Stop 1, Caravan across Ky
I love State Parks, but as has been the norm in recent years due to funding cuts, Kenlake has declined in its appeal.
The camp ground is split away from the actual park by 68/80, a four lane highway, and there are zero direction signs telling you to turn toward Aurora instead of into the park. The "check in" was quick, but there is no fire wood available, no ice available, there is nothing, but, "a Dollar General about a mile or so up the road has everything." So does "Walmart" 15 miles down the road. Water and electric hook-ups are at least 50 plus feet from your pad, so bring extra power cords and water hoses! Most pads decline toward the lake, so secure chock blocks are a must, and pads have a 3- 18 inch drop off around the edges... ankles beware! And the children on golf carts nearly running us over most of the day & night, then their angry parents.... thankfully the Park's Law Enforcement was very professional, but overworked. Land Between the Lakes is also very close, and convenient for hiking, geocashing, and structured outdoor attractions.
