Rockcastle Riverside Primitive Camp
The first time here. The land is situated along the high banks of the Rockcastle River. Very serene and picturesque land.
I was fortunate to go when it was not very busy with campers. Enjoyed several walks along different trails and the beach of the river. At night enjoyed the songs of frogs, hoots of the Great Horned owl, and howls of Coyotes!! I slept outside of my tent both nights. Was a very peaceful time, and the full moon to boot!

Camping on the river!
What a beautiful spot with amazing host. We were coming in at 5am after being on the road for 8 hours. We made the reservation that night late and they were very accommodating. Thank you Jessica!!

It was definitely secluded and for the most part peaceful. My only real complaint is that I could barely make out the gravel parking pad due to the overgrown grass and high weeds around the fire pit. Someone did come around on SATURDAY to weed eat around the fire pits and around camp. I am assuming that it wasn't peak season for them yet so they were kinda lax on the grass. The bathroom and shower was nice, big and clean, and the nature hike to the waterfall was super. "River" the camp dog was very friendly and a great companion at camp. Overall the weekend was great, my only set back was the upkeep of the grounds. sorry

My son and I went on a solo camping trip here and felt entirely safe. We received our firewood and it was a good amount. The facility has a nice bathroom and shower. The river is absolutely beautiful!

The rv area with hook ups were very organized and right near the river. The area to camp was vast and with as much variety as you could think. Some areas more organized with fire rings and picnic tables others just cleared and level. The pavilion was a cool place with bathrooms and stage for performances. The pavilion is a large feature and is seasonal and was not available the first of Feb., but bathroom access was our main needs for this trip and the Pavilion was not needed. The Pavilion was near the beach and water access for boats/kayaks ect.
My mother and I researched this place on an emergent back up plan from our deep woods backpacking trip. The info found was easy and correct. John the host was perhaps surprised by 2 ladies car camping the first week of Feb. but his accommodations were spot on, gracious even putting a small heater in the bathroom so it wasn't cold. The shower was very nice and water hot! Just what 2 ladies want after a day playing in the cold wet mud!
Firewood was available for purchase which was delivered my a tractor bucket full and Host then let us know that the near by downed tree was also good dry wood and available to us for free if we wanted.
This place has amenities, access and comforts as much as one would need. Can also be private, primitive and isolated as one would want as well. The river was beautiful, the full moon bright and the wild animal calls clear. A space for everyone!

While the campground is in a very picturesque and quiet location there were very few picnic tables and fire ring at the sites. Fortunately we were camping in our camper, so we did have a table.

Beautiful and quiet (music venues had ended). We had lots of privacy and space right next to the beautiful river.
Loved waking up to songbirds.
Nice hot outdoor showers.
Peace!

Ideal river side camping!
Beautiful property with lots of camping spots near the river. I camped just days after Moonshiners ball and what a great venue spot! The road to get to this place is partially dirt and seems like it’s not actually a real road, and I almost turned around, but just keep going and there is a beautiful labeled entryway. Also a great little general store cabin right when you pull in. Would definitely camp here again!

We actually found this spot on accident! Perfect place to relax and spend a couple of nights. Everyone is so friendly and we truly felt welcomed. The land is beautiful! Great accommodations, including picnic table, real toilets and a hot shower! So happy to have found this spot. If it weren't so far from our home in So Cal, we would be back often!

Beautiful area to camp 🏕 campground is very simple, but nice if you are looking for nature. Only one bathroom and shower that are not close to sites so you may want to bring a portable one if in a ⛺️ tent. John is a nice host. They have a small store with ice. The river is low now but still pretty. I would recommend if looking for peace serene area.

We enjoyed our first time staying at Rockcastle Riverside. It was pretty quiet but were only a couple other campers there during our stay. Spots were pretty spacious. The only complaint I have would be about pets. All the dogs that were there during our stay were well behaved but I never seen anyone clean up after their dogs so you had to watch your step. Maybe a pooper scooper policy needs put in place! Other than that, all was well! We will be back again!

Nice campsites.
In general, the campsites were nice. Unfortunately, the riverbank was pretty overgrown in most places. No easy access to the water. The fire pits were really at a distance from the camper. My wife and I love dogs, but the loose dogs in the campground urinated on our camping equipment and got into our bagged garbage that i was getting ready to carry off.
