I’m happy to announce the third annual SOTA Kentucky Campout the weekend of April 12, 2025! Come and go as you can and we’ll host a pancake breakfast at 8:00amET Sunday morning before we all head home.
Pancakes and syrup will be provided; feel free to bring anything else you’d like to prepare for yourself and others before heading out!
MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS TODAY: Please call the office at 606.589.2478 to make your reservations (this is different from the phone number listed on their website, but it’s the correct one). Kingdom Come State Park maintains a primitive campground with limited running water and privy toilets so please plan accordingly. The town of Cumberland, KY is minutes away from the entrance to the park; restaurants and a grocery store are nearby.
Please let me know if you’ve reserved a campsite so we can make an attendee list.

We’ll look forward to welcoming any and all that can attend to explore the Eastern Mountains of the Bluegrass State together. There are plenty of previously-activated summits within an 1.5 hour drive of the campground (and many unactivated to explore as well!)

A note on meals: The campground is a five minute drive from Cumberland, KY. There is a grocery store there as well as several restaurants. Eastern Kentucky has been hit with several natural disasters in the last few years, and is the poorest area in the state. I highly recommend visiting the local grocery for supplies and/or eating out if you can - any local economic impact in this area goes a long way.
