We stayed at Fall Creek. Absolutely loved our stay. So relaxing. The only complaint is regarding the very steep boat ramp - for some, it is a difficult climb! Our site was very spacious, clean, and had a great mix of trees and open sky for star viewing. We did find a scorpion at our site, so be aware. The lake is beautiful and you can see your feet...so clear!

Great little campground, it was a little tight with a boat. The camp Hostess was really friendly and helpful. Only 1 shower in each bathroom. Only one person gets hot water, husband said it was cold. Lol! 🤣

Beautiful small campground located at the end of a peninsula, at the end of a somewhat steep, blacktopped country road. Surrounded on three sides by water where Fall Creek meets Lake Cumberland. The sites are tight, with not a lot of maneuvering room. I'm going to say that this campground is not really big rig friendly. We pulled our 27 ft 5th wheel in and went back and forth a lot to get into our site. Fortunately, since all the other sites were vacant, we were able to utilize the other sites as maneuvering room. The dump station is really difficult to get into too! Sites are electric and water only. Gravel base, lots of shade, level. Very well kept and clean. We were there on a Tues night in mid-August, other than the hosts and a tent, it was empty and so so quiet. On the weekends in the summer, expect a LOT of boat noise as this is a very popular "party" lake with tons of boat traffic. I live here, so I know how it is. We don't even go anywhere on the lake on a Saturday it's just so crazy. 1 bar on Verizon.
