Taylorsville Lake State Park Campground

Excellent campground. Clean and quiet. Can get busy but sites are not tight but spread out and plenty of space. Fine gravel sites with well kept grounds, shower house, and attentive host. We want to return and visit more Bourbon Trail Distilleries.

The campground is easy to navigate. The ranger met us on the way in and was super-friendly. Our site was small bit not cramped, and there was a picnic table and fire pit. Plenty of space between each site. Neighbors were quiet and friendly. Will camp here again!

What a gorgeous campground! The grounds are full of grass and well manicured. Campsites are gravel and level. We were on a very quiet loop with just 4 electric/water RV sites. We were just doing a travel overnight but definitely will go back to stay a few days! Bathrooms were very clean and the staff was super friendly!

We really enjoyed this park.  Plenty of room for camper and car, big grass area and nice bathhouse.

We stayed for 5 days and will definitely be coming back.

The guard house is only manned for a short period of time. We wanted to get ice and wood when we arrived, but it was closed. 

Plenty of places to visit while here. We did parts of the bourbon trail and just enjoyed our time at the campsite.

Spent 2 nights in spot 12. Is 45 spots. Smaller area but cheaper than others. Quiet in Oct. leaves were turning. Lake about 1 mile away from it. Only drawback was there trash run/pick up dumpster was 3 am on Friday morning ( only time they said anyone would do it). Other than that overall good with senior discount.

I really liked this campsite. We arrived around 7 pm because I forgot to figure in the time zone changes, lol. When we arrived I looked at my printout and could actually not read which loop or campsite we were in. It appeared it was loop 3 campsite 1-10, which I read backwards. Might be helpful to make this more clear.

The campsite was very nice, clean, but a little hard to get into because it had a narrow area where the RV went. Outside of that it was great.

There was no one at the entrance Sunday or Monday during our stay so we could not get ice or firewood unless we went down the main highway a ways to the Dollar General which had ice.

We had T-Mobile and there was very spotty service. And I must say the showers were very nice, though there was no shower curtain the pressure and heat were great after driving.

So this is probably a campsite I would go back to.

Lovely campsite at #42. #41 and #43 have more all day shade but fear not - a young tree is growing away at the edge of #42.

Used the showers and laundry. Swam in the lake - no beach.

TMobile phones - no calls, able to text, slow website access. Couldn't work remotely from here.

Went here with a few of my buddies for one night. The experience was great, but we were all a bit disappointed with the fishing experience and how far access to the lake was from the primitive camping. Also we could not find firewood.

First time here and it was only an overnight stay, BUT we will definitely be back! The campground was clean, well spaced sites, and easy to access.

Taylorsville Lake State Park campground is the newest in the KY state park system, and has gravel sites that have good spacing between sites. They are almost all very level which makes for easy set up. There are nice playgrounds for the kids and the roads are in excellent condition. Electrical hookups for 50 amp are available. The shower houses were amazingly clean when we visited. The park has 24 miles of trails for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking, although horses are the main users. The only negative that we had was nothing to do with the park, but the speed that people were driving through the campground. Some sites with sewer hook ups would have earned 5 stars. We have stayed here twice in sites 1 & 9 so our grandkids could easily access the playground.

This campground has much to offer. Tent/RV spaces galore, horse sites, and primitive. Two playgrounds, heated and clean bathrooms. Access to lots of trails and activities. I will say that the two primitive sites closest to the bath house are a bit wonky but totally useable but not for large tents.

It was a good enough trip. Staff was friendly. The only spot available was in the equine section, we set up there. Those spots are too close together. There was a group next to us that was really loud and foul mouthed late into the evening. Lake can be enjoyed if you have a boat or rent one, not much shoreline accessibility.

I don’t have any other experiences to compare this trip with so in my rookie opinion I thought it was a nice clean campground. The guys at the entrance were very nice and the bath house was clean.

Nice campground. Not very big though. The do have some pull through sites for equestrian trailers. Good horse trails. Clean facilities.

I’ve been in fishing tournaments and did well also good place to kayak

We had a pretty decent time at Taylorsville Lake. The spots were spacious, and very nice picnic tables. We did a trail which was nice and went down to a boat ramp to see the lake. You can also rent boats there as well. The bathrooms in my opinion needed a major cleaning. They were nice just not very clean. We most likely won’t visit here again but was nice to hit a Kentucky campground. I have found that camping in Kentucky is much cheaper than in Indiana. Definitely worth a checkout.

Nice campground. Taylorsville lake leaves a lot to be desired.... very small

This is a peaceful place. Enjoy!

We camped there in July for my son's birthday party. We were near the restroom facilities which were very clean. The camping area was recently mowed. Plenty of parking for guests and tents. We were on the group campsite #7. Playground was close and perfect for everyone to go run and play. Reservations were easy and staff friendly.

Campground is laid in a great way allowing space between guests. when we arrived the grounds crew were cutting the grass and weed eating feet of me while trying to set camp. Yes, I understand it needs to be mowed but I don’t like rocks being shot at me. The bathrooms were cleaned once a day early afternoon. The middle shower in the men’s needs to be fixed, no water pressure. the camper lots are made with fine gravel. could use more shade around the camper sites. All-in-all good campground.

The best sites are in the back as they are more spaced out and have foliage separating them. The interior sites are super close together. If you have dogs, you will want space. If you can snag a site in the back, it’s worth the cost per night. There is a nice trail behind the primitive camping, and gives a good view at the top. If there were more sites and more space, we would be here all the time!

We pulled in here on a Sunday July night around 10pm. self checked ourselves in to a prImatIve sIte to grab a few hours of sleep. The next morning we showered and left. The bathhouse was clean and the park was quiet. worked for us on our way out east.

Visited multiple time. Decent place. Better if you have a boat ( or rent one at the marina across the lake) good access to the lake, gets busy in the summer. Stores in decent proximity off property. Can get loud at times. Rangers are strict but nice. Bath and shower houses are decent but not great

We stopped at this campground for two nights on our way down to Tennessee for the eclipse. Most of the sites were really big, and there was plenty of space and trees in between. We stayed at site P02, but I don't recommend that specific site. It was probably the worst site in the primitive camp, but I reserved it online in advance. It was far from flat, and the space provided for the picnic table was pretty much unusable. Just about every other site there looked amazing though. The primitive camp was close to the equestrian camp, and between to two campgrounds, there were only 25 sites. These 25 campsites share a bathhouse, which was very clean and quiet. This park also has an RV campground with 45 sites, but we never step foot in that part of the park.

Secluded primitive camping, clean facilities, friendly staff. Racoons were in the area. Shaded, plentey of tree cover. Had a great time, would like to go back.

Felt like we were the only people without a horse or a fishing pole! Great water for kayaking and beautiful sunsets.

Lots of raccoons in the area, so make sure your food is secure. Some of the sites are equestrian only, but they may give leeway. We reserved our primitive site ahead of time.

Good weekend trip from Louisville.

We camped here for three days in early August and used it as a "home base" while we explored Louisville (Louisville Slugger Factory, Churchill Downs, etc.), bourbon country, etc. We also fished one evening on Taylorsville Lake, though it was a drive from our campsite, so wish the campsites were closer to the lake!
