Busy place on a Saturday in late Oct. Not my kinda place. Lots of kids. TVs. Noise. Golf carts. I think most families with small kids would have fun.

Very close to hiking and most sites are not level but a beautiful area

Sites 36/37
Koomer ridge is very pretty and quiet. Views are great, we didn’t do anything with the camp store so I can’t speak to it, but it’s also close to great hiking.
Pit toilets are…well pit toilets. The set near our sites were cleaner and newer than others.

Camp on the Kentucky
Very friendly staff! Accommodating On The last minute booking. Cost about $44 but water and electric is included on our partial site. Trash on site. Clean and close to the river yet not easily accessible unless you use the boat ramp. Looks like they had locker rooms or showers but did not go in to see them. Convenient camp store on site.
Juliana J.RangerTurkey Foot Campground
Pretty and Quaint
No service and I wholeheartedly suggest getting here before dark because driving in was like the intro forest version of The Hills Have Eyes. Abandoned houses and even a cemetery at one point. If you’re into it like I am, this was a welcomed, eerie experience. Only complaint is that the site felt a little “lived” in with random items and trash left behind. For the love of Pete, please pack out your stuff. Found a spot with direct water access. There was a picnic table and fire pit. I arrived after dark so did not explore until morning. The river had cool rocks and there was obvious beaver activity. The massive boulders and Tarzan worthy tree vines made for a scenic adventure that was worth the drive for.

Koomer campground
Beautiful and spread out sites. I experienced bad traffic noise … loud trucks all night. Never ending road noise all day. Maybe some other sites further in are different.

Quiet, Relaxing Hideaway with Great Ownership
This 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!

Nice campsite.
Good place to stay. On the noisy side due to distant highway traffic. Facilities clean but the site was a bit on the pricey end for a walk-to basic campsite. Did have some Verizon cell coverage.
Connie B.RangerWalnut Meadow RV Park
Serviceable
The campgrounds around here are old and not updated. But with the high price of campgrounds around here, we don’t mind staying in an area that is older for a cheaper rate. Most campgrounds in the area are $50-$75, this place is $35. With water and electricity. So it doesn’t matter that the bathrooms were quite dated but clean. There are showers but only shower curtains. There is a code to get into the bathrooms.
