Little Bear Island Campground

Little Bear Island Campground sits on an actual island surrounded by the Little Sandy River, accessible by both boat and a dirt road that can become muddy during wet conditions. The private campground accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with electric and water hookups, plus amenities like a dump station and firewood sales.

Reviewers highlight the fishing opportunities, with one camper noting they "fished all day and night" and enjoyed a catfish fry with their catch. The island setting provides mountain views and differs from typical RV park layouts. However, road access requires caution during poor weather conditions, and some visitors find the nightly rates of $35-$45 steep for the available facilities. The campground works well for anglers and families with pets seeking river access, though those wanting diverse activities beyond fishing may find options limited.

Very peaceful

I drove to the campgrounds but didn't stay. It was too muddy, it's a dirt road. I was nervous about getting stuck, and that was without my trailer attached. It's also too expensive for what's there. You can fish but nothing else to do there.

Beautiful RV Park

This little jewel is an actual island surrounded by the Little Sandy River in Greenup, KY.  We fished al day and night.  Caught a bunch of fish and had a catfish fry.  The mountain views are awesome and for once it wasn't another RV parking lot.  We go with our grandson and dogs every weekend!
