By Lin, 02/04/09 We have been going to Craighead Forest Park since the year 2000. Always enjoyed the park. The problem is the rules are always changing. We were just there during the ice storm no power for 6 days which was fine until they brought the generator out for the camp host an then said, you can run a extension cord if you like here's a 14 gauge extension cord to run 100 foot which barely run the charger to charge our battery back. It was appreciated but should of done more for the paying customer. There was only two paying customers at the time. We tried to leave but they wouldn't remove the overhead branches so we could get out an then they barricaded an closed the park for public safety. We had to move the barricade to get our vehicle in an out finally after 6 days we were able to get our camper out. Moral of the story is when you enter the park an pay your fee the southern hospitality comes to an end. We will go back this spring its a relaxing park, an we have meet many travelers throughout the years, an we get to see them every spring an fall at Craighead Forest Park.

This is a great park. They just completed a new bathroom facility that is kept very clean and even has a laundry facility. The sites are pretty level but have a little age to them. There are several different options for trails and a nice like to fish in. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Beautiful lake, very hospitable camp, full-time hosts, brand new bathhouse with coin laundry machines, very nice trails, and my akita loved the dog jumping pier. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Convenient as it is right off the highway, although you can hear the buzz of the highway when outside your rig. Nice camp hosts. There are few shade spots but there is a forested area with a small pond that you can fish in but i cannot vouch for fish since i didnt try to catch any. Not all sites are 50 amp and not all sites are full hook-up. Great place to stop if you are passing thru and want to leave first thing in the morning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
