We also DO NOT have trash service. We will have recycling bins set up for plastic, cans, paper, and compost for your food waste, but plan to take your trash with you when you leave. We will have extra bags for those that forget. We also encourage you to bring your own dishes & cutlery to minimize excess trash as well.

The amenities are not worth the price. The bathrooms are not clean. We paid for a campsite that had water and electric but we had to share water with another site. Luckily there were a splitter available. The sites in the 30s look like they may be spacious but you are on top of one another.
The 5 star review on here is regarding the state park camping, not this site. Would not return.
RangerThere is so much to do nearby. Awesome stores and adventures. Campground has WiFi, fishing for kids, and is in a great location.

This allows users to easily search for and discover new camping destinations based on location, amenities, and user ratings. The app also offers offline maps and filters for specific preferences such as pet-friendly sites, RV accessibility, and more.
TravelerSites are okay. We had one with trees so got some shade. Staff is friendly. The restrooms didn’t get cleaned the entire 5 nights we were here. The floor was swept but the same dead fly on the sink was there all week too. There are only 2 men’s and two women’s shower/toilet rooms for the entire camp. During the week it was not an issue but the place got full on Friday night and having two toilets for each sec is not a good plan, especially if two men want to shower leaving no men’s facilities until they’re done. Probably would not return.
Ranger
The office never seemed to be open. We needed propane upon leaving but couldn’t find anyone. Sites are small, not level and in need of some upkeep. The hookups were poorly placed and the electric hookup was loose. When we plugged in it recessed back into the unit and difficult to plug into. They were to pick up trash at 11 but by putting it b/4 11 I always seemed to miss it.
ScoutAs a frequent wheelchair and otherwise crutch user, I have enjoyed staying at Lago Linda two years in a row for the Adaptive Climber’s Festival. I was able to stay in one of the smaller structures in Bertie branch. Being near a restroom that has accessible options and having electricity right in the cabin, and sleeping in a bed, made things very comfortable. Being able to save my energy for enjoying nature makes staying here a priority.
The lake area is beautiful and I was able to walk it on crutches.
Having energy to be more active and be able to enjoy time with family and friends without being tired is priceless. Speaking of prices, Lago Linda is also cost-friendly for a disability budget.

Stayed on the F Loop next to the lake, fire pit, picnic table, level tent site and bathroom showers a short walk. Camp hosts very friendly and helpful. campsite are close together.
Scout
We love this campground! Had a great time here, the staff was friendly and helpful and kind and it felt extremely remote and secluded and private too! The campsites are very large and spacious - they have firewood and porta-potties on site and its right along the river. Our favorite campsite in the gorge - especially because it has no cell service! :)
ScoutOver all the stay was nice. Quiet and close to everything. Only complaint was they wanted us to buy wood their but the wood was to wet to even burn so I could use it. . Also the Bathrooms were pretty nasty and run down same with the showers.
Blood under one of the toilet sees. Pretty nasty. Staff was pretty nice though and everyone was friendly
ScoutWe always make sure this is our #1 spot to go it's our home base campground , love the mature trees in the campground and the trail around the lake . It's beautiful ❤️ down here must visit.
TravelerWe usually camp in a 5th wheel, but this time we stayed in the breezy point cabin. Very nice cabin, awesome view. Modern updated cabin. Hot tub, satellite and wifi, full kitchen. lake has kayaks to use. You must try this place.
TravelerI was able to get a spot right away in the field for two nights, and Jessica was very helpful in answering all my questions. Nice and out of the way perfect for primitive camping while passing through KY. They even have some nice comforts for those far from home (like a microwave)!
ScoutThis place is a great place to camp either with your RV or if you are a tent camping they have a restaurant as of right now it's open on the weekends they also have a ShakeOut lunch with TV available they have two sets of bathrooms the owners are great people sometimes people getting stuck out here be honors coming home get you out my car won't start one time they came and helped me out these are great people I store my RV here when I pay the monthly storage and when I come into town like I'm going to stay in my RV and pay like everybody else like their tent camping with no electric it's very quiet here and very enjoyable a lot of hiking trails lots of events.
GuideWe stayed on an inner loop and was happy with our site but after scouting other sites, we would definitely go for an outer loop lakeside site next time. Gravel pads. Bathroom and showers were good. Quiet, peaceful campground with friendly staff. Enjoy all the lake activities!
Guide
The facilities are fine. I was in the primitive area and they are OK. But don't come here expecting peace and quiet. There is constant traffic to the water area some blasting music and at night kids are running around on golf carts non-stop. I left a day earlier than planned because I couldn't even here my little radio over the bass blasting from someone several hundred yards away.
GuideGood level spots. Quiet the first week of April. Good picnic table and fire pit. Restrooms are not far from any of the site in the loop. Will update after we use the shower house. I thought that we would be able to walk from our location to the camp store. It is possible but not easy. The camp store and laundry were closed March 31, bought firewood at entry for $8 a bundle.

This was our first time camping and we had a great time! The views were amazing. The staff was nice and very helpful!
TravelerHidden gem out in the woods. Nice facilities with flush toilets, showers and laundry
ScoutAwesome place
Guide
Beautiful, beautiful spot. One of my favorite campgrounds. An unbelievable community shelter and community kitchen. Nested between 2 mountains.
Scout
Very full this weekend. Stayed 3nights as a rest point in our travels. Very clean and well laid out. Laundry was inexpensive and accessible all hours.
ScoutWonderful area. Bath houses/restrooms were very clean and nice. (Single occupancy). Nice area. Beach area of lake was closed due to flooding.
Guide
I only camp with a hammock. I rarely use a tent unless I have too. The staff here hassled me a lot for not wanting to use a tent. I explained to them how much more comfortable and easy it is to use yet they insinuated that it’s not a “good look”.
TravelerWe stayed 5 nights at the Outpost and the owner was extremely nice! Brought me some fresh tomatoes and watermelon for my birthday! The campground was clean, the play ground needed a little attention when we first arrived but they filled in the holes and it made it so much more enjoyable for my 3 YO. The pool was a nice addition. The camp store has the essentials that you may need during your stay. Can't wait to come back!
Scout
Had a really great time at 4 Guys! 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 was super friendly! Full hookups were SO nice. Great location near all Red River Gorge has to offer. My only complaint, and I will say it is a very small complaint — it must be a relatively new park because there are no shade trees. This minor flaw will not stop me from returning!
ScoutAwesome tiny cabin, has everything you need and nothing you don’t! I’ve been coming here for years, always tent camp. Brought my dog this time, I’ll be renting this tiny cabin for future adventures in and around the gorge area!
