Private campsites & glamping in Smithville, TN
Smithville is the county seat of DeKalb County, an hour east of Nashville on the shores of Center Hill Lake. It's known for the Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree each July, but glampers come for the lake: Your Glamping Adventure's domes and tree tents sit in the hills above Center Hill with private hot tubs and sunset views over the water.
Practical notes: Center Hill Lake is a 64-mile reservoir with swimming, boating, and cliff jumping — bring water shoes for the rocky shoreline. The Jamboree (July 4th weekend) books the whole county, so plan around it or embrace it.
