FOGGY BOTTOM

Foggy Bottom Campground in Jamestown, KY, is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty around Lake Cumberland, Wolf Creek Dam, and the Cumberland River. The campground offers a peaceful, shaded setting with 19 sites, all equipped with 50-amp electrical hookups, plus essential amenities like restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. One of the standout features is the proximity to the Cumberland River, a prime location for trout fishing. As someone who loves fly fishing, I really appreciate having such easy access to the water. The nearby boat launches makes it effortless to get out on the river. And nearby Hatchery Creek is a convenient and beautiful fishing opportunity. The campground has a friendly, family-owned vibe that makes the experience even better. The owners are welcoming and clearly take pride in maintaining the grounds. The owners, Boyce and Tammy Elza, are incredibly gracious and have worked hard to make this a safe place of peace and comfort. Whether you’re an RV camper or prefer pitching a tent, you’ll find plenty of space and quiet to enjoy. If you’re looking for a campground that combines convenience, natural beauty, and a welcoming atmosphere, Foggy Bottom Campground is well worth a visit. It’s the perfect base for exploring the area or just relaxing by the fire after a day on the water.

We stayed at the Turkeys Roost mid August and it was great, clean and perfect for a couple with two bunk beds in addition. It's set up on the hillside surrounded by trees. Pictures are accurate. Jenny was great and allowed us an little early check in. Located very close to the dam and Hatchery Creek it was just right for a fishing trip. They sell a nice chunk of wood for $5 for the fire pit just down around the corner at the camp ground store. The store has some basics and some fishing supplies. It's not a hotel room, it's campy which was cool. You'll need an SUV or pickup to get up the 70 yard drive up there. It's a little rough for a car. We'll be back.

My brother and I have been taking my son's up there to stay at Foggy Bottom for years now when we go to fish the cumberland. We come up from NC. The owners always go out of their way to accommodate us in any way they can. They are very pleasant and eager to make the campground pleasant. We usually stay in the bunk house but have stayed in other cabins as well as camped. They dont bother you, you just enjoy peace and quiet the entire time your there. You just cant ask for any better for just a relaxing stay in the wilderness, good people, quiet place, cool, close to fishing, or hunting. What else is there? In fact we will be headed that way in a couple weeks!

Pros: Cute little cabin positioned perfectly in a wooded area. Beds were clean and bathroom was nice. Within good distance from all local fishing holes and such. Manager/Owner friendly. Fully loaded with all you'd need, houseware wise. Cons: Outside needs work-molded roof and with cosmetic damage. Inside needs more TLC, spider webs everywhere and no broom or anything available to clean it up. Kicked a breaker and the manager/owner didn't get back with us on how to fix it for a few hours. Pro/Con: (depending on who you are!) No wifi but does have satellite dish. Could be a really nice place if fixed up and deep cleaned.

It is a nice private campground. Plenty of room between campsites. Nice bathhouse with plenty of hot water. Owners are super friendly. Definitely will stay here again.
