A narrow one-lane road leads to Salem Lake for the final several hundred yards, which can create passing difficulties for larger rigs, though RVs up to 35 feet are permitted. Camping is dispersed across an open field, with a porta-potty and trash can on site. No fires are allowed, and a free city permit is required with a two-night maximum stay. Rangers and code enforcement check in regularly. Anglers and paddlers will find direct lake access, and cell service is available. For camping near Hodgenville, this is one of the more accessible water-based options in the area.
