About

Gatlin Point Campground is a primitive self-service facility situated in the scenic Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area along Kentucky Lake. This small campground caters to campers seeking a more rustic experience with basic amenities and excellent lake access. Each designated campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilet facilities and trash service provided. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis using an iron ranger self-pay system. Campers select their site, complete a fee envelope with cash or check, and deposit it in the fee collector at the entrance. The nightly rate is $10 per site. The campground is accessible via Woodlands Scenic Trace (Forest Service Road 100). Gatlin Point offers a peaceful setting for tent camping, small RVs, and campers who enjoy fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. The on-site boat ramp provides direct access to Kentucky Lake, and the adjacent day-use picnic area offers additional lakefront recreation opportunities. Campers should come prepared with their own drinking water and supplies, as no water or hookups are available at this primitive facility.
