Kentucky Lakes / Prizer Point KOA

If fishing in groups, competitions, or just on your own is what you're looking for, then the RV campground you need is Kentucky Lakes / Prizer Point KOA on the shores of Lake Barkley near Rockcastle. This family-friendly RV park has a marina where you can rent a boat and access the waterway that connects to Kentucky Lake and the Cumberland River. Even if fishing isn't your cup of tea, you can still enjoy your stay with amenities such as basketball and volleyball courts, a horseshoe pit and soccer field, a giant chess set, and much more. There are pedal carts and golf carts to help you get around the campground, a floating restaurant serving three meals a day, and a Kamp K9 for your pets.

From the moment you arrive, you can relax and slip into vacation mode. The park has Wi-Fi so you can stay connected and cable TV channels in case you just want to zone out. You can refresh yourself with a swim in the camp pool, take a shower in the restrooms, or catch up on your laundry in the park's laundry facilities. There are a playground and a jumping pillow for the kids, weekend theme parties, and movies during the summer. RV site options include full hookups or water/electrical hookups only, and premium patio sites; some of the sites are seasonal, and some have tent camping.

When you're ready to start venturing out a bit farther, Kentucky Lakes / Prizer Point KOA is directly across the water from the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. Southeast of the campground in Dover, Tennessee, you'll find Fort Donelson National Battlefield. A Civil War battle was fought here in February of 1862, that ended when Confederate troops surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant. A national quilt museum, one of the largest of its kind in the world, is located in Paducah and also has other fiber arts too. If you appreciate pearls, there are a freshwater pearl farm and museum located along the Tennessee River. Guided tours of the farm are available, or you can browse on your own after watching a short video.
