This park provides all kinds of activities for families - hiking, biking, fishing, boating, swimming, and other outdoor activities. It has a rental center if you didn't bring your own equipment. Sites are roomy and shady. Bathrooms are clean and each has a washer and dryer outside. No towns are close by so you need to bring all your supplies or plan to drive for some miles. The park is on Kentucky lake so you can enjoy all the benefits of this huge waterway. Prices seem a little high for a National Recreation Area. If you want to watch TV, bring a satellite dish. It's almost impossible to get stations off the antennae. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Absolutely lovely campground! Sites are large and well-spaced, and their varied positioning looks more "natural" than lining everyone up in a row. Some sites are open, but most wooded, or at least shaded. The campground in general has a park-like feel, without much undergrowth in the woods. I agree with the above poster who said the staff is great - we found them all very friendly and helpful. We got extremely lucky and ended up with a full-hookup waterview site, but even if we had had to settle for less, we would have enjoyed this campground. It's one of the best we have ever been to! If the showers had had private changing areas, we would have rated this a 10 all the way! This late in the season, the campground store was not open, and they were out of firewood, but they directed us to a funky little flea market shop on the road to Dover that sold some. All the full-hookup sites were full while we were there (during the week) but plenty of basic, electric and elec-water sites were available. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Piney is a very clean campground with nice restroom facilities, and boasts some beautiful views of Kentucky Lake. The park is very big-rig friendly, but seems to have several seasonal campers. Dogwood loop is the only loop to offer full hookups, and tends to be hard to get into. It seems to be mainly occupied by the newer, more costly rigs. The LBL area is great for sightseeing and has several historical attractions including a living-history area where people are dressed in circa 1800's clothing and work on a farm. They also have a Buffalo range along the main road where you can stop and watch the buffalo. And, as always, the fishing is excellent. Highly recommended, but I suggest arriving on a Sunday afternoon or Monday morning to get the best sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clean, well maintained campground in the Land Between the Lakes. Staff was outstanding, the most helpful of any campground we've visited, and are on-site 24X7. Sites are assigned when you enter the campground, but you can change before setting up. One thing I liked was that they had a map posted on the check-in building showing all sites that were already full, and readily told you the pros/cons of any site that was still open - as I said, great staff! They also give each camper a flyer showing activities scheduled for the next few days so you can participate in hikes, bands, etc. Interior roads are paved, sites are level and have an ample "living area" of gravel. Most sites are electric only, but water is available throughout the campground; a limited number of sites have electric/water, and a few have full hookups. Shade varies from site to site. Best showers of any campground I've been to; just wish they had private dressing areas. Access to the campground is restricted via a gate - something we really liked - and security staff patrols the campground around the clock. Recreational opportunities within the campground include a swimming beach, fishing pier, boat ramp (lots of boaters!), basketball court and softball field; numerous other activities are available within LBL itself. Paris Landing State Park is 5 miles from the gate, and has an excellent golf course with very reasonable rates. There is a small camp store on-site, and ice, firewood and tick repellant are available 24X7 through the check-in point. Nearest grocery store is a Piggly Wiggly in Dover, 11 miles from the gate; there is a WalMart SuperCenter and Kroger in Paris, about 25 miles from the gate. Good cell phone coverage throughout the campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very clean campground, well maintained even off of the camp sites. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Other campers who seemed to be regulars were very friendly. Very quiet at night. Good activities for the whole family. We will go back many more times for our weekend outings. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a beautiful CG with wildlife all around. The deer seemed to be fairly tame as they wandered about at dusk w/o a seemingly care in the world. I don't agree with the 10's others give for the following reasons. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and virtually all of the 380+ site were taken already. We had a choice of a handful of electric only (30 amp) sites from which to choose or a couple dozen sites with NO hookups. We ended up with site 222 on the Persimmon Loop (30 amp). This turned out to be a great site with shade for most of the day. It was on the outer edge of the loop so we had an open field behind us where the deer, chipminks and turtles roamed. It was 2 sites away from the edge of the water which made it convenient to go fishing. We fished from the bank and caught something on every cast, either a small bluegill or a big clump of weeds. We came across two snakes. One was dead along the main road thru the CG and one was in the water where I was fishing and determined to come ashore despite my protests. Needless to say, I don't like snakes and left immediately when I saw his determination. As for the showers, they were slow to drain and you would be standing in several inches of water trying to get clean. This is a YUK factor for me of the highest magnitude when you consider the number of folks you have been in there prior to you. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a GREAT family campground. I can't believe one review here said it was not. Everyone I know with kids loves to go to this campground. In fact we plan on spending most of our weekends there this spring and summer. There is so much to do. There are lots of paved hiking/bike trails, a sandy beach area, playgrounds, volleyball and softball fields. In the summers they even have activities planned for the kids and music concerts at night. And what makes me feel so great and safe is that everyone that wants to come into the campground has to check in at the front gate and the whole campground is fenced in. There are kids every where on bikes and you just feel comfortable letting them have a little space in this family-friendly campground. Many sites are right on the lake which is just beautiful. It is also located close to many Land Between the Lakes attractions...the Bison Prairie, the Old Homeplace where you can see how things were done in the old days and kids can even try some of it out, Fort Donnelson battlefield, a Nature Station and a Planetarium. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Sites are given on a first come-first served basis-no reservations accepted but, we have never had trouble getting a site since it is so large. I just can't say enough about this campground. It was just a great weekend for our family with three little kids! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Campsites are available on a first-come, first served basis. Nice paved roads with gravel sites. Pets must be on a leash and under physical control at all times. You are required to clean up after your pet for health and sanitation purposes. Fees start at $12 up to $29 for camping shelters a night. Camp staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you in way possible. There are 2 boat launching ramps, and a fishing pier. A herd of deer went walking thru the campgrounds as we were having our coffee. They were beautiful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
