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.

Very steep inclines, sign upon entering, road ends in water, ignore, & NO sign pointing out you need to go up hill to right at the Y. Nobody manning gate, & was not aware of a packet host told me days later was there. Do not go on back on left road if you have 40'+ RV - we did & took 45 mins to get turned around & out.

Our site was very steep to back into but once settled in we had a wonderful view of the water. It was peaceful. The dump station is in an very inconvenient location in the campground and on a slant, not sure how anyone could fully empty their tank. But I'm sure folks have been doing it for years.

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

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.

We drove 1,000 miles 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

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.
