Bumpus Mills Campground

If you want a small affordable campground this is your place. The shower house could use for some regular cleaning. I’m not sure it was cleaned at all the time we were there. Not much to do in the area but fish unless you really want to explore outside of the campground. I learned after our time there our site is the worst with bugs. I thought the bugs were just extra because it had rained a lot but a friend told me to never book that site bc the bugs are always backs there. Our site also gets all the rain drained from the upper site. When we checked in the host did prepare us our site would flood for a few areas since rain was expected. The sunsets were fabulous!

Great little campground but dont plan on using the restrooms. Because they are beyond disgusting. The white urinals are filled with thousands of dead and living flies. So much that the urinals are nearly black. Id rather use a porta john then even go in there ever again. The views are insane though so if you have an rv you will be fine. But for anyone van/car camping bring a shovel. Went back to try to get a photo as proof but there was a 4in spider in one of the urinals, feeding on the fly buffet, so i noped out.

The host was really nice. The sites are a little close together but offer great views of the lake. Not much to do without a 30 minute drive so it is the perfect campground to set up kick back and relax. The only reason it doesn't get more stars is the latrines and showers. The company contracted to clean them only makes an effort at hosing the floors down and wiping the sinks. I know it is a campground but at least sweep up the bugs instead of hosing them to the corners.

This is a smaller campground that my family has frequented. Usually quiet, right next to Barkley lake, and bathrooms are kept clean. There is a boat dock and a beach close by as well. It has electric (30/50 amp) and water hook-ups with a dump station on the way out of the campground. You usually have to book out your site pretty early to get the one you want so I always put the alert on my phone for when booking becomes available for the season.

Great area to camp. Small campground, good sights. Needs work done to the showers and hot water flow. Been like this the last 4 times we've camped.
