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 🤙

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.

We stayed in A-7 which is a premium double lot waterfront. This was our first time staying here and will come back. It was my husband and I and our 14 month old. We had lots of room and was fairly private. Took a short hike and a walk in stroller but other than that just relaxed around camp. It was a nice long weekend for us.

Excellent camp ground, will come back.Only concern was the electric pedestal on our site 5G, we had 5 high voltage spikes in one day, with only running 10 amps on the 50 amp circuit. switched to the 30 amp circuit and was good. Hope they fix the 50 amp during ther down season.
