            \n
          • Beautiful sunrise over the lake.<\/li>\n
          • Calm and quiet before the rest of the campground woke up.<\/li>\n

          • Less than an hour from Nashville, making it an easy overnight trip from home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Campground Notes<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • A park ranger spent part of the day reminding visitors that swimming is not permitted in the lake.<\/li>\n
            • There were occasional periods of music from nearby campers during the day.<\/li>\n
            • Quiet hours begin at 10:00 PM<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            • Once quiet hours started, the campground became completely silent.<\/li>\n
            • No noticeable vehicle noise, dogs, children, or loud campers after 10:00 PM.<\/li>\n
            • The park rangers did an excellent job keeping the campground peaceful and enjoyable for everyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
