Camping season has begun at most Kentucky State Park campgrounds, although some are closed for upgrades or repairs.

Kentucky State Parks says 19 campgrounds operated by the state are open now through mid-November.

The state park campgrounds that opened for the season on March 13 are Barren River Lake, Big Bone Lick, Blue Licks Battlefield, Carr Creek, Columbus-Belmont, Dale Hollow Lake, General Burnside, General Butler, Grayson Lake, John James Audubon, Kincaid Lake, Lake Cumberland, Lake Malone, Natural Bridge, Paintsville Lake, Pennyrile Forest, and Yatesville Lake. The campgrounds at Lake Barkley and Kentucky Dam Village will open on April 1.

Kentucky State Parks says the campgrounds at Taylorville Lake, Cumberland Falls, Jenny Wiley, Carter Caves, Greenbo Lake, My Old Kentucky Home, and Kenlake will open later in the season as renovations and upgrades at those sites are completed. The campgrounds at Nolin Lake, Green River, and Fort Boonesborough state parks will not open in 2026 due to damages caused by extreme flooding in 2025.

All state park campgrounds have water and electric services, dump stations or sewer hookups, bathhouses, picnic tables, and fire rings. Primitive camping sites are also available. Learn more about the campgrounds at parks.ky.gov.
