"Our site was a spacious pull through with water and up to 50 amp hookups, but no sewer connection necessitated a portable waste tank purchase for our 4-night stay."

Dump stations are available at most parks, though some campers report challenges with certain facilities, noting that "the dump station leaves a lot to be desired. It's a two-person operation."

    Mammoth Cave Campground — Mammoth Cave National Park

    Nature Lovers Paradise

    Site 46B is an exceptional site. Extra large with unobstructed views of the woods away from the roads So much to see and do beyond the cave! This campground is set in the woods with lots of hiking and biking trails within walking distance. Yes, the caves are amazing but don’t forget to explore the surface through hiking, horseback riding and kayaking. The campground has lots of tent campers to big rigs and everything in between. Big rig generators can put a major dent into the campground experience unfortunately but it’s still a beautiful family friendly experience. Bath houses were very clean. Sites are level. The dump station leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a two person operation. One person to use their foot to hold drain open and the other to deal with hose. Wish they offered electric at sites but still one of my favorite campgrounds. Very clean friendly and accessible to activities in the park.

    Bowling Green KOA

    Standard KOA/Awesome stay!

    This is a typical KOA park but in an awesome area. The only downside is the traffic noise from the highway. It was not audible inside the RV so it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep.

    The park has nice long pull through spaces, and quite a few long term residents of the park. They have a very nice dog park with obstacles for them in a central location to be accessed by everyone.

    The sites were level and clear of obstacles. They left plenty of space for vehicles and rigs. We had a pull through patio and the space had a giant beautiful tree that was very helpful in the heat.

    Equipment is well maintained at this location! Cell service for AT&T and TMobile we’re both excellent.

    Thousand Trails Diamond Caverns RV & Golf Resort

    Diamond Caverns

    Nice resort, some full time sites but most sites are well kept. We were at site A7, back in site, 50 amp full hookup fit our 43ft camper and enough room for our truck. Gravel site backs up to trees. Some smaller sites have cement pads but 30 amp full hook up. Great location if you want to head out to the caves.

    Dog Creek Campground

    Dog creek campground visit

    Pleasant campground. Trailers and RVs get water and up to 50 amp hookups. Our 4 night stay has warranted a portable waste tank purchased as they have 2/3 hookup. Very nice sites. 1/4 of them line the waterfront. Ours was a spacious pull through. No real camp store, but an honor system “shed” with firewood, produce, and canned goods. No hiking trails, but they do have a beach, playground, and boat ramp inside the park. Very quiet park. Volunteer “hosts were very nice. Warned us of the dry campus and leash laws. Convenient enough for a trip to Mammoth Cave without trailering primitive in the National park itself. Good stay!

    Cave Country RV Campground

    Cave Country

    This RV Park is clean and well maintained. The dog park is beautiful with well trimmed grass and large. They have a nice swimming pool, picnic tables, and fire rings. Nice large gravel pull through site and level. The Mammoth Cave National Park is 10 miles with many other attractions nearby. We stayed for a week and loved it.

    Singing Hills RV Park And Campground

    Nice park near Mammoth Cave

    Singing Hills is a nice private RV park near Mammoth Cave. We stayed one night. Sites 37, 39-44 are not shady, while the lower numbered sites have shade. The park streets and sites are gravel. The park was clean and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. They have a huge selection of DVDs and some fishing poles you can use for free. Stayed in pull through campsite#49 which was not shady but mostly level. It was a gravel site with grass on either side. There was enough parking for my 34 ft TT and truck. Neighbors are close. The site included: picnic table on grass and fire ring. Utilities: 20/30/50A electric in back. Water in back, good pressure. Sewer in middle with threaded fitting. AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 1 bar of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 3 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up. Verizon Speedtest: 0.15 Mbps down, 0.13 Mbps up. Free WiFi Speedtest: 24 Mbps down, 15 Mbps up, but frequently drops out. Would stay here again We camped at Singing Hills RV Park& Campground in a Travel Trailer.

    Barren River Lake State Resort Park Campground

    Okay Campground

    Full Time travelers. 

    Our stay here was October 20-27/2021 in site 22A. 

    We didn't know this before arriving, but the weekend we were there, it was one of their biggest weekends of the year with Halloween festivities.  We joined in with the pumpkin carving and costume contests. They also had a contest for decorations on campers.  All winners received an award sheet in a plastic frame.  

    This campground is fairly decent, with great views of the river/lake at some sites.  Only one section has full hookups, sites 1-9.  

    Our site was mostly level, however, a lot of the sites (excluding full hookup sites) were very unlevel.  The pull through sites are hills.  So, be prepared for that. 

    The grounds were okay.  Lots of trash from the weekend before us was still lying around.  The bathhouse closest to our site was decent.  One big issue I found with the restrooms was on the day most people left that weekend (on Sunday).  I went in to the restroom and the smell made me gag.  I had to leave and come back later to even use the facility.  The reason for the smell...the dump station is directly behind the bathhouse.  With everyone dumping at the same time, the odors flooded the restrooms.  It was horrid.  

    The firepits in our area were awkwardly situated, the one for our site was up on the hill under a tree and on the site beside us, the firepit was right next to our site under a tree.  A fire hazard being under trees and awkward for guests beside us to have to be all but on our site to use theirs. 

    The staff were friendly and kind.  Timothy is one of the staff that works around the grounds, he's a very hard worker and always polite anytime we interacted with him.  He was even very helpful to the other staff.  I want to recognize him for his hard work and dedication to his job.  

    Overall this was an okay stay, but I would steer away from this campground if you aren't particularly skilled at leveling your rig and you can't get one of the more level sites.  The most level sites are 1-23.


Guide to Brownsville

Camping sites around Nolin River Lake offer a mix of water and electric hookups along with lakeside access. Elevation in this region averages between 600-800 feet, with summer highs often reaching 85-95°F. Several parks stay open from May through September, with limited winter camping options since most facilities close during colder months.

What to do

Fish at Moutardier Campground: Located on Nolin River Lake, this campground draws fishing enthusiasts. "Moutardier Campground is a fisherman's paradise. It is located on Nolin River Lake. Our site was lakeside which was beautiful (Site D6)," notes one Moutardier visitor.

Kayak around the lake: Several campgrounds offer direct lake access for paddlers. "We kayaked around the lake which was very enjoyable - saw ducks, and birds such as a grey heron. Also lots of fish jumping," reports a Moutardier camper.

Hike nearby trails: Some campgrounds maintain short walking paths. "There is also a two mile hike that is in the campground called Shady Creek Trail. It looked like it had not been hiked in a while but it went through woods, small stream and had a cool rock formation," according to one review at Moutardier.

Visit local restaurants: Small eateries near camping areas provide local fare. "Right outside Moutardier Campground on Rt 2067 is Sherry's Red Roof restaurant (open Sunday! And local fare; catfish, ribs, spuds, fried appetizers and ice)," mentions a camper.

What campers like

Lake views: Most sites at Dog Creek Campground offer views of Nolin Lake. "Seems all sites have a lake view. Less than half full sun-Tuesday. Stayed at a006. Very close to beach," according to one recent visitor.

Quiet atmosphere: Even during busy periods, the area remains relatively peaceful. "We chose to camp in a primitive site and ended up right on the lake. We are here during the week so it's really nice and quiet!!" notes a camper at Dog Creek.

Halloween activities: Seasonal events make fall camping particularly appealing. "Family friendly Halloween fun. Has a decorating contest with trick or treat in the campground. Safe and clean with lots of restrooms and lake front sites," reports a Wax Campground visitor.

Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region maintain well-kept bathrooms and grounds. "A wonderful campground with electric, water, dump station. Nolan Lake is beautiful. Campground extremely well maintained, quiet," notes one camper about Wax Campground.

What you should know

Train noise: Some campgrounds have nearby railroad tracks. "Do not camp close to the railroad tracks. Loud horns in the middle of the night," warns a Cave Country RV Campground visitor.

Weather considerations: The region can experience severe storms. "The storm was raging. I had to wait for a lull to go to the office to get paperwork, then wait again to get back to the truck... Then the quarter + sized hail joined in," reports a camper at Singing Hills.

Campsite positioning: Sites vary significantly in terms of shade and access. "Site selection is all important at this campsite. Some have wonderful lake access, shade, and a bit of seclusion. Others no trees, no lake, in the middle of everyone," advises a Dog Creek camper.

Limited winter options: Most campgrounds close during colder months, though some remain open. "Open year round too!" notes one visitor about Singing Hills Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Look for kid-friendly activities: Some campgrounds offer fishing opportunities suitable for children. "The dog park was just a run area but fairly large with a covered seating area at one end and the pups loved using it," notes one visitor to Cave Country RV.

Book sites early: The most desirable family spots fill quickly, especially during summer. "Our site was lakeside which was beautiful (Site D6). This campsite offered electric/water hookup, fire pit, picnic table, filet table, bathrooms, and showers," reports a Moutardier camper.

Prepare for minimal shade: Many lakeside sites lack tree cover. "Lacking in restrooms and shade trees. Good for boaters as there is a nice sand bank to pull your boat up to," warns a Dog Creek visitor.

Check out playgrounds: Several campgrounds have play areas. "3 playgrounds with safe clean equipment. Plant of lake view sites and positioned to provide a semi private experience," reports one Singing Hills visitor.

Tips from RVers

Find level sites: Many RV pads require additional leveling. "Gravel, mostly flat, pads with lots of shade trees. Very quiet. Sits on Lake Nolan, which is huge," notes a Wax Campground visitor.

Plan for water connections: Some parks have unusual water hookup positions. "Our water hookup was weird…it ended up under our back bumper were we had to crawl under to connect," reports a Singing Hills camper.

Prepare for waste management: Not all RV parks offer full hookups. "Pros: 50 AMP, Water, Overlooking Nolin Lake. Cons: No sewer (dump station only), Limited cell service, No wifi," mentions a Diamond Caverns RV Resort visitor.

Consider camping loops carefully: Different areas within the same campground can offer varying experiences. "Section C has some of the nicer site, even one with a little lagoon perfect to launch your yaks from," advises a Dog Creek visitor.
