"Campground Review: Roughly 20 miles from the Bowling Green, Ky I65 exit Baileys Point is a well laid out large campground."

"This campground is a walking distance to the visitors center. It's a well established campground and geared towards folks visiting mammoth caves."
"green river, which was enjoyed by all, and we appreciated avoiding the main entrance besieged by spring break campers!"
"The Bowling Green KOA, Ky is located on the outskirts of Bowling Green near the I65 and Natcher interchange. You can actually see the back end of the campground from the ramp that connects the two."

Convenient to stores and restaurants. Laundry open 24/7 ($2.50)."

"Enjoyed my time staying at Tailwater in Kentucky. It was about an 8hr drive from where I live, so we decided to stay here for a long weekend with friends."
"Tailwater Campground below Barren River Lake Dam is picture perfect maintained. You would think you just missed the tractor mowing."
"Close proximity to Mammoth Cave. Don’t miss the Amish bakery/cafe nearby!"
"The older sites are more established with shade but most are gravel and not as easy to access while walking or biking. Karst beach is so nice with the wibit (extra cost but worth it)."

The Narrows at Barren River Resort Park , Kentucky is a nice, well maintained campground. If you are a fisher person this is a campground for you."

"While visiting family in Scottsville we were in need of a close by RV park for our 40’ rig. This was the perfect spot for us."
"A lot of people pull in for the night since it's right off the highway and behind a Pilot/Flying J, but it was still quiet."
ScoutAs of the summer of 2024, Beaver Creek is now Day Use Only. I was Camphost there for a short time when they cancelled camping.
ScoutWe needed a spot near Mammoth Cave National Park (which was full). This small City Park in the town of Munfordville, only 25 miles away, fit the bill perfectly. The phone number connects you to their City Hall - they asked for the make, model, color and license plate number of our vehicle (so their police officer would know we belonged there), and told us spots are available on a "first come" basis but are almost always available. In our case, we were the only ones there on a Friday summer night.
The park is delightful: it's by a river, surrounded by trees, and has a paved path circling soccer and disc golf fields, a playground, and four pickleball courts. There also is a 4-mile trail. All of the day users left by 9 pm, and then we had the park to ourselves. It was a very quiet spot.
Access to the park is via a short one-lane road that has some very tight curves. The overnight spots aren't really set up for RVs - those also are accessed via tight turns and there isn't an adequate turnaround space at the end of the access road -- I parked in a spot knowing that I would have to back my 23' trailer down the access road in order to get to back to a larger parking lot area. For smaller RVs and trailers, camping here is manageable and recommended.
TravelerWe wanted to go to see Mammoth Caves, but the tours were already booked out. So we were searching for a night to camp. I called and Beth answered our call. Very sweet Lady. We chose spot 1. Bathrooms/showers are ok . $44/night
LegendPeople here were kind and trustworthy. People were charging their power stations unattended in the bathrooms. We were given extra wood by our neighbors. Other neighbors notified us when they saw us leaving stuff behind (just wood).
The bathrooms have a cool log cabin-like window at the top. There are trails that leave the campground. Fireflies are great at night. Frogs are singing in the evening. Tons of trees and shade.
Only downside is maybe the camp store closes really early. I think maybe 5? By the time we got there our first day it was closed, so my son was bummed we couldn’t have a fire.
GuideWe had reservations for a cave tour dec22. We didn't stay at the campground. We parked our 40ft skoolie in the parking lot of the visitors center and slept there for 2 nights. Thanks to the park ranger who didn't make us leave and told us to enjoy our visit!
GuideI’m camping at the Nashville KOA while attending a conference at the Gaylord. It’s clean, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the amenities are impressive (though I haven’t been able to use them while at the conference).
Sites are very compact. You lack any privacy. They do have a lot of trees to make it feel less like a parking lot.
GuideHelpful and over-the-top nice office staff. We arrived early and they made room for us. First site was a concrete pad, we were assigned a different site when our original reservation was scheduled, but we went to office to say it was too unlevel for us. They kindly found us a spot that was great.
TravelerSite 22 has a slightly declined slope and is right next to another site that is a pull through. It is also right next to the main road for the park. Vehicles drive relatively slow due to all the speed bumps.
There are tons of deer at this park. Our dogs picked up ticks every day, and we had a few as well. Watch out for lyme and other tick born illnesses. We unfortunately found a bullseye rash from one of the bites. This means the deer are carriers as well.
ScoutWe stayed overnight in May 2025. Booked one of their hammock/tent sites for car camping and it was delightful. The covered deck with picnic table was ideal as it was raining lightly. Bathrooms were best we’ve seen at a KOA. Recently renovated and definitely a cut above.
