Kingdom Come State Park is on Pine Mountain in the Appalachian Range, right on the Little Shepherd Trail--thirty miles from St. Paul. Local attractions include the Kentucky Coal Mining Museum and the Appalachian Center. Visitors can tour the Portal No. 31 Underground Mine. The park is intended for primitive and tent campers, but does allow RVs and Big Rigs to camp there. There are no hookups, bathhouses, or laundry facilities on site. Also, the mountain roads can prove difficult for RV drivers to navigate. However, the park does have fourteen hiking trails and miles of undisturbed wilderness.
