What campers say

Lock A Campground sits on the Cumberland River near Ashland City and offers many waterfront and inland sites with 30/50 amp electric and water hookups, plus a nearby dump station. River views and passing barges are a frequent highlight, and fishing from shore is common. Camp hosts are friendly and check-in is generally easy, though the entrance booth may be unattended and site numbers can be hard to spot. Sites range from paved with steps to the river to rocky or gravel pads. Bathhouses are clean but older. Note a narrow, steep access road and seasonal ticks.
