About Wilderness Road Campground

Wilderness Road Campground is nestled in the lush forests of the Appalachian Mountains in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park , where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia meet. You can access miles of forest and mountain trails directly from the campground.    While in the park, drive up to the Pinnacle for a breathtaking view of the mountains or check out Civil War earthworks. Hike to the pale cliffs of White Rocks, the gaping mouth of Sand Cave, or the historic Hensley Settlement to see how mountain folk once lived. Stand in 3 states at the same time or immerse yourself in thousands of acres of proposed wilderness. Walk a path once traveled by the bison, Native American, longhunter, and pioneer. Stand in the narrow mountain gap where Daniel Boone stood and where thousands of people risked everything to reach and settle what would become America.    Wilderness Road Campground includes 151 wooded sites open to tents, trailers, and RV campers. Electrical hookups (20-, 30-, or 50-amp) are available at 43 sites. Group sites are also available. The campground is open year-round with limited campsites, as well as the comfort station between loops C and D, open during the winter season (mid-November to mid-March). 

Number of accommodations: 151

True hidden little gem. Sites are well kept with nice space between each - the electric sites (Loops A, B, and C) are a bit tight but offer ample shade. The tent sites Loops D, E, F are spacious and easy to find a space isolated from other campers. No direct water on any site, although wells located near all the Great restrooms, which are always clean with awesome hot showers. Abundant trails right from campground, some which link directly with other very lengthy gorgeous trails. Good biking trails nearby and this little jewel is a mere 1.5 miles away from another hidden, wonderful semi-secret - Cumberland Gap, TN. Campground is always quiet and worth a long weekend stay.

Highly recommend! Tucked away from the city life but right off highway. Minimal traffic noise. Camp hosts very friendly and keep the place very clean. Perfect for tent camping. ⛺️

The Wilderness Road Campground was perfect. We had electric hook up on our site and filled our tank at the campground entrance. We stayed on Site C1 which felt like a treehouse. During our stay we hiked to the Saddle of the Gap on the Wilderness Road trail and drove to Pinnacle Point overlook. Highly recommend this National Park.

The grounds were well cared-for and facilities were well maintained. A broken shelf in a shower was fixed by the next morning!
If only the rangers could control the weather! ;-)
