Paducah / I-24 / Kentucky Lake KOA

Kentucky is renowned for its outdoors, both the cultivated and undisturbed versions, and if this is what you're looking for in a vacation, look no further than Paducah / I-24 / Kentucky Lake KOA. This RV campground is uniquely situated very close to numerous attractions but has many of its own amenities that you can take advantage of. The park has a dedicated fishing pond (no swimming allowed) that is stocked and ready for you, and a nearby gazebo if you'd rather relax and watch someone else reel them in; if fishing isn't your thing, there is a seasonal swimming pool that is open from late May to late September, a play area for younger kids, and a dog park for your furry family members.

You can choose your site before you arrive, and the options include full hookups or just water/electricity, and 30 or 50 amp service. Camping at Paducah / I-24 / Kentucky Lake KOA means you have a camp store where you can stock up on anything you might be short on; propane is available, and there are laundry facilities in case you're running low on clean clothes. The moment you arrive you can freshen up with the showers located in the restrooms, catch up with friends back home using the Wi-Fi or just kick back and enjoy the evening sky (Kentucky has some amazing sunsets, as you will find out).

Ready? There's a lot to see and enjoy, and you don't need to venture that far to begin with. Have you ever been to a drive-in movie theater? Nearby Calvert City has one of these, open on weekends during the summer and dishing out cheeseburgers that are incomparably good.

The list of museums on hand is a long one, but one of the attractions is dedicated to horse-drawn carriages; another is focused on the local history and culture of quilting. Paducah is where you'll find the Whitehaven Welcome Center which offers city tours daily in the early afternoons. This friendly hamlet has continuous events such as fireworks and concerts on the riverfront, and a downtown area with museums, quaint shops, and more, all housed in distinctive 19th-century architectural buildings. Viewing these events from your rental RV would be idyllic.
