The Campground at a Glance

A paradise for camping, fishing, boating, and lazing by the water.

Lake Cumberland is a paradise for camping, fishing, boating and just lazing by the waterside. Reconnect with nature, your family, and friends — camping is one activity where all ages can reconnect with each other and with the basics of life. Cold air, dark night, warm fire, bright stars. Life is simple here.

Central to the park's layout is our Welcome Center with a well-stocked convenience store, an efficient laundry facility, and sparkling clean shower and bathroom facilities.
