Recreation
Lake Cumberland is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. Its large surface acreage and over 1,200 miles of shoreline provide a myriad of recreational activities. The lake has an abundance of largemouth, smallmouth, white and Kentucky bass, bluegill, crappie, rockfish and walleye, making it a favorite among anglers.
Facilities
Visitors enjoy the 30-acre site and its 30 shaded campsites. Fourteen of these sites are waterfront, making them prime locations for weekend recreation. Cumberland Point has a day-use area, picnic shelter and public parking. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station. A boat ramp and playground are located within the park. The entrance and exit roads have a moderate to severe grade.
Natural Features
The campground overlooks the main body of the lake, offering sweeping scenic views. Dense stands of mature hardwoods forest the site, offering scenic views, pleasant shade and wildlife habitat. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, the lake provides varied outdoor recreational opportunities for millions of visitors each year.
Nearby Attractions
The Mill Springs Battlefield Park is just a 20-minute drive from the campground. This historic Civil War site offers interpretive exhibits, a gift shop and driving tour. Special events are held throughout the year.

Gorgeous
This review is for the ACE campground all the way down to the boat launch. There is another CG with similar name. They are not the same. 50 amp service and water. The sites are gravel. Well maintained. They are however, quite narrow to enter. Also the 9 miles in from KY 80 are hair raising.
Off season pit stop
After labor day & b4 memorial day best time to go
Very compact
Great campground when not busy. Sites right next to each other. We were the only ones there the night we were there and it was really lovely. Lots of trash along the shore, very sad to see. Wonderful campground hosts!
