Meriwether Lewis Campground is located on the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway at mile post 385 in Tennessee.
This campground has potable water, flush toilets, trash and is absolutely free.
A paved roads bring you to this 32 site campground run by the National Park Service. This is a primitive campground, but each site has a picnic table, fire ring and a trash can shared between sites. Half of the sites are pull thru to make it easier to park.
There are two clean bathrooms with running water located at the campground for campers to use. There is also a spigot with potable water located at the restrooms.
Leashed pets are welcome and you may stay up to 14 days. Make sure to camp in designated areas only and the quiet hours are between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Place campfires in rings only and please don’t leave them unattended.
This is a first-come, first-served campground so no reservations are accepted. We had 4G with both Verizon and AT&T with our booster.
We only spent one night here in our tent because we were moving on to Alabama, but it was great. The camp is clean, quiet, and pretty.
There are a ton of trails to hike including the old Natchez Trace trail. We did get to visit the grave of Meriwether Lewis whose monument is located right near the campground. Planning a trip back here to visit for a while is on our summer to-do list.
Always follow the Leave No Trace Seven Principles and try to leave your camp nicer than you found it. Please research campgrounds before visiting. Rules and regulations may have changed since we stayed there.
