About

Kenlake State Resort Park's campground is situated on the western shore of Kentucky Lake in Marshall County, Kentucky. This established campground features 87 sites, including 85 standard electric sites and 2 tent sites. The campground is part of a full-service state resort park that includes a lodge, cottages, marina, dining facilities, and tennis courts. The campground is located in the heart of one of the nation's finest outdoor recreation areas, just minutes from Land Between the Lakes, a 170,000-acre National Recreation Area. Kentucky Lake offers 182 miles of shoreline and outstanding fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, and catfish. Many campsites offer views of Kentucky Lake. Note that this is a 55-year-old campground with smaller sites that may not be suitable for today's larger RVs. Sites have shared electrical hookups with adjacent sites, and water and electric service are several feet from the site requiring extended hoses and cords. The park operates in the Central Time zone.
