About
Kerr Lake State Recreation Area spans seven separate developed campgrounds scattered around this large reservoir near Henderson - Bullocksville, County Line, Henderson Point, Hibernia, J.C. Cooper at Satterwhite Point, Kimball Point, and Nutbush - each with its own mix of electric and non-electric sites. Pick your specific campground when booking, since they're spread out around the lake, some a considerable drive apart. Showers, flush toilets, bath houses, and a dump station serve the developed campgrounds, along with boat launches and swimming areas.
Fees
Non-electric sites run about $27-$62/night and electric (15/20/30/50-amp) sites run about $37-$77/night depending on season and location. Confirm current rates when booking.
