  Prizer Point Marina & Resort

  No Yogi

  Prizer Point KOA and Marina is your basic camp away from home with all those modern conveniences.

  Water all around (peninsula) so water sports of course. A swimming pool, playground, bouncy/jumpy thing, pedal car area, dog park, the list goes on.

  The Rv style sites were very well situated on the water side loop, realize there is not much privacy. The primitive camp area looked a little frolorn and long in the grass, plus it is a walk to entertainment and the water. There is new construction going on, so reservation maybe easier to get. And there you are , Reserve ahead for prime locations, they are booked through August on the weekends.

  Paducah-Kentucky Lake KOA

  Not a typical KOA

  As KOAs go, this is one of The nicer ones! There is actually grass, not gravel, around the sites. There are trees and flowers and it is quite pleasant. With KOA you expect water, electric and sewer hookups. Clean shower/bathroom facilities and usually a pool. This place has that. Along with a small store, fishing lake, propane filling station. A dog park would be nice for the pups, but the do have a large grass area for walking them on lead. Internet connection is spotty! The spaces are a little close, but not as bad as some, and we were on an end site, so we had more room.

  Paducah-Kentucky Lake KOA

  Very nice little KOA

  We only stayed one night but staff was very pleasant and sites are reasonable size. There is a nice dog park with disposable bags. Our site overlooks a nice little pond. There is a clean laundry facility and heated restroom and showers. We did not need to use the facilities so I cannot comment on those. Campground is easily accessible from I24. We would definitely stay here again.

  Ramp - West Kentucky WMA

  Great place to visit

  My family and I have visited this campground once. Although I think there are better places to camp in Kentucky, we definitely enjoyed ourselves. I think it's about WHO you are with and not WHERE you are. My family has a great time anywhere we are. The one downside to this place was that it was pretty close to the road, so I felt like we could hear all the traffic. The campsites are a little small as well, but we didn't mind. Each campsite has a fire ring and a small picnic table. We found it a little hard to nail down our tent as well. It was a little rocky, so we had to remove the rocks under the tent and use a hammer to get the tent to stay. We enjoyed hiking and some "nature walks." There are so many different birds around that it was fun to bird watch- although I have never done this before! The paths are clear and well marked for hiking. The views were great as well, and the weather was perfect when we went. There is a grocery store right down the road that we stopped at before we got there and loaded up on snacks, water, and stuff to make smores. There isn't much shade, just FYI. We brought some umbrellas which helped. We also brought our hammocks, but there wasn't any trees in our campsite to hook them up. We did bring them on our hikes and were able to put them up and eat some lunch. Another downside is that because the spaces are small, the people next to us were a little loud and stayed up pretty late so we didn't get much sleep. We understand that the summer months can be busy, which means campgrounds are packed. Highly recommend reserving your spot ahead of time.

  Piney Campground

  Nice!

  Nice campground. Clean, pet friendly. A lot of sites! Access to lakes. Saw a lot of wildlife for such a big campground with lots of people traffic.

  Stagecoach Station Campground

  Awesome Stop

  We stayed 4 nights on our way through Kentucky and really enjoyed this park. It is very close with easy access to Interstate 69 and Highway 68. It is right next door to the Land Between Lakes and Benton, KY.

  This is more of a travelers park, although there were quite a few long term residents in RVs. The park is built on hills but they did a great job leveling the sites. Gravel roads take you to your spot. There is water and electric. They have a dump station and pump out services. They do have showers available, they were the push button showers so it wasn’t a long relaxing hot shower (had to warm up each time).

  Cellular service for AT&T and TMobile were both great.

  Owners were very friendly, and made the check in process easy.

  Kenlake State Resort Park

  Not really a resort campground, but still nice enough

  Kenlake State Resort Park is very nice, but the campground is kind of forgotten on the other side of the 68/80 bypass. First be aware there are several seasonal campers who pretty much feel like they own the place, so their children's running around on golf carts, bicycles and walking through your camp to get to the "trail" between the two sides of the campground may make you uncomfortable. Second, in August the State park hosts Hot August Blues, so the campground will be booked solid well in advance for that weekend. Third, it is a nice campground, well kept, with amenities and it is located next to Kentucky Lake, and not really too far from some moderately large cities like Murray or Benton. There are no major retailers nearby, except the local convenience stores and the ever infamous Dollar General.  Belew's Dairy Dip is also nearby, a few Mom & Pop restaurants, and "antique" general store that has the largest ever selection of soda pops, and that is about it. My experience with the restaurant at the state park did not improve any from last year's visit, so I don't know that I'll return.  The amenities you expect (bath house, hook ups) are here though, so if you want to be close to Land Between the Lakes, hiking, fishing or just being out doors, this is a good and affordable option. Next door is some historic areas with signage to guide you and explain the significance of the original park (see the photo of the historical marker).

  Fenton Lake Access - DFWR

  Lake Access Only, not the Campground

  Fenton Campground and Lake access are in the same general location, but are actually separate. The ramp, floating dock and dike that allows access to Kentucky Lake is a favorite among locals, as it puts you about mid lake (N-S), and Kentucky Lake has some of the cleanest waters and the largest fish of any place. This area is always busy, 24/7, pretty much year round. There is a vault toilet, the campground is just east a bit, there is plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. The new Fenton bridge is a four lane bridge, with a walking/bike path that is a start/end point for the Hardwoods Trail, which goes east-west across Land Between the Lakes.

  Hurricane Creek

  Me likely..

  Hurricane Creek is off of Rt 274 in Kentucky on the east side of Land Between The Lakes.

  The campground is tucked away in its own little area with lots of shade trees and it's very own boat ramp. The sites are close but not stacked on top of each other.

  the RV sites are both next to and near the water. You can park your water craft nearby. There are also several sites up in the trees, some back in, some pull through. It is an older area so the pavement is not all flat and pretty.

  The tent sites are walk in, from the boat ramp parking area. Shaded and accessorized with tables, and fire rings. There were a few that tree tents would work well on.

  The shower house is a little bit of a walk, but centrally located for the entire campground.

  Overall a nice , quiet area, I will definitely be back.
