Bledsoe Creek State Park is located about fifty minutes outside of Nashville, just past the town of Gallatin. It is deeply entrenched in Middle Tennessee history, having once been a hunting ground for multiple Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek and Chickamauga.
Once known as the Bledsoe Creek territory, the area became a Tennessee State Park beginning in 1973, and it borders Old Hickory Lake.
There are 57 campsites for you to visit and enjoy, with rates fluctuating from $24 to $35, depending on where you decide to stay.
