Big wooded sites with extremely happy and helpful staff. When I asked a question that office staff couldn't answer, this lovely lady checked with her manager late in the day and came to tell us at our campsite after she got off work! She certainly went above and beyond.
Only cons were the bathhouses could use a bit of paint and the water view sites don't have much waterview due to heavy undergrowth of plants. Nice park overall.

Well we didnβt get to go do you a blow out on our camper & we couldnβt find the size of tire we needed to get it back on the road. I tried calling the campground to cancel but they called me back two days later & told us to contact recreation to cancel and I spoke with someone online and they couldnβt help us. I never heard back!!

Nice large lakeside campsite. Really nice staff. Mostly quiet except for the noisy gas powered leaf blowers. Should switch to electric battery leaf blowers. No cell phone service on Tmobile.

Camp hosts and staff are a pleasure to work with. Many of the picnic tables have been replaced with new tables this year! The campsites and bathrooms are kept clean.

Loved our site H19! Very spacious and wooded. Only half hour to Cumberland Falls State Park. No camp store but marina is close by. Loved the lantern poles. Plenty of room for our 34 foot trailer.

Stunning gorgeous campground! Each site has a tremendous amount of room so you never feel crowded. Water and electric, gorgeous lake and grounds, will absolutely stay there again! The only reason I did not rate it as excellent is because the bathrooms are falling apart and kind of gross and the kitty-litter gravel at the campsites makes tent camping pretty dusty and dirty.

Our site was clean, the bathroom was cleaned and sanitized a few times a day. I wish there was sanitation sites. Also, it's so hard to book a 2 week stay. All the sites are booked for weekenders. Which loses you money, because the majority of the sites are open the rest of week. I think a few loops should be reservable for long term campers, 1-2 weeks.
