Cumberland Falls RV Resort

25 RV Sites

Cumberland Falls RV Resort in Parkers Lake, Kentucky, offers 25 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, at the gateway to one of the Appalachians' most extraordinary natural wonders. Premium WiFi, golf cart rentals, a lake, and a fishing pier serve guests exploring the Daniel Boone National Forest. Twenty-five sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. A general store, restrooms, showers, firewood, and both standard and premium WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A lake and fishing pier sit on the property, with a river and creek running nearby. Sports courts, pickleball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, a pavilion, and a dog park fill the grounds, with golf cart rentals to cross the property and planned activities through the season. Hiking, whitewater rafting, canoeing, kayaking, stargazing, and birding all run from the area, with boating and a casino nearby. Cumberland Falls is the reason to come. The 125-foot-wide curtain of the Cumberland River plunges 68 feet through a sandstone gorge and produces a moonbow visible by full moon light — a phenomenon found in only a handful of locations worldwide. The state resort park, the Daniel Boone National Forest, and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area all converge here, with SomerSplash Waterpark and Wildcat Off-Road Park nearby. Full moon weekends draw moonbow viewers specifically. Reserve well ahead for those dates and for October foliage.

Off the Hook RV Campground

5 RV Sites

In Nancy, Kentucky—in Pulaski County in south-central Kentucky's Lake Cumberland corridor where the 101-mile reservoir on the Cumberland River creates the largest Army Corps of Engineers lake east of the Mississippi by surface area, the most extensive freshwater boating and fishing destination in the region, and the resort community that the 1,200-plus miles of Lake Cumberland's shoreline has built into the houseboat capital of the world—Off the Hook RV Campground, a Streamside Parks property, provides 31 spacious full hookup sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service on level gravel pads to 50 feet, fire rings and picnic tables at every site, WiFi, 24-hour showers and laundry, a playground, a shaded gazebo, a catch-and-release pond, a ropes-style obstacle course, and complimentary seasonal live music and activities, all less than one mile from Lake Cumberland's shoreline and the 1,200 miles of coves, bays, and forested shoreline that the reservoir's houseboat and pontoon boat culture organizes around. One mile from Lake Cumberland. Obstacle course. Free seasonal music. The 31 full hookup sites—gravel pads to 50 feet with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer—accommodate the full range from the travel trailer to the large fifth wheel or Class A in the Pulaski County campground configuration that the Lake Cumberland outdoor community's RV travel style favors. Each site provides a fire ring and picnic table, and WiFi covers the campground property. The 24-hour shower and laundry access accommodates the lake-day schedule that doesn't always align with the standard check-in and check-out window, and the playground, shaded gazebo, and catch-and-release pond provide the on-property activity for the non-lake morning. The ropes-style obstacle course adds the physical challenge activity that the elementary-school age camper finds engaging between swimming and fishing excursions, and the complimentary seasonal live music evenings create the campground's social calendar without the event-ticket cost. Nancy sits in Pulaski County on KY-80 east of Somerset, in the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park corridor between the lake's Waitsboro and Burnside areas. The lake's 101-mile length and the 1,200-plus miles of shoreline that the Army Corps of Engineers' Wolf Creek Dam on the Cumberland River created in 1951 produce the inland sea character that Lake Cumberland's houseboat fleet—one of the largest concentrations of houseboats in the United States—occupies from spring through fall. The Somerset-Pulaski County waterfront marinas, the Lake Cumberland State Resort Park's lodge and cottages, and the commercial outfitters operating from the Jamestown and Russell County ends of the lake create the recreation infrastructure that the Off the Hook's less-than-one-mile proximity accesses directly. Daniel Boone National Forest, whose eastern boundary passes through Pulaski County, provides 708,000 acres of eastern Kentucky mountain terrain—the Red River Gorge Geological Area and Natural Bridge State Resort Park, both accessible within 90 minutes north on US-27, represent the national forest's most dramatic sandstone arch and canyon landscapes. Mill Springs Battlefield National Monument, 20 miles east, preserves the January 1862 battle site where Union forces decisively defeated the Confederate Army of Central Kentucky—the battlefield museum, the overshot mill, and the monument to General Felix Zollicoffer create the Civil War experience in the Lake Cumberland corridor. Off the Hook RV Campground operates year-round in Pulaski County's temperate Kentucky climate, with the Lake Cumberland boating season from April through October the primary camping window and the spring fishing tournament season—the lake's largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, and crappie fishing attracting the tournament circuit from March through June—the most active angling period. Reserve your site at Off the Hook and let the obstacle course, the seasonal live music, and Lake Cumberland's 1,200 miles of houseboat-covered shoreline deliver the south-central Kentucky lake experience that Pulaski County's most complete RV campground provides.

Soggy Bottoms Campground

11 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Soggy Bottoms Campground in Liberty, Kentucky, offers 11 RV sites and three tent sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 120 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join a general store, playground, showers, and creek frontage. Eleven back-in sites run in full-hookup and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 120 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. One hundred twenty feet is exceptional capacity for a park this size and accommodates anything on the road with room to spare. Three tent sites round out the lodging, and the tent rate covers one tent — additional tents need to be added to the reservation. A general store, dump station, and showers handle the practical side. A creek runs the property for fishing and canoeing and kayaking, with a playground and volleyball filling the rest. A national park area is nearby. Pets are welcome. Casey County sits in south-central Kentucky's rolling farm and forest country, genuinely rural and quiet. Liberty is the county seat, and the area is close enough to reach several of the state's better outdoor destinations without staying in a crowded corridor — Green River Lake, Lake Cumberland, and the Daniel Boone National Forest are all within a reasonable drive, with Mammoth Cave farther west. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Kentucky conditions, with summer drawing lake traffic through the region. Demand runs steadily rather than seasonally at a park this size. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

4 Guys RV Park

50 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers, 2 Houses

4 Guys RV Park in Stanton, Kentucky, offers 53 full-hookup RV sites and four cabin and house rentals in a forested valley with a river running through it, carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp service for rigs to 76 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Vintage camper rentals, a poolside home, tiny homes, and a barn house give the accommodation range real breadth. Fifty-three sites span economy full-hookup, premium full-hookup, deluxe back-in, and premium plus back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 76 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Vintage camper rentals — including the Timberwolf and a vintage green camper — plus cabins, tiny homes, a poolside home, and a barn house serve guests without a rig, covering parties of any size. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and site WiFi handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, arcade, golf cart rentals, a playground, pavilion, barn, and pond across the grounds. Hiking, fishing, basketball, and birding run from the property, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Stanton is the base camp for Red River Gorge. The Geological Area, Natural Bridge State Park, Clifty Wilderness, Daniel Boone National Forest, Muir Valley Nature Preserve and Climbing Area, Hollerwood Offroad Adventure Park, and Wild Things of Kentucky are all close. Climbing season in spring and fall and October foliage drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead.

Yeary Valley Farms

4 RV Sites, 4 Tiny Houses

Yeary Valley Farms in Speedwell, Tennessee, offers four full-hookup RV sites and four tiny houses on a working farm in the Appalachian highlands, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Themed cabin rentals, farm animals, and a pond make this a farm stay rather than a conventional campground. Four back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. Four tiny houses and individually themed cabins serve guests without a rig — the themed units are much of the appeal here. At four RV sites, availability is genuinely limited, so book well ahead. Pets are welcome. The farm setting carries the experience, with farm animals on the property and a pond for fishing. Hiking, boating, and stargazing run from the area, and the dark rural sky at this elevation is worth an evening on its own. The position is unusually good for outdoor recreation. Norris Lake — Tennessee's finest fishing lake — has a public boat launch two miles away, and the Royal Blue Wildlife Management Area's extensive ATV and UTV trail network is 12 miles out. Off-roading is nearby, which draws a steady share of guests. The farm sits right off Highway 63 in Speedwell, with Flat Hollow Marina, Blue Springs Hollow Boat Dock, Powell Valley Resort, a Sunoco fuel station, and a Dollar General all within short distance. Summer lake season and fall riding weather drive demand. With four RV sites and four tiny houses, reserve as far ahead as you can.

Quiet Woods Green River Stables

10 RV Sites

Quiet Woods Green River Stables in Campbellsville, KY, offers 10 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. At 60 feet the sites take a large rig, and with ten of them the property never feels crowded. Laundry, a general store, and a barn are on site — the barn is the point, since this is an equestrian property and guests can bring horses, which almost no standard campground accommodates. Pets are welcome. The property also serves as a wedding venue. A beach and lake access, walking trails, and live music fill the grounds, with fishing, boating, swimming, biking, and birding on and around the water. A state park is nearby. Campbellsville sits in the Green River Lake area of central Kentucky, in rolling farm and lake country. Rates and availability are on the booking page. If you're traveling with horses, contact the stables directly to confirm stall availability alongside your site.

Little Patch of Heaven

33 RV Sites

Little Patch of Heaven in Bardstown, Kentucky, offers 33 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. A 30/50-amp deluxe waterfront category joins deluxe back-in and pull-through tiers, with a storm shelter, pond, barn, and walking trails. Thirty-three sites span 30/50-amp deluxe back-in, 30/50-amp deluxe pull-through, 30/50-amp deluxe waterfront, and 30-amp deluxe pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits. Accessible sites are available, and the waterfront tier is the one to request. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Two winter notes worth planning around: the bath house closes October 16 through April 1, and grey and black tanks should be discharged only at the designated site sewer drop or the dump station. The storm shelter is a genuine safety feature in Kentucky. A pond supports fishing, with a barn, walking trails, hiking, community fire pit, dog park, corn hole, and picnicking filling the grounds. A lake, golf course, state park, and boating are nearby. Pets are welcome. Bardstown calls itself the Bourbon Capital of the World and has the distilleries to back it — Heaven Hill, Willett, Barton 1792, and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail all run through, with My Old Kentucky Home State Park in town. Fall bourbon season and spring drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for September and October.

from $70/night

Still Waters Campground

22 RV Sites

Still Waters Campground in Frankfort, Kentucky, offers 22 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, in the state capital and the heart of the Bluegrass. Back-in and pull-through categories in both full-hookup and water-and-electric configurations sit beside a lake with a boat ramp. Twenty-two sites run in water-and-electric back-ins, 30/50-amp pull-throughs, and water-and-electric pull-throughs, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 60 feet. Cabins and group camping round out the accommodations. Laundry, a dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The water is the setting. A lake, pond, and creek run the property with a boat ramp for direct access, supporting fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking. Walking trails, hiking, and biking run the forested grounds, with a barn and dog park besides, and birding is productive along the creek. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Frankfort sits at the Kentucky River crossing in Franklin County, which makes it a genuinely central base: Louisville, Lexington, and the Mammoth Cave region are all within day-drive range. The immediate attractions are dense — the Kentucky State Capitol, Liberty Hall Historic Site, the Buffalo Trace National Historic Landmark distillery, the Butterfly Greenhouse, the Salato Wildlife Education Center, Cove Spring Park, and the Sullivan House Visitor Center are all in town, alongside the horse farms and limestone gorge country that define the Bluegrass. Spring and fall are the most comfortable for touring the distilleries and horse farms, and carry the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead.

from $49/night

Three Springs Campground

25 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 1 Tent Site

Three Springs Campground in Sadieville, Kentucky, offers 25 RV sites, four cabins, and a tent site in Scott County's rolling bluegrass farmland, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 61 feet. A pond, dog park, and community fire pit anchor a low-key rural retreat about 15 miles north of Lexington. Twenty-five back-in sites carry water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 61 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Four cabins and a tent site round out the accommodations. Restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The pond is the centerpiece of on-site recreation, with fishing directly from the property. Walking trails run the grounds, and a playground, dog park, and community fire pit fill the rest. The intimate scale and natural pond setting make this a restful alternative to the busier campgrounds nearer the I-75 corridor, which is much of the appeal. Pets are welcome. Sadieville sits in the heart of the Bluegrass Region, roughly 15 miles north of Lexington and 20 miles south of Georgetown. That puts central Kentucky's horse farms, bourbon distilleries, and cultural attractions within easy reach while keeping the campground itself in genuine countryside. The campground serves the Kentucky season, with spring and fall delivering the most comfortable conditions for touring the horse farms and distilleries, and summer carrying steady family demand. Keeneland race meets and major Lexington events tighten area lodging considerably — reserve ahead if your stay overlaps one.

Forest Grove RV Resort

188 RV Sites

Forest Grove RV Resort in Dandridge, Tennessee, offers 188 full-hookup RV sites across 206 acres between Cherokee Lake and Douglas Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet.

That combination of serious recreational infrastructure and direct lake proximity is what has built the resort's reputation in East Tennessee. The resort serves the Tennessee lake season. Summer fishing and boating drive the heaviest demand, with October foliage in the Smokies bringing a second wave and the shoulder seasons offering the most comfortable conditions. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends and fall color.

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge

49 RV Sites, 12 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge in Monterey, TN, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites, 12 cabins, and 6 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 90 feet. Sites come in four categories — back-in, premium back-in, pull-thru, and deluxe pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available.

Mammoth Ridge RV Park

20 RV Sites

Mammoth Ridge RV Park and Campground in Greeneville, Tennessee, offers full-hookup RV sites on a lake with its own beach, a dog park, a general store and golf cart rentals. Sites take rigs up to 75 feet with electric hookups, which accommodates most large coaches traveling the Nolichucky valley between Morristown and Johnson City. Full-hookup RV sites with electric service accommodate rigs to 75 feet, and a dump station is on site. RV storage is available for guests leaving a rig between visits. Bathrooms, showers and laundry cover the practical side of a stay, a general store stocks basics and firewood, and WiFi reaches the sites. The lake is the property's center of gravity. A beach gives swimmers direct access, and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boats put guests on the water without leaving the campground. Walking trails and biking routes run the grounds, volleyball and gaga ball serve the younger crowd, and a covered pavilion handles group gatherings. A fenced dog park is on site and pets are welcome. Golf cart rentals make the property easy to move around, and a golf course is nearby. One practical note: this is bear country despite the populated setting, so store food accordingly. Greeneville is the home of Andrew Johnson, and the National Historic Site downtown preserves his homestead, tailor shop and cemetery. The Nolichucky River Gorge lies 20 miles south in the Cherokee National Forest, where a 14-mile canyon carries Class III–IV whitewater, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Cosby entrance is a 45-mile drive southwest. The campground runs spring through fall. Cherokee National Forest wildflowers peak April into May, and October foliage on the northeast Tennessee ridgelines is the busiest window of the year — with the Roan Mountain rhododendron bloom, 40 miles northeast, drawing heavily from mid-June into early July. Reserve ahead for both.
