We stay here twice a year usually, and love this campground. Friendly rangers and campers, beautiful trails, beautiful views. It is a bit of a drive to stores, (Whitley City KY and Oneida TN), but there are two golf courses also. Love it! Decent cell reception.

Campsite was fine, everything worked as expected. Using the dump station for people using sites 1-6 requires going over 2-3 speed humps and going through the campground to turn around to enter the dump station properly. And why is it they constructed the dump station connection so high? Because most rv's rely on gravity to drain the tanks, the higher the tank is in relation to the connection the better! And slope the pavement so the tanks are tipped towards the drain! Other than that one-time experience, we really did have a nice time at Big South Fork NP.

In a remote, wooded area in southern KY. Some spots were a little tight. Shower house needs major updating.

Park Ranger was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Park was clean but our water spigot kept shutting off. It didn’t seem to be working right.
