Our site was level and spacious. There is noise from the nearby highway. The shower house could have been a little cleaner. The pit toilets near our site were good. Unfortunately on our last day some people arrived who crapped on the toilet seat of the pit toilet and did NOT clean up after themselves. :-( A good location for exploring the arches in the Red River Gorge area. You can hike to two arches from the campground.

Site 15. Site was very clean when I arrived. Site is close to shower house which wasn't an issue in May but could see it being annoying in prime season. Bathrooms and showers clean and nice warm water. Gravel surface was fine. Didn't feel too close to other sites. I had spotty service with Verizon, my daughter good service with Tmoble. Would camp here again

Campground is convenient to several trails in Red River Gorge. The bath house was always clean and stocked with toilet paper. The showers had hot water. The campground map on recreation.gov was not working properly for me; it showed all campsites overlayed on top of each other, rather than in their proper locations. A lot of sites did not have site photos, making it a guess as to what the site actually looked like.

Great for car camping at the gorge! The camp host is so accommodating and such a lovely help if you need anything. Wonderful for families - bathrooms and showers are decent, and the sites are spread out and well taken care of.

This is our favorite campground in the area. The sites are nicely spaced and the shower house is a major perk.

Beautiful campground in the woods, easy access to trails. Very quiet. Nice sites with tent pads, picnic tables, and fire pits. Firewood and ice available at camp host. Great place to stay in the Gorge.

We only stayed for two nights to tent camp, but we almost felt pampered with the access we had to running, potable water and then a shower house right next to our campsite. It was very convenient and nice to have these amenities right there in the Koomer Ridge Loop. Our spot was well marked and we reserved ahead of time to ensure we had a place to stay (highly recommended). We had an excellent double-pad, and several trees to also set up hammocks, with access to Silvermine Arch trail and kindling for our campfire. Access to firewood and ice was right there at the entrance to the campground and as long as the front porch light was on we were able to purchase these items on site. Excellent location to the Geological Area and everything felt secure and safe while we were there. Would highly recommend, especially if you have little ones; very family oriented and with the paved road kids even have access to bring their bikes and scooters. We will be back!
