Storm damage 3 years ago temporarily closed this great campground and the Forest Service has never reopened it. Rushing Creek Campground opened in 1964. In fact it was the first public recreational facility on the LBL and many think it is still the best campground there. If you are no fan of the megacampground and love Kentucky Lake you would love Rushing Creek. It has the best designed shower house and restrooms anywhere. They are open to the sun and not like most campground facilities, you know steam baths and mold factories. It would take so little to at least make this a self-service campground. If you got to know any of the past campground hosts though (Ferrell, Jimmy and Carroll) you would know they wouldn't have to look far to find someone to care for it. Please vote for the reopening of Rushing Creek. It would be shameful to let this great place go.
