    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.

    A nice campground for families and rock climbers!

    This big campground is a hidden gem near Red River Gorge. The road getting to the campsite is mostly one lane so is you are in an RV, go slow. The area for RV's is a little tight in the trees and probably won't accommodate an extremely large vehicle. However, there is a huge open field on further into the camp that should be fairly easy to turn around in. The huge field is available for tent campers, but these are primitive sites with no water/electricity. The improved sites with water/electricity are closer to The Pavilion and Shake Out Lounge. The Pavilion is a great place to gather and talk with friends or enjoy the big campfire next to it. The Shake Out Lounge has a tv, free wifi and free books to borrow. There is a bathhouse with toilets and showers. There are 2 locations to obtain firewood on the campground. They also sell ice. There is not a store on site, but a short drive up the road there is a general & grocery store that also sells fresh made sandwiches. There are cabins to rent. The cabins are tucked in the trees and are very cozy. The cabin we stayed in on one of our visits, had a queen bed, kitchen area and bathroom with a shower. Plenty of trees to hang a hammock, as well. Some of the cabins overlook the beautiful lake. The lake is perfect for swimming in and has a dock and life jackets for campers use. The gravel/dirt road getting to the lake is steep, so I recommend walking down to the lake. Fishing is allowed with a permit in the lake. There are hiking trails and dogs are welcome at the campground. Overall, a great campground for individuals, friends and families.

    Ride Royal Blue ATV Resort and Campground Pioneer, TN

    RV Heaven for ATV/OHV/SxS Camping!

    Approximately 4 miles off of exit 144, from I~75. Easy to locate, and a well maintained RV campground! Website has all the info on the different types of sites, cabins and ATV’s. Resources for permits, pricing, and other requirements are also listed. The trails are accessible from the CG. FHUs on Back in and Pull-throughs,bathhouses, on site fishing pond, playground, and Ohhh yes….the ATV wash station! General store is on the right from the entrance, which is awesome! They sell firewood and ice, as well as extreme OHV sporting equipment/gear, snacks, souvenirs….to list a few. Rental cabins are available nearby, for larger families or groups. I believe they thought of almost everything! I would love to come camp here in the fall, as I can imagine that the views are spectacular! They provide WiFi, but my T-Mobile reception was good, at 3 bars.

    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!

    Wonderful experience!

    Stayed three nights here, price was perfect and each site had electric hookup with picnic table and fire ring! Sites were closer together but still enough privacy if it’s not busy season. Shower house was clean and water was hot, everyone on site was kind and respectful, and it was close to trails and attractions in the area! Will be visiting again and would highly recommend to others!

    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;)

Guide to London

Cabin accommodations near London, Kentucky range from lakeside units at Holly Bay with peaceful lake views to the tiny cabins at Lago Linda Hideaway. Elevation in the region varies from 900 to 1,700 feet, creating varied terrain around cabin sites. During summer months, cabins provide shelter from humidity levels that often reach 70-80%, while winter temperatures typically drop to the low 30s.

What to do

Lake activities at Holly Bay: Visitors can access Laurel Lake directly from the campground for swimming, boating and fishing. "Really nice campground. The sites are very spacious. We stayed 2 days but definitely would go back for longer! Only a half hour to Cumberland Falls which is also a must see!" notes Sonya A. from Holly Bay.

Hiking trails near Blue Heron: The Big South Fork area offers extensive trail networks through varied terrain. "Whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking await in the big South Fork of the Cumberland River. There are miles of hiking and horse trails through the picturesque countryside," reports Bryan R. from Blue Heron Campground.

Rock climbing access: The Red River Gorge area provides numerous climbing opportunities with cabins serving as base camps. "Really loved staying here- close enough to the beautiful hikes and climbs of the area, and far enough to feel really private and woodsy," explains Lena L. about Lago Linda Hideaway.

Zip line adventures: Adventure seekers can try zip lines at Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort. "They offer many different activities through their company, such as electric bikes, white water rafting, zip lines, and tubing," mentions Heather K. about the resort's options.

What campers like

Spacious, private sites: Many cabins provide ample space between units for privacy. "We were in the nicely shaded loop and had more then enough room to set up and visit with each other. My site was big and level," reports Shelly S. about her stay at Corbin - Laurel Lake KOA.

Waterfront views: Cabins near lakes offer scenic settings with water access. "Awesome campsite. Large, private and very wooded lots. We got a double lot. Electric and water on site. Clean bathrooms with showers in walking distance. Stunning views. Great hiking paths. Bring you boats, bikes, kayaks, fishing poles and bathing suits. The water is fantastic!" shares Marlene V. about Holly Bay.

Year-round availability: Some cabin accommodations remain open through winter months. "The full kitchen, bathroom, gas fireplace heater and loft w/three beds made for a comfortable stay. Then there's the porch overlooking the little lake," notes Shelly S. about her experience at Lago Linda Hideaway.

Proximity to attractions: Many cabins provide convenient access to regional highlights. "Only a half hour to Cumberland Falls which is also a must see!" mentions Sonya A. about Holly Bay's location.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Weather affects cabin camping experiences year-round. "Since it was so warm, we took a dip in the lake. I will say we found a few lone star ticks on our dog. Always do your tick checks!" advises Lena L. from Lago Linda Hideaway.

Cabin amenities vary widely: Facilities differ significantly between locations. "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," explains Joshua L. about Falls Creek Cabins & Campground.

Internet connectivity limitations: Cell service and wifi can be unreliable in cabin areas. "Our Verizon cell signal was terrible and the campground wifi was not much better. No cell or wifi service would probably keep us from staying here again as it was impossible to get any work done," notes Jessica L. from Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort.

Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites require advance booking. "Check in was nice. Kind staff. Clear directions. Escorted to our site. Trash pickup nightly at 5," reports Scott H. about the Corbin - Laurel Lake KOA experience.

Tips for camping with families

Family-friendly cabin options: Multiple cabin styles accommodate different family sizes. "We were in the cozy cabins which are directly behind the wagons. Cozy cabin 2 had air conditioning, a full size bed and bunk bed. Really quaint but a perfect way to camp without being too expensive," shares Heather K. about Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort.

Kid-friendly recreation areas: Some cabin sites include dedicated play spaces. "We also had very sweet neighbors. The kids asked if we could stay here again as we left!" writes Evanna T. about Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort.

Beach access for swimming: Lake beaches provide safe swimming areas for children. "Great beach access. Quiet and very clean," notes Lee-Ann R. about Pulaski County Park, which offers cabin rentals.

Multiple bathroom facilities: Clean restrooms enhance family camping experiences. "Bathhouse; showers are so outdated and barley cleaned and just gross," warns Julie B. about Pulaski County Park, highlighting the importance of checking bathroom conditions before booking with children.

Tips from RVers

Access road considerations: Some cabin areas present challenges for larger vehicles. "The entrance to the campground is surprisingly steep," notes Fred T. about Renfro Valley KOA, information relevant for those towing trailers to cabin sites.

Site leveling needs: Terrain can affect parking at cabin locations. "Our sites A little uneven and took me some time to get my camper level," shares Joseph C. about his Corbin - Laurel Lake KOA experience.

Hookup availability: Electric and water access varies by location. "Sites are level and pretty spacious, if not some a little tight together. The restroom was nice and clean," reports Casey L. about Blue Heron Campground.

Cabin alternatives: RV sites provide options when cabins are unavailable. "The layout of the park is also confusing at times. I've been there several times and just recently found another parking area and trailhead," explains Shelly S. about navigating Pulaski County Park.
