This location is convenient so we have stayed many times but things still need to be addressed. One is the reservation policy and how certain people are always given the best spots along the river so others have no chance of reserving them. Some of us cannot afford to book a site an extra 14 days just to try to get dates we want and know sites are held for certain people. The other is cleaning of the restrooms. While I do not know how to fix it, the floors are always wet with water and you have to step in it and sometimes get your clothes wet just trying to use the restroom. I have seen where people will put toilet paper down on the floor to dry it some but all that does is ball up into nasty globs of wet toilet paper that no one picks up. There was a lady that tried to clean well but I was told this time that she was no longer there. The worst part of our latest trip was the electricity hookup at the site. Part of this was due to us thinking it was our ac unit because it is a little older so we thought it could be going out but the lights were also going brighter and duller and flickering. There was a storm which knocked a tree down and took out the power which couldn't be helped but when it came back on we still had problems. The plug in was sort of sparking and we told the lady and she said she would let someone know but no one came. We wound up running our line to the campsite next to us to get power and found we had no more issues with our lights or air conditioning. Then one day in the early morning we heard two loud bangs and the power went out again. This time a truck came into the park and worked on a pole and the electricity came back on and a guy came by but didn't fix our hookup so it was still that way when we left. We had to use the electric from the site next door to us until we left. This is dangerous and could have caused a fire but no one cared. Looking for other places to stay now.

Nice family campground. Paved roads good for biking for older folks and kids. Stayed May 10 thru May 18, 2024; site 31. Site has a long back-in, but was easy, and quite level. Good WiFi and cell reception. Clean restrooms. Good view of marine traffic.

Great park and the attendants were great. 50 apm breaker would not work but was replaced fast.

First visit to Lock A. Park is very nice. We plan on returning. Only negative is the bathhouse needs a really good cleaning. River views of the Cumberland were excellent.
