    Camping at Bledsoe Creek

    Bledsoe Creek State Park is located in Middle Tennessee along the shores of Old Hickory Lake, about 30 minutes northeast of downtown Nashville. The park offers a quiet lakeside setting with forested areas, wildlife viewing, and easy access to the water. 

    Camping options include a modern campground with paved and gravel sites for tents and RVs, all offering water and electric hookups. For a more minimalist stay, the park also features hammock-only primitive campsites located a short walk from the campground.
