Our campsite and the bath house were clean and well cared for. It was fairly quiet and not much traffic on the road. Just what we were looking for. Aside from relaxing at the camp site, we spent our time swimming and kayaking in the lake. This was our 3rd time at this campground, and it's well worth it.

Very nice campground. Has warm showers, flush toilets, and pretty level lots, with plenty of room. The lake is pretty and the water is clear. We stayed at this campground for 2 nights. We brought our mtb and rode the trail along the lake, which was very nice. It was also close enough to Cumberland falls. Will put this place on my bucket list to go back to again. So we can see the moon bow at Cumberland Falls π€

We always have had great experiences with this campground but there are some very rude camp hosts. I donβt know if there are new people but in specific a lady whom was very rude. So, my family and I probably will avoid this campground which is very sad!

We were in G5. There is a slight decline backing into this particular site which may scrape a hitch attached to a trailer (ours was an inch from scraping). Nice and quiet. Cell service ATT had 2 bars and was able to work and stream on hotspot. HINT: When going around curve - SWING as WIDE as possible. Someone had a boat trailer rip off both axles on this corner. Clean showers and bathrooms are about 100 yards, slight uphill from spot. Spacious lot, with nice tree coverings. Lower deck is roomy enough for a gazebo with an additional fire pit and picnic table. Would have rated five stars, but not really on waters edge. There is a self made path from the site to the water shore down a some what slight hill. The path also intersects with the hiking trail that goes around the lake. Camp hosts are the best and very helpful.

We had a great site in the F Loop. Access to the lake for bank fishing was great.

A-7 is a beautiful site with a view of the lake. The weather was rainy and we had some standing water in the campsite, but other than that it was a wonderful camping trip.
