ScoutPeaceful and relaxing
We stayed and the primitive area almost to leatherwood boat ramp . So beautiful and perfect . Site was clean of trash and debris and ready for tents . Saw a few hikers and some beautiful horses from the trails nearby . Creek was clean and fun to explore .
RangerWorth the trip from 64
If you’re anything like me, taking 15 minutes to get off, the interstate can be worth it in terms of sleep. I was in late and out early, but there appeared to be trails and a small lake nearby. Campsites were spacious and back up to a small creek. very dark and quiet, super low traffic for a summer Friday night. Forest service camping at its best!

GuideSmall quaint campground
This is a nice little campground east of Cave Run Lake. I think it was $15-20 per night. First come first serve. Some cool spots next to the creek. Good hiking and the lake are a short drive away.
