Best Cabin Camping near Liberty, KY

Several state parks and private campgrounds within driving distance of Liberty, Kentucky provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Lake Cumberland State Resort Park offers cabins with electricity, heating, and full kitchens, while Renfro Valley KOA features cozy cabins with air conditioning and basic furnishings. Hidden Ridge Camping Lodge provides more secluded accommodations with picnic tables and fire pits. Most cabins include electricity and climate control systems, with some offering full bathrooms and kitchenettes. According to one visitor at Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort, "Cozy cabin 2 had air conditioning, a full size bed and bunk bed. There was a counter, microwave and mini fridge. The cabin was very clean and bug free."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. Pet-friendly options exist at several campgrounds, including Holmes Bend and Blue Heron Campground in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. KOA cabin camping locations typically remain open year-round, while state park cabins often operate seasonally from April through October. Family-sized log cabins accommodate larger groups at Falls Creek Cabins & Campground, which one reviewer described as having "lots of good options for all levels of cabins." Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer months when waterfront cabins fill quickly. Most facilities enforce quiet hours and have specific check-in procedures.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely from basic microwaves and mini-fridges to full cooking setups with stoves and refrigerators. Visitors should pack food supplies, cooking utensils, and personal items, though some locations like Lake Cumberland State Resort Park have on-site restaurants and country stores. Firewood is available for purchase at many campgrounds, but matches and fire starters should be brought from home. The nearest full grocery stores are typically 20-30 minutes away, with Columbia and Somerset offering the most comprehensive shopping options. Bear-resistant food storage containers are provided at some locations in Daniel Boone National Forest where wildlife is active.

    Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort

    Easy accessed, good sites/cabins, good amenities

    This campground is conveniently located near Corbin, KY. It sits right off the main road on the way to Cumberland Falls. There are plenty of signs and it is well marked, easy to find. When you pull in the gravel road, the main building and check in area is easily recognized and there are plenty of places to park. Check in was easy and fast. The store has a pretty big selection of camping items, clothes, food, accessories, shoes and snacks. There are also souvenirs. Just outside is the White Dog snack bar. A pretty nice menu with burgers, hot dogs, ice cream and fries. There is also an 8 unit restroom between the snack bar and main building. The restrooms are air conditioned and were always very clean and well stocked. Directly behind the snack bar is the circle of covered wagons with a fire pit in the middle of them. These were really cool looking and seemed like a fun way to camp. We stayed in the cozy cabins which are directly behind the wagons. Cozy cabin 2 had air conditioning, a full size bed and and bunk bed. There was a counter, microwave and mini fridge. 3 stools, a broom, clock, lamp, garbage can, ceiling fan and an electric fire place. Really quaint but a perfect way to camp without being too expensive. Electricity but no running water. There is also a small porch with 2 chairs and side table. A ceiling fan on the front porch is nice. There is a fire pit and a separate raised grill for cooking. The cabin was very clean and bug free. It’s walking distance to the restrooms but the wagons are closer. We walked around the RV and other camping sites as well. The RV sites we saw, were pull through sites and seemed very roomy and easy to get in and out of. The entire campground runs slightly downhill but overall offers flat sites. There are nice, shaded tent sites and an open, sunny area for group camping. The zip line runs from the entrance of the campground and runs over the group camp area, ending just beyond it. There are 2 zip lines available for different age groups. They offer many different activities through their company, such as electric bikes, white water rafting, zip lines, and tubing. We did the rafting and tubing. The rafting was fun and a great way to introduce beginners to the sport. The rapids were not too wild and none of us fell out of the raft. There were several areas to jump out and swim and that was fun. At the end of the rafting, a boat picks you up and you eat lunch and take a boat ride back to the bus. To get to the tubing, you have to drive yourself and it’s an hour drive to get there. The tubing trip lasted about 2 hours and was not very fun. The water was very still and basically we just barely floated down the river in the hot sun. There were 2 areas with small rapids but they didn’t make up for the rest of the still water being boring. We also got separated from our group. By the time we made it to the take out spot, everyone else had gotten out of the river and the shuttle left us behind. We waited for about 10 minutes and decided to start walking back to where we got in the water. After a while, the shuttle came back and saw us. He stopped and picked us up but ultimately felt this was dangerous as we were in the middle Daniel Boone Forest, alone, walking on the road. I would NOT recommend the tubing. It was not worth the money or the drive. If I was reviewing just the tubing experience, I would give 1 star. Everyone at Sheltowee were nice and professional. Our guide, Free (yep, that’s his name), was nice and funny and knowledgeable about the river. If we go again, we would request him again. We would definitely camp here again and recommend it to friends. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because of the tubing experience and the fact that it was not clear, when the reservation was made, that the tubing was 1 hour away.

    Falls Creek Cabins & Campground

    Clean, friendly, 5 minutes from Cumberland Falls

    Clean, friendly, reasonable staff with lots of good options for all levels of cabins, camp sites, RV spots, etc. We went with a large group and had people staying in each of these and all were happy. We recommend the Eagle Falls Trail to view the Cumberland Falls and Eagle Falls without the crowds.

    Blue Heron Campground — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    Small and quiet

    The campground has all of the glamping necessities. Water hook-up, electrical, dumping station, clean hot water showers, etc. It's pet friendly and the campground is very clean. The location is excellent for those who love rock climbing (sport and trad), easy and moderate level hiking, white water kayaking, or maybe want to spend a day or two also doing some backcountry camping. There are bears and other curious wildlife so make sure to keep your stuff in the provided bear boxes!

    Blue Heron Campground — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    What are you here for?

    Alum Ford Big South Fork Recreation Area is in my top 10 favorite areas.

    I try to participate in the Yamacraw Trail Run every year because it is just AWESOME, and this area is part of their route due to the excellent scenery of the area.

    If you like trees, hills, streams, falls, historical markers, old cabins and history , plus not much use of modern technology when you camp then you will thoroughly enjoy Big South Bend! If you are a bring the kitchen sink kinda camper you might wanna find a nearby KOA or other type campground.

    The campground has no signal, no electricity, no showers, no host. Just you, a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring. Oh, and there is one pit toilet. Bring 5$ cash for the honor pay station and your hiking shoes and watercraft. There is a Trailhead at the back of the 6 site campground and a boat ramp down the hill.

    The sites are well maintained and old , probably CCC built with wood steps leading up or down to your site. There is no direct access to the boatramp but there is a short trail that connects the sites to the boatramp that runs along the cliff face down to the ramp.

    The trailhead is part of the Sheltowee Trace Trail and connects to the Yamacraw Bridge. You could easily stage a multi day backpacking trip from Alum Ford to take in the local sights.

    Not far up the road is the Yahoo Picnic Area. I think it used to be a campground just by the way it’s set up. Picnic tables on pads and a nice old pavilion for groups with a grill. Past that Yahoo Falls. This is a technical, moderate trail down to the tallest falls in Kentucky. Also a very old area but maintained with newer restroom facilities. The loop trail was approximately 1.5 miles long with a metal staircase on one side and trail on the far side. This is also part of a thru trail. Get you an old fashion paper map before coming cause your fancy electronic gear may or may not work here.

    This is one of many areas through the Kentucky/Tennessee Big South Fork if you are able plan for an extended stay to check the whole place out;)

    Blue Heron Campground — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    Pure gold for such an inexpensive price

    I think lots number 712 and 13 are the best because they are situated right around a beautiful pond with massive lily pads and dragonflies. It is about a 20 minute drive to a local store or a save a lot when we forgot some groceries. The trees are mature so there is plenty of shade and lofty space between each lot. We are on a paved site surrounded by gravel picnic table light post and fire ring also with a food storage bin to keep out the bears! It gets quiet! It gets dark! For $20, it is unbeatable. :-)

    Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort

    Probably great in the summer

    This was a one night stop on our way to Ohio. The property is nice and the sites are spacious. Didn't really like the placement of the fire ring. Had we used it, we would have been listening to our neighbor's music most of the night. We had a W/E site. Our Verizon cell signal was terrible and the campground wifi was not much better. The sites were gravel but were level. We didn't use the showers but they looked clean. The laundry room had only 1 washer and 1 dryer. The playground is best suited for toddlers. The dump station would have been convenient if we were dumping on the way in, but not placed well for dumping upon departure. They did have a zip line and a gem mining station for an extra cost. It was secluded enough that there wasn't a lot of road noise at night. It seems like it would be a nice enough campground during the summer. For the price paid for the site, it would have been nice to have included some of the extra activities. No cell or wifi service would probably keep us from staying here again as it was impossible to get any work done. Be sure to check out the Birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken. We didn't get to go inside the cafe(COVID), but we did have some photo ops outside.

    Holly Bay

    Great Campground in a great National Forest!

    Holly Bay is a great campground in the beautiful, but not very well known Daniel Boone National Forest. The campsites are semi-private with a fire ring, electricity, water (at each campsite), lantern pole, bathrooms and bath house. The campground is also on a lake with several good hiking trails around. I highly recommend it this campground!


Guide to Liberty

Cabin camping options near Liberty, Kentucky span across Daniel Boone National Forest and Cumberland River watershed areas. Most cabin rental locations sit at elevations between 700-1,200 feet, contributing to moderate temperatures even during summer months. The region receives approximately 50 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush forest conditions around cabin sites.

What to Do

**Fishing access: Columbia's central location offers quick trips to both Green River Lake and Lake Cumberland. At Pulaski County Park, "You can put a boat right in at their little dock as well. The lake view is gorgeous," notes Anna C. The park maintains two separate boat ramps for easy water entry.

**Hiking trails: Explore multiple trail systems around cabin rental areas. "The trails are varied and pretty cool. They twist and turn and cross creeks and hill tops," reports Shelly S. about Pulaski County Park. Many trails interconnect mountain biking routes that range from beginner to advanced difficulty.

**Swimming options: Several cabin locations include lake access with designated swimming areas. According to Lee-Ann R. at Green River Lake State Park Campground, the "campground is surrounded by lake" with "a beach for swimming and playgrounds for the kids."

What Campers Like

**Diverse cabin options: Cabins range from rustic to fully equipped, with varying price points. At Holmes Bend, Thomas R. reports that "some sites only have electric at the higher numbers but there is a station to fill your tank with drinkable water." The campground maintains separate water station areas for filling containers.

**Winter availability: Unlike many camping areas, some cabin rentals remain open year-round. According to Carol at Green River Lake State Park: "We rented a cabin during the off-season and our cabin was cute - very old fashioned." She notes the indoor pool remained open even when other amenities closed.

**Wildlife viewing: Many cabin locations feature common wildlife sightings. Thomas R. from Holmes Bend notes, "Walking around you will find wildlife. Lots of deer and turtles and birds." Some cabins back directly to forest areas where wildlife observations are more frequent.

What You Should Know

**Varying shower facilities: Bathhouse quality differs significantly between locations. Julie B. from Pulaski County Park warns, "Bathhouse; showers are so outdated and barley cleaned and just gross," while Kenny P. at Holmes Bend reports clean "bathroom, shower house and playground are available."

**Seasonal closures: Confirm which amenities operate year-round before booking off-season stays. Carol from Green River Lake mentions, "We found out quickly that everything was pretty much closed, including the main lodge restaurant that we had hoped to eat at." Call ahead to verify operating status.

**Cell service considerations: Connection quality varies by location and carrier. Ron B. from Holmes Bend specifically notes "cell service Verizon & AT&T Service 3 bars" but warns this depends on "above or below hill in camping area."

Tips for Camping with Families

**Multiple play areas: Look for cabins near playgrounds and recreational facilities. At Renfro Valley KOA, Tiana K. shares that "kids enjoyed the pool, Gaga ball, playground, jumping pillow, and passport activities." Most family-oriented cabin areas maintain multiple play options.

**Educational opportunities: Some cabin locations feature nature programs and learning activities. Katie M. from Pulaski County Park mentions "several shelters you can rent for different events" and "several play ground areas close by for the kids to play."

**Beach access cabins: Waterfront cabin options often book earliest. Lee-Ann R. describes Pulaski County Park as having "great beach access. Quiet and very clean." Reserve waterfront cabins 4-6 months in advance during summer.

Tips from RVers

**Site leveling challenges: Some cabin areas with RV options present leveling difficulties. Beth H. from Holmes Bend cautions that "some spaces and turns would be tight for larger rigs." Specific cabin areas often have more level sites than general camping areas.

**Electrical connections: Check power requirements before booking. Brian from Renfro Valley KOA warns about electrical issues, noting that when they plugged in "it recessed back into the unit and difficult to plug into." Bring extension cords when staying in cabins near Liberty, Kentucky.

**Access road conditions: Some cabin locations require navigating steep or narrow roads. Bethany W. cautions about Renfro Valley KOA: "Big hill to get up to the KOA. Almost all paths are gravel." RVers should check access routes before attempting mountain cabin locations.
