Our stay was amazing!! We will definitely be returning. The staff was amazing! I thought the tent area was going to be small. It wasn’t!! It was huge! The area was clean and the fire pit was clean as well.

we really love staying there, just wish the tent sites had gravel. It rain a lot and got a little muddy.

The campground and facilities were very nice. Would not recommend staying in a tent though, it was very hot. The residential and permanent residents do not seem to have a nighttime noise ordinance.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We were experiencing an unusual June heat wave. As an alternative we do have Kamping Kabins which are like hard shell tents with bed sand AC. We do our best to enforce KOA's 10pm quiet time.

We got there later than expected. Our info was on the door. It was interesting setting our tents up in the dark! Especially since 1 of the tents was new and we weren't sure how to stabilize it. This is the most wilderness like KoA Ive been to. The cicadas sang all night, along with other creatures. I felt safe the entire time.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are surrounded by lots trees and the lake so the cicadas were plentiful here. Their mating cycle has will be completed by the first of June and we will return to the sounds of frogs and crickets!

Staff was very accommodating. Quite a hike on a gravely slippery hill to get to the one and only bathroom. Campsite was clean and grassy and nice. We were tent camping.

Tried to cancel within the 48 hr mark and the phone number had “busy” signal every time I called. So I was charged for my stay that I wasn’t able to do because of your phone issue.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am sorry you were unable to cancel during the required time frame. We have had no issues with our phone line that we are aware of and we also have an email that campers use for communication with us. In addition we tried to contact you on the day of your expected arrival but received no answer.

John the owner was fantastic! The pool was a perfect temp everything was wonderful after a 7 day trek down the east coast staying at several other KOAs along the way, Russell Springs was a beautiful ending to our trip. My kids loved it here and we absolutely will be making a return trip in the years to come!

E everything was perfect from campsite to the parking for boats to the warm and friendly employees
Jul 25, 2023
I mean I love it there! We had an amazingly good time there. The only thing that I can say that’s really a bad thing but some tent campers hardly can’t use the Wi-Fi at night if they wanted to watch a movie with the family.. maybe could check and see about putting some hotspots through out the camp ground so everyone can use it.. just a thought! Thank you!

Wonderful staff
Sep 06, 2022
Now I'm very clear on what southern hospitality is. From the minute I walked in, I was greeted by the staff w/a big smile and small talk as if we have known one another for years. A employee(Jason) is a gentleman I will not soon forget, the time he spent driving me around the property to show me options for my tent was over n beyond, he again drove past after setting up to check on me. Thank you

We stayed in the smaller primitive tent camping area for the holiday weekend & had the area to ourselves most the weekend. Its a family friendly, peaceful campground with nice employees that do frequent checks of the premises & keep the grounds clean. The pool, bathrooms/showers & play area are a bit older but have been well maintained & are kept stocked & clean! Boat parking & only a mile to dock

Very helpful staff! They even helped me set up for a job interview I had to do while staying there. The bathrooms were super clean and the atmosphere was quiet and laid back.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Clean bathrooms are the hallmark of the KOA brand and we work hard to ensure we meet this expectation. Glad we could help with the job interview and hope it went well.

Location was nice and relevant to the lake. Staff very friendly. I would recommend updating electrical outlets on the tents site, some are corroded or infested with nests. Other than that, it was a nice stay

Very friendly staff!!

There were alot of open places we could hav gone and the place we ended up was sub standard w a pop up. The first night I took a shower and did not drain. I was standing in water and who knows what else upnto my ankles. The wifi was a joke. Will not go again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry you did not find your site acceptable. Had we have known you were unhappy, we would have gladly let you pick another site.

Staff was accommodating and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and inviting. My campsite was comfortable and a reasonable distance from the bathrooms and showers. I stayed for one night. But would not have been opposed to staying another if circumstances would've allowed.

This campground is a great place to stay. It's super close to two boat ramps. Only a short hour drive to Cumberland Falls Park. But what really makes this place great are the people who run it. The owner personally stopped by our campsite and went over the map of the area. Showed us the best places to visit, the best restaurants, and more. He must have spent 20 minutes at the picnic table with us. Super friendly staff!

We love the location and the campground, love that it's family owned. But possibly they could use some of the earnings to slide a bit of comfort in!! If you have a disability or “bad back”, fair warning you'll need to take something to sit on even in the “delux” cabins. The front cabin has a loveseat that pulls out. Not sure of the comfort when it was pulled out but to sit on it was horrid. Cushions ripped and taped are a bit ridiculous since it costs so much more to stay there. I fear my dear friend from out of town will not be back because there was just no way to really find even a few minutes of comfort with only 3 of us there. The shower ran out of hot water before I could even wash. Again we love the place, but some comfort is a necessity when doing that type of traveling and only so many people can squeeze in one bed. So maybe decent furniture, maybe spring for a recliner. We will hopefully be back. But matching comfort with price would be great. I recommended the place and now I feel bad because it was 2 full days and nights formal her with no way to really sit and relax, only sit. I'm always uncomfortable so until I seen someone else so uncomfortable from my recommendation did I realize. Diana, if you read this I'm sorry! I did not know what that particular cabin was like…now I know. I'll be back, but lol not for comfort.
