The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Frenchburg, KY
When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision? We're a family that loves to camp; and while we love a stop at a KOA or community campground, we sometimes crave quiet time in nature without the noise and distraction of other campers. That's what makes The LAAAAND so special. The property is comprised of 50 pristine acres, with a mix of fields and woods, that bump up against another 250 acres owned by our family friends. The southern perimeter of the property is all cliff line, so you feel truly remote. The possibilities of sound pollution are limited to a far-off dog barking, horses being ridden down a nearby trail, or the possible hum of a distant lumber yard. Other than that, you'll mostly hear the wind rustling trees, deer and critters making their way through the woods, and possibly a waterfall at certain times of the year. Oh, and you will absolutely hear whipoorwhills, most likely at a time you'd rather not (we've decided they're charming). Over the nearly 2 decades we've owned this property we have spent countless weekends enjoying the simplest of pleasures; watching butterflies dance in the tree canopy, having dance parties at sunset on the deck, forging new trails and hiking into the unkown, sitting in the truck bed late at night gazing at a star-covered sky counting shooting stars. If you are looking for a space and place to reset and reconnect, The LAAAAND is waiting for you.

The best camping near Grayson Lake State Park guide

Overview

About

Grayson Lake State Park is anything but gray. Come to the park and you will be surrounded by vivid colors: deep blues, bright greens, electric yellows and dark browns. Leave the black & white filter alone, folks. Go for a hike around the lake, take your boat out for a spin, or tee-off on the golf course. The options for fun (and photos) are endless!

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as campsites fill up quickly during peak seasons.
  • Check for cancellations regularly, especially close to your desired travel date.
  • Consider visiting during the weekdays for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Explore nearby camping options to maximize your chances of finding a great site.

When to go

The best time to visit Grayson Lake State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers warm days perfect for water activities, though it can be crowded. Winters are less ideal due to cooler temperatures.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's website for any alerts on closures or safety information before your visit.
  • Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you require special accommodations.
  • Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable trip.
  • Review the photo and drone policy to ensure you comply with park regulations.
