History of the Business:
Dogwood Lake started out as a dream, Harold Wester's dream. In 1984, he bought 40 acres near Lake Malone and started digging a hole. This hole became Dogwood Lake, a five acre spring-fed fresh water lake, our central attraction. The water, crystal clear and fresh, is inspected twice a year and passes with flying colors. Along the lake, Harold trucked umpteen loads of clear white sand, a veritable Daytona Beach in Dunmor's backyard. Next came the campsites, 128, all with water and electric, 81 of them with sewer, with an attached field bed big enough for expansion. Next came the 280 foot full-loop waterslide.
Description:
We have 56 water and electric sites on our campground.
We have 104 full hook-up sites.
Basic Camping Cabins
Our eight lovely Basic Cabins are located on two ponds where children will love to fish. These rustic cabins are 12 feet by 12 feet with a 6 foot porch in front. "Rustic" means that these cabins do not have bathrooms. The showers and bathrooms are about 250 feet away in the restaurant building. The cabin interior features 1 full size bed with a small bench at its foot, a bunk bed with two twin beds, wood floors, 3 windows with mini-blinds, interior and exterior lights and three electrical outlets.
New Deluxe Camping Cabins
We now have three Deluxe Cabins located on our 7-acre spring feed lake. Each deluxe cabin has a single bed, a queen and a futon bed, bathroom, microwave, outdoor grill, electricity, windows with shades, a fan and a porch with a table and two chairs. You may bring anything you need to complete your camping experience including a television, dvd player, etc.
Hillside A-Frame Camping Cabin
The cabin has a single and a full mattress upstairs, a double sofa bed and a double futon bed, bathroom with bathtub, dining room table with 6 chairs, microwave, stove, refrigerator, outdoor grill, electricity, windows with shades, upstairs and downstairs fan and a porch with table and two chairs. You may bring anything you need to complete your camping experience.

Recreation:
When the sun drives the mercury off the thermometer, cool off at Dogwood Lakes. Natural springs feed our large five acre lake offering great swimming and a great place to cool down. Imported fine white sand from Florida gives our little place in central Kentucky a Caribbean feel. If you desire more activity than bronzing yourself on a beautiful beach, splash in our beautiful lake.
Yellow and Blue Waterslide: Our yellow and blue water slide will slip and slide the whole family. Located next to our sandy beach, this all-time favorite runs 280 foot to a three foot shallow pool. Whether you body surf down or grap a mat, this big water slide will loop you around 360 degrees for all day fun.
Kiddie Play Area: On the other side of the lake, we have jungle gym in the water designed especially for smaller children. Maximum depth in this area is three feet.
Paddle Boats: Race your friends around the lake in our paddleboats. As you tour around the lake, paddle under our pedestrian bridge and pretend you're coasting along a canal in Venice, Italy. Or wet your parents under our fountain in the middle of the lake.
