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

The wilderness Road Campground was clean and well maintained. The toilets and showers were also clean, and the warm water in the showers was GREAT! Fresh water was just that, clear and odor-free. The personnel there, the camp host and the rangers were personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone - we will go back.

nice campground. The visitor center has a museum with a lot of interesting historical information and 2 movies. Stopping there prior to hiking the trails made our hiking much more meaningful and interesting.

This is a very nice campground. There are many hiking trails in the area and a nice visitor center.a few miles, away. The campground is heavily wooded and most campsites have shade. You'll need leveling blocks as most campsites are not very level. Site F11 was my first site. It does not have much level usable ground.
