Stayed here this weekend!! The hosts were amazing. The facilities are well kept. The view from our site was amazing!!! The sites all seem well maintained and level. Even the primitive sites were super nice. Not very big. But has a boat ramp, beach, swimming area even though it’s not marked and a nice playground. Will definitely come back yearly.
Waterfront. Fenced spaces. Clean. Affordable. Waterfront. Family Friendly. Waterfront. Clean playground fenced in. Quiet. Waterfront. Get the picture? Beautiful waterfront campground on lake Cumberland. This is so good I almost didn’t post it, selfishly. I would say this is more for families and the chill quiet types. There are other grounds on the lake for louder partying camps. Stay here.
The views from our sites were great! Very quiet campground. Sites along waters edge are very close together. Must be able to keep your pet on a leash.
This place is awesome. Paid a visit earlier in the season (April) and will be back this weekend (middle of August). Glen, the campground boss is awesome! Looking forward to seeing him again and hanging out around the campground. Only negative is some areas are a little tight to get around in with a large camper. But well worth it!
Beautiful here, tent camp site was great. I bikecamped here after riding from Lexington.
