Most sites are level and gravel, all have water/lake views. If you are from out of state and are over 65 you do NOT need a fishing license! Catfish are abundant. No camp store or laundry but the grounds are well maintained. The bath houses could stand to be updated. 2 boat ramps, large picnic area would be perfect for a family gathering and a roped off swimming area. Stores, restaurants and shopping both to the east and west 30 minutes. Kentucky dam village has a nice Buffett on Friday nights.

If you’re looking for a site that is a level and away from a bunch of other campers, but yet can still see the lake and enjoy the quiet and solitude of a campsite, then this one is for you.

Great site with a small downhill entrance to the site, but the site is level. We enjoyed watching the otters play on the rocks below us, and the wildlife outside of our campsite. The site is on the water and a very enjoyable campground to visit.
