Very nice area of Kentucky Lake! Campsites are clean, the views are spectacular and workers are super friendly. Owners are super kind and readily available to help. They do their best to plan activities throughout the summer for kids and adults. Highly recommend!

There was no one at the office to check us in, no one at the gift shop. The website and map when choosing your campsite was very deceiving. We had to rent 2 sites to keep our vehicles close. If it wasn’t my sons 10th birthday and he wasn’t so excited I would pack our stuff up and go home.we were harassed over a fire. We were unaware there was a burn ban, no notification, no one to tell us, and then we get harassed over a fire. Not only that the “grounds keeper” that did finally come around wants to be a smart ass. Well we won’t be back here

Very friendly & funny people. It's in a great spot and their gas is a Very reasonable price. They also offer free breakfast/lunch for those interested. They even serve until after the church people are getting out ❤️

Rented one of their campers for 4 nights, get there and no AC, hot water, cable TV is out on the entire site, beds are in dire need of replacement. Definitely not worth the $115 / night + tax. Motel 5 min down road with everything that is lacking and more for under $100/ night. Hope to talk to owner tomorrow and try to get something worked out. They knew about the hot water and cable and did not say anything about it at booking. I fish this lake 2 to 4 times each year and others. I am a loyal customer to places that provide the product represented. I am not a complainer. This is my first negative review of any place like this. If owner makes it right, I will update this review. Update. Owner called me a few minutes ago. She is going above and beyond expectations to make this right by me. Highly recommend doing business here. Still don't recommend the campers because the mattresses are horrible. Maybe they will get replaced soon. Anyway, awesome Owner and customer service.

Such a remarkable place. The staff was welcoming and the views were phenomenal. Glad I chose this secret nook to spend my time at the land between the lakes. Even had some nice docks so I could fish in between hikes
