Several RV parks surround Land Between the Lakes with full hookup options for motorhomes and travel trailers. Birmingham Point Campground offers RV sites with 50-amp electrical service, water hookups, and sewer connections on sites up to 50 feet long. The campground remains open from March 15 to November 15. Tanglewood Campground and RV Resort provides 60 concrete pad sites with full hookups including 30-amp and 50-amp electrical options. "The sites were nice gravel pads and angled for easy backin," noted one visitor describing nearby Piney Campground. Cypress Lakes RV Park accommodates big rigs year-round with 105 sites featuring water, sewer, and 50-amp electrical connections, while Outback RV Resort operates seasonally from April through November.
Many parks near Land Between the Lakes require navigation through narrow access roads that can challenge larger motorhome drivers. "The road leading up to the campground is a bit narrow and hard to maneuver a big RV," cautioned one traveler about parks in the Dover area. Pull-through sites are limited in the region, with Birmingham Point Campground having just one pull-through option (site 25) suitable for RVs under 38 feet. Most parks offer dump stations, though location and approach angles vary considerably. Cell service strength differs between campgrounds, with Eagles Nest RV Park reporting strong Verizon coverage at three bars. Several parks maintain seasonal limitations, particularly those on Lake Barkley, which typically close from November through March. Golf carts are common transportation within larger resorts, with some offering rentals to navigate between amenities and the waterfront.

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

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.

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.

Pretty yet creepy at the same time
Site 44 sits under a beautiful tree with shade most of the day. The bathrooms are clean as are the insides of the washers and dryers. There is only 1 other camper here yet cars and golf carts are often driving through the campground. A bit unsettling.
Guide to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area
Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake create the boundaries of Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, forming a peninsula that spans 170,000 acres across Kentucky and Tennessee. RV campgrounds near Land Between the Lakes typically operate from April through October, with some closing by November 15 due to colder temperatures. Most campgrounds can accommodate vehicles under 40 feet in length, while limited sites exist for larger rigs.
What to do
Fishing at Birmingham Point: Birmingham Point Campground provides direct lake access for anglers seeking bass and crappie. "We enjoyed the lake view from our site plus we saw deer and eagles in the CG during our overnight stay," noted one visitor who appreciated the wildlife viewing opportunities combined with fishing access.
Water park visits: Venture River RV Park sits adjacent to a water attraction that draws families during summer months. "We would stay here again and bring the cousins to play at the water park," mentioned a camper who found the location ideal for entertaining children while establishing a base camp for exploring Land Between the Lakes.
Hiking nearby wildlife refuges: Eagles Nest RV Park provides access to multiple natural areas. "The main attractions nearby are KY Lake, Land Between The Lakes, Paris Landing State Park and the Big Sandy National Wildlife Refuge," explained a regular visitor who uses the park as a base for nature exploration.
What campers like
Concrete pads with patios: RVers appreciate the solid foundations at several parks surrounding Land Between the Lakes. "Eagle's Nest RV Park is clean and well maintained and offers free boat parking. Each pad is concrete and has its own patio and plenty of shade trees," reported a satisfied guest who returns annually.
Clean facilities: Outback RV Resort maintains high standards for their amenities. "Very, very well maintained facilities. Clean bath house. Level asphalt pads with good hook-ups," commented a traveler who stayed during an urgent family trip rather than for recreation.
Community activities: Seasonal visitors enjoy the social aspect of several campgrounds. "Love this campground, very friendly and accommodating. Lots of fun activities on Holiday weekends throughout the summer season," noted a visitor to Cypress Lakes RV Park, which organizes regular events for guests.
What you should know
Seasonal limitations: Many campgrounds close during winter months. "This campground closes for a few months in Fall," explained a visitor to Outback RV Resort, which typically operates from April through November like many facilities in the area.
Permanent residents: Several RV parks near Land Between the Lakes host long-term campers. "This campground is really designed for the seasonal camper who wants to park their RV and go back and forth on the weekends. There is very limited spaces for the 'transient' or traditional RV," noted a visitor to Indian Point RV Park.
Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds require careful maneuvering. "We needed to maneuver to get out of the site with our running over the railroad tie border. We wouldn't go in there with anything over 38'," cautioned visitors to Birmingham Point Campground regarding the difficulty of navigating the only pull-through site.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities for children: Multiple parks offer swimming options. "Kids enjoyed the playground and the reservoir is really beautiful. We wish the pool had been open... it's still in the process of a renovation. Shaved ice was a nice consolation prize for the kids," reported a family staying at Cypress Lakes RV Park.
Playground amenities: Tanglewood Campground & RV Resort provides facilities specifically for children. "The grounds are well taken care of and honestly very inviting, the people are very nice and have an entire area for kids!" shared a visitor who found the campground family-friendly.
Walking trails access: Some campgrounds offer nature experiences without driving. "There were places to walk around, roads and trails, that one can walk to right out of the campground without driving," noted a visitor who appreciated the immediate access to outdoor activities for restless children.
Tips from RVers
Site size variations: Campgrounds offer different configurations for various RV sizes. "The sites here vary a lot on how close they are to each other. The website states the sites are 50 feet long, which is probably correct," observed campers at Birmingham Point who found adequate space for their 39-foot fifth wheel.
Level sites: RJourney Clarksville RV Resort provides well-maintained pads. "Level gravel pads with good distance between rigs," noted a visitor who found the campground suitable despite some highway noise.
Utility placement: RVers should check hookup locations before arrival. "The water pressure was good at about 50 psi and no issues with the 50 AMP service. We got three bars on Verizon," reported visitors to Birmingham Point Campground who found the utilities reliable for their overnight stay.
