We enjoyed our stay in the F loop again. Always neat and clean, The staff is great, We had a water leek at the site, they connected us to the host next to us and had folks out the next morning fixing the issue Only downside for me for a campground of this size is only one dump station. 9 of us were lined up on checkout day.

This was one of the most pleasant experiences we have had while camping. From the entrance kiosk decorated for fall with pumpkins and flowers, the attendant’s wide smile and welcoming manner, to one of the cleanest and largest campsites I have ever had the pleasure of staying in! The bathrooms were well stocked and clean and all the resident attendants we interacted with were great! We would definitely stay here again!

Loved the campground... sites were spacious and well maintained. Laurel River Lake was better than advertised - Clean, clear, cool water, perfect for paddling and swimming.
Only one issue - showers not in all loops (we stayed in H).

I've camped for over 40 years and by far this is my favorite Campground! The sites are spread out so you're not right next to others. Stayed at E7 this time. Good level spot, close to bathhouse, but not too close.

Great campground on a beautiful lake. Camp hosts were very friendly, sites were super spacious with privacy, campground was clean, boat ramp easy to use and really convenient. Definitely top 2 campgrounds we've ever stayed in in Kentucky - We will be back!

The campground was very peaceful and relaxing. Our spot could have used a little gravel work but as long as you don’t have mobility issues it’s ok. I will say the bathhouse in G loop could use a little tlc.
