"In my opinion the best sites are the boat in tent camping sites down the hill by the lake. The sites also run along a gravel rode that can be used to hike in."
"It's been a few years since I've visited Yatesville Lake State Park Campgrounds but it used to be a staple of my summer. The campsites are a LONG distance from each other."
$37 - $72 / night
"The sites are nice and most have direct access to the creek and beach area. Privately owned so not ruled to death like some state park campgrounds."
"There's a dollar general at the entrance."
$20 - $50 / night
"Campground is located right next to the East Lynn outlaw trails. The owner and staff very friendly and even set us up with a local group to show us around."
"We ride with the WV Outlaws and they take you on awesome trail and creek rides!! Kids love the creeks on hot days they have so much fun!! "
"This place is so pretty its positively photogenic! Monday - Wednesday we had our loop all to ourselves. We were visited by geese, ducks and deer."
"The spots on the lake are our favorites, but are usually first to fill up. You won't be far from the lake wherever your spot is. The full hookup spots are in my opinion most crowded."
$30 / night
"Grayson Lake State Park- East Kentucky. So, we had reservations for Carter Caves, but they canceled on me due to redoing the campground."
"This stunning Eastern Kentucky State Park offers spectacular views of rock formations, tree lined roads, and a stunning lake."
"Didn't appreciate the grill in the next site (thought it was too close to us). We were in Site #8. Not sure what all is around here."
"Just off the highway but no road noise. The employees were helpful. My grandkids loved the mini golf.
The bad…no shade trees. That's the only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars."
"This campground offers a handful of trails easy to moderate. Pretty lake with ducks everywhere, as well as geese. Saw many deer through out our stay, even some beaters."
"I’ve been camping here with my family for close to ten years now and we always have a blast."
$25 - $35 / night
"We tent camped at one of the hike-in (it's a well maintained gravel path) sites at PLSP, #33. This is the first site on your way in."
"Very clean campground, the marina is great and easy access to the lake. We kayak and it was great being that close to the lake and the campsites have plenty of room."
"Nice pool close by and picnic shelters. They now have a disc golf course and plenty of trails. Camp store needs more options and there is WiFi there. Old orchard is the only camp section with WiFi."
"It’s close to home but still a fun camping experience!"
LegendGrayson Lake State Park- East Kentucky. So, we had reservations for Carter Caves, but they canceled on me due to redoing the campground. I was fortunate to find a site at Grayson Lake for Wednesday & Thursday night.
This is a very nice campground at a small state park roughly 10 miles from Carter Caves. Most of it is campground & golf course, with 2 trails.
Grayson Lake has 71 sites with water& electric. There's a dump station. There's 2 playgrounds. 2 bathhouses. They are on the high side of state park clean. I didn't see any spider webs or bugs.
The area was meticulously mowed & clean- no trash at the site or fire pit. The staff at check were friendly & helpful.
We were at site 19 close to the bathhouse. A nice site, but that row had full sun. There were many nice sites, but many had a serious incline. Stay away from site 39 - that has a good view of the wastewater treatment plant!
Grayson Lake is part of a larger area managed by the US Army Corp of Engineers. There's a lot of boating & fishing. We had a good time & if in the area would stay again!
TravelerThis campground is just as I'd hoped--small, clean, and peaceful. The sites are spacious and level. The surrounding hills and lake are gorgeous.
The campground has many full hookup sites. I checked out the bath house: it's the cleanest I've ever seen! Laundry facilities are available. There is a playground for children.
Lots of boating and fishing occurred.
Both the staff and the other campers were friendly and considerate. Quiet hours were observed.
We've already made reservations for next season!
GuideThis campground has some of the largest and best spaces camp sites of any full hookup we have visited. There are great walking paths and biking/ scooter options. Our site was closer to the main road than any other but it was still a few hundred yards away. There is river access and it is close to Shawnee State Lodge and Portsmouth, which had great flood wall murals. The site was very clean but could use more trash cans to keep it that way. There is either a shooting range or someone shooting on their own property nearby that did steal some of the peace Saturday midafternoon but it was only for a few hours and wasn’t close enough to be a big deal.
ScoutMe and my family were here for 2 days and everything about it especially at night it’s really scary would not recommend
ScoutGreat fishing, kind people, and wonderful views ❤️
ScoutThe campground is in a wooded area and each campsite is separate by woods from the nearby sites. There are shower and toilet facilities close by. The campground is located on a lake.
TravelerWe just left and had a wonderful time! Campground is clean, seasonal campers are kind and the views are beautiful! We stayed in site 10 right on the river and the views were great. Lots of green area to play. Huge open field as well by playground. No activities yet this year as the season just started. Not sure if there is enough to do with kids for an entire week but we had fun for the weekend. We had a great hike at a trailhead directly across the street from the campground. Took us a little over 3 hours for the entire loop with a 4 year. He walked almost the entire way so it’s doable and the views are worth it. Overall wonderful campground, we will be back!
ScoutFarver Acres is brand new! Our camper was the first RV to be connected to all the brand new hook ups. Water, electric sewer, and Wi-Fi all work great. It is a very private setting and beautiful views.
GuideThe campground is small. Has a nice dog park. Pickle ball courts Cafe Sky diving right here. The Ohio river is visible. The only real problem comes with the train tracks right here. The trains are close and do blow their whistle for crossing by the office.
