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.

This spot is awesome! We got lucky with a sunny day in November and had the beach to ourselves. The drive in was an adventure, but drive slow and you’ll be perfectly fine. Watching the boats and barges go by was a treat, and we were lucky enough to see an otter, a few eagles, and a few rabbits visited us in the evening. Would 100% go back, and feel very fortunate that Don shared this great spot.

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.
