What others are saying about this campground
The Meriwether Lewis Campground is a free, family-friendly campground located near Hohenwald, Tennessee, along the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is a peaceful, well-maintained campground with semi-primitive camping, flush toilets, and potable water. The campground is situated in a hardwood forest with numerous marked hiking trails, and is close to shopping and services in nearby Hohenwald. It is also home to the Grinder House location and the Burial Monument of Meriwether Lewis. The campground has two loops of camping, with pull-through and back-in sites. It is paved and fairly level, making it suitable for tents, RVs, and fifth wheels. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and trash can. There is no host or rangers, so visitors should bring a light if they plan to walk around in the dark. There is no cell service in the campground, however batwing antenna can receive a few stations, and Verizon phone and broadband both work. It is an excellent place to stay for up to 14 days, and visitors should bring bug spray and a cushion or pad for the ground.
