2 nights at Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

⸻ Absolutely loved our stay here! The campsite is set in a beautiful, scenic riverside area—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The bathrooms were impressively clean and well-maintained, which made a big difference. Our host was fantastic—super welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

We arrived in Friday not knowing what to expect but was surprised when we seen the land and the room! We stayed on site 2 had plenty of room to turn around with a 38ft camper and park our truck sideways at the end. The restrooms are close by but please watch your step of a morning they are slick.

The birdsong cabin is adorable, comfortable, and clean with many small amenities that made staying there a pleasant experience. This is a glamping cabin with the bathroom just out back with a shower, sink, and toilet that was kept clean. The cabin was surprisingly private as we sat on the porch, which has 4 chairs, and watched the birds at the feeder and peeked at the river through the trees. There is a fire ring and picnic table and they supplied the first bundle of fire wood. The bed comes with linen and was comfortable. The cabin has AC and a heater. There was a microwave, coffee, coffee cups, a couple plates, paper towels, sling chairs, S&P, and some other extras. We watched Netflix at night on the smart TV and we had WIFI. I use Verizon and had a couple bars of reception. Host Amber was extremely friendly and helpful with quick responses to our questions. Things I would recommend bringing: paper plates, utensils, a water jug (there's a water spicket just outside), some dish soap and towel. We would readily stay here again!

We only spent one night down by the river, but given the chance we'll definitely plan to stay again.

The camp sight we chose was right on the water and we had an amazing view. We also chose to do the cow experience which was very fun and informative.

Great spot by the river! Had a good stay!

1 night at Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

The bathhouse was wonderful to have, with hot water and clean facility. The site was easy to navigate to, and our campsite was fully ready for us upon arrival, with a picnic table and fire wood. Beautiful location and lots of farm animals to be around made this a nice spot as well!

The cabin is on land right next to the Cumberland River. There is a long beach front that we drove down to it was absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed our time!

1 night at Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

A lovely little family-owned campground situated on the Cumberland River. There is a driveway down to the river that makes for a nice walk. Amber was an excellent hostess. She was quick to respond to my messages. And, as a bonus, she is a pet groomer and squeezed my dog in for a nail trim. I definitely recommend this spot.

Quiet location along the Cumberland river. Amber was a great host who communicated very well. I was suprised when she sent me a link to keep track of the river levels because they had had alot of rain prior to my trip. ( I had planned on looking for it online, but she beat me to it.) I will camp here agian.

Weekend Trip to Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

Everything was great except I paid for two bundles ($20) each) and never received. I am hoping that it was taken off my bill. The host provided a free bundle in which I never used but still never received my other two bundles. Cabin was clean and the bathroom/shower was great and warm.

Weekend Trip to Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

This campground was a lovely weekend experience! The site was beautiful, peaceful, and well kept. We had no issues to mention and would recommend this site for the river scenery and proximity to Cumberland Falls. The porta potty on site was also very clean and a pleasant surprise!

Weekend Trip to Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

Amber was a great host! She was quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to our trip, we added the fresh eggs and the bundle of wood for our trip and definitely worth it! There were a few other campers there but we didn’t have any issues with noise level or privacy. The shower/flushable toilet facility was so clean, the water was nice and warm and worked great! The portapotty was also in great condition! No issues with smell, plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer too, probably one of the best/well kept ones I’ve ever used. We really enjoyed our time here, the weather was perfect, it was very calm and peaceful. The river was right next to us and if it had been warmer I’m sure would have been great to go out in and enjoy as well.

Weekend Trip to Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

Had such a fun and relaxing weekend here! The spot by the river was beautiful and had some amazing sunsets and sunrises. The bathrooms were a little bit of a hike from the camping spot but it was nice to have a porta potty close by. Overall, Amber was a great host and we would definitely come here again!

We absolutely loved our time at this beautiful and peaceful place! Very secluded and restful. Also they have delicious farm fresh eggs, and they were huge! Thank you so much Amber.
