"I would stay away from the pull through sites by the bathroom if You prefer privacy."

". 2nd the layout is more tent friendly (to me) with walk in sites with some nice views."
"It was okay, but not good for anyone who cannot handle a lot of stairs. 2) There was a lot of boat traffic on the lake, even late into the night."
TravelerSolid location for a night or a whole weekend. There are several porta potties available and the sites are spacious. This camp is perfect for the fam as it can accommodate RV sized vehicles. Only word of caution is that the ground can get a bit muddy, so try to find something dry.
TravelerWe had a great time at this location in 2015. Campsites were very roomy graveled leveled spots. I have a trout fishery on the property it is a civil engineer campground right below the dam. You can fish the river or you can fish the stream they put in where they release the trout to get into the river better have your fishing license though.
ScoutStaff was great! Fellow campers could have been better people. Way to many KAREN'S. We have 4 dogs. We did everything possible to keep them quiet. Including buying muzzles. We worked with the rangers and staff to get the furtherest away from people. Because of barking. The closest people was a block away. The other campers complained!! Maybe the complaining people should have bought ear plugs!! We did everything possible in concirsation of other campers. The night ranger was not friendly at all. 10 pm he pulled up to tell us to make sure we keep our dogs quiet and to keep the fire down. At that time 10pm everyone was in bed. No one had a fire the whole 6 days we were here. It was like building a fire was illegal. That's how the ranger made me feel about a fire in the fire pit.
TravelerMy son and I have been twice. The first trip was marred by car issues, but the second trip, we were able to actually camp in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
We parked at the Twin Arches Loop National Recreation Trail head, then made our way down into the valley to view the two gorgeous and huge arches there.
As the sun was setting, we found a good place to set up our hammock gear a little ways off of the trail, then we fixed our supper at a nearby over hang, and finally snuggled in for a wonderfully cold night (late march). There was ice on the trees in the shade of some of the overhangs.
It is a nice hike, plenty of interesting areas to set up camp. Fair warning, some of the "stairs" down into the canyon are steep so be prepared.
Make sure you have your permit with you while camping and have a wonderful time in this beautiful valley.
TravelerOnly stopped for an overnight, so didn’t explore very much, but this is a very nice campground with large sites, hookups, a playground and friendly staff that’s still at work (6:30 pm as i write this).
ScoutCumberland Mtn. S.P. is a beautiful park, all interactions with staff were friendly and pleasent. Be advised that if you arrive after 4pm as per checking time posted on the website, the office will be closed. Talking to the wonderful staff I found that numerous requests have been made to have the site updated but has not happened. Also, our opinion was that many of the facilities could use a little love, the bathhouses are dated and in desperate need of renovation, and during our stay were void of any cleaning. Even the presence of spider webs and eggs around the windows spoke of neglect in proper cleaning. The park does offer wifi for those wanting to stay connected however for us it would continually go off line and have to wrestle with reconnecting and signing in. Overall it is a very nice park, just in need of cleaning and a little TLC.
ScoutGood place to camp parking is a little difficult, especially if it’s raining a bunch as the ground is very soft. Luckily we have 4 x 4 so that didn’t deter us too much but our campsite wasn’t level. We were only there tonight so it wasn’t a huge deal. The camp host was amazing and very helpful. We would definitely stay again.
GuideThis site worked out perfectly. Rock Island has some nice trails and wonderful falls in the area. The site was great with everything out back. Peaceful site.
TravelerGood state park. Beautiful area and spacious sites. Will come again
