Campsite #9 is a perfect spot for fishing! The views of the lake are magnificent! Close to the bath/shower rooms.

Clean, Quiet, Friendly, Easy Access, Back in, Lakeside with a small bank. Bathrooms could use some work in terms of cleaning , but that's to be expected. 5/5 will return.

We love camping at badin lake campground. It's been a family tradition for several years. We love the scenery, the trails and people are always nice. Sometimes we would take the grandkids to King mtn point for a picnic and a swim. We will continue to camp, swim and enjoy boating on the Lake indefinitely. 😍

The site map does not match with the actual location of site 18. The site is actually located deeper into the cove. We were going to fish with our kids but there was too much debris and moss to be able to fish.

The sites are well maintained. The OHV easy trails are very attainable. We didn't venture onto the moderates.
