Waitsboro Campground offers beautiful views of Lake Cumberland, with many sites providing privacy and spaciousness. The campground is well-maintained, with clean restrooms and friendly staff, although some visitors noted issues with the steep inclines and inconvenient dump station access. Overall, guests enjoyed their stays and appreciated the scenic location, despite some minor frustrations.

Loved the view of the lake....but needs improvement. Washer and dryer was out of service during our week long stay and the bath house was not heated nor does the the handicap shower have hand held. We saw several homeless that linger (overnight) at the entrance and we had an older male beg for money. Even though we used a water filter, the potable water had a yellow/brown tint which was concerning.

Clean restrooms and shower facilities. Campsite #20 is right across from the restroom, so it does lack that privacy. Overall the campground seemed to be very quiet and I enjoyed my stay!

Boat ramp was a nightmare due to flooding debri. Trash all over the banks not just in the water. This was obviously not just from rescent rains
Volunteers were sitting out enjoying the day in their lounge chair. Plz can we atleast attempt to care? A volunteer shop be helping maintain the ramp and the grounds from trash.

We drove 1 mi from our home in Florida and arrived at our site #8 on June 26 2024
The electric box was duct taped and inoperable
Temperatures were in the nineties
According to a sign on the office door The camp host and the assistant were BOTH off on Wednesdays so we had no one to straighten the situation out so we had to scramble for alternate accommodations
I hope they got the electric fixed for the next campers as the 4th of July holiday was fast approaching

Everything went well . We had a wonderful time!
I do hope some day they put a lock on the shower door . It can’t cost more than $5.

Beautiful quiet spots. Stayed in spot 7. Had a great view of the lake. It was tight in a few places with a 38 ft TT. Very nice boat ramp with paid parking.
