Site 17 is a pull through site & we liked it very much. Great for small or large campers. Our 5th wheel camper was easy to pull in & out of.

Had camping site #23. Beautiful location next to the Caney. The site itself was a little hard getting tent pegs into and out of. Showers and restrooms were well maintained and thanks for the hot water.

Our first visit to Ragland Bottom, and definitely not the last! The Hosts were very friendly and helpful with suggestions for things to do and see in the area. Of note, Center Hill Lake & Ragland Bottom is at the bottom of the main road and cell phone reception is very limited, at best. There is Wifi around the check in station, which is within walking distance from every site at Ragland Bottom. Small price to pay for such a beautiful and well maintained campground. We will be back!

Ragland Bottom is a beautiful place to camp. This site is right on the lake with a beautiful view. We had no problem with phone reception (Verizon). Mr. Tom, camp host, and the volunteer hostess are the best. Any problems and he will handle.
