Good camping and friendly campers abound. Fair prices. The playground and beach area are being upgraded but we're nice without any upgrades. There is a TVA boat launch and parking next door, with locked boat storage area adjacent to the campground. Never did I find the restrooms dirty. Firewood and ice are there and payment is on the honor system. There is a washer and dryer on site that I was told worked, but I never tried it. Would I return? Yes if they had a slip to rent so we could leave the boat in the water all season.

1st year under new ownership. My wife and I have been trying to secure a year round site at this beautiful campground for 3 years. The previous management wouldn’t take a phone number for when a spot opening would occur. After new owner Dennis Miller took ownership last fall he answered all my questions and gave us a personal tour of available sites and told of his plans to update the campground service and amenity’s. They organized a cookout for the campground and furnished food and answered questions about campground rules and changed rules where the majority of renters agreed. Now one month into the 2023 season several changes have taken place including boosters on the free wi-fi. Upgrades to the freshly painted shower houses and an improvement to allow adult children of site renters to also enjoy their parents site without the parents being present. If your looking for a gated campground on beautiful Kentucky lake, that’s clean, quiet and peaceful, give Dennis a call and ask about availability. If you haven’t seen Wildcat creek campground before your missing out on what others have found to be our little piece of heaven on earth. Update; going into the third season, we couldn’t be happier. Many improvements have been made, including the entrance gate, beach area, hot water heaters in the bath houses and they have also added a new Glamping option wall tent with all the amenities you will need which can be found on Airbnb . Many friends have been made and the memories are adding up.

We stayed over our kids spring break. The weather was cooler but we made the best of it. Town of Murray is very close by and there is an endless amount of things to do. The campground is clean! The shower house/ bathrooms were Clean! Easy to back into our spot with a 33' bumper pull. Fishing is usually good this time of year but it was too windy for us to go on a boat. We tried our hand at a near by campground that had deeper water off their docks but the wind was not for the kids so we just adventured off on a couple of hikes through the wood following the creek.

This campground is a hidden gem on a beautiful lake. The campground is very clean, organized & well maintained. The couple who manages the campground are the nicest people who truly care about the comfort and ease of there customers. We can't say enough about their kindness.. We are making our way back home to Florida & have been able to enjoy the quiet and serene landscape. The campground provides electricity, water & a dumping station. The clean crisp fresh air is healthy for the body.

This was an awesome place! So peaceful, we only were able to spend two nights but we will come back again. Really nice owners, friendly & made us feel like a friend from the moment I called. We were staying in Louisville & we were not happy so I called last minute to see if they had a couple of nights open & lucky for us they did!

We came to Wildcat Creek campground in mid June, 2021. The campground is very nice, with a clean shower house, nice views from the camp sites, and a nice beach area. We used the beach every day we were there. The owners and Charlotte are very accommodating and helpful in every way. We recommend this campground to anyone wanting to stay on Kentucky Lake.

This is a great campground with a scenic view. The owners were very helpful and nice. The shower house was very clean. It could use some heat for those brisk mornings, but that would just make you wanna stay in there longer. Would love to experience the campground in the summer , but the beach looked well kept. Will be back next time we are through this way!

We stayed here one year ago and loved it. The owners are amazing and stayed to helped us get setup. We returned for a week 5/17 and had a tire blowout on our fifth wheel camper. The owner took the tire in and had it replaced for us so we could enjoy our stay. This campground is almost like a bed and breakfast. If you need something, the owners are reachable. They are constantly maintaining the grounds keeping the place looking great!
