There is a road sign on the way down the steep curvy road approaching this campground that reads "road ends in water" which made us laugh! Anyway, this Dept of Civil Engineers small campground is on beautiful Lake Cumberland. Almost every site has a view of the lake but I agree with others who have commented that it is not for large campers. The best sites are 1-4 as they are pretty easy to back into and have a 1st rate view of the lake. Whatever you do, do not book #17, it is practically impossible to back into. The gravel site is built into the hillside so when we were backing in, our camper was so tilted that it looked like it was going to tip over, scariest camper situation we have been in so far. Also, the upwards pitch to get up in here made the hitch and trailer foot stand bury into the gravel. At one point the back corner of the trailer was pushing into the gravel. The attendant told us that a camper had gone in the ditch last week (ditch is about a foot deep) and it cost him $3,500 to get it out. That doesn't include the damage done. Also, at this time of year (fall) the black walnuts are falling and they are fist sized hard balls that feel like they could damage your camper or tow vehicle. Another draw back for this particular site (17).We stayed here for 3 nights and did enjoy the peace and quiet and beauty while we were here.We drove to a campground 30 minutes away to dump because "the dump station here wasn't planned out with campers in mind. It's on top of a steep hill, with a very sharp approach that will scrap your tongue or trailer to turn left from our side of the campground. If you try from the other side your dump valves are on the wrong side and elevated, so you won't get a complete dump." Also, this is where the bathrooms are which is a very steep walk up the hill to get there. We noticed a lot of campers driving to the bathroom because of this. The bathrooms are not heated so at this time of year very chilly to shower.
