Cyclists, you can walk or ride your bikes across the closed bridge on 11th Airborne Division Road. For those without military base access, put Wohali Pavilion (WP) in your GPS; there is a parking lot just across the street from WP. Ride across the "ROAD CLOSED" bridge to ride on low-traffic roads and gravel trails, especially on weekends in the "back 40" of the base. Plenty of wildlife and scenery... Cyclists, you can walk or ride your bikes across the closed bridge on 11th Airborne Division Road. For those without military base access, put Wohali Pavilion (WP) in your GPS; there is a parking lot just across the street from WP. Ride across the "ROAD CLOSED" bridge to ride on low-traffic roads and gravel trails, especially on weekends in the "back 40" of the base. Plenty of wildlife and scenery in every season, especially early to late fall as the leaves change color. No water points on roads or trails other than creeks and streams and cell coverage can be spotty. Plan your ride, route, potential emergency recovery, and post-ride water and nutritional needs carefully. Before you ride, there are portable toilets up the hill near the Eagle's Nest RV Park that you drove past on the way in. The hard stand latrines are usually locked unless there is a group function using the RV Park pavilion or the ball field and then "maybe" they are open, but don't count on it so bring TP and hand sanitizer.

Honestly this place deserves more than five stars. Our experience has been amazing. The park is so clean including the showers and stalls. Plenty of shade and even a stream with turtles. It's gorgeous. There's a skeet range next door and most nights you can see deer feeding in the ranges meadow. It a peaceful place to stay.

Hidden gem of a campground. Awesome bathhouse and easy after hours check-in. We only wish the installation would improve the surrounding pavilions and park benches for Soldiers, civilians, and veterans. What happened to the horses?!

First, what was good about the campground? The showers and laundry room were clean and well maintained. Check in was super easy. The sites were pull through and mostly level. It has been quite for my 2 week stay other than the occasional helicopter passing over head but that is to be expected. It's only $28/night($25/night with the National Parks Access Pass)for FHU.

The sites were pull through and mostly level. It has been quite for my 2 week stay other than the occasional helicopter passing over head but that is to be expected. It's only $28/night($25/night with the National Parks Access Pass)for FHU. That being said.... The park is in serious need of renovations and up dates. Many of the parks features are unusable due to neglect(picnic tables, benches, walking bridges and even a road bridge). You can tell the last few Commanders at Fort Campbell didn't care about this place and literally let it rot! Many of the cabins were in disrepair as well. A family staying in the cabin next to me moved out early because the AC was not keeping up. I could tell it has never been serviced(I used to work in HVAC). Several of the cabins are missing shingles and it looks like it has been that way for a long time. One cabin had caution tape around it as if it was being worked on but I have been here 2 weeks and no work has been done. This is sad because my family loves military campgrounds. And campgrounds are cash cows for installation MWR programs. The campground is not the only MWR facility(Gardner pool, golf course, horse stables, ball fields, play grounds, Child Development Centers)in need of reinvestment. This is a direct reflection of installation Commanders and their leadership! They are failing their Soldiers, retirees and their families! To the Garrison Commander and the Commander of the 101st, this is our home and your responsibility! Take the welfare of your Soldiers seriously and fix the MWR facilities on Fort Campbell!

This place is open to the public but ran by the military. Two campgrounds in close proximity. Full hookups for 25 bucks a night! Roomy sites with a picnic table and a grill. The sites are not well maintained at Eagles Rest as the grass is taking over the gravel sites and needs trimming. There are NO firepits. Fletcher's Fork down the hill has paved pull through sites.

Roomy sites with a picnic table and a grill. The sites are not well maintained at Eagles Rest as the grass is taking over the gravel sites and needs trimming. There are NO firepits. Fletcher's Fork down the hill has paved pull through sites. Bathhouse is nice and code is needed to get in. There is a large pavilion for rent/use , playground, picnic area, basketball courts. 4 stars for full hooks and large site. More like 3.5 if I could give a 1/2 star. I would stay again. Came for the eclipse.
