In the hot summer there is very little shade on sites 2,3 and 4 but it is still a beautiful campground.

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.

This is not the place for senior citizens. I had to climb steps to get to my campsite as well as drive my car up a steep hill to use the restroom.
I have since decided to rent a handicapped campsite, despite not actually needing one, to make sure this doesn't happen again. I found this stay disappointing.

Overall my stay was very good. I was in campsite 8; which was fully shaded and had a great view of the lake. The accommodations were in good condition. Steve, the campsite manager, did a great job. He answered all questions and made several daily trips throughout the campsite to check on campers and if you had any needs.
The only down side was the dump station. It is located on top of a hill with a very steep incline. The station looked as if it had not been used. Other campers as well as myself did not use it either. The turn down the hill from the dump station is very tight and difficult. I have a 34 ft trailer and I would not have been able to make it safely by myself nor with additional help.
With this being said, I would still recommend this campsite for a great camping trip.
Respectfully, David Ashley.

Was not what we expected. Sites were really small and very narrow roads inside the campground. Dump station was nearly inaccessible once inside the campground, without having to go all the way back out, dump, go all the way back to the end of the campground and back again due to not having the necessary room to turn around or back into the campsite except from one direction.

BEAUTIFUL campground! A little difficult to maneuver because its tight quarters, but the COE has done a great job with the sites. Ours was right on the water and was large and very well maintained. The dump station is up by the restrooms so we had to go out the gate and back in to get to it ...not a big deal, though. Totally would stay there again.

Nice campground although a bit tight on some of the spots. Mine was 15 and is a backin site which is uphill and a turn going up. I can see where some would have a problem. Also the dump station is very inconvenient to use. You have to go out to the entrance and make a U-turn to make the steep uphill pull to the dump. When you get there your rig is pointing downhill to dump. Without those issues I would have given a 5.

The signage for the facility was not clear. If you google the address of the facility it will bring you to a very nice but still a neighborhood. You would have to pass the neighborhood and continue down the road. The next sign you will see will tell you the road ends at water! It does not! When you arrive the camp host just points at your parking ticket and provides no further instructions. The dump station only allows you to go up dumping from the right side of your camper. If your back tank is on the left you will need a longer hose. The campground itself is nice but for someone who’s never been it was a bit frustrating.
