Put in at the Raccoon Loop for easy river access. Great Meadows Campground is developed on both sides of the road. Deer Loop is on the right; Raccoon Loop is on the left (riverside). Campsite availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Rock Creek, a designated Kentucky Wild River, runs along the Raccoon Loop.

Log in to add a reportTypical boulder block on the upper section of Rock Creek, at normal (low) flow. Who knows what this looks like with more water? Thanks to Joseph Morgan for the photo!
This is what the creek looks like just above Great Meadow. It needs a A LOT of rain to go. The creek varies in width from 15 to 40 feet, with strainers not being uncommon in the narrower parts.
