Had a room, this past weekend, with a couple of issues reported and no remedy to any of the issues. TVs didn't work. HVAC return filter was disgusting. Condo was listed as "sleeps 4 with pullout couch". Negative. No pull out couch was there. Also, when seeking food at the dock, the management of the restaurant was absolutely horrible. The staff will ignore you and you will stand and wait to be seated 10-15 mins because nobody wants to seat you or even speak to you. We sat ourselves, then got lectured by the manager as to why you don't do that even after stating that we had not seen a hostess or server come around. After waiting for over an hour after ordering pizza, they tell us they are out of pizzas....when asked "we are hungry so now what?" the server shrugged his shoulders and walked off. We will not be back here and will heavily encourage any of our family/friends to stay away from this marina. It has majorly fallen downhill since Safe Harbor has taken ownership.

This is our first time to Lake Cumberland State Resort Park. The people at the Front Desk are very…read morenice. First, we had a campground reservation. Hubby went to change the oil in our truck and there was oil in the coolant. It was not drivable. After speaking with multiple people including the park manager, we were not allowed to simply switch our reservations from the campground to the lodge. They are two separate entities. Keep this in mind when booking. When I called to book at the lodge, I asked about fridge and microwave and was told they rooms don't have them. Check in went well. When we arrived at our room, there was a minimal number of lights. It was quite dark. One lamp between the two queens. No floor lamp. The screen door to the balcony was busted. I called the front desk and we were moved to another room for $40 more. The elevator was gross. I used my fingernail to see if the rust-like stuff would come off and it was easily removable. The entire trip I was tempted to get a Brillo pad! The new room had a fridge and wasn't missing lights. The next thing we discovered was that there was no daily housekeeping. Supposedly this was because of COVID. There isn't fear of catching COVID but here in KY people simply stopped working during COVID and they didn't return to the workforce after COVID. Towels, coffees, etc. were available two buildings over at check-in lobby. The next crazy thing about the lodge is there is minimal food! There was a breakfast buffet and a dinner buffet, but no diner and only take out for lunch. The nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles so bring whatever you need to eat, plus utensils! The breakfast buffet was good. Service was good. Again, nice people. It was a small breakfast buffet but adequate. No fruit, cold cereal, muffins, omelets, veggies... but the basics were available for $15. The pool and hot tub were good temps. Clean. Lots of kiddos from the campground on the rainy day. Speaking of the campground, the outdoor pool was supposed to open before the holiday, but they were only interviewing lifeguards that Friday to start after Memorial Day weekend. Poor planning? Here is a very odd thing. On the rainy day, our lodge/camper group wanted to play games. We went to the activity room. There were two nice game tables but there were no chairs!! So we went to the area off the lobby to play cards. We were the only ones in the area by the fireplace and the ceiling fan was on. The front desk figured out how to shut if off, but the AC vents were blasting cold air out. We tried moving the table and chairs but air was blowing everywhere. We played a couple rounds but we were freezing! We asked the front desk if the temps could be adjusted to make it warmer or just shut the system off. It was only 50 outside, rainy and cloudy. We were told the temperature inside the lobby area was electronically controlled by "the state"!! Very very interesting that a State Park which should have some environmental conscience wouldn't allow staff to adjust indoor air temps based on outdoor temperatures. Doesn't seem like a way to conserve. Lastly because of the baby, the kids brought the golf cart to the campground. It's street legal, licensed, insured, etc and they paid $25 to have it with them. Some lodge guy told the kids that the park ranger would ticket them for using the between the campground and lodge. Nice to know after the fact. We watched the baby while the kids had a date night at the State Dock restaurant. One of the cooks had quit that day. The 45 min wait time was an hour and a half, the food was bad. My son-in-law had diarrhea starting that evening and throughout the next day! Nobody else thankfully caught it, so probably something with the food. All in all, the park has so much potential, but Kentucky seems to struggle for average. We rented a pontoon on our last day, and the rental at State Dock went smoothly. Unless you have a boat, I recommend visiting Dale Hollow.

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.

I prefer this side of the lake anyway so you don't have a ton of options but for what you pay, improvements should be made. They redid the dock story last year after new ownership and that's about it. The steps to the parking lot are over grown with weeds and unusable, and the overnight boat slips are always filled with trash, nothing to tie up to, and half of the slips are unusable. I won't stop coming here, but this place has a lot of work to do.

Restaurant review, not the marina…read more We went to Mitchell Creek Restaurant to visit some friends who had just bought a houseboat. We showed up a full hour before their posted closing time, only to be told the restaurant was "on a break." Five minutes later, that story changed now they were suddenly "closing early because they ran out of food." Honestly, that sounded like a lazy excuse. It felt like the staff just didn't want to work. The worst part? The marina had actually hired a band to play that night, but all the customers left because the restaurant basically shut down. Completely ridiculous. This was hands down one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. There are far better places around Dale Hollow Lake, and we definitely won't be back. We usually try to give new places a fair shot, but this one blew it completely.
