About Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park

Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park campground offers a serene lakeside retreat with well-maintained sites, scenic hiking trails, and excellent fishing opportunities. The campground features two distinct camping areas - Happy Hollow and Lakefront - each providing a unique experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Happy Hollow boasts 37 spacious RV sites with water and electrical hookups, while Lakefront offers 13 more primitive tent sites right along the shoreline of Kentucky Lake.

Situated on the western shore of Kentucky Lake in Eva, Tennessee, this campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty of the region. The park's location atop Pilot Knob, one of the highest points in West Tennessee, provides campers with breathtaking views and access to over 20 miles of hiking trails. Within a short drive, visitors can enjoy boating, swimming, and world-class bass fishing on Kentucky Lake's expansive waters.

The campground caters to weekend getaways and extended vacations alike, attracting nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts. On-site amenities include a boat ramp, picnic areas, and the Tennessee River Folklife Center, which offers insights into the area's rich cultural heritage. For those seeking a deeper connection with nature, the park's backcountry shelters along the hiking trails provide a more rugged camping experience.
