Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park

This is a nice campground although small and well kept. It is not conducive to just walk from place to place as there are a lot of hills. The cabins are very nice with a deck on the back overlooking the river, but while the trees are green, you will not see much of the water. The cabins are built on hills overlooking the water, but you will have to go downhill to get there and back uphill to get back to the cabins. The cabins have nice beds with linen. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook except your own food. Bathrooms in the cabin are large and roomy. The couch appears to be a little worn and serves its purpose. Some of the roads need work as they have potholes and rough patches. There are a few pavilions for family reunions that are nice. There are a few camping spots along the river with great views. The rv camping area is nice with pull through sites.

A beautiful park with friendly staff and rangers and lots of trails and water activities. Happy Hollow campground has quiet, shaded rv pads with full hookups, a shower house, and a dump station. The cabins have great views of the lake and have full kitchens, big bathrooms, and spacious bedrooms. They are very clean and very well-maintained. There is also a super cute secluded log cabin with modern amenities, a fire pit, and a hilltop view of the lake. Primitive camp spots are available, and they're perfect for paddlers or fishermen, as there is boat access nearby, or you can pull your yak, canoe, or small jon boat right on shore. NBFSP also has a day use area with a beach, playground, boat ramp, and plenty of parking.

My new favorite state park!! Everything was perfect from the site in the Lakefront campground, to the employees, to the interpretive center, all of it. Couldn't have asked for more and we will most definitely be back soon!!

It's tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Extremely friendly people, visitor center is small but unique and well maintained. We stayed at Cabin during this trip, cabins are super spacious, clean and tidy! The layout flows really well brings in lot of natural sunlight. The cabin is located near the river and got great views from the living room and both bedrooms. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked with linen, toiletries. Bedrooms are big and both have 2 full size beds. Cabins can easily accommodate 6 to 8 people. Lake and beach area is walkable from the cabin, there are lots of hiking trails around. There is a unique museum close by to the cabin area which shows the history about the area and there also some species like snakes, tortoise, salamander etc. The only downside is the activities which are very few. Overall, great place to visit!
