We stayed at Buckhorn Campground for a week and was disappointed by how inaccurate the Recreation.gov listing is. It advertises swimming and Wi-Fi, neither of which exists. There's also no mention that the dam is under construction or that the closest local amenities are quite far away. The campground feels insecure with no gate or anyone checking passes, and staff is only present a few hours per day. Future campers should know the real situation before booking.

We love this campground. There is plenty space between campers. We were hoping that the remodeling had been completed and the sites all concrete. The gravels at the camp sites are a nightmare to keeping the camper clean. This is definitely an upgrade that I would recommend. The gravels are al the only complaint I have.

Great spot next to the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River! Small campground. Very well maintained! Bathrooms were centrally located and super clean!
