About this campground

Cages Bend Campground is located on the shores of Old Hickory Lake, offering campers the opportunity to enjoy activities with a beautiful scenic backdrop. Water recreation is the major attraction for lake-goers, but with white-tailed deer, migratory song birds and waterfowl abundant in the area, birding and wildlife photography is popular as well. The campground offers a playground for families, a boat ramp for easy lake access, showers for comfort and a group picnic shelter for convenient entertaining. All sites have electric and water hookups and four sites meet accessibility standards. Laundry facilities are also onsite. Two docks are also available for fishing only, one is located inside the campground and the other is beside the boat ramp. Swimming and sailing are popular ways to enjoy the lake, and anglers can find exceptional bank and boat fishing for catfish, crappie and bass.

What campers say

Cages Bend is a small, peaceful campground on Old Hickory Lake with broad water views and easy access for kayaks and smaller boats. Grounds are well maintained and staff are frequently praised as friendly; wildlife sightings are common. Sites are generally paved and spacious with water and electric (no sewer), and a dump station is available. Bathhouse facilities are clean with good hot water but could use updates. Access roads and interior loops are narrow with low branches and tight turns, so larger rigs should plan carefully. The bay can be shallow, which may make dock use tricky at times.
