Nice spot for a quick hike if you are in the area. Signage is ok - but can be a bit deceiving

Beautiful campground and super friendly employees! Host family was great as well. The best bathrooms that were very clean and a laundry room. Playgrounds and restaurant by the docks. Highly recommend this campground.

One of the nicest state park campgrounds I've ever seen! Sites are level and have large chipped sites. Bath house is clean and well maintained. Nice playground for the kidos, and what seems to be a favorite swimming cove just at the bottom of the hill. Paintsville Lake is also very picturesque. This is what all our state park campgrounds should look like!

Stopped by the lake since I haven't been here in a few years. It's still just as beautiful as the last time I seen it. My husband and I were married here on July 3rd 2008 and we used to bring our kids here to play and swim daily as we lived just up the road. Today it was flooded as it had rained the past few days but I really enjoyed the scenery and ducks.
