## Overview

 Waitsboro Campground is at 500 Waitsboro Road and is situated on beautiful Lake Cumberland in southern Kentucky.Click [here][1] for the Lake Cumberland virtual tour. 
## Recreation

 Lake Cumberland is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. Its large surface acreage and over 1,200 miles of shoreline provide a myriad of recreational activities. The lake has an abundance of largemouth, smallmouth, white and Kentucky bass, bluegill, crappie, rockfish and walleye, making it a favorite among anglers. The Black Walnut Nature Trail, located near the lake office, is a self-guided educational trail. The trail is open Monday through Friday 8:00am to 4pm EST.
## Facilities

 The campground offers 17 RV sites, all with electric hookups, and five tent-only sites. Eight of Waitsboro\'s sites are on the waterfront, making them prime locations for weekend recreation. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, laundry facilities and a dump station. A day-use area with a group picnic shelter and a parking area is also available.
## Natural Features

 The campground overlooks the main body of the lake, offering sweeping scenic views. Dense stands of mature hardwoods forest the site, offering scenic views, pleasant shade and wildlife habitat. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, the lake provides varied outdoor recreational opportunities for millions of visitors each year. 
## Nearby Attractions

 General Burnside Island State Park is nearby. It was named after Civil War General Ambrose Burnside, who led patrols along the Cumberland River, circling this 400-acre island to keep watch for Confederate soldiers. Visitors come today to enjoy boating, fishing, golfing and picnicking on Kentucky\'s only island state park. Burnside Marina is 10 minutes away, with boat rentals, a restaurant and general store.

Waitsboro Campground - Lake Cumberland

This place was clean, had several choice spots with water view, and lots of shade!  Loved it!  Lake Cumberland is the perfect summer rec lake to cool off at.  Near Somerset, KY as well for town "stuff!" The best part of this campground are the water sites.  Fall asleep to the sound of the gentle lapping of the water!

Waitsboro Campground 

Nice clean campground 

This campground is built between a steep hillside and the Cumberland River. Most sites don't offer much privacy, but the views of the river are so nice. The bath house was very clean and the showers were hot. Our site was all gravel and level. I think every site has electric and water. Sites 1-4 are closest to the water, but do not have easy access to the river.
The campground is not remote. You can hear traffic from the nearest town. But, the campground itself is quiet. We would camp here again!
