Was looking for a quiet get away....received the opposite. rented a cabin, and while there were 10 others available a family of 12 got put right next door to us in a 2 person cabin. Called front desk for an hour and nobody picked up. Don't recommend unless you want a bunch of strangers running across your campsite and loud kids read more

I looked at their website and it said that the restaurant had buffet on Saturday, 11-2 for 11.95 per person. We get there, and they tell us the lunch buffet has been discontinued. We did not find anything we liked on the menu, so we just ordered loaded potato skins as an appetizer. We waited 30 minutes - no potato skins. We finally just left. read more

Took my daughter camping for her first time. Great spot. Very well maintained campsites. Campsite one had a community feel as the sites are pretty close together. The bathrooms were clean and maintained. The lake is beautiful. Think there was something wrong with the wood I bought from the campground..could not get it to burn well. read more

My husband and I were looking forward to our stay at the Lodge at Natchez Trace State Park. We were excited about the buffet dinner and a nice glass of wine. However, this was not the place. We checked into our room only to find it dirty. The toilet had been used and you couldn't flush it and it wouldn't stop running. Also, there was a very loud dehumidifier running in the room . We tried calling the 4 emergency numbers only to find that the phone didn't work. Also, this wasn't a "lodge" room, it was a cheap motel room. We went to the office to complain about the room and have dinner. Everything is CLOSED! We left. Couldn't complain until we got cell service again. Definitely won't be staying here! Wouldn't recommend. read more

This a beautiful drive between Murfreesboro and Nashville. It's like the blue ridge parkway without much mountains. The Jackson falls are nice and not much of a walk from the parking. The first time we went the falls were pencil thin. The 2nd time it had rained hard and they were much bigger. Worth the trip. read more

Natchez Trace is one of my favorite past times. I would come here as a kid and we would swim here in the summers. Since then, I have not really had the chance to return until recently when I was home visiting my family and friends for a week. My bestie and her family were coming here with some other friends for the 4th to July to swim and grill out. She invited me along, and naturally I couldn't say no. A day in the lake with some sun and good food? Absolutely! This is a free park with no admissions for coming to experience. If you want to stay overnight in the campsites or RV parks that is a different outlet you have to pay for, respectively. It is a huge park with lots of trains and water for the outdoorsy type to experience. We loved swimming in the lake. There is a roped off water area that is secured, but unsupervised by lifeguards. Swim at your own risk. Park rangers are routinely going through the park to make sure that everyone is on their best behavior. We witnessed a couple of rednecks getting in trouble because they were boozing on the bed of their trucks with the music blaring unnecessarily. They also went above and beyond to holler at every passing female who looked above the legal age. Nonetheless, there is some of that here, but that kind of goes with the part of Tennessee you're in too. This is a good quality park that is open to everyone. If you want to bring your kids for a nice time in nature and to detach from your cell phone - this is the place to do it. You won't get cell service once you're inside the park. Just be aware of that when you try going into the woods for an adventure. Don't get lost and pay attention to the signs! Take this from someone who experienced this when trying to find her friends inside the place. Happy camping and swimming! read more

Absolutely gorgeous! We arrived mid-week for one night. We stayed in campground 1 space 10. Only one other camper here that we could see probably due to the Rona. The temperature was perfect in the 70's and cooler at night. The lake is beautiful with a beach and long boardwalk. Cute cabins for rent with lots of privacy for each. The bathrooms and showers were spotless as was our campsite. You can buy wood from the host. It really was the top campground we have stayed in in West Tennessee. read more

Natchez Trace State Park is located at 24845 Natchez Trace Rd, Wildersville, TN 38388, and is named after the Natchez Trace, a wilderness horse and buggy trail that spanned from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi, and was used for hundreds of years. This park has over 45,000 acres of land was was purchased during the New Deal after the Depression, because the land was no longer viable as farm land.

It has picnic shelters, horse stables, a hotel, cabins, camping, meeting rooms, a restaurant, 23 miles of hiking, boating, fishing, and a museum. Trails include the Cub Lake Trail (4.8 mile loop), the Fairview Gullies Trail (.45 mile loop), the Fern Trail loop (1 mile loop), the Oak Ridge Trail (.8 mile loop), the Pin Oak Trail (1 mile one way), and the Red Leaves Trail (40 mile loop... YES, 40 MILES!). read more

Stayed at this park awhile ago. It is a very nice park. Lots of places to walk, very nice trees, campground is very clean, restrooms were fairly new and clean. Also a biggie is park staff were all very nice and helpful. We hope to return. read more

Review is for Natchez Trace Equestrian Center - What a great, fun event! We took the 45 minute guided horse trail ride ($18 pp). There were 3 in our party, paired up with a family of 4. The trails were slopping, shaded and extremely peaceful. Arrive early, bring a picnic & enjoy your snack with dozens of hummingbirds flying overhead. All the horses are gentle and well cared for (and if all the riders follow the few, easy instructions, the ride will be fun & effortless, if however, you get stuck with a group of brain dead bottom-dwellers, you & your horse might get a bit bored/aggravated) NEXT TIME we will make reservations, go on a weekday & just have "our krewe". The guides are friendly and patient. This is a winner, not to mention, after the ride you can go swimming, paddle-boat, fish, volleyball etc at Cub Lake! (review by Juicy) read more

Nice lady in the main office, but very poorly maintained campground. Cracked streets, bathroom not stocked with paper goods. Grass was high and lack of staff. We never saw a ranger come by and we were there 24 hours. read more

We were attending a church sponsored event at the state park. We opted for one of the cabins and I recognized we might be in trouble just from the outside inasmuch as these were built many years ago. However, I was hoping the interior had been upgraded or at least re-done. Sadly, that was not the case. The interior was such that I was uncomfortable simply sitting on the cloth couch. Now, lest you think I'm a weenie, I've backpacked the Appalachian Trail And I'm familiar with the concept of roughing it. But there is a difference between roughing it and feeling you're like you're in a space that is simply dirty, outdated and poorly kept. I am unable to comment on the lakes and surrounding natural beauty as we left the same day we checked in (night time) read more

First time camping best experience I've had outdoors. Weather was perfect people are friendly area is safe. The woman in the front was awesome very helpful let us drive look for a spot we wanted before we paid. I would definitely do this again. Bonus the restrooms are very clean. Getting a spot by the lake is alittle more expensive but for under 30 bucks it's worth the view in the morning. read more

Made the trip down here to Lexington to visit with friends. We discussed Geocaching and gained a new fan of the sport. We took advantage of a power trail here of 10 decent caches. We had a good time. The staff were great and supportive of our game. The trails appeared to be relatively well managed. We did pick up one tick.. thought it would be cool for these blood suckers. Managed to complete to trail adventure just after darkness fell upon us. It was fun navigating through the woods in the dark.. read more

Beautiful park with cute cabins built by FDRs conservation corp. great place for a quite weekend or family reunion. We plan to kayak the lake. read more

I have NO clue where these photos are coming from, but we followed the directions of the address provided on Labor Day week, and the Guest Center was closed.. drove a little farther (past directions) and found a super old playground (for kids) a bathroom, and a camp site... but no lake at all... couldn't find it based on the address, nor did I see a hotel or log or anything of the sort ... again based on the address that was in Maps connected to Yelp clearly we were NOT in the right place. Beware. I don't even think the Yelp address is right when looking at it??? read more

Pin Oak Campground - This has to be one of the cleanest State Parks in Tennessee. It seems like you drive for ever once you get off the Interstate but Pin Oak was totally worth it. They have a "host" (Mike) who was great and helpful. The place was unbelievably clean and didn't give you the "too crowded" feeling. Not much to do in the area but if you like fishing and hiking it is great. Also, if you are one who can not live without your cellphone or staying connected - well, its not your place - weak cell service is a plus in my book though. read more

Staff was great but the inn rooms were old and much less welcoming. Food was good and a beautiful place. The State needs to put some money into upgrades. read more

We stayed here one night and were blown away! We made a same day reservation by phone with the option of picking a site upon arrival or having one assigned. Since we never stayed here before and we're arriving late we had them choose a spot for us. We have a 40 ft motor home with a tow car and the pull thru site was huge! The site had water, sewer, and 50 amp electric. Next time we will definitely choose a waterfront site and stay a couple days, the views are amazing !!! There is a nice beach area with steps going right into the lake and a nice playground. The price is just right too! The park is huge and we would love to spend more time here exploring! read more

Natchez Trace is a gorgeous park complete with a lodge, cabins, lakes, hiking trails and much much more. The landscape is beautiful. While many of the facilities are old they are generally well maintained. The staff at the park are extremely hospitable, making everyone feel welcome! read more

Stayed at cub Creek lake, camping area number one. Some of the prettiest sites 20, 21 22 and 23. Campsites that are $5 extra for a lake view are worth it because they are lovely. The sites were nice they have gravel and somewhat roomy. Tent site had electric and water. The swimming area was brown brackish water and was warm and cool water and somewhat nice to swim in. The park rangers are really great and helpful Very nice Camp host Gary...Can rent a Jon boats from him any day of the week. Fri/sat/sun: kayaks and paddle boats can be rented on those days read more

Clean restrooms/showers. Campground was well taken care of. Wish there would have been more shade but we had a nice large pull thru for the night. Pretty lake that would have been great to fish if we had the time - and a boat to make it easier. read more
