General Burnside Island State Park Campground

If your going to the woods to golf...then this is for you. No trails, but a very nice golf course. Then there's the boating. The campground was a little close and crowded the October weekend I was there, but maintained and well staffed.

Ehh, well kept green

General Burnside SP campground is large and can accommodate most rigs.  My site, 14 was smaller than most, but right across from the bathhouse.  State Employees kept it meticulously clean and did so each morning around 8am.  Some camp sites provided more shade then others.  I stayed here because I wanted to the play the on site golf course, which was also well taken care of.  Many people camp here also because of the public boat ramp for Lake Cumberland.  Seemed also to attract a lot of family reunions.  If you are a sightseer, I would definitely recommend visiting Cumberland Falls State Park about 30 minutes away.

Great Campground

Sites are big but not level.  We put one side of the RV on the pad and the other in the gravel just to be level.  Sites are also awkwardly diagonal in places so the back ends get pretty close.  (Pic for example)

The bathrooms are clean and laundry is nice.  Showers are free and hot.

There are some awesome hikes nearby in Daniel Boone National Forest.  Natural Arch, Yazoo Arch and Yazoo Falls are all worth the drive.

Lastly, there’s a racetrack across the highway (Lake Cumberland Raceway) and it is LOUD.  The race continued from 6pm-1am.  Highly recommend you check their schedule before booking here.

Mostly great with some awkward sites and a racetrack nearby

We had a great time there. Some sites can be small so do your research. It was nice and quiet in the area we were in. The bathhouse was nice and clean and all the workers were very friendly.
