We loved Big South Fork NP, Oneida, and Stearns, KY and are definitely going back again. If you go-- make the short run a few miles above Oneida up to Stearns , KY and take the train down into the park along the river to the Blue Heron Mine town. A very low cost excursion on a scenic train into the river valley to the Blue Heron Interpretive Mine town. Stearns (the town) was a fantastic experience as was the train (the dogs got to ride the train too and had a blast!)

One thing to watch out for is if you go to or from Oneida to Bandy Creek CG is that there are significant hair-pin turns with 13 % grades into and out of the river valley to get to the park. We did them with our truck camper but I won't do it with our 5th wheel. All that said many folks very carefully and successfully negotiate the road daily. I am not that brave though with our 5th wheel so will continue to visit in the TC.
