Handicap ramp is not easily accessible to the fishing dock. The dock needs to be positioned further out in the water to make the slope of the ramp less. A one inch o'er foot slope would be better for someone wheehlchair bound. The handicap parking cshould be redone also.

Great spots! About 40 mins from Red River Gorge. Clean bath house and restrooms. Would go again!

Campground was decent. Grass needed cut in most locations. No amenities or camp store. Restrooms were clean but the lights were on a timer. They came on every morning and went off in the evening. At night, restrooms were pitch black so take a flashlight or lantern lol! One last thing. Trash bins were open mesh on top and the smell permeated throughout the campground especially if the wind picked up. It was in the 90’s both days so it was pretty ripe. Staff were friendly and check in was easy.

A nice, simple campground. Very relaxing and quiet. Shopping is quite a ways away. Stock up before you go. Loved the scenery

The sites are well equipped, but small. There is really not anything to do at the campground for families. Do not be fooled by the pool photo on Google. There is no pool. That pool in the photo is 40 minutes away on the other side of Buckhorn Lake. We did enjoy our stay, as it was just my daughter and I on a quick getaway. If I had brought the rest of my kids I would have been disappointed at the lack of activities that are within the campground.
