Kenlake Campground Introduce
Kenlake Campground is a picturesque camping destination located in Benton, KY, offering a mix of natural beauty and convenient facilities. Nestled near the shores of Kenlake, the campground provides a serene environment for travelers seeking an outdoor adventure. With its scenic views, proximity to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, and access to local attractions like the Bison and Elk Prairie, Kenlake Campground is an ideal choice for campers of all kinds.
Our campground features a variety of sites, including those with lake views and electric/water hookups. While most sites are small and close together, some, such as site #65 and #66, offer more space and scenic beauty. The location is particularly advantageous for those who enjoy exploring nearby parks and recreational areas.
Kenlake Campground provides essential amenities, including water and electric hookups. However, please note that utility connections may be farther than described, so it's important to consider site length when booking. Our facilities also include restrooms with limited shower availability, which has been a point of feedback from previous guests.
Kenlake Campground is centrally located between several attractions:
- Land Between the Lakes: Just across the bridge, offering hiking, biking, and exploring historic sites.
- Bison and Elk Prairie: Minutes away for wildlife viewing opportunities.
- Home Place: A nearby attraction worth visiting for its historical significance.
Campers have noted the proximity of picnic areas and frequent pedestrian traffic, which adds to the lively atmosphere of the campground. However, we are currently undergoing renovations and some facilities may be temporarily closed during this period.
Guest reviews highlight both the positive aspects and areas for improvement:
- Positive Feedback: Many guests appreciate the beautiful views of Kenlake, particularly at sites #65 and #66. The location near Land Between the Lakes and other attractions is a major draw.
- Areas for Improvement: Some campers have found the sites tight to maneuver, especially for larger rigs. Additionally, limited shower availability and the distance of utility connections have been noted as challenges.
Kenlake Campground remains a popular choice for those seeking an outdoor adventure with access to natural beauty and nearby attractions. While we work on improving our facilities, we encourage guests to explore the surrounding areas and make the most of their camping experience.

We had site #66, nice view of the lake! Site is really small and it drops off on the three sides. Our trailer is 16 foot and our vehicle had to be parked side ways in front to get it in our site. Water and electric are far away. We had an extension cord, but had to run to Dollar General to buy another hose. Love the location! Just across the bridge is Land Between the Lakes and minutes from the Bison and Elk Prairie. Check out the Home place to the south in Land Between the Lakes. The bathrooms were decent but they are at the top of the hill from us, so we didn't use the showers. Only 3 showers but one was out of order. Two showers for women isn't enough for a full campground. . Over all, the majority of sites are close together and little. Pay close attention to site length when booking. #65 is my favorite, then #66. They both have a lake view and are more spacious.
Electric hookup is more like 100 ft from camper, not 50 as described. Water hookup is just as far away. Beautiful view from our large deck at site 28. Site is very tight to get into. Apparently picnickers are allowed to frequent the campground— more people in and out in cars than campers. Closing next year for much needed renovations. During our visit, everything closed—porta potties.
If you like clean , we’ll maintained places , this is NOT for you. The sites are small, not very level and the bathrooms need work. The electric and water are often pretty far from the pad and you might need extension chords and longer hoses. The State of KY should give more money to these parks to help maintain them .
Our trip was a 15 year wedding anniversary. We stayed at one of the cabins, just as we did 15 years ago and they are still just as clean and well maintained now as they were then. All the staff were so friendly, helpful and gracious. As an added bonus we walked out early one of the mornings to a surprise visitor. HIGHLY recommend this park to all!
Let me start by stating this review is with regards to Kenlake SRP Campgrounds. While my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 6 day, 5 night LBL vacation. As KY residents and taxpayers we were quite dismayed with the disregard by Kenlake SRP Campground staff and their overall regard for the safety and security of registered campers but also the lack of adequate cleaning of the campsites and especially the comfort station (shower house). From trash throughout our campsite upon arrival Sunday afternoon to the overflowing trash and feminine hygiene products receptacles, plugged toilets in the men's side to decaying doorways, unsantitized toilet seats, and filthy shower floors and window "screens" in the "comfort" station, our 6 day, 5 night stay at the Campgrounds was less than satisfactory. Throughout our stay, the comfort station was marginally cleaned only once. And then there's the question about accessibility, yes I realize it's a 50 year old campground which gives its campsites the serene beauty of mature hickories, oaks and maples, BUT as for accessibility at the comfort station there is none. In today's age of federal ADA compatibility by all public facilities, this is not acceptable. For myself, my mobility is less than ideal, but I'm still amblitory, but for those unable to navigate elevated curbs, high steps in and out of the shower stalls, narrow toilet stall walls and doors, Kenlake SRP Campground shower house is not compatiable for those needing accessible facilities. With regards to the safety of registered campers, with the exception of check-in, at no time in our comings and goings through the Campground entrance was our or any of our friends vehicles checked for proper registration tags. With 4 out of the six days, the gatehouse's window blinds drawn closed. On the 6th and final day of our reservation, when we pulled out to depart, I personally spoke with the gatehouse staff to voice my concerns, and was told "that's what happens when we stay full". FULL? During our entire stay, the most sites occupied were 10.
