Cages Bend is a beautiful, quiet campground on Old Hickory Lake. We have been camping here for over 20 years and have stayed in nearly every campsite! The campground has gravel and concrete pads, but every site has a great view. We have had many hosts over the years, but this year's was exceptional! We already have a return trip reserved for next Spring!

Broke down and had to stay extra day after park closed waiting for tow truck.everyone was understanding and helpful. The park is excellent and I will be coming back often. Very well kept and attendants were very friendly.

Excellent campground and experience there. So chill. Saw a bald eagle.
@LindaK3043012 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #27
Needing updated tables and wood replaced on certain sites. Lots dead trees and limbs. Cleanup crew have no respect for campers still there. Hosts could be more friendly.
@MarilynH396243 · Camped on Oct 10, 2024 at Campsite #26
We arrived to a clean, nicely raked camp site and enjoyed a week of beautiful weather. The host always had a smile and wave as she passed on her rounds. We will come again to this well kept campground. Thank you for your hard work.

Cages Bend is a great camp. Quiet, relaxing, good place to kayak. Close to good restaurants.
@GaryO6517262 · Camped on Sep 5, 2024 at Campsite #18
Cages Bend is a beautiful and well maintained campground with a fantastic Campground Host! We have visited this campground for 19 years and have stayed in nearly every site! There is no "bad view" from any of them!
@KathrynS492126 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #21
We had a wonderful campsite on the lake. Great views, spacious campsite, level concrete pad for the camper. If you have a kayak perfect place to put in steps from your site. The bathhouse was clean, but needs a serious update. At the very least repainted.
@TrixsonS1CE6E7 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #32
Nice site with shade on a hot day.
@TimmyTC6A94DFF · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #8
Beautiful park. Bathrooms are older dont like the shower having only one divider but over all it is a beautiful park with very nice sites. We would love to see a hiking trail somewhere. Maybe along the waters edge. Even if its just a half mile or so. We would volunteer to help.
@LindaO4583648 · Camped on Jul 31, 2024 at Campsite #10
Clean bathrooms, friendly staff, favorite campground!
@TiffanyG30F98F · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #4
The Lady who runs it is the most rude, disrespectful and crass person I have ever met in a professional role. She embarrassed me, yelled at me and then was incredibly demeaning towards me and I will never be back.
@StevenC2003509 · Camped on Jul 20, 2024 at Campsite #5
Cages Bend is excellent! The grounds are meticulously kept, the campsites are spacious and the view of the lake cannot be beat. 10/10 would recommend.
@GuyM2176328 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #34
Every time we come here we are very pleased. This site was really easy to back in to, and was in very good condition upon our arrival (freshly raked). We had a great view of the water and had the added benefit of being able to watch boaters backing their trailers on the boat ramp on the back side of us :). We will be back next year!
@TonyaH1642216 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #31
Always peaceful her but definitely need air conditioning in the bath house!
@ColleenM947508 · Camped on Jul 8, 2024 at Campsite #32
We stayed at the campground which was very nice. Lots of trees and viewing the lake was nice even though we didnt have a lake front site. However the bath house was horrible! I honestly would return to Cages Bend, but cant because the showers looked like something was going to crawl out on me! They need a major renovation and updating! If you depend on a bath house Id pass on this campgound.
@DS37B039F1CACF · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #19
Very clean and quiet with great staff
@PaulM6940902 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #16
Be cautious about which spot you choose. Some have concrete walls that interfere with your steps. Also there is no gravel,just cinder Its a mess when it rains. Also our site wasnt cleaned very well, look like the leaves and stuff was blown to a corner.
@GradyF2887791 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #41
A beautiful, well maintained park with great well spread out sites and close to amenities. The staff were helpful and friendly.
@CharlesM934555 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #13
Beautiful campground but the restrooms are in bad need of a renovation. The campground was very clean, and site #13 was awesome!
@ScottM5484435 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #39
Nice and quiet campground on the lake. Roads getting in are a little narrow with some low hanging trees, but we loved the CG
@MauriceB418994 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #4
Couldn't be better. Coming back in October.
@StevenH4575591 · Camped on Jun 2, 2024 at Campsite #27

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
