Montgomery Bell State Park

Great sewer as well as non-sewer crushed rock/gravel sites along a shallow stream. Most sites are shady as there are an abundance of trees. I would actually rate this park a 4.5 due to the bathroom setup. I rarely use park restrooms and this one is at the bottom of my list. There is no bench or anywhere to set anything down without it getting wet. Granted, there are a couple if hooks but that's it. But the worst part was the flimsy opaque shower curtain that provided little privacy as I couldn't close it flush with the wall and could even see people as they walked by through the crack of space.
This is a very popular park. It was full through the weekend we were there; probably due to Spring Break. There were lots of families. We arrived on a Monday when the park may of been 10% full leaving us plenty of options. The campground is only a small portion of the park. Hiking trails, historical landmarks, sports fields, a visitor center, hotel, and eco-cabins are a few of the many amenities. By Thursday all the water sites are gone. In fact, we left on a Thurs and our site was taken before we hit the dump station! The only thing that would keep me from coming back is the 45 min drive to Nashville. With a Dodge 3500, it costs around $25 round trip (3.79/gal) with a few stops along the route. We went there 5 of 10 days so it might of been more cost effective to stay at the more costly parks within Nashville. At $20/nt E/W and $25 E/W/S it's still quite the bargain.
