Archway RV Park in Mount Vernon offers full hookup sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections. The RV sites are arranged in a parking lot style with gravel pads, where doors face each other with minimal space between neighboring rigs. Boulder Recreation Area provides waterfront and lake view sites with either full hookups or electric-only options on paved surfaces that accommodate large motorhomes. UcamP Express RV Park in Salem features level, long pull-through sites designed for convenient overnight stays with self-check-in at a kiosk. Sites at Cedarbrook RV Park and Campground include 50-amp electric, water, and sewer hookups with big rig access. "Sites are nice, although all sites face each other meaning you will be 5-10 feet from your neighbors if you are sitting out front."

Several RV parks in the region remain open year-round, while others like Cedarbrook operate seasonally from April through October. Interstate access is particularly convenient at Archway RV Park, which sits just off I-64 with easy on-off accessibility. Sanitary dump stations are available at most parks, though availability varies by location. A review noted that UcamP Express offers "a convenient and safe location" with immaculate bathrooms and discounted rates for camper vans not requiring hookups. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area. Dam West Campground provides electric hookups with nearby beach access, though some visitors mention occasional power issues at certain sites. Pets are welcome at nearly all area RV parks, with Archway featuring a dedicated fenced dog park area.

    Coles Creek Recreation Area

    Nice lake, quiet campground

    Coles Creek Campground on Carlyle Lake has 219 sites, most with full hookups, and shade. (There is 30 & 50 a as no service). Internet is spotty. There are also 2 group campsites with cabins. There are showers, flush toilet, a playground, fish cleaning station, boat ramp and a dump station. There is also a laundry area. All the campsites are either on the shoreline or a short walk to the lake. The whole campground is fairly flat, so the sites are level and easy to get into. There are a few pull through sites. Comes Creek is on the east side of Carlyle Lake, away from the larger, more crowded Hazlet State Park area. It’s a great place for fishing and boating or just enjoying the lake. The lake is a prime fishing and boating lake, and is recognized as one of the nation's top ten inland sailing lakes.

    Okaw Valley Kampground

    Very Convenient!

    This campground is very convenient if you’re looking for a quick stay during a trip. It’s just a short hop off the highway, yet the road noise wasn’t bad. Barb, one of the owners was very helpful and nice. The ground was very squishy due to melted snow and a lot of rain. And Barb apologized for that, even though it’s not her fault. Did not use the facilities. It’s big rig friendly and has pull through sites.
