Getting Outdoors

A Paintsville Lake camping trip would not be complete without a day spent out on the lake’s extensive waters. There are countless boat slips and boat launch ramps peppered around the shoreline, making accessing the water a breeze. Anyone RV camping at Paintsville Lake without their own boat can head straight to the fully serviced marina where you can rent anything from fishing boats to pontoons, kayaks to jet skis. Although there is no horsepower restriction enforced on the lake, motorized boaters are asked to be respectful of kayaks, canoes and other non-motorized watercraft on the lake.

Camping at Paintsville Lake
