It's official... our website is in the TOP 3 most downloaded sites in the State of Kentucky per our tourism director.  That's no brag, just fact!  Oh well, maybe a little bit of brag.

 

The Meyer's of Holland IN have done it again!  In the 1970's we pulled 13 of them skiing.  Now the grandkids and great grandkids(and some of the original adults) wanted to try again.  This time we had 10 of them up from teens to a 62 year old!

 

Labor Day is just around the corner and after that....

our FAVORITE time of the year!

Check out our amazing rates and peaceful surroundings.  You just cannot beat Kentucky Lake in the fall.  Warm days, cool nights for campfires, great fishing and great rates.  Take some time away from the stress of everyday life and spend a weekend unwinding. 

Better yet, bring your office employees down and relax together.  Time out in the country helps teamwork in the office!  Let our guides arrange a competitive tournament for your group.

 

New in 2011

More 50 amp sites in the campground

More Seasonal campsites

More 30' and 40' boat slips

 

Tom Scott, Sr brought his son, Tom Scott, Jr. to BIg Bear when he was a kid.
