Camping is a time-honored tradition in Kentucky, as well as a fantastic option for traveling around the state. With so many beautiful campgrounds in the area, you can see the entire state and guarantee you have a lovely spot to set up your tent or park your camper van every night (but be sure to book in advance, in busier months spots can fill up quickly)! While you’re camping through the state, we recommend a stop at the stunning Natural Bridge State Resort Park in Slade Kentucky.

Situated on the Red River Gorge in Slade KY, Natural Bridge State Resort Park offers stunning views in every direction.

First, of course, is the name sake of the park itself, a sprawling natural stone bridge that visitors are welcome to walk both across and under. Featuring caves underneath and views of the whole park from above, we think this stunning formation is definitely worth a stop!

There's a reason this park is named after this natural bridge, it's not only massive, but so beautiful from every angle.
A great way to see more of the park in less time is to use the sky lift! Your trip will take you from the entrance of the park to the natural bridge and it is packed with photo opportunities and unparalleled views.

These views are improved by changing fall leaves but are enjoyable any time of year.
On your visit you can also take advantage of kayak rentals, fishing, mini golf, multiple picnic spots, and a plethora of birding opportunities. There's no chance anyone will grow bored here, but definitely enough space to relax if that's what you're looking for!
