Camping near Alexandria, Kentucky
Alexandria sits in Campbell County in northern Kentucky, roughly 20 minutes south of downtown Cincinnati and its river attractions. The area gives RV travelers a rural-feeling base with quick highway access to metro amenities, making it a practical hub for families who want both outdoor time and city day trips.
The closest county park option is AJ Jolly Park & Campground, a 1000 acre park in Alexandria; note that the campground and lake are closed for the 2026 season while the county completes dam repairs, lake dredging, and other infrastructure work, with camping reservations set to reopen in February 2027. Additional choices within an easy drive include Riverfront RV Park along the Ohio River, Tuckers Landing RV Park near the river corridor, and Cincinnati Campsites on the metro side of the state line. For a state-park experience, Kincaid Lake State Park sits near Falmouth in Pendleton County and encompasses 850 acres around Kincaid Lake.
Most sites in the region are back-in gravel or asphalt with water and electric; full hookups are less common at the public parks, so plan dump-station stops accordingly.
Things to do near Alexandria
With AJ Jolly's campground and lake paused for 2026, most on-site recreation shifts to the park's land-based amenities: the 18-hole golf course, disc golf, roughly 20 miles of horseback riding trails, shelters, playgrounds, and the environmental education center all remain open during the repair project. Lake fishing and boating at AJ Jolly are prohibited while the lake is drawn down.
Farther afield, Kincaid Lake State Park offers a 183 acre lake with a 10 hp motor limit, hiking trails, mini-golf, a junior-olympic swimming pool, rental boats, and a 9-hole golf course. Cincinnati day-trip targets from Alexandria include the Newport Aquarium, the Cincinnati Zoo, and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

Northern Kentucky camping runs primarily spring through fall, with limited winter options. AJ Jolly Park's campground and lake access are closed for the full 2026 season while crews repair the dam, dredge the lake, and replace an aging culvert; camping reservations are scheduled to reopen in February 2027. Most of the rest of the park, including trails, shelters, playgrounds, disc golf, and the golf course, remains open during the project, with the ranger station reopening in March and select bathhouses opening in April.
At Kincaid Lake State Park, reservations are accepted from one day to twelve months in advance through the Kentucky State Parks portal on ReserveAmerica. Kentucky State Parks cannot guarantee water availability at campgrounds during inclement weather months when freezing temperatures are possible, so travelers should contact the park directly during those months.
Summer weekends and holidays fill fastest at state parks and along the Ohio River. Booking several months out is advised for waterfront and lakeside sites.

Easy, accommodating, comfy and all around great host and experience. Thank you for making our graduation weekend for our daughter fantastic.
Elizabeth M. - May 2025
Matt was great to work with and the RV was very nice. Would do business with again!

The trailer was easy enough to pull with our SUV and was a comfortable and cozy space for two adults for 3 nights. The A/C worked great and it was way better than tent camping. This was our first time renting a camping trailer and the owner’s first time lending. He was quick to respond to our questions. We would do it again. We used our own bedding and rugs to make it feel more homey for us.

How to book
Reservation systems differ by operator. Kincaid Lake State Park books through the Kentucky State Parks reservation platform on ReserveAmerica, with a maximum window of twelve months in advance, a one-night minimum stay midweek at all parks, and a two-night minimum for arrivals on Friday or Saturday. Longer minimums apply at most state park campgrounds during holiday periods.
AJ Jolly Park uses its own Campbell County Parks booking channel, but camping there is unavailable for the 2026 season; shelter reservations at AJ Jolly and Pendery Park continue by phone through the county parks office. Riverfront RV Park, Tuckers Landing RV Park, and Cincinnati Campsites book directly through their operator sites or third-party platforms; confirm rig-length limits, hookup type, and check-in windows before arrival.
Kentucky State Parks prohibits the importation of firewood from outside the state to slow the spread of Emerald Ash Borer; firewood is available for sale at the state park campgrounds.
What to expect on site
Kincaid Lake trends quieter and more remote. The state park offers RV sites, which are back-in only, along with a tent-only loop set along the lake. Many sites are notably uneven, so leveling blocks are recommended, and cell service can be limited in the state-park interior. Bathhouses at Kincaid include laundry, and the campground sits within walking distance of trails and lake access.
RV parks along the Ohio River corridor, such as Riverfront RV Park and Tuckers Landing RV Park, generally offer full hookups and river views but sit closer to road noise and adjacent commercial land. Cincinnati Campsites serves as a metro-side option for travelers who want quick access to city attractions. Because AJ Jolly's campground is closed for the 2026 season, travelers who normally rely on it should book alternatives well in advance, particularly for summer weekends.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Alexandria, KY
How much does an RV rental in Alexandria, KY typically cost?
Good news, RV rental in Alexandria is one of the more affordable starting points for a Kentucky road trip. On RVezy, towable travel trailers in the area typically run around $90 to $150 per night, while drivable motorhomes (Class B campervans and Class C motorhomes) tend to land between $175 and $300 per night depending on size, age, and season. To score a cheap RV rental in Alexandria, look for weekly or monthly discounts (many hosts offer 10 to 20 percent off), travel midweek, or aim for shoulder months like April or October. Pro tip: book at least 6 to 8 weeks ahead for July and August weekends, when Cincinnati Reds games and Northern Kentucky festivals drive demand up.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Alexandria%2C%20KentuckyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Alexandria, KY?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Alexandria. Kentucky does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement for personal-use RVs under 26,000 pounds, which covers virtually every motorhome and travel trailer on RVezy. You'll need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, with no extra trip to the DMV required. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country along with your home license. That's it, you're ready to hit the Bluegrass roads.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat's included for protection and peace of mind on my Alexandria RV rental?
Every RV rental in Alexandria booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance included, so you can hit the road with confidence. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip, which is a relief for first-time renters. At checkout, you choose your preferred protection level (not the host), so you can step up coverage for a longer Kentucky RV trip. Combined with around-the-clock roadside help, you're supported whether you're parked at A.J. Jolly or cruising I-275.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Alexandria RV booking?
You've got flexibility. RVezy applies its own cancellation policy to every booking (hosts don't set this), and the refund you receive depends on how far out from your trip you cancel. RVezy also makes accommodations in cases like host cancellations, where guests are refunded or offered credits, which matters in Kentucky where spring storms can disrupt plans. The full cancellation details are shown on RVezy at checkout so you know exactly where you stand before you confirm, making your RV camping in Alexandria a low-risk booking.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip from Alexandria, KY?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental in Alexandria. Use the Pet-Friendly filter when searching on RVezy and you'll see only listings that welcome four-legged guests. Once on the road, your dog will love A.J. Jolly Park & Campground right in Alexandria, with hundreds of acres of trails and a leash-friendly lake, plus Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in nearby Union, which allows leashed dogs on its bison-viewing trails. Kincaid Lake State Park in Falmouth is another tail-wagger favorite with shaded sites. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees, and pack a copy of your dog's vaccination records.
parks.ky.gov/parks/historic/big-bone-lickCan the RV be delivered to me in Alexandria, KY?
Yes, RV delivery in Alexandria is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if you're new to RVing. Many local hosts will drive the RV straight to your campground, driveway, or event venue, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. That means no towing, no backing into a tight site, and no figuring out the awning on your own. Common drop-off spots include A.J. Jolly Park, Big Bone Lick State Historic Site, and campgrounds near downtown Cincinnati. Delivery fees vary by distance and RV type, so check the listing or message the host for a quote.
campbellcountyky.gov/272/AJ-Jolly-ParkHow far can I drive on a typical Alexandria RV rental, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got options. Most hosts in Alexandria include a nightly mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 150 miles per night) and charge a small per-mile fee beyond that, while some listings offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for a longer road trip. Check the mileage detail in each listing's pricing section on RVezy. For reference, popular drives from Alexandria include downtown Cincinnati (about 20 miles), Red River Gorge (about 130 miles), Mammoth Cave National Park (about 200 miles), Louisville (about 100 miles), and the Great Smoky Mountains (about 260 miles). Pro tip: estimate your route before booking so you can pick a mileage package that actually fits your plan.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Alexandria%2C%20KentuckyWhere are the best campgrounds near Alexandria, KY to park my RV?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Alexandria start with A.J. Jolly Park & Campground right in town, a Campbell County park with electric and water sites, a lake, and even cabin options. Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in Union (about 25 miles west) offers RV sites with hookups plus the famous bison herd. Kincaid Lake State Park in Falmouth has lakefront sites with hookups. For private parks, check options in Crittenden and south of Alexandria, many with big-rig friendly pull-throughs. Book A.J. Jolly through Campbell County's site and Kentucky State Parks through the official parks.ky.gov reservation system.
parks.ky.gov/things-to-do/lodging/reserve-a-campgroundWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Alexandria, KY?
Late April through October is prime time for RV camping in Alexandria, and each season has its own charm. Spring (April to May) brings highs in the 60s and 70s and blooming dogwoods, fall (September to October) delivers crisp 60 to 75 degree days and Ohio River Valley foliage, and summer (June to August) means warm, humid days in the low to mid 80s, great for lake swimming at A.J. Jolly. Winters get cold with lows in the 20s and occasional snow, so many seasonal campgrounds close November through March. Insider tip: target the last two weeks of October for fall color along Highway 27 and the AA Highway.
forecast.weather.gov/zipcity.php?inputstring=Alexandria%2CKYI've never rented an RV before, will I actually be able to handle this?
Yes, you will, and you're not alone. First time renting an RV is one of the most common scenarios in Alexandria, and RVezy hosts are pros at making it easy. Every booking includes a hands-on orientation at pickup where your host walks you through driving tips, leveling, hookups, propane, the generator, and the bathroom system. You can also message the host before booking with any question, no matter how basic. If you're nervous about driving, choose a smaller Class B campervan or book delivery so the RV arrives ready to go. Pro tip: plan your first night within an hour of home so you can settle in stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360003359753-For-rentersWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RV rental in Alexandria booked on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you've got a flat tire on the AA Highway, a dead battery at Big Bone Lick, or need a tow off I-471. RVezy's customer support team is also available before, during, and after every trip through the Help Center, and your host is usually quick to respond by message for questions about the RV itself. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone before pickup and snap a photo of the RV's VIN.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take the RV across state lines on a road trip from Alexandria, KY?
Absolutely, an RV road trip from Alexandria into neighboring states is one of the best parts of renting here. You're minutes from the Ohio border and within a day's drive of Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Virginia. Popular routes include the Bourbon Trail loop through Lexington and Louisville, the Smoky Mountains via I-75 South (about 4.5 hours to Gatlinburg), and Hocking Hills, Ohio (about 3 hours northeast). Cross-border U.S. travel is allowed on RVezy rentals; just confirm with your host. Note: travel to Mexico is not permitted due to insurance coverage limits, and Canada may be possible with host approval.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Setting a realistic fuel budget is easy. Class C motorhomes typically get 8 to 12 miles per gallon (MPG), Class A motorhomes get 6 to 10 MPG, and Class B campervans get 15 to 20 MPG. Travel trailers don't burn fuel themselves, but your tow vehicle's MPG will drop 30 to 40 percent while towing. Gas prices in Northern Kentucky often run a bit below the national average, so a smart move is to fill up on the Kentucky side of the river before crossing into Cincinnati. Pro tip: budget around $0.30 to $0.45 per mile for fuel on a Class C motorhome rental in Alexandria.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campsite near Alexandria, KY?
Booking early pays off. For Kentucky State Parks like Big Bone Lick and Kincaid Lake, reservations open well in advance through the official parks.ky.gov reservation system, and summer weekends often fill 2 to 3 months out. A.J. Jolly Park & Campground is run by Campbell County and books through its own portal, with peak weekends (Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day) often sold out 6 to 8 weeks ahead. Private parks typically use Campspot or direct phone reservations. Pro tip: if you strike out on a state park, A.J. Jolly often has last-minute openings midweek, and many RVezy hosts can recommend lesser-known spots within 30 minutes.
parks.ky.gov/things-to-do/lodging/reserve-a-campgroundWhat are the local driving conditions like around Alexandria, KY?
Driving here is very manageable. Alexandria sits on US-27 just south of the Ohio River, with easy access to I-275, I-471, and I-71/75, so you can route around downtown Cincinnati traffic if you'd like. The terrain is gently rolling Northern Kentucky bluegrass country, with no mountain passes, and most state routes are RV-friendly. Watch for low clearances under some older railroad bridges in nearby Newport and Bellevue (stick to designated truck routes), and avoid the Brent Spence Bridge during rush hour if you're crossing into Ohio. Winter can bring ice and occasional snow December through February. Insider tip: the AA Highway (KY-9) east of Alexandria is a wide-shouldered route that's great for RV cruising.
transportation.ky.gov/Pages/default.aspxWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Alexandria, KY?
You'll find a great mix. Most campgrounds near Alexandria offer 30 and 50 amp electric, water hookups, and dump stations, with the bigger parks adding sewer connections, Wi-Fi, hot showers, laundry, and playgrounds. A.J. Jolly has a central dump station, plus a lake for fishing and a disc golf course. Big Bone Lick has hookup sites, a museum, and bison viewing. For freshwater fills and dumps on the road, most state parks allow non-campers to use the dump station for a small fee. Pro tip: many Kentucky State Park sites are water and electric only, so plan to dump on your way out.
parks.ky.gov/parks/historic/big-bone-lickWhat features and amenities come standard in an RV rental near Alexandria, KY?
You'll be impressed with what's packed into a modern RV. Most rentals in Alexandria include a queen or king bed, a full kitchen (fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, sink), a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control with air conditioning and a furnace, dining seating with seatbelts, and outdoor storage. Class A and C motorhomes typically sleep 4 to 8 and many include a TV, generator, and outdoor awning. Class B campervan rental Alexandria options are cozier (sleeping 2 to 4) but easier to drive. Wi-Fi is host-dependent: some include a hotspot, others recommend bringing your own. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count and check listing photos to confirm what's included.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Alexandria%2C%20KentuckyWhat add-ons and pickup options are available with my Alexandria RV rental?
Hosts offer all kinds of helpful extras to make life easy. Common add-ons include bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, camping chairs and tables, portable generators, bike racks, kayak or paddleboard mounts, and propane top-ups, usually $15 to $75 each. Pickup is typically at the host's location in or near Alexandria, and many hosts also offer delivery to campgrounds, your home, or even Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) for travelers flying in. Mileage policies and generator hours are set per listing, so review those before booking. Pro tip: ask about a pre-stocked kitchen kit, it saves a store run on day one and gets your Alexandria RV trip rolling faster.
cvgairport.com/How does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Alexandria, KY?
Payment is straightforward and secure. You pay through RVezy's platform with a credit or debit card, with no cash exchanged with the host, and your booking total is broken into clear line items (nightly rate, mileage, delivery, add-ons, protection, taxes). A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment before pickup, typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the RV's value, and it's released after the trip assuming no damage or policy issues. To avoid deposit surprises, do the pre-trip walkthrough with your host, take photos of the RV inside and out, return it on time, and bring it back with the same fuel and tank levels.
