Green River Lake - COE/Pikes Ridge
Overview
Pikes Ridge Campground, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, offers a serene retreat on the shores of Green River Lake. Located just outside Columbia, KY, this park is known for its quiet atmosphere and scenic views. It provides a classic camping experience where nature takes center stage, allowing visitors to disconnect while staying within reach of the water.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated on a peninsula, surrounded by the clear waters of an 8,200-acre reservoir. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills and dense hardwood forests that provide ample shade for many campsites. Because of its layout, many campers enjoy direct shoreline access, making it easy to transition from a morning coffee at the site to an afternoon on the lake.
Amenities & Park Features
Travelers will find over 50 campsites, many equipped with electric and water hookups suitable for various RV sizes. The facility includes a convenient boat ramp for easy water access, a dump station, and a bathhouse with hot showers. Families often appreciate the on-site playground, while the spacious grassy areas between sites offer more privacy than typical commercial RV resorts.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Boating and fishing are the primary draws, with the lake being famous for its muskellunge and bass. Just a short drive away, the city of Columbia offers historical charm and local dining. For more land-based recreation, visitors can explore the hiking and biking trails at the nearby Green River Lake State Park or visit the Emerald Isle Marina for boat rentals and supplies.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for anglers and boaters who want to be as close to the water as possible. It is also a perfect fit for RVers who prefer a rustic, natural setting over a luxury resort vibe. If you enjoy quiet nights under the stars and days spent exploring Kentucky's waterways, Pikes Ridge provides the peaceful environment you are looking for.

I've gotta say I'm pretty impressed of how big the lake is and how well its stocked with fish. Tons of deer amongst the campgrounds and nice Bathrooms and showers. Very clean and nice. They've even have the Sheriff's come through towards the evening to make sure everything and everyone is ok and happy. We will be back. Thanks for the great memories.

We’ve come back every year for last five! We have six kids under 12, they all swim well but it’s so easy to keep an eye on them in the beach area. We can’t say enough about the wonderful new bathhouse renovations! EVERYTHING there is so clean from fire pits, campgrounds, playground, beach and bathhouses. There are 4 family friendly rooms that offer ADA accommodations and such a friendly staff!

My family has been visiting here every year since it opened. I have a ton of good memories here. Watched it go from just a primitive campground to one that has electricity and a new shower house. Which makes it ten times better than it already was. Look forward to coming back every year.
