I am somewhat a cliche'. I grew up running around barefoot on a farm in Kentucky.
I love writing, art, sunshine, all animals and my incredibly patient husband, who tolerates my "crazy animal lady" side.
Camping out in Kentucky can be an amazing experience, regardless of how you do it. The Bluegrass State has acres of nothing but forests, rivers, lakes, hill, plains, and creeks, just waiting to envelop you in nature. You can take a tent and get in touch with Mother Earth but some prefer the comfort of the familiar, like an RV, which can be easily accommodated. For those that prefer a roof over their head, cabin rentals are the way to go. Whichever route you take, these will be moments memories are made of.
Here are 10 camping spots in Kentucky that will leave a lasting impression.

These acres of incredible beauty in Winchester offer multiple campgrounds with primitive, hookup, and cabin style camping. Tents can be pitched closer to civilization or further away. The forest is vast, so those wanting to get away from civilization won’t have a problem.
With over 20 campsites, electric hookups, cottages, and motel rooms, this Owensboro spot makes for happy campers. Visitors can enjoy pedal boat rentals, swimming, fishing, walking, relaxing, playing mini golf, and then dine at the restaurant.

This is serenity at its finest. Camping with hookups is available, but those that prefer cabin camping will be thrilled. Some of the facilities set right on the lake where you can literally fish from your porch.
The Gorge is known as one of the most beautiful places in Kentucky, though it does have a lot of competition.

Imagine the view from the cabin in this image.
