Vastwood Co Park

County-managed Vastwood Co Park sits within Vastwood Park, just east of Hawesville in western Kentucky. The campground operates seasonally from early April through late October, offering both RV and tent camping with electric and water hookups at sites ranging from $8-20 per night.

Campers can access sites by car, boat, or on foot, with the park featuring a lake that allows non-motorized watercraft. Wide campsites accommodate RVs, though some sites sit closer together than others. The park includes paved walking and biking trails, a disc golf course, playground, and swimming area. A bathhouse with showers serves campers, while a dump station handles RV waste needs.

Dave B. notes that "sites have water and electric, dump station on site" and mentions weekends tend to get busy. The park allows pets and campfires, with staff emptying trash regularly during weekdays. Galaxy Pizza operates within the park and delivers directly to campsites.

For campers wanting forest camping instead, Hoosier National Forest provides dispersed sites about 9 miles east across the Ohio River in Indiana.
