      Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

      4th Time Here

      This is our number one favorite place to camp. We are from Knoxville, TN and if we are wanting to camp for the weekend but avoid the drive, this is where we come! Area 1 site 25 is our favorite and we are super excited to stay at 108 and 109 in the future. The campground is beautiful. Area 1 is shaded with plenty of trees around making it feel like you're in a little forest, and of course fall is wonderful. Some sites have sewer. I have T-mobile cell phone and I have 3 bars at 5g and my husband has xfinity and has 2 bars at 4G.

      Love this campground!

      Davy Crockett Campground

      Too expensive for a night

      This looks like a nice campground, but I just needed to sleep. I asked for the least expensive site and was told $70. The WiFi didn't even work. Under new ownership and was told it would be getting better. They claim to be the friendliest dog RV Park in America, but they don't even have a dog park so I don't know why they think they're the best.

      Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

      Nice campground.

      Level paved spot, partial shade (site 140), quiet, sites not too close together, cooler evenings than LA (lower AL). Nice staff. Not crowded.

      Bean Pot Campground

      Good campground

      Campsites are close together. We were only there 1 night. It was peaceful and quiet. All sites are gravel with fire ring and picnic table. They have some sites FHU, some water & electric, and primitive sites. A nice pool is on site. Looked like a nice playground and dog areas.

      Ballyhoo Family Campground

      Rude money hungry owners

      I was a visitor to this park. Doris has zero interest in being friendly or welcoming. The only signage that reads, you must visit their dirty little office and register, is what you see in the photos posted, partially hidden by tree branches as you approach. It was my third visit before I actually saw it and that’s only because it was pointed out by the person I was visiting. And they don’t care if you give them your info, doesn’t even ask,  just demands your $5. After the owner Doris  read a Google review left by another person  that was treated poorly by her, she assumed it was left by me for spite and kicked my friend that stayed there out.  Had she bothered to actually take my info instead of my money she would have realized I wasn’t the one that left her a bad review, but another visitor leaving an unsatisfactory review perpetuated by her rudeness.. if you value your peace and want your visitors to feel welcome, please choose another place to give your hard earned money to.

      Lake Cumberland State Resort Park

      Great campground for water ventures

      The campground was nice and quiet, hardly any people especially on the 4th of July holiday weekend. Campground bathrooms were clean.

      Corbin - Laurel Lake KOA

      Creepy

      This was the creepiest place I have ever stayed. I had all kinds of strange vibes from it. Maybe because it was raining. I don’t know. The guy who worked there was super nice. I won’t be back though.
