Fishing Creek - Lake Cumberland

Lakefront, mostly shaded, nice campground

Nice lakefront sites in this campground.  Access to the water is not so great.  You have to go down steep inclines between campgrounds.  I did find a picture of steps going down between two sites, but I must have missed it when we were there.  I stayed on site #6.  It had room to back my motorhome (37ft) into with barely enough room to park our truck sideways in front of the site.  We parked our boat trailer at the ramp and left our boat in the water below our site. We didn't use the bathhouse, but heard it was okay.  There should be a warning sign that when you get to the bottom of the hill coming in, there will be a sharp turn left into the campground.  If you miss it, you will be in the ramp parking.  It was very quiet during the week, but the weekend got pretty crowded and a little loud during the day.  It has a public picnic area and a beachy area that the locals use.  We swam there also.  It has a nice little playground.  Bike riding would be okay, but rather hilly.  The biggest drawback would be the dump station.  The switchback turn at the top of the hill to get to it was too daunting for me to try.  We started to try and backup the hill, but the shoulders were drop offs and narrow road.  I didn't chance it.  Brought it home to dump.
