Great campground! Some of the spots look a bit tight for bigger campers but it's a very quiet nice place to stay! Site 31 will fit a 33 tt. Site 32 has a big tree that will keep you from going far enough back. 34 and 35 look to be the prime sites.

Great campground! It was clean, quiet, and peaceful. We were there when there wasn’t a lot of people camping. It was close to trails and historical attractions. Plan on going back soon.

Awesome state campsite! Great showers. Close to a bunch of destinations. Highly recommended for tents and smaller travel trailer. Very clean and well taken care of.

Robert and Jenny were amazing camp host. They were very friendly and helpful. Upon arrival Robert came around and introduced himself and let us know if we needed anything let him or Jenny know. Campground was very clean. Will definitely be back and hope Robert and Jenny are the host when we return.

Lovely NPS campground on the Kentucky side of Big South Fork NRRA. It was pleasantly quiet and restrooms & showers were clean. Campground was well-maintained and the hosts were very friendly. Sites are somewhat short, which limits access for large fifth-wheels and some sites are far from level.
