Grand Rivers offers a strong selection of RV campgrounds within the Land Between the Lakes region, ranging from year-round parks with full hookups to seasonal sites along Kentucky Lake. Tween the Lakes RV Park offers year-round full hookup sites on concrete pads, while Cypress Lakes RV Park features 105 sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Birmingham Point Campground operates seasonally from March 15 to November 15 with water and electric sites overlooking Kentucky Lake. Outback RV Resort in nearby Eddyville accommodates large motorhomes with 50-amp service and spacious pull-through sites. Many parks have gravel interior roads with varying site widths and lengths. "The pull through is a large half moon. It was difficult to get straight on the rig but we made it work for an overnighter. We would not recommend trying anything longer than a 38' rig into the site due to the turn."
Interstate 24 provides convenient access to most area RV parks, with many located within 30 minutes of Grand Rivers. Dump stations are available at Birmingham Point and Canal campgrounds for those staying at partial hookup sites. Cellular coverage varies by location, with most parks reporting adequate Verizon service. During summer months, golf carts become a common sight at parks like Canal Campground and Birmingham Point. Full-time and seasonal residents occupy significant portions of Indian Point RV Park and Cypress Lakes, leaving limited availability for short-term stays. Many parks maintain pet-friendly policies but enforce leash requirements. Propane services are limited in immediate campground areas, requiring trips to nearby towns for refills.

GuideHurricane Creek
Campground hosts were fabulous, but the core part of it. The people at the core were very belligerent didn't want to help out. The roads were really narrow. Big ditches couldn't get into the sights that they said you could the real some of the sites are deep, but the roads are so narrow, you can't cut your vehicle into it. A lot of problems with that out here at this place

Camp Cadiz Campground
Quiet clean campground, 8 sites, one water spigot, pit toilets, hiking and biking, 9 miles to Garden of the Gods. Campground is right next to road. Local traffic is minimal, most sites will accommodate 30ft trailer or motor home.

TravelerFern Lake Campground
I’m not sure where the good reviews come from. Ive tried to find another Fern Lake to make sure I was at the correct one. Bath facilities have half doors so you are shitting in public. Your kids get the nice look over by any of the weird full timers living junk squaller. The power poles are only standing by the shear strength of all the cobbled together wires and electric tape. It’s not safe. It’s fucking dangerous. Most the fire “pits” are shitty rings from 60 years ago at least. There is zero maintenance here. It’s very loud next to the freeway. Sites are small and on top of each other. Lots are small. Not level. And little gravel. The cinder blocks keep you from backing in too far. Most of the water posts are “shared” because others don’t work. Picnic tables are a fucking joke. Rotten. Lead paint and worthless. The water retaining POND has a grass path around it so you can admire what recycled concrete can create where there was once no POND. One star is extremely generous. Just like the generous $10 a bundle for wood. Keep on trucking. It’s not far to go to find something worthwhile. This is a 100% pass. Before you think I’m some kind of pre Madonna, I will say we are a minimalist family that camps in unimproved spots and boondocks all the time. This place is gross. And disturbing that anyone reviews it for more than a 1 star. Most of the reviews are flat out lies. One talks about the clean bathrooms, hot showers, and one mentions a fucking pool! Wtf? Shitting in your own fire ring is more private. Pictures sooooo under tell the story of what a shot hole this place is. It’s off the freeway very close. And there is a Mexican restaurant across the street and a Casey’s essentially attached. If that’s what you like. Have fun. But any great reviews are from either someone who came and went in the dark. Or are from the owners.

Will come again
Started at Gatlin Point. Moved because wanted something closer to the water.
Spacious spots give plenty of privacy. Was very quiet (12th). Facilities clean.
T-Mobile sometimes spotty but had coverage most of the time.
RJ B.TravelerPisgah Point - DFWR
Pretty, but Surprisingly Busy
We chose this spot to camp because it seemed out of the way and was hopefully quiet. We're not sure whether it was the beauty of the spot or the time of the year (Thursday before Columbus Day/fall break), but this spot was so busy!! We arrived early afternoon and there was someone driving in (most left again) every 10 minutes for the entire day!! Not the peaceful spot we were hoping for. We intended to stay a second night, but it was just too busy for us. Not a repeat site for us unfortunately.
We set up camp on the east side near the woods. It was a little challenging to find a flat area. The vault toilet was central to the area. We saw several large birds catching fish in the lake, so there must be decent fishing. There was a picnic table or two on the west side of the area and several fire pits (only one on the east side where we were). The 2 mile gravel road leading to Pisgah Point was pretty rough and washed out at points.

Massive Park with Lake Views
Do yourself a favor and pay for the golf cart! This campground is huuuge! We stayed here for an event and were amazed at how many sites there were. We had a nice campsite on the lake side, however the lake was pretty dry. Facilities were clean and we had a nice level site. All in all a fun time was had by all.

Nice CG!
This is the third time we’ve stayed here just using it as an overnight on the way to and from home on our way out west. Great campground with full hook up service in some sites and a view of the lake.
Guide to Grand Rivers
RV sites near Grand Rivers, Kentucky offer year-round access to Land Between the Lakes recreation areas. The region sits at the northern entrance to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, with water on both sides from Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. Summer temperatures frequently exceed 90°F, while winters remain relatively mild with occasional freezing temperatures. Most campgrounds in the area feature gravel pads with varying degrees of shade coverage.
What to do
Lake activities: Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley provide excellent fishing opportunities. Birmingham Point Campground offers direct lake access with "beautiful views" and visitors report seeing "deer and eagles in the CG during our overnight stay."
Local trails: The county has a trail system accessible just a short distance from Tween the Lakes RV Park & Campground. As one camper notes, the trails "begin just a few hundred feet down the road that is a nice stretch of the legs."
Water park fun: For families seeking water recreation beyond the lakes, Venture River RV park is located next to Venture River Water Park. A visitor mentioned, "We would stay here again and bring the cousins to play at the water park."
What campers like
Quiet atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the peaceful environment at certain parks. A visitor to Outback RV Resort noted, "This park was very quiet, easy to access and owners were very friendly. The grounds were very well kept."
Clean facilities: Cleanliness ranks high on campers' priority lists. One reviewer at Outback RV Resort commented, "Showers and bathrooms immaculate," while another at Cypress Lakes RV Park stated, "Very clean facilities and lovely people!"
Organized activities: Several campgrounds provide scheduled events, especially during summer months. A Cypress Lakes RV Park visitor mentioned, "Lots of fun activities on Holiday weekends throughout the summer season," while another noted it was "very busy with activities. Great if you have kids."
What you should know
Seasonal occupancy: Many RV parks near Grand Rivers have high percentages of seasonal or permanent residents. At Indian Point RV Park, "The 150+ sites are long term rental properties. More a retirement community than a RV camp."
Site limitations: Some pull-through sites have tight turning radiuses that limit RV length. At Birmingham Point Campground, one camper advised, "We would not recommended trying to anything longer than a 38' rig into the site due to the turn to get out."
Flooding concerns: After heavy rain, water drainage can be problematic at some locations. Duck Creek RV Park experienced issues where "the last night of our stay there was a rainstorm and we woke up to ankle-deep water pooled around our trailer."
Tips for camping with families
Water recreation options: Beyond fishing, several parks offer swimming facilities. Cypress Lakes RV Park features "a small Lake in it to fish" and a pool, though one family noted, "We wish the pool had been open…it's still in the process of a renovation. Shaved ice was a nice consolation prize."
Playground access: Birdsville Riverside RV Park provides more space between sites, making it good for families who need room to spread out, with a reviewer noting, "Birdsville Riverside RV Park has a great setup for RVers looking to enjoy the area without being on top of their neighbors."
Kid-friendly amenities: Several parks offer dedicated facilities for children. One visitor to Indian Point RV Park mentioned, "There is a swimming pool, play ground, boat ramp, and game room" making it suitable for family activities despite limited transient camping spaces.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Be prepared with leveling blocks at many area campgrounds. At Tween the Lakes RV Park, a visitor advised, "Reason for 4 star review is the concrete pads are not level so be prepared with level bocks."
GPS navigation: Follow campground instructions rather than GPS directions when arriving. One camper at Outback RV Resort shared, "We did as the pre-check-in email stated and took exit 45, NOT exit 40 as the RV GPS wanted."
Campground approach: Highway proximity makes some parks convenient but noisy. Duck Creek RV Park "sits along a very busy road" according to one camper, while sites at Tween the Lakes RV Park & Campground experience "lots of traffic noise, though seems relatively safe."
