Best Campgrounds near Cave City, KY

Wow, where to start. We were told that there was a lot of water on the ground from the last few days. We pulled in later than we hoped to, because of stormy weather. When we arrived at 815pm,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. I drove around the office and the storm blasted us again, making it impossible to see, so I just pulled into the closest site and called it good. Then the quarter + sized hail joined in. It was a crazy night, with a tornado hitting a town just 28 miles away. So onto the review- Beth is awesome! She said I could stay where I had parked, or move to another site. I chose to move. Because of having to move, she gave me the 1st night free! When I got set up at the new site, I needed to use my extension cord, but the GFI did not work. So Eldon (Beth's husband) brought down a 30a extension cord to use. These folks are simply amazing, caring people. They want everyone to have the best experience possible. ❤️

This RV resort is located conveniently 15-20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park. Also there are a lot of places to eat nearby. The staff/owners are all very friendly. I used the laundry room and it was kept very clean. They have a pool and I wish it were open when we were there but it was still closed from the winter.

I really like and appreciate the dog park where I took my dogs to run and play to get some exercise and they really enjoyed it, too.

I took away a star because there is a train that goes by about every 20-40mins and it is quite loud. But not a deal breaker for me. I would return here again!

The only thing the manager wants to do is catch people's cats and not tell people where the cats are being taken, threaten to evict people if they don't maintain pest control for their individual sites even though the cockroach infestation is campground-wide and no individual tenant's fault, and harass people who don't nod and agree wuth everything she says. She'll also let people get away with blatant animal abuse (keeping KITTENS, literal actual KITTENS) in a tiny cage in 90+ degree weather with no food or water and TAKE THE ABUSER'S SIDE when the kittens are released. She and her boyfriend/husband/whoever that dude is will BOTH speed through the campground when they're pissed. If you see tire tracks in the gravel, it's theirs.

Never been so glad to get out of a place in my life. They run it like a prison, not a campground.

Oh and I forgot to mention their little "security" henchman they have SNOOP AROUND PEOPLE'S RVS AT NIGHT WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW! I only found out after catching him looking under my RV without my permission but apparently WITH D's permission! And he does it to everyone's RVs! The manager(s) are insane.

Spent the last 2 weeks of the season here and enjoyed our stay. We had daily deer visitors at our site and went trout fishing too. The walking trails around the brooke and campground were easy enough even for someone with limited mobility. I would ask COE to correct the women's handicap shower. The hand held shower head is missing even though there is a connection port for it. Shower house is not heated and it is extremely uncomfortable....Be prepared to keep pressing a button every 55 seconds to get water. In addition, there is no way to control water temperature for your shower. In my opinion, this is something that needs to be addressed. The washing machine was out of order.... And the ole sayin"treat things as you would your own" comes to mind and it would be our hope that people would see the benefit in keeping things nice for all to use. The camp host made rounds on the golf cart every few hrs....which is appreciated:) UPDATE: Now both washers have been removed from the annex campground....and we have a week left. Kinda of a crappy thing to do to people....with no warning.
