Campgrounds near Cadiz, Kentucky
Cadiz sits in Trigg County in western Kentucky, on the eastern edge of the Land Between the Lakes region between Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake. The town serves as a practical base for RV travelers because it puts full-hookup parks, state-run lakeside camping, and marina resorts within a short drive of one another. Interstate 24 provides direct access from Nashville and Paducah, and U.S. Highway 68 runs west from town toward the lake.
The closest options for RV renters include Cadiz RV Park in town and Kamptown RV Resort just outside it, both of which offer level, serviced sites suitable for a first-time RV trip. Lake Barkley State Resort Park, located roughly eight miles west of Cadiz on U.S. Highway 68, adds a full-service lakeside campground with a lodge, marina, and golf course on the same grounds.
For travelers who want to stay directly on the water, Moon River Marina and Resort and Holiday Hills Resort sit along the Lake Barkley shoreline and cater to boaters and anglers.
Things to do near Cadiz
The main draw is the water. Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake together form one of the largest inland waterway systems in the eastern United States, and marinas at Moon River Marina and Resort and Holiday Hills Resort rent boats and slips for fishing crappie, bass, bluegill, and catfish.
Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, covers roughly 170,000 acres of peninsula between the two lakes. Families come for the Elk and Bison Prairie drive-through range, the Woodlands Nature Station, the Homeplace 1850s living-history farm, and the Golden Pond Planetarium. Hiking, mountain biking, and horseback trails cross the peninsula.
In town, downtown Cadiz has antique shops, the Janice Mason Art Museum, and small restaurants for a break from cooking at the campsite.

The camping season in this part of Kentucky runs from early spring through late fall. Lake Barkley State Resort Park operates seasonally from April through October, and Kentucky State Parks cannot guarantee the availability of water or other resources at their campgrounds during inclement weather months when freezing temperatures are possible.
Summer is peak season. Highs run into the upper 80s Fahrenheit, the lakes warm enough for swimming and tubing, and marinas, restaurants, and interpretive programs at Land Between the Lakes operate on full schedules. Weekends fill quickly, and there is a 2 night minimum stay on peak season weekends at all parks.
Spring brings wildflowers and strong crappie fishing but also the region's wettest, most thunderstorm-prone weeks. Fall is the quietest and often the most comfortable stretch, with cooler nights, lower humidity, and reliable color through October in the hardwood forest around the lakes.
How to book a campsite near Cadiz
Sites at Lake Barkley State Resort Park are reserved through the Kentucky State Parks system on ReserveAmerica. The maximum reservation window is 12 months in advance to the date, and customers may arrive on a Friday or Saturday and stay a minimum of two nights. Reservations for holiday weekends in summer should be made several months out.
Privately operated campgrounds around Cadiz, including Cadiz RV Park, Kamptown RV Resort, Moon River Marina and Resort, and Holiday Hills Resort, book directly through each property's website or by phone. Availability there is usually easier to secure on short notice than the state park in peak months.
Kentucky State Parks prohibits the importation of firewood by campers from any state outside of Kentucky. This is in effort to help prevent the introduction of the Emerald Ash Borer into the state. Firewood is available for sale in the state park campgrounds.
What to expect on the ground
Sites at Lake Barkley State Resort Park sit under heavy tree cover on paved pads with water and electric hookups and a shared dump station. The paved sites often feature steep grades and drop-offs near the picnic areas, requiring substantial leveling blocks for most RVs. Electrical and water connections are shared between adjacent sites, positioned centrally, so extension cords prove essential for reaching your rig.
Private parks closer to town, such as Cadiz RV Park and Kamptown RV Resort, tend to have flatter, more open sites and full hookups better suited to larger rigs. Waterfront resorts like Moon River Marina and Resort and Holiday Hills Resort sit on the lakeshore with boat access.
Cadiz itself has grocery stores, fuel, a Walmart, and restaurants, so restocking mid-trip is straightforward. The area is in the Central Time zone.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Cadiz, KY
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Cadiz, KY?
An RV rental in Cadiz, KY is one of the more affordable ways to experience Land Between the Lakes. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run about $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes about $175 to $275, and larger Class A coaches about $250 to $400 per night, with hosts setting their own pricing. You can score a cheaper RV rental in Cadiz by booking a pop-up or travel trailer midweek, or by traveling in the shoulder months of April, May, September, and October when lake-area pricing dips. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book on RVezy and message hosts about multi-night discounts before you finalize your Cadiz RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cadiz%2C%20KentuckyWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Cadiz, Kentucky?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Cadiz, Kentucky. Kentucky does not require a Commercial Driver License (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for motorhomes or travel trailers that you'll find on RVezy. You'll just need to be 25 or older and upload a valid driver's license through the RVezy platform so we can confirm your ID before pickup. International visitors should grab an International Driving Permit (IDP) from their home auto club before flying in. That's it, you're ready to head for Lake Barkley.
drive.ky.gov/driver-licensing/Pages/default.aspxIs my Cadiz RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every booking on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the road around Lake Barkley with real peace of mind. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip, which is reassuring for first-time motorhome rental in Cadiz guests. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip (guests select the tier, not hosts), matching coverage to your comfort and budget. Pick the plan that fits, then focus on the fun part: planning your stops in Land Between the Lakes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Cadiz trip plans change?
You are covered: RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and there is a money-back grace period after booking so you can lock in your Cadiz RV rental with confidence. Beyond the grace period, refund amounts depend on how far in advance you cancel. If a host cancels, guests receive a refund or travel credit. Review the full cancellation terms on the RVezy Help Center before booking. The bottom line: reserving your rent-an-RV-in-Cadiz dates is low-risk, so go ahead and grab those summer weekends at Lake Barkley before they fill up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Cadiz?
Yes, your pup is welcome on lots of trips around the lakes. Plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Cadiz, and you can find them in seconds by toggling the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy. Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is famously dog-friendly: leashed pets are allowed on most trails, at Hillman Ferry and Energy Lake campgrounds, and along the shoreline at Lake Barkley State Resort Park. Pack a tie-out, fresh water, and proof of vaccinations. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any breed or size notes so your four-legged co-pilot has a smooth check-in.
landbetweenthelakes.us/plan-your-visit/rules-regulations/Can the RV be delivered straight to my Cadiz campsite?
Yes, RV delivery in Cadiz is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many hosts will tow, level, and set up the motorhome or trailer right at your site at Lake Barkley State Resort Park, Hillman Ferry, Prizer Point RV Resort, or a private lakehouse driveway. Filter for Delivery on RVezy, enter your campsite address, and check the host's delivery radius and fee (often a flat rate plus mileage from Cadiz). They will connect water, sewer, and 30-amp power, then walk you through every system. You skip the towing stress and start your Cadiz RV trip with the awning already out.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cadiz%2C%20KentuckyHow far can I drive from Cadiz on an RV road trip?
Cadiz sits near I-24, making it a great launchpad for an RV road trip from Cadiz to legendary destinations. Nashville, TN is about 85 miles south (roughly 1 hour 30 minutes), Mammoth Cave National Park is around 100 miles east, Memphis is about 220 miles southwest, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park sits roughly 350 miles east. Hosts on RVezy set their own mileage policies, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per night and some offering RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer loops. Map your route, message the host with your planned mileage, and lock in the package that saves you the most.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cadiz%2C%20KentuckyWhere are the best campgrounds near Cadiz, KY for RV camping?
You are spoiled for choice: RV camping in Cadiz is built around two giant lakes and a national recreation area. Lake Barkley State Resort Park offers electric and water RV sites plus a dump station and an on-property 18-hole golf course. Prizer Point RV Resort and Marina on Lake Barkley offers full-hookup pull-throughs, a waterpark, and a marina. Hillman Ferry and Energy Lake campgrounds inside Land Between the Lakes give you forested, waterfront sites with electric and water hookups. Cadiz Family Campground has full-hookup sites near town. Pro tip: book Lake Barkley and Hillman Ferry sites 3 to 6 months ahead for summer weekends because they sell out fast.
parks.ky.gov/cadiz/parks/resort/lake-barkley-state-resort-parkWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip in Cadiz?
Honestly, Cadiz is a three-season sweet spot. Late April through mid-June and September through late October are golden, with highs in the 70s and low 80s, low humidity, and fall foliage rolling through Land Between the Lakes in mid to late October. July and August are hot and muggy (highs near 88 to 90°F with heat index over 100°F), which is fantastic if you're chasing lake days but be sure your RV has strong air conditioning. Winters are mild with average January highs around 42°F and only about 6 inches of snow per year, so cold-weather RV camping in Cadiz is genuinely doable. Book shoulder-season weekends now.
weather.gov/pah/I am a first-time renter, how do I learn to operate the RV?
You will feel like a pro by the end of pickup day. Every host on RVezy provides a hands-on orientation walking you through the engine, slide-outs, awning, propane, water tanks, generator, and dump procedures, so first time renting an RV in Cadiz feels approachable. Many hosts share a printed cheat sheet or short video links you can rewatch at your campsite. On the road, message your host directly through the RVezy app, and 24/7 roadside assistance is one tap away through your protection plan. Pro tip: ask your host to demo the leveling jacks before you head to Lake Barkley, lakefront sites are gently sloped.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have an RV breakdown near Land Between the Lakes?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on US-68, a dead battery at Hillman Ferry, or a tow off the Trace is just a phone call away. Roadside can dispatch tire service, jump-starts, fuel delivery, lockout help, and towing throughout the Cadiz, Eddyville, Grand Rivers, and Land Between the Lakes corridor. Your host is also available through in-app messaging for system questions like resetting a generator or relighting the water heater. Save the roadside number in your phone before pickup and snap a photo of your RV's VIN, you will be back to lake time fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Cadiz RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is fair game and Cadiz is well placed for it. Your RV rental in Cadiz, KY can travel into Tennessee (Nashville is about 90 miles south), Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri, with RVezy insurance coverage valid across the United States. Travel into Canada may be allowed with advance host approval, so message the owner before booking if a cross-border RV road trip from Cadiz is on your radar. Travel into Mexico is not permitted because coverage does not extend there. Popular interstate runs from Cadiz include Nashville, Memphis, and the Great Smoky Mountains; pick a route and go.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I budget for around Cadiz?
Budgeting is easy because Cadiz has flat-to-rolling terrain. Expect roughly 8 to 10 MPG for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C motorhome, 12 to 18 MPG for a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer, and 18 to 22 MPG for a Class B campervan rental in Cadiz. Check current Kentucky pump prices on the EIA before your trip, and note diesel typically runs higher than regular unleaded. Fill up in Cadiz or Hopkinsville before heading into Land Between the Lakes since fuel stations inside the recreation area are limited. Pro tip: stations on US-68 in town usually beat lakeside prices.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near Cadiz?
Book early and you'll get the lakefront site you really want. For Lake Barkley State Resort Park and Land Between the Lakes campgrounds (Hillman Ferry, Energy Lake, Piney), reservations open up to 6 months in advance through Recreation.gov and the Kentucky State Parks system, and Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends literally sell out the day the window opens. For Prizer Point KOA and Cadiz RV Park, 2 to 3 months ahead is usually fine outside major holidays. Shoulder-season weekdays in April, May, September, and October are often bookable just a week or two out. Lock in your dates first, then book your RV.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2991What are driving conditions like around Cadiz and Land Between the Lakes?
Driving an RV around Cadiz is refreshingly easy. The terrain is gently rolling, traffic on US-68 and I-24 is light compared to any big metro, and the famous Trace road through Land Between the Lakes is a 43-mile, well-maintained two-lane corridor built for RVs and tow rigs. Watch for white-tailed deer at dawn and dusk (especially along the Trace and KY-274), summer pop-up thunderstorms, and the occasional Amish horse-and-buggy on backroads near Crofton. Bridges over Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake on US-68 have generous shoulders and no low clearances. Pro tip: keep the RV under 55 mph on the Trace, the wildlife viewing is part of the fun.
transportation.ky.gov/Pages/Home.aspxWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Cadiz?
Most campgrounds around Cadiz are well-equipped for a comfortable Land Between the Lakes RV trip. Lake Barkley State Resort Park offers electric and water hookups, a dump station, hot showers, and laundry. Hillman Ferry has electric and water hookups plus a centralized dump station and bathhouses. Prizer Point RV Resort offers full hookups, Wi-Fi, and on-site amenities. Need to top off fresh water or dump tanks mid-trip? Lake Barkley State Resort Park and Hillman Ferry both have public dump stations. Pro tip: cell service drops inside parts of Land Between the Lakes, so download offline maps and any shows before you leave Cadiz.
landbetweenthelakes.us/seendo/camping/What's actually included inside my Cadiz RV rental?
More than you'd expect. A typical motorhome rental in Cadiz comes ready to camp, with a queen or king bed, bunk options in many family rigs, a full kitchen (stove, microwave, fridge, sink), a bathroom with shower and toilet, roof air conditioning, a furnace, and a dinette that converts to extra sleeping space. Most rigs include seatbelts for 4 to 7 travelers, a TV, and an awning, and many hosts add Wi-Fi hotspots, generators, or solar as add-ons. Linens, kitchen kits, camp chairs, and outdoor rugs are common host extras. Pro tip: scroll the listing's amenities list and message the host to confirm anything specific like a fire pit or kayak rack.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rvsWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect from Cadiz hosts?
Plenty of flexibility. Cadiz hosts commonly offer add-ons like bedding and towel packages, kitchen kits, camp chairs and tables, portable grills, generators, Starlink or hotspot Wi-Fi, fishing gear, and even kayaks or stand-up paddleboards perfect for Lake Barkley. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Cadiz, with many offering RV delivery within 25 to 50 miles, including straight to Lake Barkley State Resort Park or Prizer Point RV Resort. Mileage policies vary by host, with 100 to 150 free miles per night common and some listings offering RV rental with unlimited mileage. Check the listing's Add-ons tab to customize your build.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Cadiz%2C%20KentuckyHow do payments and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Easy and transparent. When you book your RV rental in Kentucky through RVezy, payment is handled securely through the platform, no cash to the host. You will see the nightly rate, service fee, protection plan, taxes, and any add-ons clearly itemized before you confirm. The security deposit is separate from your booking payment, pre-authorized on your card before pickup, and released after the host confirms the RV was returned in good condition. Pro tip: do a quick walk-around video at pickup and drop-off and share it through the RVezy app to help your deposit release smoothly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWill my Cadiz RV rental be ready for cool or cold-weather trips?
Yes, and Cadiz is actually a great year-round destination because winters here are mild, average January highs of 42°F and only about 6 inches of snow per year. Many RVezy listings in Kentucky come furnace-equipped with propane heat, and a good number have heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and 30-amp shore power so you can plug in at Lake Barkley State Resort Park or Cadiz RV Park (both open year-round). Toggle the listing filters for furnace and heated tanks, and ask the host about winterizing tips. Pro tip: a crisp October or November RV camping trip in Cadiz means bald-eagle sightings on Lake Barkley and zero crowds on the Trace.
