Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area Hillman Ferry Campground

We were very disappointed to find the bicycle trail in unusable condition. It should have been repaved many years ago. The restroom in the C loop had 2 unusable showers and a 3rd with a broken screen so it was filled with bugs. In the toilet side the windows were closed so it was hot and stinky. Campsites here are not cheap so I think hand soap should be included. There are a lot of semipermanent rigs set up; it's probably packed on weekends. We had a small water view site with a cement picnic table where we could watch a family of very bold squirrels. The store had ice cream, firewood and a few essentials. There was reasonable WiFi outside but the area was dirty and never cleaned. Perhaps if we had a boat or jet ski this place would be a better fit but as it was we left early and won't return,

Over 300 campsites from primitive, electric w/ water and full hook ups in each area along with campstore, modern restrooms and shower houses and so many things to do: swimming, fishing, boating, boat ramps, laundry, basketball courts, archery range, playgrounds, hiking trails plus seasonal events, amphitheater and church. We visited before the busy season so lake was low and fishing sucked however and it was peaceful/quiet. I can definitely see this campground being crazy when sites are booked solid.

Great campground with beautiful nearby walking trails. A short drive to the observatory and bison prairie. We would go for a lake view site next time.

This place is hopping. A veritable modern day camper city. Little too busy for what I want.

Nice amenities. Very clean. Has bball and baseball field, The Outpost for your convenience store needs. Lots of water front camping with 10x more places. Several different areas to camp in. There were a lot of people as this was spring break, kids everywhere. Lots of bike riders, walkers, joggers and golf carts.

Only gave it a 4/5 because it was too busy for my liking.

This was our first camping trip with our new-to-us rig, and even though the weather was horrible for all but the last day of our trip, we still had a nice time.  We chose site 44 after looking at the site map and deciding it would be pretty simple to back into and wow were we wrong.  The pad itself was rather level...once you got into it, but to get into it, you had to angle down the side of a  hill, then cut it back the other way and straighten it out at just the right time. 😳 Once we go into the site (thanks to a Good Samaritan that stopped to help with some extra lights and a bit of coaching!), we loved it. And, after driving through the entire campground the next day, we decided it was the best site in the whole park for our size rig! 😂  Seriously though, we were across the street from the bathhouse, which is always nice with kiddos, and there was nothing behind us but a little stream and a bunch of woods leading to the lake.  There's hiking, fishing, archery, a nice playground, etc...so there's plenty to do at the campground and there were some rather epic sites on the lake...for tent campers. 🙂

It was a great place to camp with great bike trails and everything you need to clamp. It was just too INSANELY CROWDED and very noisy. Didnt help that our site was right on the main access road. Probably wont go back to to Hillman Ferry.

Large campground with plenty of Sites. Several sites by the water and an entire section with full hookups
