Ragland Bottom

campsites needs charcoal grills

This was our first time at Ragland Bottom. We enjoyed our stay very much. The campground was clean and had very nice bathroom and shower facilities. The parking and boat ramp was convenient as well. We stayed at a paved RV site with water and electric hook ups. The staff were very nice and we met a lot of very nice "regulars" that camp there often. We will be back.

We always enjoy our stays at Ragland Bottom. Nice views of the lake. Always clean and well maintained. The campground has the best hosts in Tom and his wife as well as the volunteer hosts. Highly recommend.

Wonderfully level site. The rest rooms were very clean and the staff super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, it rained for the entire visit so I didn’t get to take advantage of all the amenities. I would definitely go again.

Ordinarily, I would give Ragland Bottoms 5 stars. However, y'all have not been maintaining Ragland Bottoms up to standard. The host is fantastic. The people who clean and mow are wonderful. The view is spectacular. The location is one of our favorite places on earth. You also fixed the water temperature issue of being too hot in the bath house, which I greatly appreciate! The ramp platform at the campsite is finally completely rebuilt. It is so much easier to put boat in and pick up the car driver (as well as dropping off), since that is now in place. Having said that: The women's bathroom commode leaks at base, which I learned has been reported more than once through reporting channels. Too many of the rails at campsites and even at the volleyball court are failing and dangerous if anyone were to lean on them. The men's handicap shower has no handheld, so is basically unusable for any handicapped person. There is at least one, perhaps more, campsites along the water that have no covered table on which to place items. (See pictures of Sites 13, no table, and sites like 12, 14, etc., that do.) Also, too many sites are missing the hanging pole on which to keep our garbage away from the racoons and skunks! We "made do" with a clothes line between trees, but it was way too close to the ground and could have easily been invaded by any creature. Sadly, no effort has been made to keep the walking trail clear. I asked if it were possible to have boy scouts make that an Eagle project, but I was informed that the red tape made it impossible for those who had wanted to do that to get approval from the Army Corp. I hope that attention will be focused on Ragland Bottom Campground to return it to the excellent standard it has had in the past for us. We dearly love the place and want to see it receive the love and attention it deserves. Thanks for listening.
