We had a wonderful time at this campground. It was very quiet and also very clean. The rangers were doing an interpretive weekend and we learned alot about the pioneers and the area. Very enjoyable! We will definitely be back to this one!

Really enjoyed the camp ground and Cumberland Gap. I stopped here spur of the moment. Booking a camp site was super easy. The camp ground had all of the basic amenities and it was easy to find everything. Cumberland Gap was amazing, had a good day out exploring the trails and the local area.
Definitely recommend!

Our campsite was on an incline and we were able to update to a new site while in the campground. So easy. Reserved using America the Beautiful Lifetime Senior Pass entered into Recreation.gov. Got electric site reduced from $24 to 12. Such a nice campground.
