Lake Jericho Recreation Area
About
County
Lake Jericho is a 137 acre lake located in Henry County, Kentucky and is operated by The Little Kentucky River Watershed Conservancy District. It opened for business on July 25, 1969. A daily admission fee is charged to anyone on the property. This fee, in combination with camping, boating fees, etc. is used to maintain and operate the park.
The park area is open daylight hours and has lots of bank fishing area as well as picnic tables and grills. Two shelters with restrooms are available on a first-come basis and shelters may be reserved for family reunions, company picnics, church outings, etc. (Call for reservations.)
Camping is available on a first come basis also. The camping season is April through October and campsites may be rented nightly, weekly or monthly. There are 62 RV sites with electric and water. Approximately half of the sites have sewer hook-ups and a dumping station is also available. Many tent sites are located in the center of the campground.
We have a small store on the ground to purchase ICE, BAIT, or SNACKS. Please respect nature and dispose of wrappers and other trash appropriately.

TravelerLots of permanent residents
We stayed here 2 nights as a shake down trip. Bring cash, no credit cards taken. We didn't have enough with us, but the Manager let us set up and Hubby went back home and got some cash. We live less then 15 mins from the park. It was very quiet. Even the local kids were nice and respectful. We did take a walk around the park and the lake is beautiful. It was hot during our stay, so we didn't go to the fishing area. The bath house is old and could really use an update. The gentleman who cleaned it every morning spent about 10 mins just spraying a mystery liquid around. Smelled like bleach. The site was gravel. There are tent sites on the lake and that would be nice for a family with kids.
ScoutLake Junk
This place is full of permanent residents that have it so junked up can’t tell if it’s a camp ground or RV junkyard nasty gross unkept just bad don’t go there
ScoutPrivate Campground with nice small lake
It’s a private campground with mostly permanent residents. Nice small pond and I hear the fishing is good. The first day here I went to the bathroom/shower and they were dirty-so I didn’t use either and decided to only use the facilities in my RV. Today I was outside and needed to go to the restroom, they were much cleaner this time. Old but cleaner. Staff at the campground seemed nice and friendly.
