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

I enjoyed my stay at the Wilderness Road Campground. I liked that there were hiking trails that started at or near the campground. The bathhouses/restrooms were very clean.

Nice campground although many sites are on a hill which makes tent camping more difficult.

Great campground. Just be aware of size of camping spot and the slope of the pad, those can be a little inclined. There’s quite a bit to do around the area. Dutch treat Amish store in Ewing, Va. Gap Cave tour and Hensley Settlement tour in the CGNP. Pinnacle overlook is beautiful at sunset. Lincoln museum at LMU. Nice coffee and sandwich shop in CG TN. Walking and hiking trails. A cool walking tunnel near the dog park in CH TN. Restaurants in Middlesbrough KY.

The campground was clean. Some of the campers were noisy. The ranger talked to them but the camp host ignored the noise, perhaps because their campsite was located away from the noise. It would have nice to have water at the campsite. The drain at the dump station did not work properly. Overall a good experience in a terrific location.

We love this campground! It’s ‘no frills’. But, the spots are large, shaded and private. It’s the quietest campground I’ve ever stayed in. We explored Pine Mountain, Cumberland Gap, Wilderness Road and even took a drive over to Kingdom Come State Park.
