"There aren’t any shade trees near the cement pad sites but the sites themselves are immaculate. This Labor Day weekend we stayed in a pull thru gravel spot. Minimal effort to get leveled and set up."
ScoutNeeded an overnight and this was perfect! We were right on the water. The few people we saw were really nice and friendly. Good facilities. Would stay here again!
TravelerReally awesome spot. Site was a walk-in site with plenty of room. Fire wood and kindling were at the site waiting for us when we got there. We had a perfect view of the sunset from the site. Sounds from the lake and birds. The site is enough away from the path that you have completely privacy. Really a super cool place to camp.
A couple things… we had two ticks on us relatively soon after getting there but didn’t see any others all night. So be especially careful if you have pets! Also, there was a firefly run that took place in the park starting at 8:45pm. It was a big event with music and tons of people that we could hear from our site…so just check the event schedule before you book if that’s going to bug you!
Would 100% book again!
LegendNo time for pictures to much family time. Large beautiful park with lots of amenities. Boat ramp, disc golf, trails, kayak rentals, archery range and more.
TravelerSite is about a quarter mile from the parking lot so pack light, bring a wagon, and/or be ready for a work out.
Tent pad is raised so even though it rained and the water streamed through the middle of camp, tent was fine.
In near a slope which leads to the river, which the kids loved but younger kids might find dangerous.
Toilet is by the parking lot. No running water. Dollar general is 3 min away. No road noise unless someone is reving their engine in the parking lot but you will hear trail hikers. Bring your own wood. TONS OF BIRDS you will hear them all day long and see all sorts of different kinds. Really pretty and relaxing scenery overall. Probably best for solo campers.
TravelerI e been a seasonal camper at Kennisee for 5 years. It’s a great place with a lot of events and entertainment for family’s. Multiple fishing ponds , Friday night bingo , bands , fishing tournament for kids, duck race, Christmas in July and many other activities. Many amenities and very clean bathrooms and showers.
GuideFirst time at this park I can see why it's always booked up. It seems like the sites are good sized but some are on slopes even the pads so make sure to bring stuff to level. Bathrooms were clean separate showers verizon works well here.
GuideTL:DR-This is a really nice, well-kept campground, though there may be some noise.
Pros: very clean, well-kept grounds and bathrooms; there's a nice-looking playground, two lakes, trails.
Considerations: the entire time we were here, the wind was 10-15 mph and all of our neighbors were very quiet, friendly, and respectful. So the majority of what we heard was October winds blowing leaves off the trees (nice!!), but the few times the wind died down, or when motorcycles or large trucks were on the highway, the sound came thru loud and clear.
The only other thing I can say that I don't think others did, is that some of the sites, like ours, while more or less level where you'd put an RV, might require going up or down an incline to get to the picnic table. A bit of a problem if you have trouble with knees or hips. ;)
LegendNice huge CG with mostly long term residents. Gravel roads and relatively level gravel sites. Good FHUs. A lot of amenities for things to do. Laundry facilities were clean with good machines. We would stay here again.
ScoutBeautiful place. Host was very accommodating. Great time.
