Warning 2 Alerts are In Effect

There are 2 alerts for this campground. Camp safely!

Due to weather, Kentucky State Parks cannot guarantee the availability of water or other resources at our campgrounds during inclement weather months when freezing temperatures are possible. Please contact the park directly for available resources if traveling during months that are conducive to freezing temperatures.

Due to the flooding that occurred earlier this year and the length of time the waters remained in our campground, the electrical infrastructure has been compromised. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the campground closed through 9/30/25.

Green River Lake State Park Campground, near Campbellsville, Kentucky, is a solid choice for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors with a beautiful lake backdrop. The campground offers a mix of tent, RV, and cabin accommodations, making it suitable for various camping styles.

Visitors often highlight the clean facilities, including decent showers and well-maintained restrooms. Many appreciate the ample sites, though some mention that the newer section lacks shade, while the older section provides a bit more cover from the sun. As one camper noted, “Check in was easy and friendly,” setting a welcoming tone for your stay.

The lake is a major draw, perfect for swimming and relaxing on hot days. Campers have enjoyed the warm water, even during rain, and the scenic views are a hit, especially in the fall when the colors pop. If you're into hiking, there are trails nearby, but be aware that some tent spots can be a bit hilly.

While the campground can get busy during peak season, the overall vibe is friendly and laid-back. Whether you're here for a quick weekend or a longer adventure, Green River Lake State Park Campground has plenty to offer for a memorable outdoor experience.

It's a comfortable parking lot

This review is just about the campground not the lake or area surrounding it. The campground sites are ample but nothing special. I'd call them small to medium. Very few trees. Probably not a place I will visit a second time

Tidy enough, pretty lake, be careful, some tent spots are on hills

Check in was easy and friendly, a fair number of open sites, the lake is really pretty, the showers were pretty decent. Other Campers were well behaved and it was fairly peaceful. 1/2 the park has good shade, the other half has no shade.

Beautiful when there’s no crowd

We stayed at this beautiful park in early November. There were only a few other campers so it was peaceful and very pretty. We enjoyed the lake views and fall colors everywhere.

The downside was the store was closed and the wifi we expected wasn’t on. Since this was a working trip, we had to go to town and get wifi at the library (5 stars there!) that meant less time to explore all the trails.

If you go in peak season, the campsites are very close together with few trees, so you may feel a bit crowded.

Great State Park

Easy check in and nice level sites close to the water. The newer section has very few trees for shade. The older section had plenty of shade and nice sites.

Good spot for exploring the river

Our primitive site had a view of the river and a single tree for shade. Many of the other campsites had ample shade, so definitely check before you reserve, if possible. Lots of amenities (like newly installed WiFi and a store) that we didn’t use the two days we were there, but had we stayed longer I’m sure we would have appreciated them. There were a lot of RVs and families there, so don’t expect it to be quiet in the campground. That’s what kayaking is for!

We stopped in nearby Greensburg on the way to rent a kayak, as we’d heard the closest marina(s) to the campground only had pontoons and larger craft. The river itself was wonderful to explore via kayak, and we ended up barely hiking.
