Great RV park In Paducah. Staff was very nice and they brought in a food truck and some live entertainment. Prices are reasonable and the location right off exit 3 was very convenient.

I have been using Fern Lake Campground for a while. This is a great place to see. I use this place as an overnight stop. They have full hook ups. 50/30 amp service. Water and sewer. The staff is great, always welcomes you. Very clean and maintained campground. Dog friendly. Close to the highway that you can't hear. Totally level sites. You are close to restaurants and stores that are easy to get to. I highly recommend them. Make sure you have a reservation. Sometimes, they are full. That's why I say this is a great choice.

We stayed here 3 nights and it was fantastic. Only one exit away from all the mall and all the restaurants you could want. The park staff is very friendly and the park is kept nice and clean. We will definitely be back when traveling through Paducah.
