Diamond Lake Resort Campground

Western Kentucky is a fascinating region that doesn’t get a whole lot of press. The area known as the Western Coal Fields, which centers around the towns of Owensboro in Kentucky and Evansville in Indiana have a culture all their own that’s quite different from what you’d find in Louisville or cities farther east. Unsurprisingly, many of the residents work in the coal mining industry, but it’s also a part of the state known for its delicious BBQ, handcrafted whiskey, and bluegrass music. If you’re going to book an RV in Daviess County, Diamond Lake Resort is one of the best places to camp with one.

For a campground at the far western end of Kentucky, Diamond Lake Resort has some excellent amenities to enjoy when you’re camping with an RV there. Sites can include full hookups or just water and electricity depending on the needs of your RV rental. If your clothes get dirty, there are washing machines and dryers available 24 hours a day.

However, one of the most unique aspects of the RV campground is its go-kart track, which can be set up for one or two passengers, making it an excellent family-friendly experience. Adults can also rent one of their “drifter” vehicles, which are sort of like motorized tricycles that go really fast (they also require a driver’s license to use). If that sounds a little too thrilling, they have paddle boat rentals to use on the park’s lake, and small mini-golf and disc golf courses. On some evenings, you can catch a performance at the park’s Good Time Theater, which is actually one of the largest music venues in the county.

If you need to pick up some essentials, there’s a grocery store on the premises that stocks food, ice, firewood, and propane. Don’t feel like cooking? The park has its own restaurant where you can order meals at any time of the day, and the burgers there have been rated as some of the best in the state.
