land between the lakes

Off-highway vehicle enthusiasts find dispersed camping opportunities throughout this section of Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area in western Kentucky. The area allows primitive camping with no designated sites or facilities, requiring campers to bring their own water and practice Leave No Trace principles.

Access involves forest roads that can become challenging in wet conditions. The Turkey Bay Vehicle Area & Campground sits just over a mile northeast and provides developed amenities for those preferring established facilities. This dispersed option works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with backcountry conditions and ATV recreation.
