We really enjoy having the open campsite. It allows for more vehicle parking and less rigid placement of tents bathroom facilities are close by. Can't say enough good things about the Rangers that work in that area. They're very knowledgeable and accommodating. Campsite is adjacent to the Mischa Mokwa trail.

Great campground close to many sites and activities. Only volunteers due to government shutdown but very helpful. Bathrooms and showers clean and warm.

We stayed in Cumberland Gap for a weekend and absolutely loved it. It was myself, my husband and our dog. We don’t have any children but the place was very kid friendly. Campsites were clean and shaded. I was very impressed with the bathhouses- they were very conveniently located to all campsites and were so well maintained. Area was quiet and staff is very friendly. What we loved the most is the campsite actually hosted events for kids AND adults!! Lots of trails that start from inside the campsite. Prices were very affordable so we were able to budget a lot of other options into our stay. (We stayed in spot c22 for reference)

This is a very nice, quiet, shaded campground with large sites. Each one has a firering and picnic table. Bathrooms are clean and have coin-operated showers. There is potable water available at the dump station but not at the campsites. Some sites are large enough for 35+ foot RVs.

The campground is lovely! Well maintained, clean and the sites are very wooded and private. You get plenty of shade to survive the hot summer days. Showers and clean bathrooms throughout the campsite. The rangers are so friendly and we loved all the ranger led activities. So many trails to discover nearby….

Not entirely safe! We enjoyed our stay, however we did want to warn other campers. I hate to complain, but just feel others should be forewarned as best possible. This is a lovely old forest, with huge beautiful trees… Unfortunately the trees within the campground are unmanaged, and we feel they are a safety risk to campers. Many of them are long dead and falling apart. Limbs big enough to hurt someone were everywhere after a good wind. Many are falling over at the roots and into campsites- and yes, those poor beautiful trees are hefty enough to easily crush an RV. Even scarier for tent campers. We left our reservation two days early, in anticipation of a coming storm. Strongly recommend camping here during only good weather! RV sites are nice new blacktop, which is great! However this campground is on a steep hill. As such, about 2/3 of the RV sites are not very level- some were nearly at a 30* angle. Pack all of your leveling equipment, especially if you’re staying in C loop! Sites are also a bit short. Our 27’ camper left almost no room for our tow vehicle, had to get creative with parking. Other than that, this is a stunning area and is an otherwise great campground. Very peaceful. Regularly patrolled by law enforcement, it felt very secure. Hiking is amazing. Bathrooms are indeed super clean, and showers are private and hot. Lots of squirrels and birds to entertain you. Just be forewarned, and you’ll have an excellent time here!

Nice level blacktop site, easy to get into with a 34ft rig, close to shoping & historic town of Cumberland Gap & plenty of hiking trails! Would highly recommend!

Great campground. Some spots are kinda small for a big camper. Site we was in had electric only so had to conserve water out of the tank.

Very nice trail for young ones. Pretty and peaceful. A nice gateway from the day-to-day.

Very nice campground. Well maintained, campground host was very friendly. Sites are average size and lots of shade. Very clean restrooms and bathhouses. The only reason this campground does not get a 5 star rating from me is I think it needs a play area/playground for kids. Also it could use more electric sites. They only offer 2 loops(B&C) with electric and they all always occupied. This is one of my favorite campgrounds.
