Paintsville Lake Campground

John was our first person of contact and he was wonderful! He helped us out and made our day! Thank you sir for your professionalism and kindness!

Nice Campground near the lake. The restroom is all the way at the rear of the campground. $40 per night with electric and water hook up. 2/6/25 stayed in site 2, view of Lake for sunset and sunrise. The tent sites are walk-in sites $25, located up past the heated bathroom with shower. Bathroom is also a storm shelter. But there is 1 bar of cell service at bathroom, versus 2 to 3 bars of service near the entry gate.

Pros: Beautiful park. Playground areas for the kids. Level sites. Park personnel that we interacted with were kind. Cons: Children unattended everywhere. Not paying attention to other humans or vehicles. Screaming bloody murder. Running through others campsites. Quiet hour should start earlier than 11. The leashed dog rule was not enforced (even though it was brought to the attention of park staff). Spotty cell service. We were told WiFi was being upgraded but they ran into an issue. If you love kids and don’t give a darn about being a decent human and respecting rules, you’ll throughly enjoy this campground.

The campground is very nice, the sites are close together but not bad. Bathhouse is kept very clean, hot showers make it great after a day of hiking or biking nearby on the Dawkins Rail Trail. The staff is super friendly and goes out of their way to make sure you feel welcomed. Definitely will choose to stay again in our next trip.

Nice park on the water. Easy to put in water toys..full hookups and some shared spots. Not as big as Jenny Wiley but closer to town. The tent area in the back down the gravel path is an unexpected gem if you like to tent camp...it's gorgeous back there .
