Overview

Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the town of Nancy, KY, the campground occupies a prime spot on a peninsula of Lake Cumberland. The surrounding area is characterized by dense hardwood forests and a winding shoreline, providing plenty of shade and privacy for campers.

The park features spacious sites equipped with 30 and 50-amp electric hookups along with water connections, accommodating a variety of RV sizes. Guests have access to a convenient on-site boat ramp, which is a central feature for those bringing their own watercraft to the lake. Standard facilities include a dump station, bathhouses with hot showers, and a playground for families. The campsites are specifically designed to highlight the woodland setting, often featuring level gravel pads and fire rings for traditional evening gatherings under the stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Boating and fishing are the primary draws here, with Lake Cumberland famous for its premier striped bass fishing and deep blue waters. Beyond the lake itself, visitors can explore the nearby Pulaski County Park or take a short drive to Somerset for local dining and shopping. A highlight for many is the proximity to Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, often called the Niagara of the South, where travelers can witness the rare moonbow phenomenon or hike along the rugged and picturesque Cumberland River trails.
Who This Park Is Best For

granddaughter stayed and everything went good . We have a yearly lot and boat storage at this location. I saw some reviews about Cumberland point that is run by the state on this site. We are off Daws Ridge rd. Very nice place and very quiet. If you are looking for a permanent location this is the place. Shaded and great people camping here.
Danny Ingram
A shady campground like most are slightly too close but overlooking Lake Cumberland with beautiful sunsets.
Martin Rogers
There's not enough parking for boats and there are too many golf carts running around.
Jerry Aleshire
It's small and very nice. Mature trees and real close to the lake. We would come here again.
Chris Davis
We really enjoyed our 2 nights here . Access to the water is easy , boat ramp in campground and this is an out of the way campground run by the Corps. Real nice sites with lake views and clean bathrooms , cell service is spotty but who needs that when you are on the lake .
