Campground Overview
About Old Stone Fort State Park Campground
Old Stone Fort State Park Campground offers a unique blend of ancient history and natural beauty, with wooded sites nestled along the scenic Duck River just minutes from Manchester, Tennessee. The campground's 51 sites provide water and electric hookups, grills, and picnic tables, all set within a heavily forested area that creates a sense of seclusion. Campers can explore over 7 miles of hiking trails that wind past waterfalls, swimming holes, and the park's namesake 2,000-year-old Native American ceremonial site.
The campground serves as an ideal base for experiencing both the park's archaeological wonders and outdoor recreation opportunities. A museum near the campground entrance provides insight into the area's rich Native American history. Fishing is popular in the Duck River, which flows past the campground and offers opportunities to catch bass, catfish, and bream.
Located just off Highway 41, the campground provides easy access to Manchester's amenities while maintaining a quiet, natural setting. The park's proximity to Interstate 24 makes it a convenient stopover for travelers, though many visitors stay longer to fully explore the hiking trails, fish the river, and learn about the ancient earthworks. Nearby attractions within a short drive include several local wineries and the charming town square of Manchester.
