One of the dump stations has been out of order the last several times we have been. They have also changed the check out time to 12pm instead of 3pm, causing a backup at the one working station.

Its a very nice campground, wish the annex had more sites. And a dollar store close by would be a plus!! Lol

Kendall is one of our favorite campgrounds in this area. There is plenty of room in between each camper. You are not right next to each other. It is pretty quiet, and we enjoy watching the wildlife.

Took my dad here for a fishing trip. He (we) had a blast. He wants to come back in the spring for a week.

The bathrooms are not maintained and things are broken in everyone of them. There is only one dump station working. There is no do not enter sign for one loop and people are driving in the wrong direction and also going too fast. Someone got hurt during our stay trying to get out of the way.

Campground was great! Neighbors were a little loud but tolerable. We enjoyed the trails and ability to walk to Big Daddys for treats and to the trout stream. AT&T service was terrible. This site does not have much space if you have dogs and need green space.

Dont like the new check out time. We had to pay for an additional day because we make 2 trips so our mom can camp. Also there were no 4th of July activities for children anymore. Also some of the electric boxes need updating.

As usual nearly everything is great at Kendall (older sites I.e. not Annex-did not stay there, cant comment) campground. The bath houses are fair, but work needs to be done on the showers. They are either scalding hot or sometimes near freezing, with the comment from an annex camper that the shower there had two settings, hit and hotter!
@JoeH9727393 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #33
Well maintained. Plenty to do. Camp, bike, fish, swim, hike. Very relaxing environment.

@ChesleyN7C70E9 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #76

@KentB4829114 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #105
The little food shack was good
@TammyS4240620 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #58
The last 2 times we have went one of the dump stations is closed so the wait to get out and dump is a long wait . Also the checkout time changing to 12 instead of 3 is very inconvenient
@WilliamAE0769F · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #26
Lots of shade.
@JimL6543354 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #118
Best camping and recreation area on the Cumberland
@DanaS361E059C9 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #110
Always enjoy our stay at Kendal. Do t like how have to book so far in advance. Hard to get weekend spots.
@PaulaK7311297 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #34
All of the staff working at Kendall Campground were very polite and friendly. My family enjoyed our stay at Kendall Campground. The grand-kids enjoyed fishing in the stream, playing on the Splash pad, and eating the delicious ice cream that is sold there. This was our 2nd year to spend a week at the Campgrounds. We are planning on returning next year.

Great quiet place very hard to get a site.
@MarkB1441206 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #76
Always a great time when we are at Kendall. Love the peaceful wooded area to walk the dog and kick back. Would love for WiFi service to be available other than only right beside the main bathhouse since internet service is so slow and spotty down below the dam.
@KennieD8A3FE5E · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #16
over all good. shower was too hot. very little cold water. no hand soap. rain water was standing in lot, soaked rugs for hours. It was nice that there was free laundry. Don't like the fact that you have so many of the best lots, considered "emergency lots".
@TerryS6065626 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #97
We always enjoy Kendall Campground. It is a beautiful and peaceful area.

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
