders. The view from the dining area was amazing and I could have stayed there even longer. All in all, it was worth the hour and a half it took to get there. :) read more

We had a great two night stay with our dog in a cabin. It was very roomy with a well enough equipped kitchen. The plastic covered mattress was the worst thing. The park itself was not completely opened since it was January. No restaurant or museum, but that was okay. Everything went well indeed. We had fine hikes as well. read more

Definitely a place to come back to if you have already gone if not come and check it out they have cabins to stay in and camp grounds and a restaurant read more

Since I am one of the locals, I have never stayed in the cabins. I know we are glad to have them as a new addition to our park. The food at the park restaurant has always been exceptional to me. The hiking/walking trails are great and the Olympic size pool is pretty awesome. The campgrounds are some of the most widely utilized in the state. Deer and turkeys may be viewed daily. On the 4th of July, I hiked to the bottom of the waterfalls below the lake dam. I took some great pictures, read my book, and even dozed a little in the serenity of the falling water. It was wonderful. Check out my pics. I think they are post card worthy... LOL read more
