Summary
AI generated
Ragland Bottom is a well-loved campground known for its beautiful lake views, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly staff, making it a favorite for many visitors. The campground is generally clean and well-maintained, with pleasant facilities and enjoyable fishing opportunities. However, some guests have expressed concerns about security, maintenance of grassy areas, and accessibility, indicating room for improvement in these areas.
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.
It’s a great campground. We tent camp on the upper level so only thing we wish is that some of those sites had more leveled places to put a tent and that the upper bathrooms were open so we do not have to go as far to the restrooms. It would also be nice if there was a beach area cleaned out for campers other than the day use area.
