ScoutIt was a lot of fun, cute cabin, friendly and super accommodating staff, clean shower houses. 10 out of 10
ScoutThis isn’t a campground…it’s a run-down trailer park. The only sites for mobile campers is up front and surrounded by ratty lots full of trailers with junk all around d them.
No attention to lawn detail…overgrown and needs to be trimmed.
But that’s not the worst…there were two pre-teen boys playing around the playground…and around our lot. Right after dark, a pre-teen boy came up to our camper, slammed our entry assist handle and locked it over…locking us in the camper. Fortunately, my wife was in the bath-house. It scared my young daughters. They later came again, knocking on the side of the camper and taunting us. There were no other kids around…I then saw them go into the manager’s house….
It was dirty, unsafe, and a pleasure to leave…just gross.
TravelerVery quiet campground in a beautiful place surrounded by trees very friendly personal. Not far from the Ark endounter
TravelerVery friendly and helpful personal beautiful spot
ScoutNice quiet spot with trails and shade!
GuideAbout 30 minutes away from the Ark. Easy trip on I75, about 30 minutes. Some level sites, but most seem to have a slope. When we visited, two of four washing machines were out of order as well as two of six dryers out of order. Efficient staff.
ScoutVer clean and Beautiful campground. Stayed 2 nights in April. Lovely grass and beautiful lake. Will definitely stay here again when in the area.
ScoutMe and my boys come here once a year and it is the greatest day of the year every year. We love going on the pond and fishing even though my friends suck at it. The hosts are always very nice and accommodating to me. When I had to arrive at the campsite late because of work they said it was no problem. It truly is a great experience for any and everyone especially in the summer.
ScoutWe didn't let the rainy Kentucky weather disrupt our weekend getaway! We stayed warm and dry inside Page's cabin. Uphill trails are spectacular, with plenty of pet friendly areas.
