    Can't reserve spots. It's a first come first serve. No need to stop in the office. Drive around,…read morepick a spot and Paul will come around and check you in. Good luck finding a halfway level spot. We were lucky and it wasn't busy so we got a nice wide spot near the bathrooms and showers and laundry. In the main area. ( full hookup by office) there is no sewer connections and no cable. Could only get 3 off channels. We are here "off season" and the restaurant doesn't open until May 2. It's quite a walk down the pier to the store and restaurant. There are cabins on other side of marina from Rv sites. Plenty of ramps to put boat in water. There is not a lot of signage where to go so got to ask many questions instead of someone explaining things to you. Prices are cheap right now. Average of $29 per night.

    With several campground options in the Lake Cumberland area, I think I found my favorite…read more Initially, I had planned on staying at Falls Creek Camp Ground which was just a few miles up the road, but after I discovered Conley Bottom was almost the same rate AND CB has full hookups, I made a last minute route here. When we pulled in, it was about to storm and almost dark. We were greeted at the store which was apparently closed. The gentleman explained that he would just come by in the morning to collect the due. He also said that there isn't any pre-booking available, everything is walk up only. Right now the rate in the first RV area is $24 per night. The rate increases for the season on 5/20/17. The second area RV section doesn't include sewer hook ups and is $4 cheaper. The second area is where the playground and dock access that leads to the marina is and seemed to currently be more popular than the first area. The views from both sections overlook the marina and beautifully picturesque. They have several large, pull through sites. We stayed in site L which was the closest one to the lake. None of the sites have lake access, but the marina is within a few minutes walk. A very important and possible deal breaker for anyone concerned about the drive there is that it is a narrow road and if you're heading in late when the boats are headed home, they take up most of the road and you practically have to pull off to allow them to pass.

This is the vacation spot for a family or a few friends . I only wish it was like years ago and no reservation is required, just drive in and pay for a spot . I can't say enough about this area, showers are clean and I can't wait to get back there

    This was the second time that I've visited Holly Bay campground. It's located in Daniel Boone…read moreNational Forest and on Laurel Lake and just a few miles from Cumberland Falls. It's my favorite campground when I'm looking for seclusion. It seems like you're hours from the city, but it's just about an hour and a half from Lexington and 20 minutes or so from the interstate. The Grove is it's sister property, so if there isn't spots available here, there may be some at The Grove. Loops D & H are available via reservation, the other loops are walk up. This time we stayed in loop G area... G2 was our site and through the trees, you could see the lake. The paved pad was long and then there were steps that led to the huge graveled fire pit area. Perfect for tent camping. It wasn't considered a premium or double site, but compared to state resort park sites, it was at least twice as big. The shower house was decent. The water cold and the fact that the water on the shower was controlled by a button that you had to push every 30 seconds, was a bit annoying. I was thankful for hand soap and toilet paper though. The lady at check-in was a hot mess. She kept answering her cell phone and the landline phone instead of waiting on us. She didn't know which sites were lake side and wouldn't let us pay, look to choose a site, drop off and come back. She made us tow the camper down the narrow paths, choose a spot and then come back to pay with the camper in tow. Then it took her at least 10 minutes to write up the ticket, etc. After a 45 minute fiasco, we finally set up in the dark. Lesson learned... Remember what site # that you want, if you've not been there, study the map before you go. Things to consider are if you want to be by the lake, the shower house, or away from other sites. It's an American Land and Leisure run campground. I can't really figure out the ins and outs of the structurally run campgrounds... I've stayed at the Cor of Engineer, state park and KOA campgrounds. The American Land and Leisure campgrounds and sites seem to be the biggest and the most inexpensive.

    I actually attended a conference here and always camp since the rate is cheap for tent camping!…read moreIt's not a bad area but as far as tent camping goes, it's pretty basic. Some water, no electricity (used to and now it's been removed), and pretty dinghy bathrooms/showers. Can't comment on the RV parks. I believe they have a pool which is new! If I weren't planning to go boating or on the water somehow, I'm not entirely sure that Lake Cumberland is where I'd choose first.

    This was my third Lake Cumberland campground experience and it was my least favorite. It rained a…read morelot during my Labor Day weekend trip, so I'll have to keep that bummer in mind and not be too harsh. There is a restaurant on site at the state park lodge, but it's not really walkable, especially when it's raining. Just throwing that out there. There is also a restaurant at the State Dock Marina, but that certainly isn't walkable or recommendable. So, I definitely recommend that you have plenty of groceries if you plan to camp here. Although it's fairly close to the water, I didn't notice water-front views from any of the sites. Certainly better views at other Lake Cumberland campgrounds. There are several loop options and we drove around to scope out possible walking routes. Nope. Not good road conditions. At one point one person said to us "be careful, it's rough down here". Yeah, we were in a 4 wheel drive truck. It was even way too steep and muddy for a truck. The site that we booked was way too narrow and impossible to back into due to the trees that were too close to the site. Luckily, two ladies on a golf cart stopped by as we were attempting to back in and they explained that there was another, more accessible site available. It must've been our lucky weekend because when we booked that was the last site available on Reserve America. So either someone canceled, or they block off sites only available via walk up. The wooden decks were nice and rare features for a state park.
