Twin Knobs Campground

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Nestled on the shores of Cave Run Lake, this camp is part of the larger Twin Knobs Recreation Area. There are more than 200 sites spread out over 10 loops under a dense forest of mixed conifer and deciduous trees. The recreation area includes two reservable group picnic areas, and group camping is also available. Summer amphitheater programs and scheduled campground activities provide family fun and entertainment. The campground has volleyball courts, basketball hoops and horseshoe pits, plus a boat ramp and beach. Popular lake activities include fishing, swimming, motor boating, windsurfing, sailing and water skiing. Scenic foot trails include the 2.5-mile Twin Knobs Shoreline Trail and the 1.5-mile Knob Overlook Trail. Sites vary, and include paved spurs that can accommodate any size RV, picnic tables, fire rings and grills. Some sites have electric hookups. Facilities include bathhouses with showers, drinking water and flush toilets. The bathhouses and some picnic areas are accessible. The Daniel Boone National Forest embraces some of the most rugged terrain west of the Appalachian Mountains. The forest lies within the Cumberland Plateau, where steep forested slopes, sandstone cliffs and narrow ravines characterize the land. Cave Run Lake is in the Cumberland District in the northernmost part of the forest, surrounded by the rolling hills of northeastern Kentucky. The Morehead Office Visitor Center offers information about the Daniel Boone National Forest along with interpretive exhibits. A popular attraction within the forest is the Red River Gorge Geological Area, which features more than 100 natural sandstone arches.
