"We stayed in the new section just pass the entrance on the right! It’s a one way loop thru the woods that brings you back out on main campground road."
"I had Site 31 right beside the Woodland Trail entrance but you're pretty close to the lake (the boat ramp is about a 1/2 mile as the crow flies) and you're close to town (about 3 1/2 miles roughly) if"

GuideHelpful and over-the-top nice office staff. We arrived early and they made room for us. First site was a concrete pad, we were assigned a different site when our original reservation was scheduled, but we went to office to say it was too unlevel for us. They kindly found us a spot that was great.
GuideWell I really have nothing bad to say, it’s a country setting on the outskirts of Bardstown, KY. It’s just a few miles away from the scenic parts of town.
I did not use the shower or restrooms here, so can’t really say much about those. (Since most campers these days have these)
It is a large campground and my one and only complaint/suggestion is the area where my camper was set had grass in desperate need of attention. This could and should be a really nice place with just a bit more attention.
The staff at check in were exceptionally friendly and drove us to our site.
ScoutGreat for RV, good electric, sewer and WiFi. bathhouse a little rough but usable.frendly host. Very Quiet, nice rest 20 miles off of I65
GuideHad a great stay in the water/electric section (no sewer), right on the water. It was shoulder season during weekday so most of the campground was empty. Everything worked. Laundry and bathhouses are old but work. Bring leveling blocks because of variations on each of the gravel sites. Very affordable!
ScoutLate check in was smooth, we lucked out with a sure right across from pool AND CONCRETE, sure B3. We did have to share water with out neighbor, sites are narrow and close to each other. Even on the concrete pad, we had to level side to side
GuideWow, 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. ❤️
ScoutWe have enjoyed our stay here at The Point Campground & Farm. Our kids had a blast catching fish in the pond and exploring the large property. We will definitely be back.
ScoutVery close to Mammoth cave, peaceful area, clean bathrooms
ScoutThis 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!
