The picture above is from the beautiful Rough River Dam State Resort Park Campground (Find more pictures of Rough River Dam State Resort Park in our photo album.). Each time we’re there, I’m struck by how “far away from it all” this campground seems. While you’re, of course, mere minutes from the Park’s lodge, restaurants, stores, and other necessities, it feels like you’re a whole world away.
The beautiful, lush green surroundings are so peaceful and quiet, I think the experience could qualify for therapeutic.
Below is a press release from the Kentucky State Parks that’ll be of particular interest to campers.
