Fern Lake Campground

Staff was very friendly. Tent area was flat and grass with water and a fire pit. Nice and quiet. Lake was more of a pond though.

Very close to I-24, about 1/2 mile from interstate -- just through first traffic light and on right. Owner has several pull-through sites for overnight guests. Sites typically are filled so that no one has to unhook and can also leave easily the next morning. Despite proximity to interstate, the campground is very quiet. It is surrounded by rows of evergreens that screen out sound and sight, making it a restful place to stay. There also are several old oak trees within the campground that also contribute to the setting. We were led to our campsite by the very friendly and helpful owner who chatted with us for several minutes after we had set-up. We did not use the bath house during our stay, only the available 50-amp service. I would not hesitate to stay here again, whether overnight, or longer.

Deanna was great, quick checkin and then she showed us our site. Full hook ups and no need to unhook truck for 1 night. Site was very level so that made it easy. Big trees all around which cuts down on any noise. Nice fishing lake in back, that’s where I would want to park for extended stay. Bathrooms are the cleanest we have seen on this trip.

This was a well kept campground. Easy to access with our camper, clean and very quiet. The lake is pretty and there is a field, lots of places to walk your dogs. Very little shade/trees in gravel parking area but would definitely camp here again.

We liked this campground even though we were in a less attractive part because we were only here one night. We visited the town of Paducah and found it very charming. Must see the wall of murals! Manager of park was very helpful with tourist spot info and road conditions.

We booked our one night stay a month in advance as we were going north to visit the grandchildren.
Arrival and check in was straight forward and we were given a site with a strong internet connection. But Oh! what a site; dusty gravel, road noise, no picnic table, no fire pit, close neighbors. Hook ups as expected. We might as well have parked at Walmart.

Great spot for an overnight, the host greeted us and assisted with backing in. We had a nice spot under a huge oak tree on the lake. Very clean & the grounds were well kept, tidy & very nice. Super clean showers & bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!

Reservations were easy with a simple phone call. Although we arrived at 6:30 pm the manager said they live on site so that wasn’t a problem. Check in was super easy. The manager guided us to the site and helped us position for best access to the utilities. The site was gravel and was level side to side. The sites are close to each other with little cover but that doesn’t matter as this is likely to be just an overnight stop for most. One of the few campgrounds I have encountered with excellent free Wi-Fi. Antenna reception is good for NBC and PBS. Cell service is 2 bars LTE. They have a fire ring at each site. There is a bathhouse with laundry and showers which are clean. Everything is in walking distance. This campground is best for a visit to the National Quilt Museum.

Stayed 1 night …everything said before I would echo. We stayed on the little lake area,nice grass sight. Manager took us to the site. It was a back in,however very easy.
Well kept and showers and bathroom area very clean. Easy access. You can walk to a Mexican restaurant and to the liquor store.

If your looking for a place to camp in Paducah this is the spot.. super friendly staff very helpful & accommodating…. This spot is great if you have activities to do in Paducah or surrounding areas.. not much going on as far as activities at the campground except fishing (they have a decent lake/pond with nice size fish… passing through need a quiet place to camp THIS IS IT!! Store & great Mexican restaurant just feet from the camp ..
