"* Beautiful area of Kentucky Nice trails and great kayaking"
"Plenty of shade and a huge hill behind our site. Bathrooms were clean.
A lot of unsupervised children running around, in the stream and riding bikes."
"Water was running over the edges of cliffs and boulders throughout the park into the river that flows through the park."
"Lots to do within walking distance of the campground too."
"Didn't appreciate the grill in the next site (thought it was too close to us). We were in Site #8. Not sure what all is around here."
"We stayed on the upper end by the veterans cemetery, even though it's close to the pool and playground, it was pretty quiet. Sites were a bit unlevel, but easy to back into."
$20 / night
"The hiking trails are scenic and pretty and the lake while not overly big, is clean and great for swimming(there's a beach) , kayaking, and fishing."
"Great campground with super easy access to the trail and lake. The sites are spread apart enough so you aren’t right beside someone - and shaded."
$35 - $52 / night
"If you're a tent person using Vesuvius as a home base for trail hiking, stick with Iron Ridge."
"Great location to earn some backpacking miles. Feels quite remote, but along the trails there are shelters, bathrooms, trash reciprocals, and other useful hookups."
$35 - $125 / night
"The only thing you'll hear are barges running up and down the Ohio River and an occasional train over on the Kentucky side."
"You get to the point that you pick up that distant sound of a barge or a train on the Kentucky side.
The time and effort from these fine people, shows their commitment!!
Well done Sandy Springs."

"All around probably the best camper lots in the area. Very quiet and tucked away but still close enough to run into town. Ms. Cindy is very nice and more than willing to help with anything."
$35 - $45 / night
"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. "
"Our site was very level, maybe 1/2" low on the camp side. There is a good size lake for swimming, they have stand up paddle boards and kayaks."
"Quiet spot next to an industrial area. Nice view of man-made lake with a number of fishing huts for catch-and-release fishing. Pets allowed leashed, with no tie-outs permitted."
"The bad was locals firing guns for the hell of it for an hour straight and the trash left behind from the previous campers. Once night fall hit everything was quiet so I couldn't complain too much."
GuideThis campground has some of the largest and best spaces camp sites of any full hookup we have visited. There are great walking paths and biking/ scooter options. Our site was closer to the main road than any other but it was still a few hundred yards away. There is river access and it is close to Shawnee State Lodge and Portsmouth, which had great flood wall murals. The site was very clean but could use more trash cans to keep it that way. There is either a shooting range or someone shooting on their own property nearby that did steal some of the peace Saturday midafternoon but it was only for a few hours and wasn’t close enough to be a big deal.
GuidePulled in late at night around 9pm, map was slightly confusing and our site number was facing the opposite direction of what you would think. The sites are very tight and hard to pull into, but thankfully someone came out and noticed us having trouble and helped us pull in.
There also was a wasp nest inside the electric box. Cash only or check is also a bit inconvenient and archaic in 2025.
But in the morning after the rain, it was a much prettier and the campground and lake really was beautiful.
ScoutMe and my family were here for 2 days and everything about it especially at night it’s really scary would not recommend
ScoutGreat fishing, kind people, and wonderful views ❤️

LegendJust a beautiful park. Clean well maintained. Lots of amenities. Paddle boats, marina, 18 hole disc golf, bike park, huge dog park, store,archery range, playground and trails.
ScoutWe just left and had a wonderful time! Campground is clean, seasonal campers are kind and the views are beautiful! We stayed in site 10 right on the river and the views were great. Lots of green area to play. Huge open field as well by playground. No activities yet this year as the season just started. Not sure if there is enough to do with kids for an entire week but we had fun for the weekend. We had a great hike at a trailhead directly across the street from the campground. Took us a little over 3 hours for the entire loop with a 4 year. He walked almost the entire way so it’s doable and the views are worth it. Overall wonderful campground, we will be back!
ScoutFarver Acres is brand new! Our camper was the first RV to be connected to all the brand new hook ups. Water, electric sewer, and Wi-Fi all work great. It is a very private setting and beautiful views.
GuideThe campground is small. Has a nice dog park. Pickle ball courts Cafe Sky diving right here. The Ohio river is visible. The only real problem comes with the train tracks right here. The trains are close and do blow their whistle for crossing by the office.
