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.

The boat ramp and trailer parking was totally out of control . No one was in charge. If it was not for some of the visitors the parking lot would have been in a bottle neck.
No one makes rounds of the campgrounds to make sure things are secure. It seams that anyone, campers or not are permitted in the camping area.
It might be a good idea that when no one is in the guard post to list the available sites on the window so no one sets up camp on a reserved site.

You had better be a small to medium size rig. Our 38' 5th wheel barely made the turn around (after asking others to please move their trucks). The dump station is situated wrong (you have to leave and come back into the campground) and it sits at the top of a steep hill...most rigs bottom out going up and back down it;s so steep). The camp hosts asked me and my family every time they saw us if we belonged there (camping)...well yah, you just asked us a few hours ago.

Google gps didn’t take you to the campground it took me to the back of the neighborhood and was tough turning around with a boat. I liked the campground only down fall I didn’t like was at the boat ramp you can’t turn around where your parked you have to back all the way down to the boat ramp or drive all the way back into the campground to get turned around.
