Seven Points Recreation Area

Beautiful picnic park area with access to the lake. I like to take my dog there for a swim. Very quiet and serene during the week.

One of the best boat ramps I’ve ever encountered. Well protected, you don’t even need to use bumpers

Hmmmm, do I let the cat out of the bag??? Fine.
This is a pretty great little camping spot, but honestly, the campsites not on the water are not worth the $ 20 charge, but the ones on the water are worth more than that. There are some really nice campsites on the water. It’s a great way to wake up, although, I have yet to camp here when that great view wasn’t accompanied by gas golf carts and leaf blowers and such by 7 AM. Aaaaand fine, campsite 11 is the best, but also the hardest to get.

This is a wonderful place. I come camping here a lot and the sites are large and shaded the only draw back is the fact there is no sewer sites available. The bath houses are not up to par. As much as I love this place I have to be honest and say the bathrooms are just bad and the core really needs to upgrade these and maybe add A/​C.
Now since I have told the bad let me explain about how nice it is here. The sites are about as private as I have ever seen at a core property. The beach is nice and clean and the playground is very fun for the kids. They have sites that are right on the water and they do have a dock and ramp for the campground guest which is always a good thing. Over all this is about as good as gets when it comes to core campgrounds. Some of the bath houses are better at other locations and some might have sewer sites but this by far the best overall sites and location of them all.

Truly one of the hidden gems of outdoor life in Nashville: it has a campground, but also a parklike area with picnic tables and access to the water directly in several areas, as well as a boat ramp.
The great thing about it is that only the campground itself is a for-​pay area, while the rest of it is entirely free.
I’ve taken my son to seven points lots of times, and he loves to go and throw rocks in the water. We can spend a quiet hour together, I watch to make sure he doesn’t get too close, I watch the boats pass, I enjoy the blue sky, and my son loves the opportunity to make stones splash into Percy Priest Lake. We’ve gone at least a few times for the last three summers, and he always gets a kick out of it. We visit a beautiful area for free, he drains some energy, and I get to have quality time with my son. What can be better?
