So calming and a good place to sleep! We were just spending the night but would be a great place to spend a weekend. Sweet cats greet you, also ducks and chickens. Fridge, microwave, and coffee pot available. Enclosed bathroom with shower and toilet inside. Great little diner down the road! Just be advised there is no signal there or the surrounding area. The wifi works well for the TV but not great for cellphones.

We stayed at Papa's place cabin. It was simple but clean and the campground office space was nice to watch a show or make some food. We only stayed one night but it worked well for us! The cabin had one outlet for a light and a fan and a heater which was nice heating it up a little in October. 🙂

My friends and I had a great time at Cabin 3! The hosts were quick to respond to our inquiries, and the staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin can comfortably fit more than four people and still has plenty of space to move around. Both the indoor and outdoor bathrooms were clean. It’s the best place to relax, unwind, and enjoy good company. Highly recommend!

What a sweet little spot! The mattress was super comfy! We stayed in Papa’s and loved that there was a small fan as we love sleeping with white noise. Shower got hot and was just fine for fall traveling - I’m not sure how cold winters get, but weather was ideal so the open air bathroom was no issue. The community center was cute and convenient for us to fill water bottles for our trip! Super sweet lady that greeted us too! Would’ve absolutely stayed longer if we weren’t just passing through!

If you’re wondering whether you should book or not, just do it! Ray’s was everything I needed and more for my three-night trip visiting NRG. I stayed in the Kentucky cabin which had 2 bunk beds, larger bed (full or queen?), nightstand w/ light, extension cord, standup heater fan, ceiling light/fan and trash can. There was a porch with a picnic table and two additional wooden chairs. There is also a fire pit. In the common room (quick walk from the cabin) there’s a living room with TV, sofa, board games and more. There's a kitchen with a fridge/freezer, stove, oven, sink. There’s a large covered area off this common room that has a grill, tables and chairs. Next to this area is a small open shed that has ice $2 and firewood $6 or $7 if I recall. On the opposite side of the campground (still a quick walk from the cabins) theirs is a large outdoor utility sink and cabinet, and a washer/dryer that is $2/ea under an awning. I didn’t use them so I’m not sure how you pay. There’s a separate men’s & women’s restroom/shower. I believe there were 3 showers and 3 toilets in the women’s room. The showers had hot water and the utility sink was super convenient for washing dishes. I have AT&T and had 2 bars everywhere I went around the campground. After each day of hiking from AM to PM, the Kentucky cabin was an absolute oasis. Especially after ending a long roadtrip of camping in the rain!

Ray’s Campground provides great access to the National Park, and we loved the cabin that we stayed in- rustic, with a cute covered outdoor space, at a good price. The campsite itself was lovely, lots of shade, trees, and the staff were very helpful. We recommend a stay here.

Good layout, quiet, super close to Fayetteville and the sights of NRG! Shared spaces were clean and well lit. Cabin was small but comfortable. It was pretty humid but the ceiling fan helped! Would stay there again!

Just what we needed! The cabin was well stocked and tidy, and the owners were so friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were very clean and updated. Our group booked a tent site and a cabin. The kids swam in the pond all day! We kayaked and used paddle boards. The stream behind us was so peaceful and we even hung out and kept cool in it. The sites are well shaded so we weren’t too hot. There is a local general store within walking distance that has just about anything you forgot! We are hoping to come back next year.

Ray’s Campground has been by far the best camping experience I’ve ever had. The whole place was super clean, quiet, peaceful, and pet friendly exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone I met was so friendly and made the atmosphere feel really welcoming. The location couldn’t be better. It’s close to everything but still tucked away in a cozy, tucked-back spot that feels like a true escape. Whether you’re into exploring or just want to kick back and enjoy the outdoors, this place has you covered. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better spot. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great camping trip.

Ray's was great to me. I booked last minute and they accommodated my nighttime arrival. Staff was kind. I stayed in papa's place and my sheets just fit but not sure if they were queen or full, size up just in case! Didn't use bunk beds but love the option if I come back with friends or family. No fridge or microwave in room but great cabin and grounds.
