Montgomery Bell State Park Campground

Perfect camping, arrived later in the day, selected site and enjoyed dinner with existing table an benches. Had plenty of Verizon bars to check emails, watch videos and relax. Awoke to a beautiful meadow with sun shining through the trees. Just hated to have to leave. Will go back. A don't miss location very near the interstate.

Nice place but people kept walking through site because it was on the way to hiking path and woods so there was no privacy. Also the drinking water was horrid!

We had heard such good things about Montgomery Bell, so we were looking forward to our stay. The campground stays booked... so we had to get our reservations about a month ahead of time. We also had to pick a site w/o sewer (they have both). Never again. The sites are VERY cramped, and you will literally have people on all 4 sides of you. Very little room to park your vehicle. No TV channels at all. Water has bad taste. Sites are only gravel and when we were here the grass hadn’t been cut in what looked like two weeks. After having been to many RV parks around TN and MS for the past 5 years, this may rank at the very bottom of our list. The only positive is they do offer WiFi and our ATT cell signal was great.

We purchased our motor home just weeks prior to our trip to our stay at Montgomery Bell State Park. Reserving the spot online was simple and easy and the price extremely reasonable. I called a couple days in advance to see if there were any helpful hints they could give us due to my ignorance and the lady was extremely helpful! She made sure we did not follow our GPS due to it taking us up terrible windy roads that our motorhome would not have able to make. She also gave me an idea about the lot and how to back up into it and the locations of the trees. Once we arrived they were helpful and kind. Lot #1 was skinny and most of park was booked. Due to the freezing temperatures we were asked to shut down our water connection and disconnect at night. The bathhouses are clean and well place and lit. Overall my wife and two pups enjoyed our first ever trip in our Motorhome thanks to Montgomery Bell State Park.

It’s a quite little campground about 15 minutes outside Nashville. From I40 follow the brown state park signs; not wise to follow the GPS (quickest) directions in a big rig. It’s doable but hair raising. Lot smaller campground than the website talks about. They do have a lodge; cabins, golf course, restaurant, and then away from everything is the campground. Will definitely stay here again.

We were surprised at how loud the road noise was from the nearby highway. Also sites are very close together and campground was very noisy.

Nice location, but would not recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet place to camp.

Would love to go again in better weather. Highly recommend.

This was our first stay here, and we had heard great things about it. It is a beautiful state park known as the "Queen of Tennessee's State Parks". There are 4,000 acres with mountain biking, fishing, hiking, picnic areas, kayaking/canoeing, and a golf course. Nashville is only 45 minutes away.
The campground was nice. Our site was tight, and we didn't have a lot of room for our truck. We had to move to a different site for the 3rd night and the water connection was quite a reach. The sites were mostly level and some were shaded. The bathhouse was clean and there was a laundry area with 2 washers/dryers. We did have a picnic table and fire ring. We had 2-3 bars of Verizon 4G. There was a playground for the kids. There is a small creek that runs along the western edge of the campground. We did spot some snakes (copperheads maybe?) near the creek.
There is a small camp store that had a few supplies, ice cream, ice & firewood. The employees were very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Campground is fairly neat .
It is not very quiet, there is highway noise and helicopters fly over quite a bit.
Popular place, 3/4 full on a Thursday in April.

Loved this campground. We were able to back in close to the creek. One of the most scenic parks we have seen. This is a must see location and less than an hour from Nashville. Plenty of spaces to walk and a golf course in the park. Full hookups but hot spot was too weak to cast with Verizon. This is a great spot for a long weekend. Recommend staying 3 days for sure and enjoy the scenery and trails. They did a great job in designing this park.
