Beautiful setting overlooking Lake Cumberland! If you have a fifth wheel over 32 feet, DO NOT RESERVE A SITE HERE, you will not be able to make the turn around when you leave. The staff came to our site the day we were leaving to say “ We don’t know how you’re going to get out of here” We have a 45’ Toy Hauler fifth wheel and we took out the awning and scraped the whole side of the RV. My husband... Beautiful setting overlooking Lake Cumberland! If you have a fifth wheel over 32 feet, DO NOT RESERVE A SITE HERE, you will not be able to make the turn around when you leave.

Pretty good views, but there's no hiking trails or good bank fishing spots (too many bushes, trees, and a steep bank). But if you're camping and have a boat this spot would be perfect for you. The restrooms are clean and kept up.

We love this campground! It has hook-up & it's not expensive. The host is friendly and the facilities are clean. We feel safe bringing our family here. Somerset is close and there's shopping, a roller skating place, and a water park nearby.
