Short trip with Big Rewards

My daughter and I decided on an impromptu weekend camping/hiking trip coming from Western Kentucky. The weather was great, location amazing and scenes are breathtaking. The area was mildly populated so we had time to take pictures without being rushed. We camped at the camp sites right down the road which was very clean and well-kept. (The outhouses could use cleaning a little more often though). The hike was very easy and we recommend a sunset hike. This a very short hike so you can squeeze in several short ones in a day. The site is first come first serve and self-pay ($10 p/night). There are only 12 sites total The sites fill up quickly and we were very lucky to find one. It is considered primitive camping so no bathhouse. There is a little tradepost about 10 mins down the road if you happen to forget something. We will definitely come back again. There was so much more to do.
