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 campground is beautiful, nice sized sites and terrific for small campers. We had a 43' fifth wheel and it was almost impossible to get into our camping spot or maneuver around the campground! Our site stated it was for an RV up to 73', which is very misleading. ATT cell service was minimal.

I wouldn't recommend bringing anything longer than 25-30ft to this campground. Site 15 has a pretty serious grade to it. While backing in, we almost bottomed out our rear stabilizer on a 25' BH travel trailer. Had to remove weight distribution trunions to drop the front end an inch or two to clear. You can tell quite a few people have gouged the drive. The dump station is situated at the top of a pretty large hill that you have to go all the way to the boat ramp and then turn around and go all the way back to access. Not much clearance on drivers side to clear the ditch that runs along side the drive.

I'm not sure we'll go back but someone with a smaller camper would have a much better experience. In addition to poor directional signage, they have no firewood at the campground. I was told to go to Kroger.

Need to have gates closed (not locked) at a certain time to help with security. Non-campers driving through at night.

The lock is missing on the men’s shower door.
It needs an inexpensive locking hook.

Campsite had an awesome view. The bathrooms were the cleanest ever at a campground. We had a 30' travel trailer, which was about the biggest I would want to maneuver through there. Highly recommend this campground!
