This is our 6-year-old son Aidan. The photo was taken just steps outside our tent. Nice view, eh? He loved the camping trip as did everyone. Fishing, swimming, smores and movies projected on our friend's Airstream trailer at night made for an unforgettable weekend. ~ Jeanne

Cave Run Lake lies in the northern portion of Daniel Boone National Forest near Morehead Kentucky. This beautiful man-made lake provides flood protection to the lower Licking River valley. This lake is also very clean, and anglers will enjoy fishing for muskie, largemouth and crappie. Campers will find two of the largest campgrounds in the area right on the lake.

1.) I may park my RV for good
2.) I will be RVing closer to home
3.) I won’t be RVing as often
4.) I will continue RVing as usual

Ohio State Parks are among the finest in the nation and were recently honored to be the recipient of the first ever Gold Medal Award for parks and recreation excellence. The state park system is very popular and offers diverse outdoor recreational opportunities besides being among the few park systems in the nation that don't charge for day-use of the facilities.
