This is a really good campground. It for the most part are not full hook up but does have a section that is full hook up. It is located on Kentucky Lake and in Land Between the Lakes. They have some small one room cabins that can be rented but do not allow pets in cabins. You are allowed pets in the campground but must be on leash at all times. If you bring a boat they do have two boat ramps to allow access to Kentucky Lake.

Stopped here for water on my way from Birmingham Ferry CG at Land Between the Lakes. Looks to be a great price for showers & camp store. Len, a volunteer who gave me the info. is awesome! Maybe just a bit too packed for my preferences. Senior pass is half off.

I recently camped at Hillman Ferry Campground with some friends, and it was an incredible experience. Despite the sweltering heat, we had a fantastic time. The primitive campsite we chose was perfect for our group, providing an authentic camping experience. The campground is impeccably maintained, with the staff clearly taking pride in keeping it clean and welcoming. We were especially impressed with the amenities throughout the park, which added extra comfort and convenience to our stay. Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in nature or enjoy the park’s amenities, Hillman Ferry Campground is an excellent destination. Looking forward to returning for another adventure when the temps are cooler.
