Cumberland Point Campground 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 30-acre site and its 30 shaded campsites. Fourteen of these sites are waterfront, making them prime locations for weekend recreation. Cumberland Point 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 entrance and exit roads have a moderate to severe grade.
The campground overlooks the main body of the lake, 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.
The Mill Springs Battlefield Park is just a 20-minute drive from the campground. This historic Civil War site offers interpretive exhibits, a gift shop and driving tour. Special events are held throughout the year.
From Nancy, Kentucky, take Highway 235 south for a mile to Highway 761. Turn right and travel 9 miles to the campground entrance.
We called the people there and we got lied to about the spot was terrible we got told it was on the lake and they where rude. Cute dog tho
This is not the Corps of Engineers Federal Parks Campgrounds. This is a public Resort/Camp. They have a similar Name. This makes for all the confusion. I wanted the Federal Parks Campgrounds.
Love it there to.the hosts are very friendly and the lake is spectacular with surrounding mountains.
Wonderful hostess very clean facility
Would leave a 5 except camping site was very small and hook-ups were backwards to view lake front
Also there was no markings to find the camp site from our direction of travel
Federal camp ground, mostly rv sites, they do have a couple of tent sites. The sites are cozy but well engineered to maximize views and different sizes of camping vehicles. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, trash pole, water, and electric. The boat ramp is steep but works. It has a small dock for one boat at a time to tie to. Two experienced boat launchers can use the ramp at one time. If you are camping there you can have overnight parking for your boat. Red and his wife are the hosts, very friendly and informative. Their dog Dexter is adorable!
