Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park

Reserved 3 nights here on a site on the inner loop (where the shelter and bath house are). The site was level and had some new gravel on tithe pad. It was extremely close to the inside circle area and camper hosts’ party for the holiday. A very large bounce house was plugged in and blowing about 15 ft. From our site. It stayed on all day and night all weekend. Obnoxious, loud, could not sit outside at all. Another bounce house was up near the playground.Campers were initially nice but then turned into an angry mob when we asked if bounce house could be turned off (10:15 pm?). Threatening people and rude behavior forced us to cut this trip short. We don’t recommend going there and doubt the KY state Parks are up to par compared to Ohio and Indiana campgrounds. Pool is closed also for the year.

We parked one night at this campground on our way further south just for one night. It was a bit crowded and noisy, with not too much easily accessible from the grounds. The trails were pretty short/not well-traveled, but the historical buildings/remnants were cool. The primitive sites are just kind of tucked into one corner of the grounds—this is definitely mainly an RV site. No tent pads (which is fine) and the grounds were kinda mucky (I'm sure it had just rained recently, but we had to drive through it to get to our tucked away site). We chatted with a lot of locals who keep their campers there for the season, and they were super friendly. We bought firewood there, and the bathroom facilities were decently kept.

We're at a primitive site. The hiking trail is right behind our site, which turns out to be in the best shaded sweet stop to keep cool.
