One of the best campgrounds we’ve been too. Our site was well shaded and perfect size. The nearby beach and marina were great! Will definitely make the return trip!

We were intent on staying 2 nights but left after 1. Granted it was July 3rd and our 3 sets of neighbors were loud people in general, but were loud and inconsiderate well past 10p. My family and I got very little sleep.

Campground is close to lots of amenities. Quiet and comfortable. If tent camping know that there is only 1 bathhouse so choose site wisely. Beautiful area of Kentucky. Go visit!

Although you are in the woods, the ticks are BAD! Rotten railroad ties (lining the site) and spikes sticking up from those (watch your tires and feet)!

The flood lights around the restrooms are very bright and could keep campers awake.

Line voltage frequently drops to 103 and water pressure is very high.

Ranger is very nice and seen frequently while camp attendents stay at gate.
