    Wilson Creek Recreation Area contains five primitive campsites along a small creek near Green River Lake. All sites allow pets with a picnic table and fire ring at each site. The grounds include pit toilets that are cleaned daily, trash cans at each site, and routine patrol by officers throughout the night for safety. Camping sites are situated in a shaded wooded area where both tents and hammocks can be set up. Pets must remain leashed throughout the campground. The toilets can become unpleasant during hot weather, prompting some campers to bring air fresheners. Wood for campfires is limited within the forest area, so bringing firewood is recommended.

    The campground is a short walk from Green River Lake where dogs can access the water. The gravel beach at the end of the road provides a cooling-off spot for both pets and owners during summer months. Old four-wheeler trails surrounding the campground have been converted to hiking paths ideal for dog walking. Campers should note that as of October 2023, Wilson Creek Campground was closed permanently by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and transferred to Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources control. Future openings will be determined by KDFWR. Other nearby pet-friendly options include Holmes Bend Campground which offers both primitive sites and water hookups across its 100+ sites, and Pulaski County Park where pets are permitted in tent, RV, and cabin accommodations from April through October.

      Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

      Waterfall and trails are nice, but the sites aren’t level

      The sites here are not level. We used our normal 2x green blocks for the Jack, but needed all 10 of our leveling blocks, plus 8 paving stones to get the appropriate height.

      Despite advertising, there is no dog park. There are a ton of dogs, so this would’ve been nice.

      The river and waterfall makes it feel like a tranquil place. The walking trail by the river is nice, we walked it almost every day.

      Live music and food trucks every Saturday are a nice touch!

      Renfro Valley RV Park

      Mt Vernon, KY…It was OK

      We arrived at 3 pm on a Friday and stayed 2 night. Have yet to see any employees. Our paperwork was ready and on the board in the front of the building. Sites are roomy, however the roads and sites could use updating. They go from paved to gravel. The laundry room had 3 washers with only 1 working. 2 dryers with only 1 working. We stopped twice for propane but the office door was always locked. They do have a playground for kids and a cute teepee. A small dog park. There was absolutely nothing level on any of these sites.

      Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

      Cummings ferry campground

      Small park restrooms and showers. Very clean. Nice pool. Camp store offers basics. Fairly close to shopping groceries etc. staff was friendly 30/50 amp service didn’t count the number of river view sites. But quite a few. Some sites have 20 X 12 elevated decks. Full hook ups. Pet friendly. Was very quiet the week we stayed. Didn’t feel like bringing the camper home so payed for another week and drive back the following week. Cell service. Isn’t the best WiFi was available if I remember. Correctly rates were reasonable

      Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

      Cute but small

      We decided to go down for a weekend to see how we'd like it. It's situated high up on the Kentucky river bank which is nice but there's little access to the riverbank except from the floating dock and boat ramp. When we arrived there was left overs from the previous flood which made it very muddy. It's definitely dog friendly but with no trails to really walk them on. We found a game trail that took us down to the riverbank at the end of the campground and found a goat hanging in a tree from the previous flooding. Perfect campground for partiers who don't respect quiet hours and those who stay at their camper the whole time.


    Guide to Liberty

    Green River Lake State Park Campground accommodates pets at all camping sites, with both tent and RV locations featuring electric hookups, water access, and designated pet walking areas. Holmes Bend offers similar pet amenities with over 100 campsites that welcome dogs, though pets must remain leashed throughout the campground. Campsites at Wilson Creek Recreation Area provide primitive pet-friendly camping with picnic tables and fire rings, though reviews indicate this facility permanently closed in October 2023. Most campgrounds maintain standard pet policies requiring leashes no longer than 6 feet, proper waste disposal, and restrictions on leaving pets unattended.

    The hiking trails at Pikes Ridge provide excellent pet exercise opportunities with water access points along Green River Lake for dogs who enjoy swimming. CampFire Ridge RV Park offers spacious sites with full hookups in a country setting with fields and woods that give pets room to explore. Staff performs daily cleaning of facilities at Holmes Bend, including playground areas where wildlife like deer and turtles are commonly spotted. Campgrounds typically don't provide specialized pet amenities like washing stations or designated dog parks, so visitors should pack all necessary pet supplies. Some sites offer limited shade, particularly important during summer months when providing shelter for pets becomes essential for their comfort and safety.
