The campground was difficult to get into with a tight turn, steep drop and narrow bridge. We were unable to enter or leave the campground without blocking under the rear wheels of the motorhome (2002 34' Georgie Boy - Ford Chassis) to keep from dragging the rear. There is only one site that has 50 amp service, the rest are 15 amp. The campground is not maintained as shown in the pictures on the web site and the angles hide the commercial cable company that seems to be located in the campground with their work trucks and equipment. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The Middle Fork Campground is wonderful. We have never seen cleaner restrooms and the host was extremely helpful.It was fun hearing the stream bubble along during the night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed staying here. Our kids love the stream. They have dancing in the evenings down the road at Hoe Down Island. The audience gets to join in the dancing. Festive atmosphere. We will visit again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of two campgrounds here in Natural Bridge State Park, and this one, in my opinion, is the nicer of the two. Especially for larger travel trailers and RV's. Whittleton is the other campground and is great for tent camping or pop-up or small travel trailers (under 20'). This campground is nice and quiet, and right along the banks of Middle Fork creek. Hence the campgrounds name. There is limited cell phone reception in this area, just like the whole Red River Gorge area. No TV reception unless you have a satellite,and no Wi-Fi. Some of the camp sites are small and crowded. The host was very nice and drove around the campground quite often. Clean campgrounds, and bath houses. Some of the sites are paved, and others are gravel and all are pretty level. Firewood can be bought at the check-in station. Lots of hiking to be done here in the gorge and this camp ground is nice and quiet to relax in once you come back from a hard day hiking the different trails! Payphone and washing machine/dryer at the bath house, along with 2 soda vending machines. No campground store. We enjoy this part of Kentucky and plan on staying here quite a bit this summer. Already made reservations to head back this month! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had 5 tents and 2 pop-ups (13 adults, 9 kids, 5 dogs) on 3 sites (A23, 24, 25). It was great to have a primitive site next to our electric/water sites. Those sites are gravel and fairly level, shady, with a little creek for the kids to play in. We hiked from the Natural Bridge back to the campsite with kids in tow with no problem. It’s about 0.5 mile to the pool and 0.5 mi further to the top on the bridge. It’s an easy hike to the Whittleton arch (1.0 mile) from the back of the camp ground. Most importantly, everyone had hot water during showers. The bath house facilities are nice and well maintained. I wish there was some play ground equipment. We hit some fantastic weekend weather too. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed in the Whittleton campground. It is a small campground, fairly well maintained. Quiet. The campsites can get soft and mushy during the spring months. Paved pad for unit, but all back in spots and not much maneuver room to back camper/rig into spot. If you plan on using the dump station, you better have a portable tank, as the dumpstation is across the creek. The bridge going across the creek is very narrow and could be hard to pull any unit across without dropping off into the creek. Could be bad. Some of the sites in the lower portion of the campground are bare dirt and get really muddy in the spring. The gorge area is the highlight of any trip down here. We go once a year and enjoy it.

This is an older state park that has been updated somewhat to accomodate newer rigs. We had a pull through site and our 34' travel trailer barely fit. The motorhomes that were in the park completely filled the sites. The sites are paved with a small gravel patio area by each one. The sites are so close together that we had to situate our trailer so that the slider did not cover part of the adjacent site's patio area. Since the park is down in a "holler", you can expect to have no cellphone or television reception. Satellite TV will work fine as several units had dishes out. The sites have power and water but no sewer so plan accordingly. This park is fine for a short stay as long as you accept the limitations mentioned above. The Natural Bridge area is very pretty and there a several hiking trails available to the more energetic. We would camp there again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
A nice park, there are 2 campgrounds, Whittleton being the oldest in nicest. Whittleton has a creek through is. Well maintained, quiet. If you like hiking and rock formations, this is the place. Red River Gorge is a must nearby for driving and hiking. We camped here in a Motorhome.
