This was our first time staying at Fishing Creek and we fell in love. It’s now one of our favorite campgrounds.

Lovely view and campsite, friendly camp host, but do not like the dump station as it is on a hill, my camper is headed down grade when trying dump, only half or less will empty out.

Nice USACE campground on shore of Lake Cumberland. Great boat ramp, nice swimming beach from about July on. Fairly close to everything in Somerset. Only drawback is poor cell reception.

Beautiful location and the attendants, Theresa and Gene, are very nice. Fishing Creek is a great place to kayak but keep in mind that boating in the area is not for skiing, tubing, or doing anything other than riding in your boat. You have to travel out of the no ski area to do those activities.

The female part attendant could be very rude at times.

Not sure why they let tents use camper sites. People next to us had only a tent on a site for camper. They had 2 dogs that ran loose most the time, and would use a jug for a toilet, and poured it out on the ground each morning

Site 20 was awesome. Perfect amount of shade and a beautiful lake view. Loved everything about the campground. And the staff were super nice and friendly. Will definitely be camping there again.

The camp hosts are superb. We have camped at Fishing Creek for a number of years. These folks are the best in all the years we have been there.

Site was clean, as well as bathroom/showers. Site was not even close to being level.
