About Grove Drive-In Campground
Grove Drive-In Campground is perched on a forested ridge above Laurel River Lake in Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest. The lake, fed by the Laurel River, is considered one of the most scenic lakes in the state. Boating, fishing, hiking and biking are greatly enjoyed by campers. Grove Campground is located off Grove Road (#558) on a forested ridge above Laurel River Lake near Grove Boat Ramp and Marina. Of the 40 drive-in sites, Loop B is reservable, and Loop A is first come, first served. Thirty-five drive-in sites have electricity and water and five have water only.
