Russell Springs KOA

Kentucky is a wonderland of recreational areas, and none of these is more scenic than Lake Cumberland; if this is your destination (and it should be), look no further than Russell Springs KOA for your RV camping accommodation. There is no shortage of things to do here, from tennis and volleyball to the on-site swimming pool and the recreation hall, equipped with cable TV and video games for the young ones. If you're part of a larger group, arrange to use the pavilion for your group activities; there's a playground for your young ones and a horseshoe pit and mini-golf course for the families. When you arrive, you'll find restrooms and showers waiting for you to refresh yourself and a camp store where you can stock up on items in preparation for the rest of your stay.

Most of the individual RV sites have full hookups, but a few only have water and electricity; there are a few cabins and a small number of tent sites within the park. Firewood is available if you'd like to begin your stay with a campfire. If you happen to show up just before a holiday, you may be invited to join in decorating the RV campground before the festivities begin. Other events held at this KOA include, but aren't limited to, an annual bluegrass festival and a motorcycle toy run.

Once you're ready to start venturing out beyond Russell Springs KOA, you don't need to go much farther than Lake Cumberland (there is so much here that it's the obvious place to start). If you've never gone horseback riding, this is your chance. There are numerous trails for hiking and mountain biking, tennis courts and mini-golf, and an exercise room for those who enjoy more disciplined forms of exercise. Save the best for last and hit the sauna when your day is done. Keep your RV rental close by, and you can even throw in a home-cooked meal or snack.
