Kendall Campground is located at 80 Kendall Road, south of Jamestown, Kentucky, just below Wolf Creek Dam, which forms beautiful Lake Cumberland.
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.
Kendall Campground offers visitors convenient access to a cold water trout stream, making it a popular fishing destination. The stream is well-stocked with rainbow, brook and brown trout.
Whispering Pines Trail, located within the campground, is a non-strenuous trail approximately half a mile long.
The campground is a multi-use recreation area, consisting of 70 acres and 116 reservable campsites, all of which have water and electric hookups.
Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring/grill and lantern post. A group day-use picnic shelter with water and electric hookups is available as well.
A boat ramp, fish cleaning station, basketball court, horseshoe pit, hiking trail and playgrounds are located within the park.
The campground overlooks the river, offering sweeping scenic views. Dense stands of mature hardwoods forest the site, offering scenic views, pleasant shade and wildlife habitat. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, the lake provides varied outdoor recreational opportunities for millions of visitors each year.
Wolf Creek Dam National Fish Hatchery is within walking distance of the campground. It is open year-round and offers free tours to the public and an excellent Environmental Education Center. Click [here](http://www.fws.gov/WOLFCREEK/) for more information.
Lake Cumberland State Park is just 6.5 miles from the campground. This beautiful park offers fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mini golf, disc golf and boat rentals. Birders enjoy the park for its exceptional viewing prospects of raptors, songbirds and waterfowl.
Grider Hill Marina and Resort is 25 minutes away, with boat rentals, a restaurant and general store.
Jamestown Marina & Resort is 25 minutes away, with boat rentals, a restaurant and general store.
State Dock Marina is 8 miles away, with boat rentals, snack bar and general store.
From Jamestown, Kentucky, take US Highway 127 south for 10 miles and turn right just before crossing the dam. Campground is on Kendall Road.
Visited for our first time in the campground. Checked in on a Friday for a weekend stay. Site 81 was amazing. Ample space for 2-3 vehicles. Grounds appeared to be kept and host/groundskeeper was seen out and about greeting guests and checking on people. Lots of fishing spots within walking distance. Playgrounds impeccable and bike riding for little ones is good! Visited the hatchery too!
Only cons were:
more signs for knowing exactly where to enter would be nice.
Site does not have water access of any kind, without walking on a trail. We saw a few who had instant water access. Will return!
Come here to the campground every single year! Absolutely freaking love it!!!
Heavily wooded, multiple loops, asphalt roads, gravel level sites, 2 bathhouses, 2 dump stations, walk to National Fish Hatchery and Visitor Center.
Great place to camp. Lots of trees and water to fish...Staff are all super friendly!
Nice and clean campground. Great place to camp fish and friendly people running it.
