Parking an RV was easy as all their RV sites are pull thru and have water and electric. The sites are very long and we didn't even need to unhitch the truck with lots of room to spare. Once we got here. I can see why people come back. Their very nice and laid back. The campground is very well maintained. We checked out the bathrooms and their super clean and nice. Campfire wood is available and they pickup the garbage every night. It'd be a great place to come stay a while. I'm certain we will be back. This place is a hidden gem and highly recommended.

We stayed here from June 10th to June 14th, and I can't say enough good things about the campground…read moreand the hosts. From the moment you arrive, they go above and beyond--checking you in, helping deliver hay and supplies to the barn, assisting you with backing in your trailer, and even knowing exactly what's needed to get it leveled. The paddocks are fantastic and give your horses plenty of space to roam and relax after a long ride. Everything was well-maintained--clean, freshly mowed, and the bathrooms were spotless and spacious. As for the trails, there aren't many. The main 8-mile trail is mostly an old blacktop/gravel road. We also rode the Morrell Trail, which takes you to the top of the mountain. Be prepared for a lot of switchbacks--about 16 inches wide--with a drop-off on one side and a dirt or rock wall on the other. We had an inexperienced rider with us on a solid horse and had no issues. I'm glad we did it, but I probably wouldn't do it again--lol. I've seen some comments about the road leading into the campground. Yes, it is narrow, but I didn't have any problems with my 35-foot truck and trailer. Honestly, I've been on narrower roads in Indiana. We also took a day trip to the Blue Hole, which is definitely worth visiting--especially on a hot day. One tip: don't wear flip-flops for the walk down.

My boyfriend and I rode down from PA over the Labor Day weekend unsure of what we would find. We…read morewere pleasantly surprised to find a small, well manicured open field with a large bathhouse, 2 cabins and a fire ring. We were the only tent campers there so we had our choice of location. We found the bathhouse to be immaculate with a single huge shower stall - separate sides for men and women. There are also a washer and dryer and a gas grill available for guests to use. Windy, the proprietor, is a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guy. The campground is near "The Snake" and the AT. Be aware that the town consists of 2 businesses. A small diner with good cheap food and a general store that sells fast food type things. These businesses only accept cash.

You are not coming to Rainbow with the thought of a resort location with amazing amenities. If you like to fish, play horseshoes, and listen to music then this is your spot. Kevin and his wife are great hosts and make sure you have everything you need. There is about no Verizon service. You might get a text to pop through if you are lucky. Limited Wi-Fi, but I'm not coming there to jump on my device. We makes plans to come back each year. Highlight of our year.

Rainbow campground is exactly what we were looking for during our weekend fishing trip. It was…read moreNovember, so many of the seasonal campers were gone and the bath house closed, but we were made aware of that when we made our reservation. We had a full hookup site, so not having a bath house wasn't a problem. There isn't cell service, but there was wifi. It was a little spotty, but worked enough for us to check messages daily. Everyone we came across, including Kevin (the owner), was incredibly friendly and hospitable. There's not many places you go that people motion for you to come over and pull up chairs for you to join them. We placed several games of horseshoes, it can be addictive. We went ahead and made our reservation to return in the spring since peak season runs from April to September and they stock trout 4 times a week during those months. The campground stays hopping during that time and there don't seem to be many nightly sites. Most sites are occupied by seasonal campers that pay the winter storage fee as well. Overall, Rainbow Campground is a good choice if you are looking for a spot at Big Tumbling with friendly folks and necessary amenities. If you are looking for bells and whistles and a commercial type of place, then this is not the place for you. Leave these sites for those of us that appreciate a relaxing weekend away in a place that truly welcomes you.

I stayed at Raccoon Branch Campground during August of 2019. The park is very clean, very peaceful…read moreand with only 20 campsites, 8 with 30 amp and water hookup. I gave the park an average rating because it has a serious electrical issue with the 30 amp sites. The park was built in the 60's and the electrical is in dire need of being upgraded. On different occasions mainly during the day with the AC running on the area that I was in the main breaker will trip. Myself and others in the area affected by the electrical powering 4 30 amp sites went without power on several occasions for several hours. An employee with the park came out to try and fix the issue and found that the main power supply to the sites affected was only putting out 60 amps just enough to power two 30 amp sites with four connected to the main supply line. The park as in the employee's words badly needs to have the electrical upgraded to avoid outages in the future. Overall the stay was very pleasant but having the electrical issue was very upsetting to deal with.The park does offer internet with a strong signal.
