We’re big fans of state parks and Jenny Wiley has a lot to offer. We have stayed at the lodge and the campground. Love the peacefulness and beauty. The hospitality and food are amazing too.

The scenery of lake Dewey and the mountains are amazing. Please. Take the short trip to Prestonsburg and visit the mountain art center. Just the hairpin turns alone makes the trip worth it. The May center has a really good buffet as well.

Located in the heart of Appalachian’s the resort is named for a pioneer women Jenny Wiley who was born in PA she was captured by native Americans and witnessed the murder of her young brother and 4 Children. Also with child and after the birth of that child it was also murdered due to slowing down the journey. The state park is 2,871 acres of camping, hiking, birding, boating, and has a beautiful resort lodge. ,

Absolutely beautiful setting!! The staff was very friendly! I attended a conference during the week there. There were a few hiccups and some small issues, but they were able to be remedied. A lot of the rooms could use some updating. It seems like this state park receives much less funding than some others I have been to.

The rooms are outdated, but quaint. The service at the restaurant was sub-par, but the steak was great! Check-in was easy, but good luck checking out early morning. Apparently they lock up the lobby sometime during the night, so I just stuck my room cards in the door jamb and left. But it is a lovely area with good views of the lake, so I'm not complaining.

Absolutely gorgeous resort. My issue was we didn't get what we paid for. Was suppose to be a queen or king sized bed but we instead were stuck with a full bed. The cabin was connected to another cabin. But other than that it was a good time and experience. Would recommend just make sure you get what you pay for.

This was our 2nd trip to the lodge and we loved it. Food was great, room was nice, and some of the service staff even remembered us from last year. We plan on visiting all of our KY state parks, but we'll definitely be back to Jenny Wiley

Clean, quiet, gorgeous and everyone was so friendly. The price was excellent. Food was perfect. I will bring the whole family next time.

We went out and just looked around a little at the campground, and the May Lodge. The campgrounds have access to showers, restrooms, electric hookups, and water. They allow RVs and also tents. You have to book your stay online. You can't just show up and get a camping spot like they used to do. They play live music and have bands sometimes, and have country line dancing, square dancing, fireworks, different activities at the campgrounds, especially on holidays, like the 4th of July!. It's really pretty out there! Lots of beautiful nature trails to walk on! They also have an area where you have to take a boat to camp, which is really neat! The May Lodge is beautiful! But if you're disabled, you don't have a lot of access to everything, and you do have a few steps you have to go up to enter the lodge. I hadn't been up there in years, and I don't think I appreciated the beauty of nature as much as I do now. It's such a gorgeous place to spend your time, and the lake is awesome! But there's no way I could cover it all in this post! Great place for kids, and adults too! They have a nice big playground! You can ride bikes, play basketball, volleyball, tennis, horse shoes, picnic at the picnic tables and shelters, grill, go fishing in the lake or at the dam, rent canoes, paddle boats, pontoons, have jet skiing! Camping, lodging, rent a cottage. They also have live theatrical plays! I remember going out there when I was a kid, and watched the play of "Anne" and "The Sound of Music." The list goes on and on!, Also pet friendly, indoors and outdoors! I think they limit it to 2 pets. I took a few pictures, of the campgrounds, and lodge. I wish I would've took more, but I had other things on my agenda that day. I'll try to take more the next time. If you love nature, being outdoors, or if you'd like to just try it, I think this is a great place to go!..
