Blue Heron Campground: A Hidden Gem of History and Nature Nestled along the Tennessee River, Blue Heron Campground offers a unique blend of rich history and natural beauty. Once home to the Cherokee Indians, this 340-acre property is surrounded by water on all sides, boasting a mile-and-a-half shoreline. Just to the north, a designated 20-mile Wildlife Refuge begins, following the river and offering plenty of opportunities for nature enthusiasts. The land itself is a treasure trove, with rich farmland that has grazed cattle and now offers primitive camping with no services, located just 10 miles west of Lobelville, Tennessee. People's Landing, now a swim beach and sand boat ramp, was once a bustling port of commerce. Before the advent of good roads, steamboats, ferry boats, and trains were the primary means of transportation. Just north of People's Landing, Daniel's Landing housed a post office and small store, serving the local community. The Tennessee River is one of only three rivers in the United States that flow north, making it a unique feature of the region. Today, visitors can enjoy camping, fishing, or simply watching the boats and barges pass by. For those looking to explore, a 20-mile day trip to Loretta Lynn's ranch or a 70-mile journey to Nashville awaits. The campground offers 358 acres of open meadows and forests to hike and explore, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife and a beautiful sunset over the river to end the day.

My wife and I had a great time here and it was great to just sit back and relax by a fire. It was very quiet and had plenty of room.

Great campsite by the river. Directions to site provided by host are accurate and easy to follow. Started camping 6 years ago, and this place is now my favorite spot to car/camp.

Serene Spot
This spot was so serene and secluded. The views were breathtaking, and the area was pretty quiet other than the occasional passing boat. I would recommend driving something with either 4-wheel drive or high clearance. I drove my 4Runner that isn’t 4-wheel drive and had no issues, but the road in is dirt/mud when it rains and there are several large holes filled with water; most you can go around, but some are unavoidable. Overall, I felt safe here and it was very peaceful! I would camp here again.
