Best RV Parks & Resorts near Paintsville, KY

553 Reviews

Paintsville Lake State Park Campground provides full hookup RV sites with 50/30 amp electrical connections and water. Most sites feature level fine gravel pads with ample space for larger rigs, including multiple pull-through options for easier access. "Sites are nice and not on top of each other. They are a nice finer type gravel and mostly level. Big patio area with a picnic table and fire pit," noted one visitor on The Dyrt. Additional RV accommodations near Paintsville include Creekside Cabins & RV Park in Louisa with 50-amp service and sewer hookups, Valley Breeze RV Campground in Grayson offering big-rig friendly sites, and Yatesville Lake State Park Campground which features both 50-amp and 30-amp connections along with spacious sites.

Mountain access roads throughout the region can present challenges for larger motorhomes, with several parks requiring navigation through curving two-lane roads. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, cell service varies significantly across area campgrounds—Paintsville Lake has poor Verizon coverage but offers WiFi, while other parks report better AT&T or T-Mobile reception. Most RV parks in the area remain open year-round, though Yatesville Lake operates seasonally from April through October. Dump stations are available at most locations but can become congested during peak checkout times on weekends. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for Paintsville Lake where reviewers noted difficulty securing spots during summer months. All parks accommodate pets with standard leash requirements.

    Greenbo Lake State Resort Park

    It’s pretty nice

    A lot of their sites have full hook up but not all of them. Read the details of the sites when booking. Some of the sites have really steep grades and aren’t big rig friendly.

    Check in was a breeze had out car tags on our post.

    They do have a full-time camp host on site.

    I didn’t use the shower 🚿 house but they do have a couple on the grounds.

    They have a putt putt course but bring your own putter and ball.

    There is Verizon service but it’s spotty.

    They do have WiFi but it’s very slow and not secure.

    Place is very pet friendly. The people we have met here are great.

    Sites are wide but really close together.

    Paintsville Lake State Park Campground

    Nice lake, rec area and campground all nestled together

    Spent the night here passing through. I did make a reservation just in case but there were a couple sites open. Nice, small campground, most sites are back in but there are a few pull through sites. The staff were friendly and the campground seems maintained fairly well. No wifi and Verizon is touchy. Out in the recreation area I had one bar and LTE though the data seemed pretty good. My site was right at the beginning of the campground. Inside my camper I could only get a signal if I put my phone in the window. The signal was good enough to stream and FaceTime but if I took it out of the window I’d lose signal.

    The sites are nice and not on top of each other. They are a nice finer type gravel and mostly level. Big patio area with a picnic table and fire pit. Some of the sites at the front will give you a decent view of the lake, site 18 being the best I believe, I was in site 20.

    It’s open year round according to the website. Not sure how big rig friendly it is and I couldn’t find any information on the website, I’d call first. I don’t recall seeing any 5th wheel or motor homes back there.

    Overall, very nice campground and I would visit again. There is an 1850’s mountain house in the park just prior to the entrance to the campground/recreation area. There is a fee and you’ll have to check the hours. I forgot to take a picture but the song on the gift shop door said certain days by appointment only and I think Friday thru Sunday they were open for a period of time.

    Wildcat Camping and Fishing

    Very Nice Place

    We have been here for a little over a month now. Nice level gravel sites with grass around them. Full hookups 30/50A at each site. Wifi. Could accommodate at least 40+ foot 5th wheels. There is a paylake with small shelter areas, playground, horseshoe pit, game room, community gathering area, store with snacks, drinks, tackle and other items. There are restrooms, but no showers or laundry. Beautiful area. About 11 miles to Paintsville, which has all the stores you'd need. Some closer convenience stores. Johnny and Regina, the owners, couldn't be any nicer. Very good monthly rates. Can receive mail and packages.

    Middle Fork Campground — Natural Bridge State Resort Park

    Middle Fork - Natural Bridge SP

    Just got back from a quick spring break trip to the Red River Gorge. We booked our site in Middle Fork back in January. We had site B024, pull through. Clean campground, nice staff. It is narrow getting down to the site and you can easily miss it as you take the curves of Rt11/Natural Bridge Rd. We have a 37' trailer that took the entire length of the pad. If you pull through with nose facing the river, ALL utilities are on the driver's side/left. 20-30-50 amp plus water hookup. Bring your H20 filter as the 💧 is slightly brown. Pad is asphalt, table and fire ring on small gravel. Bath house has 2 shower stalls, 3 commode, 2 sinks (guys side). There is NO internet/wifi as the the supply line to the campground was cut/damaged 2+ yrs ago. Also, you are in a valley. If wx is clear you might get 2 bars/4G service. My teenagers survived. All the amenities for the park are a short drive or an easy walk. Had a great experience all around. Check out the Gorge Underground and take the SkyLift for an easy climb to Natural Bridge.

    Breaks Interstate Park Campground

    Great Way to Getaway

    The Breaks are considered the “Grand Canyon of the south”. Great mountaintop views, hiking, geocaching, kayaking, paddle boats, a zip line, and seasonal white water rafting all available. A few miles from the campground you’ll even find river access with a sandy beach for summer fun. A wonderful getaway when you want to be away from it all. Several campground sections to choose from with primitive sites to full hookup with electric, water, and sewer. Dump stations are available also. There are laundry facilities and bathhouses (didn’t use either so not sure on condition), playgrounds, picnic shelters, cabins, and inns. Each campsite had a fire ring and picnic table. Spots are definitely not level, so bring a variety of blocks—you’ll need them. No outside lights at the sites so when it’s dark it’s d-a-r-k. Beautiful campground.

    Buckhorn Dam Campground

    Great Family Camground in the Mountains of E. KY

    This has ranked #1 for campgrounds for our family this season.

    Nestled in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, this campground has all the things your family could want to do in nature.

    Check in was super easy and the staff was great.

    The site was very easy to get to.

    We were on site 13 and it was nearly perfectly level from left to right. It had both 30 and 50 amp hookups and water (about 35psi on pressure). Each site has a charcoal grill, a fire pit with a grate for cooking and a large picnic table.

    Our site backed up to the creek and a nice little levee for fishing. You could also go up back the park and fish right at the spillway from Buckhorn Lake Dam. Really fun experience.

    Hands down the best playground for kids we have seen in a campground.

    They had a large bathhouse with super clean bathrooms. Unsure about showers as I use the one in my TT.

    There were horseshoe pits in two locations in the campsite. Several locations to dispose of trash. They also provided trash bags upon arrival.

    Laundry facilities onsite and firewood you could purchase.

    The dump station was clean and easily accessible with a hose for flushing.

    Erica and her husband are the hosts and were so friendly and helpful. We were there over Mother’s Day weekend and they provided coffee juice and doughnuts for Mother’s Day.

    A ton of kiddos for kids to play with and a great area for their bikes, etc.

    We 100% will be back to this campground this season.

    Paintsville Lake State Park Campground

    Couldn’t Ask for More

    Stayed 3 nights. Nice level, large sites with full hookups. Close to many local attractions in and around Paintsville. Only drawback was lack of any Verizon signal. Understand that AT&T and TMobile had some service.

    Lake View Campground — Beech Fork State Park

    Beautiful and secluded

    We visited in the end of October 2021. The colors and the views were spectacular. The drive into the park was very curvy mountain back roads. The site included a fire pit with grill and a picnic table. There was a fair amount of space between sites. Approximately 50-75 feet apart. The bath house was nice but could use a little refreshening. There are many activities including a shooting range, frisbee golf course, swimming pool, playground just to name a few. With Verizon as our service provider no cell signal was available at the park. Overall, we give 3 stars. Minus one star for no cell service and minus another star due to maintenance. Overall, very nice park.

    Breaks Interstate Park Campground

    Nice Campground, Challenging to get to.

    Nice Campground, once you get here. The roads to this amazing State Park are two lane and twisting. We have a 38' 5er and a CrewCab Dually tow vehicle. We didn't have a lot of issues getting here but it is quite mountainous with a lot of climbs to get here. The Park is well appointed and the campsites are nice for a state park. Be careful when choosing a site as some are challenging to get into with larger units. We had a pull through which was big enough for our rig. Sites are gravel and spacious. Fire ring/grill combo provided at each site. Bathhouses were clean and well stocked. Be sure to bring all necessary supplies BEFORE you get here, nearest stores are a 20 minute drive away on crooked mountain roads. Will we return? Maybe for a special event but not for a general getaway
