What is Kentucky famous for? The Kentucky Derby of course! Join us for our own derby, Corbin style. Compete in various horse races where you might just be the horse or you might ride astride a hobby horse. Bring your best Kentucky Derby hat and compete in our best hat contest. Sip a mint julep and sit on the porch admiring the contestants. We will offer a category for the best homemade hat too - make your hat here on-site with us and we will supply all the fixins. Saturday night will have us bringing our lawn chairs under the stars for a family-friendly horse movie - vote on-site that weekend to see what we will watch.

Mother's Day/Care Camps

May 9 - 11, 2025

Bring Mom camping for Mother's Day. We will help a bit with a craft for the kiddos to give to Mom. Give Mom the morning off and come have breakfast with us. All the profits will be sent to Care Camps which is a charity founded to sponsor kids with illness going to camp. Often the experiences taken for granted when kids are healthy are completely out of reach when a child has medical needs. Care Camps sponsor kids to go to camps that can accommodate special needs by having trained medical people on staff and often special facilities that can accommodate wheel chairs and other medical equipment. These camps focus on giving kids and sometimes their families too a chance to experience the joy of camping and the outdoors. You can help make that happen just by eating breakfast.

Be sure to follow us on social media to let us know your favorite 80's track to include on the play list. Brush up on your 80's trivia because we are playing 80's Jeopardy. Join us for some bodacious fun.

Father's Day Camper Crawl

Jun 14, 2025, 4pm - 5:30pm

Website

Join us for our first annual camper crawl.
For those that have never done a camper crawl let me explain the good time that's in store. We are asking for 5-6 “host” campers. These campers will sign up to host a quick activity/game OR some sort of fun drink or nibble. Then we need other campers to sign up to “crawl” with us. We will then grab our camp chairs and head to the first designated camper to enjoy a tasty drink or bite. Then we may head to the next camper to play a game or we may ask the camper hosting the activity to combine hosting duties and game where we nibble. It will all depend on what our host campers plan. We will ask that our hosts plan for a max of 24 crawlers including themselves. Should you sign up to host we will offer you 15% off of your Father's Day stay with no limit on your length of stay. So the longer you stay the bigger your discount. You must call us (606-528-1534) and have us help you make the reservation to get the discount. The office is currently open 9am-6pm seven days a week. Sign up in advance to both host and crawl so our hosts can plan for the correct number of crawlers and have enough supplies for all. If you are hosting you are also a crawler too. You only host at your camper and the rest of the time you just get to sit back and crawl with the rest of the gang. Plan to spend about 20 minutes at each stop with the whole crawl taking about 1.5 hours. We will plan to crawl Saturday, June 14th from 4-5:30 so that when you make friends you can continue to hang out if you'd like. Did I mention that if we get a full 24 campers there is a T-shirt involved? In the words of the band Cake, “to prove you were there, that you heard of it first.” Call us and sign up! Two free shirts per reservation. Make sure you know the sizes of both participants when you call. Sign up to host so you get your first pick to host food or activity. Sign ups will close two weeks prior to the event so there is time to print shirts.

Late September is when those leaves start to be in full glory here. Come enjoy the autumn splendor of the Cumberland Gap. Since we sit among tons of trees it is gorgeous right here at the campground. If you want to up the ante then may we suggest using us as a jumping off point. We are positioned perfectly between two of the best places to see beautiful autumn splendor. Southern Living Magazine has named the Stearns Railroad one of the best ways to sit back and enjoy the foliage by taking one of their scenic rail trips. This is a full day excursion. Read the article here: https://www.southernliving.com/travel/fall-foliage-train-rides. Want to take in more? Head to the Cumberland Gap National Park and drive or hike up to their beautiful overlook. You can see three states at once and the color is... WOW! https://nationalparksdata.com/the-beauty-of-fall-foliage-at-cumberland-gap-national-historical-park/ Then come back to us and do a fun camper crawl. Sign up with us to host and get 25% off your stay. Provide a fun drink, small bite or a game. Everyone else just gets to crawl along and enjoy. Hosts should plan for about 25 people. We will plan to spend about 20 minutes oer stop.

Fall Fun

Oct 3 - Nov 2, 2025, Every Weekend

Please join us for the entire month of October for fall fun every single weekend. We will have hay rides to our pumpkin patch where everyone can pick a pumpkin. Take a scenic ride back to the patio where we will have everything set up for you to paint or carve your pumpkin - all the supplies are provided for you and we clean up the mess. Go all out decorating your campsite because a free night of camping will be awarded to the winner of our site decorating contest. Dress the kiddos up, adults too if you'd like, and trick or treat the KOA. We will throw in a few games throughout the weekend for a little extra fun. Get here early enough on Friday night for our 7:30PM BINGO game.

Oct - Nov 3 - 2

Halloween Weekend

Veteran's Day Celebration

Nov 8 - 11, 2025

We here at the Corbin KOA understand that Freedoms aren't free. We'd love to honor our vets by offering a 20% discount for your stay this weekend. Fly your flag from your branch of the service, wear your jackets and hats and let us thank you for your service. Make a float - even if it's nothing more than a wagon you pull, and take part in our Veteran's Day Parade. We'd like to have a bit of a square off between the different branches of service. We will ask you to combine with fellow service members to compete in a corn hole tournament to determine which branch is truly the BEST. Bring your team with you or find a friend once you arrive to be your team mate. Above all, come and be honored and have a bit of fun.

Nov 8 - 11

Gingerbread Party & Santa Pictures

Dec 5 - 7, 2025

Please join us for a gingerbread house decorating party. We will provide a pre built house so that you can get on to the fun part of decorating. You will be provided with icing, candies etc. to turn your house into the cutest one on the block. Bring a whole crew and turn it into a contest if you want. Take it home and nibble on it like Hansel and Gretel or just display it as a cute decoration. When registering you will be assigned a time slot and will have 90 minutes to decorate. When you are done you just walk away and we clean up the mess. Head on over to see Santa and let him know all the things you want for Christmas and of course capture all the cuteness for a photo keepsake. Make sure and register for the same time slot as your friends if you want to decorate together.
The fine print: Registration opens October 15, 2025. This is a ticketed event. If you are camping with us you will receive $5 off per ticket. We will allow a maximum of two people per gingerbread house ticket for space considerations. We do recommend that each child have their own ticket so design squabbles and sharing does not put a damper on the Christmas cheer. Sharing a ticket among adults is a bit easier but only you can gauge how well the adults in your life can share. Each ticket will come with a visit with Santa and a high quality image that you can print with full usage rights at the printer of your choice. That means that if you have two children and you get them each their own ticket, you will receive two digital images. You can utilize those how you see fit. Bring your dog to pose with Santa. Do one serious image and one silly one. Do each kiddo individually. Whatever you dream up we will do our best to achieve it. Each ticket will be $35 for non campers and $30 for those staying with us. You must pay at the time of registration. No refunds will be given because we must order the gingerbread houses in advance and they are not returnable. You are welcome to sell your ticket to someone else if you find out you can't attend.

Cumberland Falls State Park

7351 KY-90

corbin, KY 40701

The fantastic Cumberland Falls is just a short 20 minutes from us. There is only one other place in the United States that reliably produces a moonbow for our viewing pleasure. If you have never heard of a moonbow, think a rainbow but instead of light reflecting in the rays of the sun, it is reflected in the moon beams. It is a short paved trail from the parking lot to the fall viewing area. The path is well lit at night. You should plan to see the fall in the day time too but to see the moonbow you will need to come during the first few hours of the moon rise. Throughout the year the best viewing time changes. PLease see the infographic below for the best time to view based on the month you are visiting. The path down to the falls is handicap and stroller accessible. Seating is limited so if you know you will want to hang out a bit to enjoy the moonbow or enjoy a snack with the sound of the falls as your orchestra then plan to bring a few chairs. Parking is free at the falls so this is a budget friendly activity. Fun for the whole family or pack a little dessert picnic to impress someone special.
