great views and flat sites - very tight for pulling trailers. Dump site is almost impossible to access

Very peaceful. A good couples getaway.

The signage for the facility was not clear. If you google the address of the facility it will bring you to a very nice but still a neighborhood. You would have to pass the neighborhood and continue down the road. The next sign you will see will tell you the road ends at water! It does not! When you arrive the camp host just points at your parking ticket and provides no further instructions. The dump station only allows you to go up dumping from the right side of your camper. If your back tank is on the left you will need a longer hose. The campground itself is nice but for someone whos never been it was a bit frustrating.

One of my favorite COE parks. It sets high up on the side of a hill looking down over Lake Cumberland. Most of the sites have excellent views of the lake, and it's small enough that it stays relatively quiet. The only downside is that the dump station sets on a fairly steep hill. If dumping there, it's better to use a portable tank at your site and tow it up. Campground is within a mile of Burnside and Somerset.

Nice campground although a bit tight on some of the spots. Mine was 15 and is a backin site which is uphill and a turn going up. I can see where some would have a problem. Also the dump station is very inconvenient to use. You have to go out to the entrance and make a U-turn to make the steep uphill pull to the dump. When you get there your rig is pointing downhill to dump. Without those issues I would have given a 5.

BEAUTIFUL campground! A little difficult to maneuver because its tight quarters, but the COE has done a great job with the sites. Ours was right on the water and was large and very well maintained. The dump station is up by the restrooms so we had to go out the gate and back in to get to it ...not a big deal, though. Totally would stay there again.

Very clean and quiet

Wonderful camp site; the volunteers are friendly and great people!
@DougieJ149E416 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #4
Was not what we expected. Sites were really small and very narrow roads inside the campground. Dump station was nearly inaccessible once inside the campground, without having to go all the way back out, dump, go all the way back to the end of the campground and back again due to not having the necessary room to turn around or back into the campsite except from one direction.

DUMP STATION IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ACESS.

One way traffic is difficult but nice area and great host

Overall my stay was very good. I was in campsite 8; which was fully shaded and had a great view of the lake. The accommodations were in good condition. Steve, the campsite manager, did a great job. He answered all questions and made several daily trips throughout the campsite to check on campers and if you had any needs. The only down side was the dump station. It is located on top of a hill with a very steep incline. The station looked as if it had not been used. Other campers as well as myself did not use it either. The turn down the hill from the dump station is very tight and difficult. I have a 34 foot trailer and I would not have been able to make it safely by myself nor with additional help. With this being said, I would still recommend this campsite for a great camping trip. Respectfully, David Ashley.

This is not the place for senior citizens. I had to climb steps to get to my campsite as well as drive my car up a steep hill to use the restroom. I have since decided to rent a handicapped campsite, despite not actually needing one, to make sure this doesn't happen again. I found this stay disappointing.
@RaymondR691857 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #14
In the hot summer there is very little shade on sites 2,3 and 4 but it is still a beautiful campground.
@JackieC1028353 · Camped on Jun 20, 2025 at Campsite #2
Love the aera, easy boat ramp access and the workers there were extremely nice but campsite had no shade.
@JasonM3591902 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #4
The grounds were well kept and bathhouse was well kept and clean. My only complaint it the lack of trees along the lower campsites. I like to sleep in a hammock and had nowhere to tie up my hammock. Not much can be done to change that in the short term though.
@DianaZ5877210 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #21
The view was good, but there was no where to hike or fish unless you have a boat. Bathroom was clean and there was also a laundry unit for anyone who wanted to use it.
@AndrewG6411791 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #11
Smaller campground (only about 2 dozen spots), but can't beat the location as it's right on the water. They could definitely put a little money into it and spruce up the bath/shower house. They are dated and a bit rundown. I would and still come back.
@RichardP563677 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #1
Nice quiet little Campground...But the Dump Station is Horrible! It's up on top of a Hill with the Bath house and you can only go into the Dump Station when you are entering the Campground! So that means when you depart and want to dump...You have to exit the Campground to a turn around spot and come back in to dump! And then when your at the Dump Station your Camper or Coach is going down hill while dumping.. So there is no way your getting your tanks emptied when everything runs to the front!
@ShawnI4257359 · Camped on Oct 10, 2024 at Campsite #13
Good campground no democrats camped around us it was a peaceful experience. Thank you Army Corps Of Engineers.
@JerryG8943024 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #22
Very steep inclines, sign upon entering, road ends in water, ignore, & NO sign pointing out you need to go up hill to right at the Y. Nobody manning gate, & was not aware of a packet host told me days later was there. Do not go on back on left road if you have 40'+ RV - we did & took 45 mins to get turned around & out.
@LouanneH07BBDC · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #9G
We Love Waitsboro! One of our favorite campgrounds!
@JefferyA8E4D7E · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #15
Our site was very steep to back into but once settled in we had a wonderful view of the water. It was peaceful. The dump station is in an very inconvenient location in the campground and on a slant, not sure how anyone could fully empty their tank. But I'm sure folks have been doing it for years.
@DonaldHD3EDBB6 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #7
Beautiful quiet spots. Stayed in spot 7. Had a great view of the lake. It was tight in a few places with a 38ft TT. Very nice boat ramp with paid parking.
@SusanW3089432 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #1
The gentleman that checked us in was very nice. The park was great. Will be back.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
