About a third of the sites have lakefront views. There is also an easy access to a beach. One of my favorite sites in Kentucky.

Staff was very friendly and helpful; sites are nicely spaced. Directional signs to the campground when one arrives at the boat launch ramp might be worth considering.
Also, since Lee's Ford Marina only rents motorized watercraft, consider adding info at the gate house about the kayak rentals available at the Pulaski Park immediately across the lake from the ACE campground; very nice equipment & easy to acquire (smart phone app, like a remote parking app).
BTW: really appreciate how well maintained the campground & facilities are - wow!

Easy access to campsite. Bath house was clean. Access to beach areas need a little work and cleanup.
