This is my favorite campground that I local to me. It is always so well maintained! The staff are very friendly and the campsites are spacious and spaced apart so you don't feel on top of each other. I love going to the lake and I hope to go often this summer.

H9 site was one site from the bathroom. We chose to drive to nearest showers in the G loop. About a minute away. Otherwise a walk thru the woods on a trail. H9 was very level and easy for out 20ft trailer to level out and setup. Very sturdy and well built picnic tables. Best Iβve ever seen in a campground setting. Spacious site location. Didnβt feel like we were on top of each other. Felt secluded.

When we arrived there were people on the site who did not have their equipment off the site. We had to wait about 30 minures before they got off the site. This has happened to us a few other times,. Once we waited about 7 hours to get on the site, because the people were on the lake all day. It seems that there should be something that could be done when this occurs. We are always told that we can get another site, but have to pay for the new site as well as the one we reserved. Seems like there should be some other option, like transferring the money from the reserved site to the new site. Otherwise, the trip was fine, campground was nice, as usual.

Beautiful camping here. Private swimming coves in the summer. Walks around the lake all camping season. Close proximity to Cumberland Falls State resort park where hiking trails are excellent. Plus, Sheltowee Trace Outfitters available in this are for kayaking and canoeing.

The campsite was a good size, located in a lovely wooded spot overlooking a lake. There were hiking trails right off the site. We had a slight problem with the electrical connection, and they promptly sent someone out to take care of it.
