Very clean & Quiet. The Tent sites could have had more level area to put up the tent. There was plenty of shade. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. Great tent sites right on the water.

Beware this is a walk-in site on a very steep hill. I will be filing a complaint with Rev.gov because this information was not disclosed in the app. It is standard to provide the type of site and distance from parking for visitors to know what they are reserving. I drove two hours to then turnaround and go home because I didn't not want to hike back-n-forth to the parking lot all weekend. Such a disappointment.

Ragland Bottom is a wonderful place to camp. We have been boaters on Center Hill Lake for over 30 years. We have boated by Ragland Bottom and always wondered what it looked like up close. We camped there recently and loved it!! I highly recommend camping at Ragland Bottom
