Hey All,

I am going to be hitting the woods for the first time in awhile with the family on April 24, 25, 26 at Land between the Lakes, KY. Well Actually I will be on the TN side of the area at Piney Campground. Anyone who would like to come is welcome and join in the weekend out. Personally I will be tent camping as I do not have a TD yet, but would love to see yours.

Piney will not be accepting reservations until April 1. Anyways they only reserve part of the campground and leave part as a first come first serve. When registration starts I am going to try and get in the Chestnut Loop around spot 21 or so. Though the wife may make us move to a spot away from the lake.

Check out the events page for special events for that weekend

Piney?? wow thats amazing! If you took a left instead of taking a right(from Dover),go down the 'old' road 1/2 mile then right,on the gravel road,thats where I practically grew up.Grandmother had a rustic campground/boat dock there for many years.'60's-early '80's.
The weather will be gettin just about 'right' at that time.Enjoy!

That is a great place to camp, I tend to prefere the western side of LBL, near the TN/KY state line. A place called "The Point". Rangers know of its location. Its a great spot with really wonderful sunsets and plenty of room and firewood.

well unfortunately I couldnt go camp this weekend. The oldest kiddo got strep with high fever on Friday. However I did get out to LBL for a nature photo workshop on Sat. (Will post pics later). But I will be going back out this upcoming weekend. LBL had a ton of damage from the ice storm this past winter. trees were down everywhere. I was actually surprised about the damage.

Von, I will have to look for that sometime.

I will try to put up some pics also from LBL, as well as a map showing where the point is. Its really a great vibe to it, barges passing by in the middle of the night adds a "Tom Sawyer" feel to the location.
