The only issue qe had was the table qas right in the middle of campsite and to heavy to move. It was hard to get camper into Then we had to squeeze between table and camper to utilize the rest of the area

We had an amazing time at Ragland Bottom and the Host Tom was friendly and met all our needs. Couldn't ask for a better experience as far as camping goes. If in Tennessee again Ragland Bottom will be first choice for camping experience.
