Our favorite campground ever!! A man knocked on our camper door at 1:30 pm (you don’t have to leave the site until 2:30) saying he had the camp site reserved for that night. He then went to the office and told them and the awesome manager came and told us to take our time and have a safe trip home. He’s literally the sweetest dude. So thankful for this campground that is somewhat close to home!!

Exquisitely beautiful lakefront camping site, shower and restroom facilities were nice, and the laundry access was fantastic. The trail off the campground was a bit overgrown but provided a nice destination overlook that was also a bit overgrown. Lots of poison ivy and oak along the way as well. Although our stay overlapped with a holiday weekend, it never felt crowded. We definitely want to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Ragland Bottom Campground. The campground was very clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly quiet, making it a great place to relax and enjoy nature. The scenery is beautiful, with many campsites offering easy access to and views of Center Hill Lake.
One thing to keep in mind is that the campground is very hilly. Depending on your campsite location, you may find yourself doing quite a bit of walking or driving up and down steep hills. It wasn't a problem for us, but it's something to be aware of if you have mobility concerns.
Overall, it's a beautiful hilly lakeside campground with a peaceful atmosphere, clean facilities, and stunning views. We would definitely stay here again!

Always a great experience. The only things they could improve on is keeping the grass cut, the bugs are worse when it isn't kept cut. The bathrooms are going too long without being cleaned. There was trash and hair all in the floor/ sinks. It should be checked multiple times a day.

Site 9 is nice for views but no shade after 12 noon & that matters in 95 degree sunny weather. Super camp hosts. Beautiful setting & all sites have shade trees except sites 9 & 15, which are simultaneously the most private with super river views & access. This is a very enjoyable campground. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying their stay at Ragland Bottoms.

Nice campground with sites on the lake. The bathhouse was nice and well maintained. Sites could use some updating. The picnic tables were rotten as was the railing at the back of our site. Overall a very nice place with beautiful views of the lake.
