Tuckaway Lake - Private Camping
5. Tuckaway Lake - Private Camping
27mi from Central City · 1 site · Tent, RV
Escape to Tuckaway Lake, a peaceful outdoor retreat centered around an 18-acre privately owned lake on 50 beautiful acres. The property offers four gravel RV campsites with electric and water hookups. There are no sewer connections at the individual campsites, but an RV dump station is available on the property.
Please note that the access route to the dump station is grass and soil rather than gravel. During or following wet weather, this area may become soft and muddy, making access to the dump station difficult. Guests should contact the host before using the dump station when conditions are wet.
Bring your fishing gear and cast for crappie, bass and bluegill. Fishing is catch and release only. Guests may also swim, hike the property and enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the waterfall flowing from the lake.
There is no lifeguard on duty. Swimming, fishing, hiking and all other outdoor activities are undertaken at each guest’s own risk. Children must be closely supervised around the lake at all times. Diving or jumping from the dock, banks or old pump house is not permitted.
Tuckaway Lake is a natural outdoor property with uneven terrain, changing lake depths and areas that may become slippery. If you’re looking for a quiet place to fish, swim, hike and reconnect with nature, Tuckaway Lake is waiting for you.

Loved the place. So peaceful, quiet and scenic.
Since it was quite muddy because it had been rainy, we stayed at another camp site which had an incredibly beautiful view on the lake, and a small hill behind that made it feel very private.
Hosts were kind, attentive and welcoming, and the domain is well kept and safe. We enjoyed the sporadic company of their dog, and also appreciated very much the clean restrooms and showers. (Yes, also had hot water ) Wifi is also available around the premices, which proves practical if we needed it occasionnally.
Jeffrey’s cliff is a local hike you can do, it about 20 mins away. It was a recommended by the host. Some of the highlights of our stay were seeing a giant owl and also many hummingbirds around the main house.
Highly recomend for peaceful campers that are fond of nature and scenic surroundings.

Chuck and Val were such kind hosts. Tar springs was truly beautiful and the tent camp sights were perfect couldn’t even tell others were around us camping. We were camping 10 ft from the water and we caught some good fish ! Caught a 13 lb channel cat. The bathrooms were beautifully done and such a great amenity would recommend this place to anybody!!

Tar Springs was a totally magical get away fro the city and we cannot wait to return! Van and Chuck were such kind and accommodating hosts- sharing their hatchet, and recommendations for what to do in the area. Even with some rain we were completely dry from a storm, and the facilities were so clean! Such a luxury on a camp out.

Getting away from the hustle and bustle of life and into the most beautiful, sereneful, quiet place to unwind and unstress. Relaxing at your campfire, fishing, watching barn swallows swoop down, blue birds, cardinals. No stress here and definitely come again!! Thank you to our host Chuck and Van for their warm welcome.

As beekeepers we were excited to find Bee Springs Kentucky and Bee Happy Campground. Roomy camping sites though our camper is only 16 feet there were bigger ones there with plenty of room. It was clean and quiet and Christie is very responsive. The clear night sky made for some great stargazing and pictures on top of the hill.

Our family had a FANTASTIC time at Tar Springs 2 with Chuck and Van. What a beautiful place! Everything was so clean and the sites were well spread out. The lake was perfect for fishing and the paddle boats were available for use. With water and firewood readily available it made things very convenient. The guest restrooms and showers were IMMACULATE! We felt so welcomed by them and their lovely pets! We were fortunate enough to be there during their Fall Festival and enjoyed the great bluegrass music in their outdoor stage, the food truck, and the fireworks. Really, nothing is more peaceful than watching the cows roam across the land while you sip your coffee by the open fire. Even with many sites filled, there was still a sense of quiet and being secluded. We really enjoyed this trip and are planning to (at least!) go back in the fall to enjoy the Sacagawea festival in September! Book this. What a beautiful place to rest your busy soul. Thank you, Chuck and Van. We can't wait to see how big the kitties get!

Amazing place. Omg just beautiful. We stayed up the hill under the cliff so awesome. Very very cool place. Gemma and I (that’s my German Shepherd) went hiking around and we loved it. Easy hike either direction but totally amazing-must do. Chuck is very cool, they both super good people and I truly thought the world of them in a matter of minutes. Very clean well taken of property. Facilities were all there and very clean. Probably won’t camp anywhere else unless leaving the state. I have to go back to experience the beautiful lake. Yes my brother and my older son showed up the next day and we a great time, setting around the fire telling stories. Best camping spot around.

Loved this site! We arrived after sunset and our host called and offered us mag lights if we needed them. It is so nice and dark you can see soooo many stars! We arrived and just stargazed for awhile, we stargazed both nights actually. Our hosts were so nice! Super close to Mammoth Cave National Park! It looks like there’s a lot to do in the area, different caves and what not, unfortunately we didn’t have time for all those. I wish I took more pictures too.

I loved camping at the cliffhanger! I stayed with my two dogs. It was quite hot out but our campsite stayed shady and cool! While our campsite was tucked away we were still just a couple minutes walk to a really nice and air conditioned bathroom! The cliffs provided a unique backdrop for our campsite.

The property is very well kept and the scenery is absolutely beautiful! The sites are spread out enough to give a better sense of privacy than most sites I've been to in the past. There is also a full bathroom available that has everything you need to stay comfortable. The sites that I stayed at was sheltered under a cliff that kept me slightly cooler than other sites might've and there and other sites on the bank of the pond that are shaded by trees in the afternoon. The hosts themselves are some of the most gracious and friendly human beings I've ever made contact with and they were extraordinarily accommodating to my entire party. I will absolutely be staying here again in the future!
