Jones Creek

Within Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, Jones Creek provides primitive camping access near Kentucky Lake. The US Forest Service manages this dispersed camping area, which requires a backcountry camping pass for overnight stays.

Campers reach the site via well-maintained gravel roads leading to the boat ramp area, though some access routes demand high-clearance vehicles. The camping spots sit just off the road south of the boat launch, featuring established fire pits in clean areas. Wood tends to stay damp in this lakeside environment, so bringing dry firewood proves helpful. Anglers find the lake productive for fishing, while the location stays relatively quiet compared to developed campgrounds. For those seeking more amenities, Redd Hollow offers developed facilities northwest of this location.
