Busy place on a Saturday in late Oct. Not my kinda place. Lots of kids. TVs. Noise. Golf carts. I think most families with small kids would have fun.

Kentucky campgrounds typically experience highest visitation during summer months, with some facilities like Big Bone Lick State Historic Site operating seasonally from April through October. Cell service varies throughout the region, with coverage generally stronger at established campgrounds than in more remote areas.

Water access represents a significant attraction at several campgrounds in the region. A.J. Jolly Park & Campground provides boat access and water recreation opportunities with hiking trails and multiple camping accommodation types. The proximity to the Ohio River and Kentucky River systems creates numerous opportunities for fishing, boating, and paddling adventures from established campgrounds. According to one camper, "This campground is located at the mouth of the Elkhorn Creek and Kentucky River. It is extremely popular among locals who want to sit in a tube float and float down the creek to the Kentucky River." Most developed campgrounds maintain moderate to spacious sites with adequate separation between camping areas. Many facilities offer a mix of shaded and open sites, with waterfront locations typically commanding higher demand during warmer months.

GuideEast Fork State Park Campground
A large campground spread out over multiple loops. Roads and campsites are paved. Our site #416 was spacious and secluded at the end of a dead end road. The bathhouse was a short hike away and in good condition.

Nice campground - but busy
Now called Unhitched RV Park. I’m quite liberal with my rating so 4 star may be generous. There are quite a few weekender / extended stay sites but they all look clean without too many extensive built-ins. People were all very friendly, desk attendant was excellent with great information and very accommodating. Site workers are busy keeping the place tidy and are nice people. We stayed at the upper sites with plenty of of mature trees for shade. Near the river is very wide open. Had a pull through site with plenty of room for everything. Hook ups are all properly located for standard equipment. Some sites need leveling but ours only used one block under left side. Pool is very nice and we waited for a quiet time to go. New management has taken over recently, so name is now Unhitched RV Park. Showers, laundry, small camp store. Couldn’t get Wi-Fi to work day 1. It can get very busy with golf carts and 4 wheelers. Generally we had a nice site with reasonable privacy. Also the area has a lot to offer with the local small towns.

Elkhorn Creek RV Park
Great family campsite
It was really easy to get checked in and set up. They have some amazing amenities to keep the kids entertained. It is right outside of Frankfurt so you are nice and close to many different attractions.

Rough Access
We made reservations to stay here for 3 nights and missed the first night due to damaging weather nearby, (tornadoes in Cincinnati.) On day two when we arrived we found the access driveway to be deeply creviced from washout conditions. We straddled the crevices on the uphill drive but we were unable to make the 90° narrow access to the site, spinning out in the wet grass on multiple tries.
The only option for exit is to back down the driveway, which in our MB Cruiser (8,000+ lbs) was challenging.
The host is extremely communicative and a pleasure to chat with pre-arrival and completely understanding of our dilemma. We chose not to stay the remaining nights.
Had the weather been favorable, access may have been much easier and is definitely passable for car, truck or small van camping. If your turning radius is long, reserve site #1 which may have been passable for us but we did not attempt because that is not what we had reserved, but the host later offered to us. Site #1 is the lower grassy flat with much wider access.
Check with host about condition of driveway and entry before reserving.

Clean, quiet woods and raccoons
20 & 30 amp service only. Very nice place to kick back and unwind. Dump station is on a hill so it’s tough to get the job done completely.

Guide to Falmouth
Camping near Falmouth, Kentucky centers on several established sites located within the Licking River watershed. The area maintains an average summer high of 85°F, with humidity often exceeding 70% during peak camping months. Access roads to most remote sites become challenging after heavy rainfall, with several locations requiring high-clearance vehicles for reliable access.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Kincaid Lake State Park Campground, the 149-acre lake serves as the primary attraction for anglers. "Golf (both full size and mini) and fishing seem to be the main attraction, there are also sports fields, a pool, and some short hiking trails," notes one visitor. The lake contains largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish.
Equestrian facilities: A.J. Jolly Park & Campground maintains dedicated stalls for horse owners. "Stall accommodations are excellent, even include bedding. The camp Ranger/host, Larry?, was incredibly helpful and kind," reports one equestrian camper. Trail riding access connects to multiple routes within the 1,000-acre park.
Historical exploration: Big Bone Lick State Historic Site offers educational exhibits focused on paleontological discoveries. "This is a small and simple park with a lot of opportunities to learn. There are a lot of little trails that criss cross each other and a lot of informational signs and a little museum," explains one visitor. The park maintains a small herd of bison visible from designated viewing areas.
What campers like
Lake access: Waterfront sites at Kincaid Lake provide direct water entry points. "What a great place to stay! Plenty of water front sites for kayaking and fishing, clean bathhouses, easy to get to, beautiful lake!" shares one camper. Early reservations remain essential for securing premium waterfront locations.
Clean facilities: The Three Springs Campground maintains well-kept bathroom facilities. "Bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Lots of stars at night!" notes a recent visitor. The campground offers 50 designated sites with water and electric hookups.
Evening quiet: Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours starting at 10 p.m., creating peaceful overnight conditions. "We were able to enjoy the beautiful lake and the fall views," mentions one Kincaid Lake visitor. Light pollution remains minimal at most sites, allowing for stargazing opportunities after sunset.
What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds require additional equipment for proper RV setup. "The Bathhouse is super nice and clean. The sites I'm at are on a hillside so think theatrical style site. None are level looking so you will need to know what your doing to level your rig," advises one A.J. Jolly camper.
Limited primitive options: The region offers few true backcountry camping options. "The primitive camping sites are pretty packed in and don't have a lot of privacy, and not a lot of flat land to set up a tent. $25 a night is a bit steep for the amenities you receive," notes one Kincaid Lake visitor.
