About

Taylor Bay Campground is a small, self-service facility located along Kentucky Lake within Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. This basic campground provides a quiet, off-the-beaten-path camping experience with beautiful lake views and access to outdoor recreation. The campground features designated campsite pads, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, along with vault toilets and trash service. A boat ramp provides direct access to Kentucky Lake for fishing and boating enthusiasts. As a self-service campground, Taylor Bay operates on a simple fee system with no on-site staff. Campers pay using the self-service fee tube or can purchase permits online. The campground offers no water or utilities, so visitors must bring adequate drinking water and be self-sufficient. The remote location and minimal development make it ideal for campers seeking a more primitive experience while still having access to basic amenities. The campground is also part of the seasonal camping program, with some sites available for extended stays.
