About Russell Springs / Lake Cumberland KOA Journey

It's water, water everywhere when you stay at this campground right next to Lake Cumberland, in one of Kentucky's most scenic recreational areas. Camp here, and it's just a mile to the lakeshore, boat ramp, boat rentals and restaurant. Fishing is great, and so is cruising along the lake's meandering shoreline. Also be sure to visit the area's other key water attraction: Cumberland Falls has been dubbed the "Niagara of the South" and is one of the nation's largest waterfalls. There's plenty more to do in the area - including Mammoth Cave National Park - and plenty to do right at KOA. Play a set of tennis or team up for some volleyball, then cool off in the pool. The recreation hall has cable TV and plenty of video games. Pool: May 18 - Sept. 10. Max pull thru: 75 feet. Your host: Sharon Sackos.
