The camp host (Teresa) was very nice.
The whole area is very clean. The sites are a bit small. We came back to our campsite late Friday night, and found our new neighbor had moved in with his awning and the front of his pickup hanging over into our space. We maneuvered into our space close enough to reach the water with our 10" hose, but just barely. We had to leave very early the next morning, so I never got to see our inconsiderate neighbor.

Party crowd on beach made the trip bad. Need water patrol to shut down drunks at 3am plus the shooting of clay pigeons

Fishing Creek is an awesome place! We loved that we could beach our boat right at the campground, so we didn't have to continuously put it in and out of the water. Gene & Teresa are incredible park attendants, and they are so attentive! The facilities are kept clean as well.

The camp ground was well maintained and the staff were wonderful! We had a beautiful view of the lake from our camp site. Our only misfortune is timing. We arrived shortly after they had lowered the water in preparation for the winter. We will absolutely return to this location at a different time and recommend it to anyone looking to visit Lake Cumberland!

We stayed in tent Site 17. The electric and water accessibility was great for the cold nights we were there. There was a lot of people staying around, but it was secluded enough in the trees that you hardly felt anyone was there. The provided bathrooms and showers were very clean, and worked perfectly.
