Weekend Trip to Cascades at Waterloo

We absolutely love Waterloo, been going for a few years now and keep watching it grow, with new camp sites, creeks, and waterfalls to explore. We normally camp by the pavilion but next time we'll pick out a new spot. Took a ride with Alice and Nathan to see all the new land and camping areas and took a dip in the water at the Beaver Hole... We always have a blast. Alice and Nathan are wonderful people, great host. Definitely a place to book for a vacation!

Weekend Trip to Rustling Pines Campground

Great camp, great amenities, great views definitely equestrian focused. Set up for car camping or RV all of the spots are gravel and mulch except for a couple of primitive sites. Right across the road from a drag strip if motorsports are your thing!

Weekend Trip to Patrick's Point River Camp

Loved our little cabin. Beds where good, cabin was clean, it had all what needed. Host was super friendly and caring. 10 out 10. We will be back for another great stay. Good road around locally for motorcyclest and car enthusiasts to enjoy the sights and curvy roads.

2 nights at Cascades at Waterloo

We had an absolute blast staying at the cliffside site. Plenty of room for the two of us, adequately shaded, with a beautiful view down to the river. We took the trail around the peninsula along the creek, and saw some pretty cool stuff! I counted at least 10 different species of mushroom, and countless vegitation and wildlife. We peeped the other camp sites on our hike, and want to try camping the dispersed sites too. The hosts were fantastic as always. They had a wood pile at the site for us when we arrived, on request. Having the port a potty near by was a plus, and it was clean, stocked, and even had a nice lamp hung for some light. Its a short walk to the waterfalls and those speak for themselves, just incredible. We will definitely be back!!

3 nights at Patrick's Point River Camp

Very relaxing and laid back environment. Easy directions to the camp site, easy access to the river and hiking.

3 nights at Patrick's Point River Camp

Patrick’s point is a very laid back place to RV and tent camp with many options of stay. We were able to book next to the river. We enjoyed fishing and hiking in the area and would have loved to do some kayaking if the weather would have permitted. Maybe next trip 😊👍

1 night at Rustling Pines Campground

A wonderful newer camp completely graveled to accommodate horses. The bathhouse facility is awesome, and super clean We had a fantastic quiet night . Highly recommended. And hope that all campers respect this wonderful campground . Top notch!! Thanks Chris

1 night at Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

We had a good experience camping at Old Stump. The road was definitely a little nerve racking, but Amber had warned us about it and our minivan did fine getting there. Extra signs would be helpful, especially to help figure out the camp sites, but the spot by the river itself was lovely.

1 night at Patrick's Point River Camp

The grounds and shelter we had were great. I wish we had had more time to explore. Clean restrooms, nice showers.

Weekend Trip to Patrick's Point River Camp

Can not say enough praises about this place. Warmly welcomed right away. Some of the best rugged camping we have come across. We will definitely be back!

3 nights at Cascades at Waterloo

Tent camping was AWESOME along the creek!! Beautiful dispersed campsites, gorgeous swimming hole and views!! Alice is a great host, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back!!

Weekend Trip to Waterloo Falls

Loved camping on Alice’s property. It was such a beautiful site, our boys enjoyed exploring the river and swimming next to the waterfalls. We stayed over 4th of July weekend, so it was busy with the day visitors, but they do a great job giving the campsite privacy. The campsite is private, it’s easy to find, and Alice was a great host.

Weekend Trip to Mountainfire!

After having some difficulties with other campsites on Hipcamp, Gavin’s campsite was a lovely little haven. The campsite was private and perfect. Gavin is one of the most considerate and generous hosts I’ve experienced.. Not even 10 minutes had passed and Gavin was already driving down to us to introduce himself and provide us wood for the evening. Great location near Cumberland Falls! Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Wow Mountain Resort

The cave sight was a very cool experience, not to bad to access, and very peaceful. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever. I recommend it to anyone looking to just get away and disconnect for a while.

Weekend Trip to Rustling Pines Campground

The staff at rustling pines was very welcoming and helpful appn arriving I didn’t know the campsite was located in an off road trail very beginner friendly so bring those off road vehicles!! Also the bathrooms were really nice it was comforting knowing that after a long day I could come take a shower. The campsites were well maintained and I liked the privacy of them 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!!

Weekend Trip to Patrick's Point River Camp

The camp site couldn't have been better great accomodations it was so relaxing

Weekend Trip to Mountainfire!

Be ready to expect the most FUN GUY on laurel lake!!! Had an incredible time at Gavin’s slice of heaven, from hearing about the working farm to helping put my boat back on the trailer. Best experience from hip camp so far

3 nights at Patrick's Point River Camp

We loved tent camping right on the river. The shade trees kept us cool and shaded even for July camping. Bathrooms were clean and kept stocked. Patrick and Angelica go out of their way to make sure all is good. We will def be back!

Camping in Lake Cumberland State Resort Park guide

Overview

About

Lake Cumberland State Resort Park just adds to the list of why Kentucky is killing it in the state resort park game. Boundless opportunities for fun can be found. With over 200 species of birds to spot, trails to hike or take a horseback ride through, disc golf and tennis to play, what more could you want? Maybe a game room, indoor pool, or mini golf course? Check, check, and check. Geocatchers: you’ve just hit gold! Numerous catches are on the park just waiting for you. Do we really have to do more convincing?

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lake Cumberland State Resort Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer brings warm temperatures perfect for water activities, though it's also the busiest season. Winters are less crowded but can be chilly, making some activities less accessible.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities accordingly.
