Natural Bridge Campground is Under New Management!
Take some time to orient yourself with our spacious red river camping experience and Red River Gorge weather. Bring your family on a walk and find out all the different locations that you can spend the day at while staying with us at Red River Gorge Campground. Spend the day exploring and come back and sit around the campfire. Make sure to bring some s’mores for the little ones to enjoy. Go around the circle telling scary stories or share old stories from your childhood with your family and friends.
Reservations are a 2 night minimum except for certain holiday weekends are a 3 night minimum.
Two registered cars per campsite. Guests will be required to park in the visitor lot.
Walk in reservations are available but rates are higher for walk ins.
All campers must register at the shelter before setting up the site. A car pass is required.
Pets must be on a leash at all times when outside (no running loose no matter the size of the dog). Dogs cannot be left unattended at the campsite unless they are secured in an air-conditioned RV. Please pick up after your pet and be courteous of other campers by controlling excessive barking.
Natural Bridge Campground, privately owned was acquired & now managed by Red River Gorge Vacations. This is a first for me to write a negative review regarding a camp experience &we've been camping for 8 years at least 5 months each year. The campground itself is very nice with mountains all around. Disappointed in mgmt with our check in. door to office mostly locked & she stood on the steps outside to talk to me when we checked in. Told her we were reserved at site "x" with a response was OK, go on over. Nothing else. No paper, explanation/info on wifi or restrooms or any info about grounds. There was trash in our firepit. Not once in the week we were there did we see anyone check on sites when campers left. One day I saw 2 guys "rake" 2 sites nearby as the gravel had deep ruts. Never did they try to rake along roadside where there were muddy ruts.
For us RVr's, plan on using your own restroom/ shower facilities! Tent campers-good luvk. Theirs are in 2 separate bldgs, Men's/ women's restroom all under one roof with no separation, yes doors on each of the few stalls. They were the dirtiest & smelliest I've ever witnessed. We were there for a week & I can tell you I'd rather used portholes or better just squat in the woods. The shower house floors felt like you were going to fall through the floor they were so soft. Shower curtains full of mold & the floor was a pink in color às sometimes a toilet bowl gets from water sitting too long. Both bldgs stunk so bad. It's such a shame because they are building beautiful cabins along the same side as these shower/restroom (very old bldgs) & should be putting some $$ into restroom/showers. There were alot of tent campers but even for a weekend & us leaving on weekday the trash cans full, toilets look like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. We were self contained but for a full week with only water/ elec sites, having a clean restroom would've been helpful. I sure hope they put money into their restrooms/ showers for guests. We drove thru the state park Middle Fork- it was much better & cheaper, tighter sites. We had 4 tents, young adults, next to us that also complained of bathrooms & their check in. they were supposed to have electric at both sites, only one box. They too were going to write review. Pictures are the restroom, hallway is the Men/Women combined restroom(s)
A pretty, quiet and simple camping park in a convenient and lovely spot. Very pet friendly. People seem very nice. Nice bathrooms/shower facilities for camping. They are continually improving the area with a camp store in the plans. Great place for little ones to learn to fish.
Stargazer cabin was perfect for 2 people and 2 large dogs. The campground was clean and had great open space. The cabin could could use hooks, shelves and towel racks . Storage was limited.
It's so peaceful and beautiful! The sell wheelbarrows of wood for only $20. Two Wheelbarrows lasted 4 days so it's a lot of dire wood. Bathrooms are clean, water in the first shower was hot enough...didn't use the second one.
