Redd Hollow

Stayed 2 nights. Nearly empty, but we’ll kept camp. Best sunsets!!! Lake is beautiful. Many many lakeside spots. Lots of room.

Great place to camp. Would have liked to stay longer. With my senior lifetime pass it only costs $5 there was firewood already available to burn.

Leaving the paved road with our 27' Airstream, I felt like this road may be a long one way trip! But then it opened to a very nice campground. Very simple, one clean bathroom, one dumpster, no showers, no water, no electric. But we didn't need it or want it. Just an overnight stay in a beautiful location. We chose site 31, at the top of the hill and with a view of the lake and sunset. I would not recommend others to put their 27' Airstream here, as it was quite tight for space. But it has an absolutely astounding view. We listened to the waves splash against the rocks below. It was peaceful and calm. Only one other camper here in March.

On your honor payment $10 per night for up to 8 people per campsite. Site number 1 had lots of trees right at the site perfect for hammocks. There were lots of sites with trees for hammocks but we had 7 people and that one was perfect. A little close to the gravel road had a couple of cars drive by over night making a small racket but bearable. No running water and I did not see any bathrooms, but that was fine exactly what I expected. Kind of funny a camper way down from us was playing some loud Rap so another camper closer to us decided to counter with some even louder Bluegrass music. It was quite irritating at the time because we came to escape the loud noises but funny to think of now. I wish people would just remember some people come out to these places for the peace and quiet. Camp ground has a great access to the lake very shallow at this point but wide open access to the main lake.

This place is very neat.  We prefer areas that feel more secluded and provide enough space between sites so our dogs don't lose their minds at every sound/person.  This place surprisingly has some beautiful sites and most of them are pretty far apart! We stayed at the campsite farthest in the back that stands up on a hill.  You're near rocky beaches but you over look it from about 20-25 feet above.  Really beautiful! Majority of sites have a pretty nice view of the lake & there are some near the entrance that are mostly wooded if that's what you prefer. 

I cannot say what this area is like in the summer months, I imagine a little crowded as it has a boat ramp. We went 10/24 & the weather was chilly so it wasn't too crowded. 

We will definitely come again.

If you drive all the way to the back of this campground, there’s a little bluff overlooking the lake where you can camp. We were disappointed that those spots were all taken. We were also disappointed with how close together the rest of the open sites were! The few that were hidden and private were taken. We chose the first site in the woods as you enter the campground. Couldn’t see much of the lake from the site but we loved being tucked in the woods. The only noise we heard from other people was when people drove past hauling boats. The bathroom was very clean. We will probably go back during a time of year that is not so busy so we can get a site we like better!

Had a great 3 day 2 night stay here. All you need to camp here is a camping permit from Land Between the Lakes which is 30 dollars online. If you have a Kentucky resident sportsmans licence this permit is included in that! Each site has a 2 foot across firepit with a grill plate that is hinged so you can flip it on or off the fire. Some of the sites are about 10 to 15 yards from the water while others are a good ways from it. There is no electricity at any of the sites however there is a central dumpster for trash and a composting toilet as well as a boat ramp. The sites are gravel pads with a fire pit and a concrete picnic table. Easily fit my 3 person tent with a 9 x 12ft tarp as a foot print and two vehicles with still room to walk around easily in the site.

Redd Hollow Campground is off Rt453 in Land Between The Lakes. Depending on which way you are coming from there is access from Dover, Tn (south)and Grand Rivers, Ky (north). Or right in the middle Rt 68 which drops you in near Golden Pond visitors center where you will need to get a Basic Camping pass $30 annually if you want to camp at these primitive areas in LBL.

Bring your bug spray, bug candles, bug everything. Of course if your primitive camping its to be expected.

Well maintained gravel roads to sites, make sure you check in at the visitor center for info. There is a pit toilet in the camping area, picnic tables and fire rings. A dumpster and boat ramp make it very homey and convenient. Several of the sites have direct access to the water and there are some secluded and unique sites. Drive all the way through before you pick your location cause there are some with interesting views and Tree Tent size trees.
