Koomer Ridge Campground is in a great location with access to many trails. The sites are clean and maintained and level. Bathroom and shower facilities available. Well shaded. The amphitheater is in need of repair. No electricity, water is available. Sites are well spaced out. Fire rings and tables are available at each location showers are central location as vault toilets are available in each area.

Nice campsite at the end of the road so traffic less. Bathroom and water close by. Sun/Mon nite stay so campsite was not really busy. Cicadas were very loud in the afternoon but hey, that's OK. Excellent access to the local area - hikes, fishing, etc and not so far to civilization if you needed some last minute items. Lots of birds. Having a shower building available (even with only cool water) was a nice surprise. Thank you to the USFS staff responsible.

Nice quiet primitive campground with well maintained sites, the bath house was clean and having a trailhead right from the campground was great. Site 29 was spacious enough for my 26ft camper and a tent and hammocks

The campsite site was beautiful and well maintained. The bathhouse was exceptionally clean throughout the entire day! The only downside of my trip was the lack of dry firewood available due to the rain storms, of course not the fault of the campgrounds.

Great spot. Best for tents as many sites were not at street level. Big storm in the area and many trees down. The rangers were out in full force cleaning it up first thing in the morning

Shower house is closed for remodeling! You pay the same price.

Initially, our site was steep. We were able to trade for a More Level site which was conducive to having a camper trailer.
The campground hosts worked well with us.
We knew ahead of time that the restroom was being renovated, but pit toilets we're available.

The campground is very nice, with a mix of flat easy to use camper sites, and some more secluded sites as well. Some of which require a short (and sometimes a bit steep) climb to access. The drawback is it's close proximity to the Combs Parkway. There is the constant sound of traffic. It has no electricity, but a modern bath house. Unfortunately here we are at Memorial Day weekend and it's still not open, due to a contractor dragging his feet on the re-tile.

We arrived at Koomer Ridge in May to find the bath house closed. While the rec.gov site currently has the closure alert, the USDA site does not, and when the reservation was made in January there was no closure alert. Rec.gov sent many reservations reminders but none mentioned the bath house closure. Why couldn't they include a change in status with the reminders? That said, the pit toilets were tolerable and needed to be pumped. We did not stay for our second night.

General

  • Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground.
  • Reserved Sites will be held until the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests. Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
  • Fire Restrictions: Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed.  
  • Don't Move Firewood: Protect Kentucky's forests from tree-killing pests by buying your firewood locally and burning it on-site. For more information visit https://www.dontmovefirewood.org/ 
  • For more information about the Daniel Boone National Forest, click here https://www.fs.usda.gov/dbnf 
  • 2 pets are allowed per site.
  • No electricity at the campground.
  • This is Bear Country! For bear and human safety, keep a clean campsite and do not place food or other attractants in your tent. 
  • Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
