Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area includes Birmingham Ferry Campground, a US Forest Service site in Benton, Kentucky, with drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in access. Sites sit directly on the water and are fairly level, each with a concrete picnic table and a fire ring with cooking grate. Wildlife is active at night, so securing food and trash is necessary. Campers wanting nearby alternatives can explore Smith Bay Campground or browse camping areas around Land Between the Lakes Other. The campground is open year-round and accommodates RVs up to 42 feet.
