A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
Fishing Creek puts you on the water quickly: anglers find largemouth and smallmouth bass, Kentucky and white bass, bluegill, crappie, rockfish and walleye throughout the lake, and boaters have hundreds of miles of open water for cruising and water sports. If you need services beyond the campground, Lee's Ford Resort Marina is under 10 minutes away for boat rentals, a general store, a restaurant and lodging, and the Mill Springs Battlefield Park a Civil War interpretive site with exhibits, a gift shop and seasonal reenactments is about 15 minutes by car.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (11,266 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
46 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
