Fall Creek Campground is located at 1144 New Fall Creek Road, Monticello and is situated along the shores of the vast Lake Cumberland in southern Kentucky.
Lake Cumberland is the largest man-made lake east of the Mississippi River. Its large surface acreage and over 1,200 miles of shoreline provide a myriad of recreational activities.
The lake has an abundance of largemouth, smallmouth, white and Kentucky bass, bluegill, crappie, rockfish and walleye, making it a favorite among anglers.
Visitors enjoy the 10-acre site and its 10 shaded campsites. All of these sites are waterfront, making them prime locations for weekend recreation. Fall Creek has a day-use area, picnic shelter and public parking. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station. A boat ramp and playground are located within the park.
The campground overlooks the main body of the lake, offering sweeping scenic views. Dense stands of mature hardwoods forest the area, offering pleasant shade and wildlife habitat.
Due to the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, the lake provides varied outdoor recreational opportunities for millions of visitors each year.
The Mill Springs Mill Park is just a 15-minute drive from the campground. This historic mill site offers interpretive tours and grinding on the weekends and holidays, picnic sites and a gift shop. Grinding is at 2:00pm Saturday, Sunday and Holidays. Interpretive tours of the mill are given Saturday, Sunday and Holidays during the recreation season.

We had the BEST time on our family camping trip in Fall Creek Falls State Park. The entire park is so beautiful and full of breathtaking views. The kids had nice playgrounds to play on and lots of space to bike or run and play with new friends. They have all the amenities you'll need. We made so many great memories and can't wait to return and make more.
Stayed in A28. Moved when we arrived from A24 which was much tighter space. Great spot for kid with a nicely manicured power line beside us so we had LOTS of room. Could stargaze there but the “city” kids from suburb Atlanta who always see half lit sky were blown away by the actual amount of stars in the sky from viewing in the center meadow near the bathroom. Bathrooms were nice an toasty and well maintained.
Beautiful Campground! This past weekend was our first time there. We stayed in Campground E. The site was very clean and offered plenty of shade. Plenty of things to do with the family. Hikes, playgrounds, fishing, ropes course, nature center, and the list goes on. The views of the water falls are breath taking. This campground is well taken care of!! We'll definitely be back.
