About
Birmingham Ferry Campground is a rustic, no-frills camping destination situated along the shores of Kentucky Lake within Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Lyon County, Kentucky. This small campground operates as a self-service facility and is perfect for campers who appreciate a quieter, more secluded outdoor experience. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables at each site, fire pits, and trash collection, but campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site. The campground features a boat ramp and day use picnic area, making it particularly popular with anglers, paddlers, and boaters looking to access Kentucky Lake. Campers can enjoy beautiful lake views and a peaceful atmosphere. The facility is accessed via Woodlands Scenic Trace (Forest Service Road 100), and sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations accepted. Birmingham Ferry Campground offers an affordable camping option at $10 per night, with payment by cash or check only at the self-service station. The location provides a convenient base for exploring Land Between the Lakes' 170,000 acres of forests, wetlands, and waterways, with opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, hiking, and other outdoor recreation activities throughout the area.
