Reservable sites with electric, water, and sewer hookups make The Ole Cornfield a practical base for campers arriving by drive-in or boat along the Licking River in Salt Lick, Kentucky. The campground sits on land that once belonged to the current owners' grandfather, and that history gives the layout an open, field-like character. RV sites are flat and drive-through. Tent sites run along the river's edge, with grassy ground and room to spread out.
Host involvement is a consistent theme across reviews. Staff greet arrivals, escort late-comers to their sites, and drop off fire rings and firewood as part of the stay. The bathrooms and shower facilities draw repeated praise for cleanliness. Campers report the sites are level and well-maintained, with enough space between neighbors to feel spread out. A kids' play area and hammocks are on-site, and the campground is far enough from the road that road noise is not a factor.
River access is central to the experience here. The campground runs an on-site kayak rental and shuttle service, putting guests in on the Licking River roughly three miles upstream for a float back to camp. Fishing spots are available along the bank. As Stacey R. notes, the staff will "shuttle you and a kayak 3 miles up the Licking river." A dump station runs $40. Pets are welcome.
Campers wanting a different setup can look at Cave Run Dam Tailwater to the southeast, or browse campgrounds near Salt Lick for additional options in the area.
