Russell Springs KOA Journey

It's water, water everywhere when you stay at this campground overlooking Lake Cumberland, one of Kentucky's most scenic recreational areas.

It's water, water everywhere when you stay at this campground right next to Lake Cumberland, in one of Kentucky's most scenic recreational areas. Camp here, and it's just a mile to the lakeshore, boat ramp, boat rentals and restaurant. Fishing is great, and so is cruising along the lake's meandering shoreline. Also be sure to visit the area's other key water attraction: Cumberland Falls has been dubbed the "Niagara of the South" and is one of the nation's largest waterfalls. There's plenty more to do in the area - including Mammoth Cave National Park - and plenty to do right at KOA. Play a set of tennis or team up for some volleyball, then cool off in the pool. The recreation hall has cable TV and plenty of video games. Pool: May 18 - Sept. 10. Max pull thru: 75 feet. Your host: Sharon Sackos.

We love this campground! Owners are friendly and fair to all guests. Quiet and set back away from noises. Our kids love the open play areas. A big plus is the annual bluegrass festival In August. As an older campground, there are improvements that the owners are making annually. Know that there are narrower roads, but the A loop (I think) for overnights are open and all have concrete pads for outdoor living. We use grocery delivery bc Kroger is about 20 minutes away. Dollar General is also about 10 minutes away and there is some good local country kitchen food. If you boat/fish, this is the perfect location and one of the only campgrounds close to a marina. Two launches within approximately 1.5 miles! We’ve recommended this to so many people, and not a one has been disappointed. Some have brought campers, others have stayed in cabins. Highly recommend!

My wife and I wanted to quick weekend get away to unwind. 5 Stars for the staff, the campground, and location. I was very impressed by how helpful and responsive the office staff was to any question or issue my wife or I had. Outstanding customer service.! The RV site was clean, level, and shaded. The bathrooms and office area was very clean and organized. Would highly recommend this location for any camper, RV, Trailer, or tent! Make sure to find the "Rock House", it is hard to find, but worth the effort. If you need to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the Wells store has the best hamburgers and chicken wings. Highly recommend.
