When these state parks were built, they had a logistical challenge to run electricity, water, and sewage into some of these locations, following the path that made the most logical and economical sense, and also the least evasive disruption to the environment, to preserve the forest and trees surround the camp sites to give the visitor a sense of what it's like to really be in the forests, must like it was when our country was first settled.
If this is too much for the OP, or too challenging, or too rigorous, or too frustrating, or too disappoint, then maybe he is better off never going to Kentucky again. We live in a big country, there are plenty of other places to go that do not include the Smokey or Appalachian mountains. I think that would rule out Pennsylvania, New York, Main, and Vermont too and those states are highly mountainous too.
