What Guests Are Saying

Waitsboro Campground offers a beautiful and peaceful setting with great views of Lake Cumberland, making it a lovely getaway for couples and families. The campground is clean, well-maintained, and features friendly staff who enhance the experience. However, some challenges include tight maneuvering for larger trailers and an inconveniently located dump station, which can be frustrating for newcomers. Overall, many campers enjoyed their stay and expressed a desire to return.

I love this beautiful campground. The staff are very friendly. The campsites are on the most part pretty good. Some are a little hard to get into with a large RV. There are several good lakeview sites. Sorry kids there is no playground. Watch out for the bout traffic in the parking lot. The parking lot is narrow for through traffic.

Been coming here for years. Love the place. Disappointed that done of the trees have been taken down and some sites have little to no shade. Being close to the water helps on super hot days.
