    Ridgeline Campground — Cumberland Falls State Resort Park

    Small but Nice!

    Easy to find, well marked. It’s has many (12) trails and many falls. Would definitely recommend shopping before camping, it’s several miles, and mountains, to get to stores. There are several lodging options…cottages, The Lodge, (which is beautiful) tent and RV camping. There are 2 small campgrounds ~ 1) Ridgeline which accommodates RVs up to 26”, water and 10/30/50 amp hook ups. Sites have a fire ring and picnic table. WiFi is available, and there is a dump station. A small playground, office/campstore, and a bathhouse and laundry next to it. 3 sites are walk-in. Big rigs would have to stay elsewhere. 2) Clifty Campground is tent camping only 7 sites offer electric and water. WiFi is also offered. There is a bathhouse and a playground, and these CG’s are pet friendly. (Falls Creek is a few miles up the road…they have pull through and back ins. For bigger Rvs. They also have tents, wagons, cabin rentals, and primitive sites) We had no T-Mobile service, or satellite service in our vehicle. The trails and Cumberland falls were awesome. The horse rides looked amazing, and the Pool was big, with a diving board, and a small fee for campers to use it.

    The Farm RV Resort

    The Perfect Getaway: The Farm RV Resort Review

    If you’re looking for an idyllic spot to park your RV and unwind, The Farm RV Resort is an absolute gem. Nestled in a serene countryside setting, this resort offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff who made check-in a breeze. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with spacious, level sites that provide plenty of room for both our RV and outdoor activities. We particularly loved the well-kept grass areas and the full hook-ups, making it super convenient for extended stays. The resort has a rustic charm that makes you feel like you’re getting away from it all, yet it still provides modern amenities. One of the highlights of our stay was the peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding farm landscape, with its rolling fields and calm breeze, is perfect for those who enjoy the quiet outdoors. We spent our evenings watching sunsets, enjoying the fresh air, and even taking walks around the grounds. For those looking for activities, the resort offers a variety of fun options. There’s a cozy clubhouse with games and a small store for essentials, plus a community fire pit where guests can gather and share stories under the stars. We also enjoyed the nearby trails, perfect for hiking or biking. Whether you're a family looking for a relaxing retreat, a couple seeking a quiet getaway, or an RV enthusiast wanting to experience the countryside, The Farm RV Resort checks all the boxes. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning our next visit!

    Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort

    Great base camp for the area

    Great place to stay for Cumberland Falls. Clean facilities. The place is great for any size RV/Camper. I was in a 40 footer. Just a few need to knows.

    • Wireless is unreliable and if there are a lot of people it is unavailable -Limited cell service really only consistent if you walk up to the road, I dont have booster.
    • Only the pull thru sites have sewer taps. All sites have water and 50 amp service though and a dump station is available.

    Pickett CCC Memorial State Park Campground

    OMG! O

    We stayed for a few days and as a backpacker, the local hikes are some of the best I have ever seen! I would say most of the hikes are moderate, although some say easy. Grandma couldn’t leisurely walk, or scale some of the trails, so you have been warned. But for able bodied persons, the hikes are all doable. There are quite the variety of hike lengths to choose from, from short and squatty, to full day hikes. I’ll submit some of my favorite shots below. For RVs - I was towing a 21 ft trailer and my site at the bottom of the hill, which was away from other campers, but the grade was ridiculous! I had 6” of block height to level side to side! I heard other complaints from other longer tongue pullers as well, regarding the difficulty getting into their sites. Most of the sites are small, too close to other campers, or too close to the smell of the privies. But if you are hiking the area, I think the stay could be worth some of the hassle. There is a pull through dump station on the loop. There is electric and water. Tent campers - probably have plenty of room to spread out, some with power hookups and the convenience of showers at a central bathhouse. Daytime picnics - a beautifully large area to choose from and see. Lots of selections, all of them very well social distanced, family friendly and shaded with trees. Soooo much to see.

    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.

    Clinton-Knoxville North KOA

    Quick 1 Night Stay

    We needed a place right off the highway to stay on the way from Raleigh to Kentucky and this fit the bill. The sites were tight but had full hook ups. Staff is super friendly and guided us into our pull-through site. We really couldn't sit outside at the picnic table provided as it was right up against the next campsite and their tow vehicle. As it was mostly rainy anyway, we ended up just staying indoors. The facilities were very well maintained and clean. Good hot shower. There is also a great Mexican restaurant you can walk to right by the campground that the staff told us about.

    Patrick’s Point River Camp

    A great little getaway spot!

    We will absolutely be back! I’ll be honest, as a visibly queer person with rainbow hair I was a bit nervous about the Bible verses and Christian flag due to past experiences, but Patrick and Angelica were welcoming and friendly the entire time!

    The RV spot with shade was great! It’s right next to the bathroom but everyone is spread out enough it wasn’t an issue at all.

    Strong WiFi, pet friendly, and a beautiful, peaceful spot with very friendly owners!


Guide to Stearns

RV camping near Stearns, Kentucky provides access to the Cumberland region with multiple options along the northeastern edge of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Most campgrounds in the area maintain seasonal operations with limited winter amenities between November and March. Year-round options typically reduce water availability during freezing temperatures, requiring campers to use heated hoses or rely on portable water containers.

What to do

Cave exploration: Several RV parks serve as convenient baselines for visiting nearby Mammoth Cave National Park. "We spent our evenings watching sunsets, enjoying the fresh air, and even taking walks around the grounds," notes one visitor about The Farm RV Resort.

Fishing access: Lake Cumberland offers excellent fishing opportunities within 20-30 minutes of most area campgrounds. "Close to State Dock and free transportation from the RV park to the dock. Wooded area and facilities were very good," reports a camper at Lake Cumberland RV Park.

Rural exploration: The historic community of Rugby provides cultural attractions. "It is right behind the Brooks store and less than a mile from Rugby. Both the store and town are a step back in history," writes a visitor at Brooks Corner Campground.

Playground activities: For families with children, some campgrounds feature dedicated recreational areas. "There is an AWESOME playground and pavilion set back in the trees! My grand loved the ropes course," mentions a reviewer at Off The Hook RV Campground.

What campers like

Night sky viewing: The rural setting offers exceptional stargazing opportunities. "Star view on a clear night is awesome due to the lack of nearby city lights," states a camper at Brooks Corner Campground & RV Park.

Convenient site layouts: Many RV campgrounds in the region feature practical layouts for various rig sizes. "The sites are spacious and well-maintained, and the full hook-ups made our stay easy and comfortable," notes one visitor about The Farm RV Resort.

Local amenities: On-site stores provide camping necessities without driving to distant towns. "Very nice quiet, rural campground with full hookups and wifi and General Store/Cafe walkable M-SA 11-5pm," mentions a camper about Brooks Corner Campground.

Seasonal decorations: During fall and winter months, many campgrounds add festive touches. "We had a fantastic stay at The Farm RV Resort in December. The resort's peaceful, wintery landscape provided the perfect setting for a quiet getaway," reports a winter visitor.

What you should know

Limited cell service: Many campgrounds experience spotty cellular reception. "This is very rural so see recommendations for distances to nearest places," advises a camper at Brooks Corner, noting propane refills require drives of 20-40 minutes to Jamestown or Oneida.

Variable water quality: Some campgrounds may have mineral-heavy water. "We didn't notice this the first day, but I started seeing brownish water in our toilet. As we used the water more, it became evident that whatever water is being pumped into their system isn't good," cautions a visitor at Maple Hill RV Park & Cabins.

Staffing inconsistencies: Management presence varies between campgrounds. "Love sandhill RV camp but the groundskeeper there is very rude and Inconsiderate to others," reports one camper, suggesting checking recent reviews before booking.

Winter preparedness: Those camping during colder months should bring supplies for freezing conditions. "We enjoyed crisp walks around the property, and the community fire pit was a great way to warm up in the evening," notes a December visitor at The Farm RV Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Select campgrounds with dedicated children's facilities. "My grand loved the ropes course," mentions a reviewer about Off The Hook RV Campground, which features "an AWESOME playground and pavilion set back in the trees."

Grocery planning: Stock up before arrival as nearby stores have limited selection. "Groceries: Walmart (Oneida40m/Jamestown25), Dollar Trees (Jamestown or near Eglin/Robbins both are ~20m away)," advises a camper at Brooks Corner.

Evening activities: Pack games and outdoor equipment for evening entertainment. "We spent our evenings watching sunsets, enjoying the fresh air, and even taking walks around the grounds," reports a visitor at The Farm RV Resort.

Campground security: Several campgrounds provide secure, family-friendly environments. "[The campground is] safe, quite, family-friendly very clean. The owners are amazing here!!!" shares a visitor at Maple Hill RV Park & Cabins.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional equipment for proper leveling. "It's uphill and was very difficult to level out the RV. Ours like many is self-leveling and it just couldn't make it happen," cautions a reviewer about site selection.

Water pressure variations: Bring regulators and additional filtration systems. "They have a pressure regulator on the water so showering was like a spit bath and took forever to get the shampoo out of my 'short' hair," notes one RVer.

Supply runs: Note distances to essential services before arrival. "Propane is available for 20lbs swap-outs at the local Dollar Trees (Jamestown or near Eglin/Robbins both are 20m away), Fillings at Tractor Supply (Oneida40m/Jamestown~25)," advises an RVer.

Campground amenities: Check which essential services are available on-site. "Camp store needs to be updates with essentials," mentions a visitor at The Farm RV Resort, suggesting bringing necessary supplies.
