This park is located on the entrance road to Mammoth Caves NP, and it is a spectacular way to stay and enjoy the hiking in the caves!
The park was smaller than many Encore and Thousand Trails parks but offers all of the normal amenities including the pool, playground, clubhouses, putt putt and more. They have sites that are easy to get into, some pull through and some back in. They have full hookup and some partial hookups. There are many seasonal or permanent campers.
Cellular service was ok with TMobile and AT&T. Once you come away from the hills it is much better.
There are many local restaurants within 20 minutes and several other cave systems to see here as well.
LegendThis is an old campground that is only desirable because of its proximity to Mammoth Cave. The Thousand Trails website portrays it as being some oasis on par with their other campgrounds, but it is as far from luxury as it gets.
They claim to follow the same guidelines expected of other Thousand Trails locations, but there are many full timers at this campground with junk in their sites, flying their Trump flags, not picking up after their dogs.
Sites in row B are 30 amp hookups. Some sites has short concrete pads in between gravel while others are just gravel. I would not recommend the concrete pads as most of them are too short for most rigs and will make it challenging to level (and to leave without scraping).
Sites are tight. Be prepared to get friendly with your neighbor when you go outside because you essentially share the minimal amount of space between sites. Water spigots are also shared, which means you’ll have low water pressure if you’re both using water simultaneously. Sewer connections at our site were threaded, but there are no covers for when they’re not in use. The sewer hookups are also tied together underground, so be prepared to enjoy the smell of your black tank when you empty.
The electricity at the campground doesn’t appear to be able to handle the amount of load that most campers will pull in the summer months. The checkin packet recommends not running multiple high wattage appliances simultaneously (even if the total draw would be under the amperage of your site’s breaker).
Long story short, there are nicer places to stay that are just a short drive away. This place is a joke for $70 per night. Save your money and drive a few miles I further down the interstate. You won’t regret it.

I was traveling during everything shutting down, 2020, and feel lucky to have found this with lots of space between campers, all on gravel, and a pond and some long term people who seem to work there. Some families came and went the four days, and some overnight as they were headin to Canada, Massachusetts, and Texas. A small pond and field to walk or play on was a little wet when I came, dried out quickly, and another rain before I left Mar 26. There is a small number of items in the office for RVs and pop and ice cream. The proprietors want everyone to feel welcome and kids to have enough toys, fishin poles, and movies to borrow and return. I know I want to come back!
LegendDiamond Caverns RV Resort was an enjoyable stay on the edge of Mammoth Cave National Park. Right off of I65 it's a short drive to the campground.
Not much shade but the sites were well maintained. A pool, miniature golf and scheduled activities.
Traveler
Very clean campground and easy to set up with drive through sites that are level with full hook up.
Ranger
WOW we loved this park and caves and hikes, the kids could not stop talking and talking about the caves. This campground is close to the visitor center and you’ll need site reservations in summer. Showers are wonderfully hot but there’s no RV hookups. Our sites were pretty close to another but I think some of them had some more privacy. We met someone camping here with their horse which sounded like so much fun (but don’t worry the horse sites are farther away so no barn smells).
TravelerNice 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.

ScoutI am a long term camper. This park has all the utilities water, electric, sewer. I haven't had issues with the free wifi and am able to stream movies and TV with no buffering.
They have a community building with restrooms, showers, laundry, kitchen area, and mail pick up. They also have an outdoor community area with a fire pit, lounge chairs, and grill.
They have been having events for the children. Movie night, outdoor games, and a camp fire with smores.
It's quiet and 5 minutes away from town. Door dash delivers.
The manager is a sweetheart and makes sure any issues are taken care of.

We love this campground. If you are lucky enough to get one of the lake front spots the views are amazing. Some spots have full hook ups.
LegendOf all of our stays so far (RV resorts, state parks, private campground)...Defeated Creek is our hands-down favorite. **Edited to say...salt lick has it beat in our opinion. It was beautiful, clean and peaceful. Our beautifully shaded site backed up to Cordell Hull Lake, and we had front row seating to the most exquisite sunsets. People were very friendly and the general consensus was that defeated creek is everyone’s favorite campground. And we have our eye 👁 on site #71 for next time! Primo spot! We had site #47 and it was massive...plenty of room for everything even our cornhole set. Book way ahead...it books up fast.
Tip💡: follow WAZE directions rather than RV Trip Wizard!!! Trip wizard took us a bass ackward way through winding narrow back roads only to end up on the highway we were originally on!👎🏻
Scout
Campground has Cabins, Bunk house, full hook-ups and primitive spots. There are stalls and tie lines with round pens and paddocks scattered around. Trail system is wonderful with all the views anyone could ask for. Love this place will be coming back!!!
ScoutClose to Mammoth Cave State Park. Space 37 was large. Park is older and the amenities are very little. Full hook up, nice open spaces. Town is not to far. The staff was very nice, shared the local information and offered any further service let them know
Scout
Great spot. Full hook ups at many spots. Sites are in cul de sacs. Lake is beautiful and really close. Staff is super nice and helpful. Nice playgrounds and pools. WiFi is not currently working. AT&T and Verizon service is good. Lots of wildlife around. Nice hiking trails.
Ranger
We camped here when we did a trip to Mammoth Cave NP. This campground has plenty of campsites and some cabins. They offer long term stays here too. The campground is close to Lake Cumberland which is a beautiful very large man made lake. The campground itself has nice and clean bathrooms and showers and the staff is very nice and friendly. It has a pool, playground, and a nice game room. It is a bit off the beaten path but it was a pleasure staying here. The campsites are set up nicely with plenty of room and they even have small wooden fence dividers. Nice little touch.

We stayed at this KOA many years ago on our way home. I again needed an overnight stop on our way home & booked here again. WOW! things have changed.
We got a fabulous patio site that was twice the size of our camper. It had a gorgeous view of the Kentucky hills. Full hook up.
The sites all looked very nice. They had teepees, covered wagons & a couple of treehouses. A nice area for tents as well.
The pond is catch & release.
The pool wasn't open yet.
The bathrooms were outstanding! Recently remodeled? Clean as well.
They had a nice camp store I really didn't get to explore.
So many activities for kids.
The worst thing I can say about it is there is highway noise from I-65, but really I feel we've had worse.
Looks like a nice base camp for the surrounding area.
Thanks office ladies for the Derby pie!

This is a brand new, small campground with mini cabins. This is a perfect place to stay for a getaway to ride ATV’s in the Big South Fork and Pickett State Forrest area. The campsites are full hook up. Only 10 campsites, so it is not overcrowded. This would be a really great spot to meet up with several friends/family. The campground is also across the street from the Astronomy Field for dark sky viewing.
Con: Located on the highway, so you do have some road noise.
GuideCOE-Campground.
I love this campground, but hate the reservation system. Problem seeing sites booked, and the party no shows leaving a great site unavailable. Very frustrating. This reason knocks it down a couple notch’s on rating system.
Otherwise this is one of the best campgrounds in Tennessee. Beautiful lake views with rolling hills. Phone, TV, Satellite maybe unavailable on some sites. Campground does offers full
hook- up, however some sites do not have sewer or 50 amp. Great for families! Kayaking and fishing and also beach for swimming. Picnic table and fire ring at all the sites. Book early!
Traveler
Campsites are spacious with gravel campsites and paved rv parking at campsites. Water and electric at each site. Clean bathrooms with showers.
Traveler
Bit over priced. It went up each night we stayed. We had a fifth wheel on a standard gravel 30/50 amp site. Full hook up. Advertised internet but there wasn’t any in the section we stayed. There was a little shade in our area. The whole place is alternated by cabins and camping sites. There is grass between every site. Plenty of playgrounds, a pool and pond/beach. Golf cart rentals are $55 per day and people run them all day and night. Golf carts were playing music at midnight. This place does not sleep. And if you bring dogs, you must physically show them the rabies tag, they don’t check their email. Even though you pick a spot on their map they will change you to a different spot unless you pay the $35 extra to “lock in” a specific spot.
LegendMy family and I stayed here in a 34-foot travel trailer at the end of June. And it was hot! In the 90s. We were grateful for the large shade tree in front of our site and the full hook-ups to cool down our rolling home. The site was more than long enough for our TT and pick-up. The campground has about 40 sites that vary in size; some back-in, some pull thru. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. There is a large field in the back for group tent camping. A stocked, catch and release fishing pond with a fountain is next to the turnaround. The office sells snacks, drinks, ice cream, a decent selection of camping supplies, and a bunch of DVDs you can borrow. And let me tell you that the other reviews are true - the owners/operators are really the nicest people you will ever meet. They welcome you with genuine kindness, give you their cell phone numbers so you can reach them any time if you have a problem. They also give you written information/recommendations on the local services and attractions. And to top it all off, the prices are very affordable. So, yep. Highly recommend.

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.
TravelerThis 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.
TravelerClose to State Dock and free transportation from the RV park to the dock. Wooded area and facilities were very good.
RangerSinging 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.
GuideThis campground is well maintained and offers beautiful landscaping. It is close to the highway as well so for those looking for a quick stop.
