Campground Review: Hillman Ferry At Land Between The Lakes, Kentucky
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Our most recent outdoor camping trip took us to the Hillman Ferry campground down in the Land Between The Lakes region of Kentucky. Hillman Ferry is a huge campground, with 380 sites! But even though they have so many, they are still good sized sites – you won’t feel like your neighbors are on top of you! And, I really didn’t see many bad sites in the entire campground. Most all of them are shaded and flat – what I look for in a great site!
C21 - Our campsite - see the water rising?
We chose lot C21. The water in the lake had been rising steadily all week and the campsite next to us ended up under water, but the campground monitors it closely and had closed the site before we even arrived. Fortunately our site was on a little higher ground, but even so, after we left they were going to close the site until the waters receded.
There is plenty to do at Hillman Ferry. In addition to the great fishing, (they have a fish cleaning station on the premises – and hubby caught enough fish for two or three dinners!) they have a sand beach, a basketball court, (which occupied many hours of DS’s time) a volleyball court, and an archery range.
