About
Cages Bend Campground is an Army Corps of Engineers facility on Old Hickory Lake, offering 43 sites with water and 50-amp electric hookups on gravel pads. The lakefront setting provides direct access to excellent fishing for catfish, crappie, and bass via two fishing docks or the on-site boat ramp. Wildlife watching is rewarding here, with white-tailed deer, migratory songbirds, and waterfowl common in the surrounding woodland habitat. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, laundry, a dump station, playground, and a group picnic shelter. Four sites are ADA accessible. Sites accommodate RVs up to 38 feet with back-in configurations. The campground operates on a reservation-only basis through Recreation.gov with check-in at 3:00 PM and checkout at noon. Downtown Nashville is about 30 minutes away. The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's historic home, makes for an excellent day trip.
