Big Willie, One place I would look at is The FishTale Lodge in Paris, Tn. Stayed there many times. Location is great for the fishermen's needs, gas, bait, food, etc. 1-713-642-7113. The owner's are really down to earth. Sharon and David, give them a call you will not be dissappointed.
I personally like the state parks. I fish Blood River a lot so I stall at Ken Lake State Park. Lake Barkley State Park is also nice and has a pool. Up at the north end KY Dam Village is good also but charging a boat there is hard to do unless you stay in a cabin. The other two places have plenty of electrical outlets and they seem to keep an eye out for wondering eyes because I have never had an issue at either place.
If you are fishing the north part of the Lake, Moors has a deal where you pay the for three (3) nights and get the fourth one free. I have stayed there lots of times, Moors Resort and Marina on Kentucky Lake . Also on the north end of the Lake is a small place named Belair, It is off the water but it is very clean, has electric hookup for your boat batteries, and is on Hwy. 641 about a 1/2 mile from the Kentucky Dam Marina. In the last few years I stayed there several times and rooms were about $45.00 or $50.00 a night .Very nice people run this place.Their phone # is 270-362-4254.
I agree the Belair is a great place to stay. Won't meet any nicer folks. Not too far from boat ramp either. We usually stay at Big Bear Resort when we go in the fall. But at any other time of the year we stay at the Belair. In the fall Big Bear runs some pretty good specials. Otherwise they are a little pricey for me. But they are right at some good fishing. I have never stayed at the Moors but have ate there many times. They have a good restaurant for lunch.
Good luck and make sure to lets us know when the fish fry will be.:D
PS if you have never been to Ky. Lake might want to think about a guide. I catch plenty of fish there without one now, but my first trip I hired one and he was so much fun I hire him for one day every year now. We have been going down there for 6 years now. Its not that we need him he is just a good guy and fun to fish with. And it gives me a day of not having to worry about running the motor, cleaning fish, buying bait, ect ect ect. Just fishing.
OK, what is the good guide's name and telephone number?
It would help us who are helpless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info.
Where are you at in So. IL. I was born and raised down in the Anna, Cobden Carbondale area. Been up in No IL now for 30 years. I Still miss it down there.
It is a great place to live especiallly if you like to hunt and fish
What part of Kentucky Lake are you looking stay? Kentucky or Tennesse?
Most likely mid lake but I am also interested in maybe fishing Big Sandy So both I guess would be the right answer.
You are going to be fishing in the best area. At least that is my opinion. There is a lot of great places to stay in that area. Hope you find what you are looking for. Sorry I can not help out more but most of the places I know of have been posted already. Hope you catch a bunch of fishes when you come down. If you fish the big sandy area and want a guide try this guy he is super nice and knowledgable. Email him and he will try to put you on fish whether you fish with him or not. Here is the link. SEE YOU AT FISHING THE HOLE GUIDE SERVICE
Lipjerker, Big Willie, Donald Barnes the guide from "See You At The Fishing Hole" also has two video's on youtube.com. One on spring time fishing and the other fall, winter fishing the ledge's. Great video's to watch. I call him when I know I'm going down to the Big Sandy to fish. Alway's very, very helpful.
