Camping

The Daniel Boone National Forest offers two types of camping opportunities: developed campgrounds and undeveloped or dispersed campsites located throughout the general forest area. These sites are within easy reach of many of the forests' recreational opportunities.

Learn about campground rules and regulations.

Remember, no camping or firebuilding in rockshelters.

Kentucky law prohibits the consumption of alcohol in public places and prohibits open containers of alcohol.

The chart below gives you a brief idea of the facilities. What is your camping style?

Note: Please contact District Offices in early to late seasons to verify campgrounds are open.

Please remember that camping and firebuilding in rockshelters within the Red River Gorge is prohibited.

Protect our forests. Don't move firewood.
