"Having recently moved to Kentucky from California was so happy to get to camp in another season besides summer."
"E-12 was close enough to the bathrooms that it wasn’t a bad walk but we didn’t have to smell anything. Water pump was across from the campsite. Plenty of space for four tents. Sturdy pic-nic table."
$31 - $128 / night
"Stayed here for one night on a road trip to the Great Lakes. It’s basically in the middle of nowhere but nestled nicely on a lake with pretty water and nice scenery."
"It is close to the water. We left our boats down on the bank. You have a "private" restroom and shower house. Occasionally you will get a hiker or someone coming through the trails that will use it."
"The proximity to the river and kayaking is a big priority for me. They have kayaks for rent at the campground or you can bring your own. "
"We were able to put up a 20 x 10 canopy outside of our camper canopy with plenty of extra room. Lots of space for the kids to run."

"It is located just off Exit 11 on the Bert T Combs Parkway (the highway that runs through the area, which is a beautiful drive itself)."
TravelerStayed one night. It was clean, and uncrowded. They were flexible. The first site we had we were unable to set up our StarLink so we scoped out another site where there were no trees and then asked to switch and they were accommodating. We were working most of the time and when we weren’t it was raining so we didn’t see much of the park.
GuideThis campground has some of the largest and best spaces camp sites of any full hookup we have visited. There are great walking paths and biking/ scooter options. Our site was closer to the main road than any other but it was still a few hundred yards away. There is river access and it is close to Shawnee State Lodge and Portsmouth, which had great flood wall murals. The site was very clean but could use more trash cans to keep it that way. There is either a shooting range or someone shooting on their own property nearby that did steal some of the peace Saturday midafternoon but it was only for a few hours and wasn’t close enough to be a big deal.
ScoutThe staff was amazing, little games available like badminton, and very clean!
ScoutMe and my family were here for 2 days and everything about it especially at night it’s really scary would not recommend
ScoutGreat fishing, kind people, and wonderful views ❤️
ScoutThe campground is in a wooded area and each campsite is separate by woods from the nearby sites. There are shower and toilet facilities close by. The campground is located on a lake.
LegendWe camped here over the weekend with our dogs.
We had campsite 38, one out of 3 that are away from the rest of the sites.
The campground is not very big, but very well maintained.
The sites are very close together.
A big plus was definitely the little creek, perfect for the dogs to play in.
The bathhouse was very clean. One of the 2 showers had no bench, which makes it difficult to keep all your stuff dry while you shower.
There are 2 trails that you can hike from the campground. Both were dog friendly, the rest of the park is not.
Nearby is Miguel's Pizza, which is a pretty place to stop and ear breakfast, lunch, or dinner with outdoor seating
The whole area is absolutely gorgeous.
We hiked to Gray's Arch, which is about 15 min from the campground.
The skylift to the Natural Bridge is very close by.
LegendJust a beautiful park. Clean well maintained. Lots of amenities. Paddle boats, marina, 18 hole disc golf, bike park, huge dog park, store,archery range, playground and trails.
TravelerWe just left and had a wonderful time! Campground is clean, seasonal campers are kind and the views are beautiful! We stayed in site 10 right on the river and the views were great. Lots of green area to play. Huge open field as well by playground. No activities yet this year as the season just started. Not sure if there is enough to do with kids for an entire week but we had fun for the weekend. We had a great hike at a trailhead directly across the street from the campground. Took us a little over 3 hours for the entire loop with a 4 year. He walked almost the entire way so it’s doable and the views are worth it. Overall wonderful campground, we will be back!
