My husband and I just spent three days/nights at Trace Branch Campground. We thoroughly enjoyed our tent camping trip.The staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were well maintained and the bathrooms/showers were clean. The only reason I gave Trace Branch Campground 4 stars instead of 5 stars was because the restroom/showers had 42 steps (round trip) or a very steep road/drive up to it. It seems there should be a winding concrete path to make them more accessible.
It is a beautiful place! Very quiet and peaceful! The campground is surrounded by mountains and a river runs on one side of the park! Very clean and neat! The staff is super awesome and very friendly and helpful! The cons: if you are not an expert driving on narrow roads through the mountains, be ready for a very stressful drive! Also, you will not be able to use your phone or internet as there is no signal there. None. And is a flood area so you might be awaken in the middle of the night to have someone tell you that you have to go because the river if flooding (happened to us today, 08/18/2021)!
Our stay here was incredible. Such a beautiful place in the Kentucky mountains! The camp managers Terry and Jessica were beyond welcoming. They were very friendly and accommodating. We are from Illinois and i feel like we were shown true southern hospitality. Their knowledge of the area helped us find some of the most breathtaking local hidden treasures. Also, the showers and restrooms were very clean and well kept, the communal garbage reciprocal was always emptied so it was never smelly and the campgrounds overall were spotless so you could really enjoy the natural beauty of the foothills. The nearby playground (visible from the campsites) was great for the kids!
