Fishing Creek Campground

Fishing Creek is a first-rate campground set on the shores of Lake Cumberland, a huge reservoir with many arms and fingers. The campground is near the town of Somerset, on the Fishing Creek arm of the lake. As has been the case with many lakeside campgrounds, the Army Corps of Engineers pulled out the stops and constructed a fine place. And they charge for it, too. On arrival you will first notice the above-average play and picnic areas beside the boat ramp leading into Lake Cumberland. A nice swimming beach is located below the picnic area. Beyond the entrance station you will see the campground.
