Greenbo Lake State Resort Park Campground improvement project announced

Good Sams Club

A campground improvement project at Greenbo Lake State Resort Park is underway and will limit reservations for dates in 2018.

The equestrian sites and 20 primitive sites are being converted to full hookup RV sites.  Another 25 sites are having electric power converted to 50 AMP service.  This project was initiated due to the increasing popularity of Greenbo Lake’s campground and the requests of guests for improved service.

This updating of amenities is part of the Kentucky State Parks’ “Refreshing the Finest” campaign, an $18 million effort to make safety and other improvements at the parks.

Equestrian sites and primitive sites at Greenbo Lake are closed for the remainder of the year.  Other sites remain open through Nov. 1, 2017. The campground will be closed during winter months.

Beginning April 1, 2018, all sites are closed until the park system has a completion date for the renovation project.  Once that is determined, the sites will be reopened to reservations.

Greenbo Lake State Resort Park is on KY 1, 18 miles north of Interstate 64 from the Grayson exit, or 8 miles south of U.S. 23, the Country Music Highway, on KY 1. Greenbo Lake features the Jesse Stuart Lodge, with 36 rooms, and Anglers’ Cove Restaurant. The park has a 225-acre lake for boating and fishing, and 25 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
