Great campground if you want to be secluded from everyone else. Easy access to the lake with great views. All non electric sites is a drawback because you have to hear generators all the time, but I'm sure that's one of the reasons it doesn't get overcrowded like all the other campgrounds anymore. Just don't let your dog off the leash. Grumpy camp host.

This is our first time camping at Craven's Bay. We really love it. They have flush toilets and water spigot. No electric hookups so bring your generator. It is about 6 miles off the main LBL road, so be sure to head to the store before arrival. They do sale ice here. $2 for a 10lb bag and $4 for 20lbs. Great place to bring kids to have a day or weekend playing in the water. Highly recommend

So many sites! Peaceful on the water. A lot of trash around our site, that was the only bummer. Toilet was clean.

Really nice campground. Sites were level with a paved pad for the vehicle and pea rock pad for the camper. Roads in the park were paved. Many site have view of the lake and some are right on the water. Quaint village of Grand Rivers is close by and the campground is at the entrance of the Land Between the Lakes.

Love it. Clean bath house and friendly people. Be sure to bring bikes or golf cars or both or you can just get your exercise in by walking or running. A great camp ground for all types of camping.

We hung up our hammocks at midnight, in the absolute darkness and woke up to an amazing view right on the water. Enjoyed a quick breakfast and took a paddle on the lake. We saw abundant wildlife—an osprey grab a fish out of the water, a bald eagle, a giant turtle, a white heron, and lots of jumping fish. What a great spot!!!
