We went here for a family gathering, it was really nice. They had a really nice playground, handicap friendly, water park and a nice picnic area. We didn't camp here but it did seem nice for camping as well.

Nice little campground with great hosts. Convenient to town. Easy in and out. Full hook ups for $25.25 per night with tax. Contact City Hall to get the host's phone number to reserve a spot.

Covered dining areas for groups and parties. Lots of locals and out-of-towners use the RV park and it becomes quite a fun place to hang out on the weekends. Be sure to check it out if coming through the area. Update: they have added a Disc Golf course and a new water/splash zone. Nearby attractions are Cumberland Falls, Cumberland Gap, Walker Park (1st House in Kentucky), and birthplace of KFC in Corbin, KY. Also, enjoy shopping and dining in downtown Barbourville, a 5-10 minute walk from the park.
