LBL National Recreation Area/Piney Campground

Big campground in the Land Between the Lakes (LBL). Water access is.close to most sites. Have tent only and lots for campers as well as cabins for rent. Found the golf carts a bit obnoxious but clearly lots love them. They have lots of Halloween decorations a that time of year.

Pro: We had a great site on Chestnut loop with a good lake view and an electric hookup. There was a water spigot a few hundred feet away. Cons: The temperature of the showers in the bath house is not adjustable, and it’s set VERY hot. A toilet in the women’s restroom was stuck on and water ran continuously for the 2 days we were there. The RV next to our site was unattended with a radio left on with the volume loud enough for us to hear in our RV during our entire stay. People wandered through our site and parked carts and bikes on our site while accessing the lake. They never asked permission, spoke or even acknowledged our presence. Piney rents golf carts. It was a constant parade of golf carts throughout the campground at all hours of the day and night. My wife was almost hit by a golf cart while walking and the driver yelled at her to “Get out of the way!”. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing camping experience with courteous campers, Piney Campground is not the place.

This is a large Forest Service Campground on Kentucky Lake. Sites are either right on the lake or have a great view. Sites are dirt and are very unlevel, depending on site. We had to move our small motorhome to the middle of the site. Our neighbor had his trailer tongue literally on the ground to be level. Inexpensive, we had electric, great views, early August had lots of bugs at dusk and dawn. Otherwise, they were pretty non-existent. I did have an email confirmation, but the computer has no record of our reservation. So highly recommend printing a copy of your reservation, just in case. Otherwise, a nice spot to stay. We came on a Sunday evening, looks like weekends are pretty busy.

Thanks Piney Campground for letting us stay with you when are other campsite ended up in horror. Jeanne(I think that was her name) was so nice and caring. Very nice Campground they had laundry on site and a grocery store. Beautiful spot on Kentucky lake. The land between the Lakes was Beautiful ❤️

Camped here on Memorial Day weekend, so I expected a crowd and there was a crowd. As many other people have mentioned there are A LOT of golf carts rolling through. It didn’t bother me but keep it in mind if you’re looking for solitude or whatever. Only stayed one night, so we didn’t get to see much of the campground. Our trip was focused more on the LBL attractions. But based on what I saw, you could hang out in the campgrounds for a few days and make a good trip out of it. The bathroom next to our site was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our camp neighbors were great. We’ll be camping here again.
