RV Campgrounds in Rowan County, Kentucky

RV Campgrounds in Rowan County, Kentucky
Rowan County, Kentucky's RV campgrounds have a lot to offer to RV campers. The county seat and center of Morehead is conveniently located off I-64 and sits on U.S. 60, making the drive to area RV camps easy for even the biggest rigs. The county also sits inside the northern end of Daniel Boone National Forest, as well as being home to the Giant Canada Goose Pond, a large highland lake. That combination of good roads and outdoors attractions make Rowan County a sound RV camping destination.
