Overview
Paris Landing State Park is a premier destination located on the widest part of Kentucky Lake. Spanning 841 acres along the western shore, this park offers a serene escape for RVers who appreciate the natural beauty of Western Tennessee. The park expertly balances outdoor recreation with modern comforts, providing a reliable and scenic choice for those seeking a mix of relaxation and regional activity. This park is widely recognized for its beautiful waterfront views and its historical significance as a landing spot for Tennessee River steamboats.
Location & Surroundings
Conveniently located off Highway 79 in Buchanan, TN, the park is perched along the historic Tennessee River. The surrounding landscape is dominated by vast water vistas and dense hardwood forests that change beautifully with the seasons. Its strategic location provides quick access to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, a sprawling inland peninsula famous for its diverse wildlife populations, including elk and bison, and its extensive network of backroads and water access points.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground at Paris Landing offers 45 RV sites featuring water and electrical hookups with both 30 and 50-amp service available. Guests have access to essential facilities including modern bathhouses, a laundry area, and a convenient dump station for self-contained units. For recreation within the park, families can enjoy the playground and a seasonal swimming pool. Each site is designed to immerse travelers in the woods, typically providing a picnic table and a fire ring for evening gatherings under the stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The park is a haven for water sports, specifically trophy fishing and boating on the massive lake. Visitors can utilize the full-service marina for boat rentals or spend a day at the 18-hole championship golf course located right on the property. Nature lovers will enjoy the scenic hiking trails, such as the Caswell Walker Trail, which offers opportunities for birdwatching and photography amidst the rolling hills. The nearby town of Paris also features a popular replica of the Eiffel Tower for a unique photo opportunity.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location is ideal for active families and retirees who want a resort-style experience within a natural state park setting. It is particularly well-suited for anglers and golfers who desire immediate access to the lake and the links. With sites accommodating rigs up to 38 feet, it is a perfect match for mid-sized travel trailers and motorhomes looking for a well-maintained waterfront retreat that offers more activities than a standard rustic campground.

We took our Grandkids to this park for the weekend. The Nature Center was great.Park Ranger Jordan made it fun for the grandkids. She assisted our large group of 10 kids and 6 adults with crafts & activities. She let the kids rub the snake. All while teaching them about animal safety and park safety. Ranger Jordan was so great with her delivery, the kids did not realize they were actually learning, while having fun. Make sure you check out the Nature Center, Ranger Jordan was Great

I stayed in RV spot #2 for 3 nights towards the end of October. It was very quiet and not very busy. Site was almost level. I might not choose this site in the summer due to lack of shade and being next to the volleyball net etc. It was a short walk to the marina and to the trails. The raptor trail is a pleasant, easy one, about 2.55 miles out and back. I didn’t go inside the lodge & restaurant but the building looks very nice from outside.

The lodge was very well planned a great view from every room. Beautiful resort. The restaurant on-site, was five star.

Paris Landing State Park is a lovely spot with so much to offer. The view of the moon over the lake at night and the stunning sunsets make it truly serene and beautiful. The park provides plenty of activities like fishing, golfing, and more, making it a versatile destination. The nearby Paris Eiffel Tower is a charming bonus, adding a unique touch to the visit. The view of Kentucky Lake from the hotel room was absolutely breathtaking. The front gate staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious—definitely a place worth staying at for a relaxing and memorable getaway.
