About Big Bear Resort Campground

Big Bear Resort Campground is part of a Kentucky Lake property whose history began with a fishing camp in 1948. RV and tent sites sit within reach of the marina, swimming pool, private beach, store, and water-equipment rentals, giving campers the independence of their own setup alongside the activity of a full resort. The campground remains closely connected to the fishing and family traditions that shaped Big Bear over the years.

Camping here can take several forms. Tent travelers can keep the trip simple and stay close to the water, while RV guests have space for a longer visit. Pets are welcome under the resort's current policy, allowing more of the family to come along. The campground also works well for groups using different accommodations, since cottages, villas, chalets, condominiums, and marina townhouses are spread through the same property.

The marina gives the campground a strong boating identity. Covered and open slips, a launch, trailer parking, fuel, live bait, tackle, boating supplies, and a fish-cleaning station support early fishing departures and full days on Kentucky Lake. Boat, ski, and tube rentals expand the options for campers who want to cruise, fish, or add water sports available at Big Bear.

Families have places to spend time away from the boat as well. A private beach and swimming pool create two distinct ways to cool off, while the resort store keeps groceries, snacks, drinks, gifts, and small lake supplies close by. Campers can move between the shoreline, pool, and campsite as part of the same resort day.

Big Bear's location between Malcolm and Bear Creeks gives anglers access to protected water and the broader lake. Fish attractors in nearby bays and the resort's long fishing history keep that connection visible. For returning families, the campground becomes another way to share the same Kentucky Lake property generation after generation.
