This place is awesome!! I can't wait to go back! The park "hosts" are great. They are pleasant, understanding and more than willing to help you. Situated not far from The Natural Arch in DBNF or Cumberland Falls(both are must sees!). The campground itself is well maintained and the location is perfect, right on a quiet lake that has fishing opportunities galore. It's nice and quiet, bathrooms are super clean and the sites are space out well. There are only 35 sites so make sure to get your reservations in early during the summer months. I am DEFINITELY going back in the spring and fall.

We loved staying and look forward to staying again. The staff was great, the camp ground was very clean. Bathrooms might be a little older looking but were always clean.
