About Sportsman's Lodge Campgrounds & Marina

Sportsman's Lodge sits beside Jonathan Creek at the US 68 bridge near Benton, putting one of Kentucky Lake's well-established boating and fishing areas right outside the property. The resort combines several styles of lodging with camping and a full-service marina, giving anglers, families, and lake travelers a choice between a motel room, cottage, fishing cabin, campsite, or tent site.

The motel provides the property's year-round lodging option, with rooms overlooking the water. Cottages and fishing cabins add more traditional lake accommodations for visitors who want a little more separation from the motel setting. The range is particularly useful for fishing parties and extended families whose plans may include several households traveling together but not necessarily sharing the same type of lodging.

Much of the property revolves around the water. Sportsman's Lodge operates its own marina with boat slips and rental boats, allowing guests to keep their lake plans close to where they are staying. The marina generally operates from late March through October, while the motel remains open year-round.

A swimming pool gives guests another way to spend time outside without heading onto the lake. Campers have access to a bath and shower house, and the combination of campground, motel, cottages, and marina lets different parts of a group settle into the type of accommodations that suit them while remaining on the same property.

Sportsman's Lodge is located at 12710 US Highway 68 East, where the highway crosses Jonathan Creek west of Aurora.

For Sportsman's Lodge, the fishing-camp character is still central to the story. Lodging, camping, and marina services all meet in one place along Jonathan Creek, keeping the focus on Kentucky Lake from arrival through the end of the day.
