With big party camping next to us, not as quiet as desired. Shared steps to lake not a positive, but access to water was pretty easy. Would prefer more vegetation between campsites, yet overall USFS campsites are far superior to state ones. We will wait until after August 15 to see if we can find a waterfront walk-in campsite at Franklin Lake.

I booked my site on Jan. 10 2021 payed for a lake site. When i arrived there were 2 boats in my lake site neither one payed for a lake site. I had to wait till mid week to get my boat where i wanted it. I have camped at this place many times at a off lake site i always put my boat in the water and took it out the same day sometimes twice Not happy.

Everything was good. Would be nice if the water on the top of the hill campsites was in working order. Otherwise it was good camping.

We love Kentuck and come for at least one week a year. The only problem we ever have is the mosquitos can be really bad but that’s nature!!!! We use a fogger and that really helps. I do want to comment on the campground hosts. They are awesome. They do a great job keeping the outhouses clean and they are very friendly.
