Waitsboro Campground

Excellent place!!!

We were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to find the campgrounds so close to Somerset and how very beautiful it was. Almost every campsite is overlooking beautiful Lake Cumberland and the sites were a nice size and most pretty private. We were located at #7 and while #6 was next to us, there was a privacy fence. The bathroom was just up the hill from us and was very clean with flush toilets. I noticed that it was cleaned everyday that we were there. While there is a boat ramp when you come into the campgrounds, there is no real place to swim or safely walk down to the water from the campsites. Some campsites were only for tents. We had to drive 20 minutes to find the closest place to swim. There wasn't much grass for walking the dog. The cost was low. We had a delightful time and will return.

My family has ALWAYS camped at Waitsboro, the main guy has always been hateful but we have looked over it until now. While camping my dad got several sick, I kept the campground updated as I passed in and out of the campground going to and from the hospital. The day of leaving we was breaking down the campsite/ cleaning, in the middle of doing so I got the call my dad passed away. The others who was camping with us finished packing everything up, they was under the impression the campground picked up the trash (ONE tied up trash bag) as we was saying our final goodbyes at the hospital the hateful man called saying he was sending a citation for the bag of trash, he was very nasty about it. I had to leave the hospital and take the trash off. For one, he knew my dad just died he could have put it on the side by side and taken it to the dumpster (I didn’t even know they had dumpsters). For two the nasty attitude was uncalled for. The disrespect spoke loud. I’ll never be back, it’s not about the trash bag, it’s about the disrespect.

Campgrounds are excellent.
The shower house could use some attention. Better lighting on the outside. Cleaner showers .

The pictures make you believe the water is close to the site but it is not. Best case it’s at least a 50 yard down hill hike over rocks and fallen trees. Trash and debris around the campground and shore line, and I mean lots. The only inviting or even remotely friendly campground staffer was the younger guy taking out bathroom trash. Lake Cumberland is great just not this site. I’ve never left a written review on anything and have camped a minimum of twice a year but most years 3 for the past 6 years at various campgrounds from Lake Berryessa to Lake Greenwood with the kids, this was the most disappointing . The choice is yours but I felt obligated when I got the email asking my opinion.

I had two sites so copy and pasted. I also remember only one site had parking.

This was our 4 summer camping at site 8, by far the best site in our opinion, we are hopeful that they will reconstruct the steps that lead to the bank and water.

We had a wonderful time site 17 has a decent grade you have ti get your camper up over but once at top it us a awesome spot to camp and view is wonderful.

Excellent campground
