"The huge field is available for tent campers, but these are primitive sites with no water/electricity. The improved sites with water/electricity are closer to The Pavilion and Shake Out Lounge."
"There are limited 30 amp sites and several sites with electric. Lazy Oaks and Piney are in the trees, Cardinal which is good for larger RVs is in the field , no shade."

"This campground in the Kingdom Come State Park has about 6 or 7 sites, and they are primitive with no running water, but good pads, picnic tables, food hangers, shade from trees, and fire rings."

"They do not have any water or electric hookups and no cell service, which is all a plus in my opinion."
"All the sites had a fire pit and I believe tables at the sites. They close the gates at night and don’t open the gates till 8 am was the only drawback."
from $8 - $20 / night
"Kind staff. Clear directions. Escorted to our site. Trash pickup nightly at 5. It is clean and well run. But just too cramped for 5 stars. Neighbors on our back side were 8 to 10 feet between rigs."
"At check in, they led us to our spot in their golf cart, making sure everything was good for our set up. They checked on us multiple times during our 4 day stay."
"**The campground and general area is beautiful with a welcoming vibe. It can get a little crowded in the campground at certain times due to holidays but it's not hard to lose the crowd."
"We stayed in loop A, the other loops had many campers set up for the recent flood victims. Loop A was our favorite and it was close to the lake!"

"The park is super clean, tons of showers in the bath house, nice little pool, lots of amenities at the camp store, fire pits and picnic tables at every site, a little creek access to wade in, and everyone"
"This is a great place to camp if you are looking for a local area driving distance to the mini trails in the gorge. There are not very many mature trees., and the highway is very loud."
from $50 / night
TravelerThis place could not have been more accommodating. There’s a restaurant that serves all 3 meals! Good for all types of campers - excellent tent spots, RV spots, and cabins. Some of the RV spots are difficult to get into but they more than made up for it with everything else. Would stay again for sure!
GuideThe sites are pretty spacious, varying degrees of level, but the park is well maintained with beautiful flowers, clean bath houses, friendly staff. I'm disappointed we were just doing an overnight here as I would have liked to have gone to the pool and done some hiking. Overall a great experience. I was a little concerned when the youngsters in the park were still running amok at 10:15pm, but then realized quiet hour isn't until 11... and little later than I would have preferred, but they were having fun and things did get quiet around 10:30pm. If you don't want that, I might suggest not picking a site right across from the main playground. I would definitely stay here again. They also have a couple of adorable cottages available too.
GuideThis was the creepiest place I have ever stayed. I had all kinds of strange vibes from it. Maybe because it was raining. I don’t know. The guy who worked there was super nice. I won’t be back though.

RangerThis is my “go to” campground when I need to get away for a few days and reset in nature. Hosts are great! You can pay via Venmo when you arrive / super easy. There is tons of primitive camping and quite a few sites with electric and water. There are plenty of bathrooms and showers. Love this place!! Will be back!!
ScoutA great spot on a beautiful lake. The fire pit was lovely with a view of the water. The covered deck is the perfect place to enjoy a book, a cup of coffee, or just the surrounding nature.
GuideThis is a great place to camp if you are looking for a local area driving distance to the mini trails in the gorge. There are not very many mature trees., and the highway is very loud. However, they have full hook ups, and the lots are very spacious., they have an amazing restaurant called toads in the back of the camp, we had amazing food and drink drinks there, and they have beautiful outdoor seating.
RangerThis is a great campground! The owners are awesome. Plenty of sites (some with electric and water, some with nothing). Bathrooms and showers. Even has a lounge with books/TV and a cafe. Also has cabins on a lake.
TravelerIt'll do for a quick stay. Staff was very friendly. Sites are literally mom and pop developed land. Grounds weren't filthy. But the bathrooms are curtain closed the shower is small and meh. Cops frequently circle do either high crime suspected (very possible) or they like the area. Either way I felt safe.
