Well kept campground with a pond. Bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Lots of stars at night!

Great hosts, quiet camping location, 5 minute drive into town. No, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but we don’t need all that stuff. I’d rather pay a cheaper price than to stay at a place with activities going on all the time and so much noise you can’t enjoy the countryside.

My family visited Louisville South at the beginning of June for an extended family trip.
Pros- Lots of activities for kids. Nice pool, great playground, bounce pad. Bike rental. Decent (not spectacular) hiking trails. The RV sites with patio were very nice, but could be bigger.
Cons- some (not all) of the staff. One lady in particular was always rude, and didn’t like answering questions. There was a security light for the bounce pad that was on all night long, and thoroughly illuminated the adjacent tent sites. My brother’s family of 6 did not sleep well. This is something that is easily corrected by installing a shade over one edge of the light, but the staff didn’t seem to care.
GuideIf you’re looking for a quiet campground in a semi-rural setting, this is the place for you. No frills, full hookups for 50 amp. No laundry on site and only one local laundromat. Super Walmart and Kroger within 5 or so miles. There’s a lake on-site but requires a medium sized hike downhill and through undergrowth. Shade is at a premium as there aren’t many trees.
GuideThe staff are super helpful. The site we had was for a 38’ RV. Full hookups, dog park, lots of places to walk, even trails. We had a great stay here and will most likely come back next time we’re near Louisville.

We stayed two nights in our small mobile home. The pluses were electric and water hookups, and the beauty of the area. The trees were at peak color! The minuses were that some of the sites were very narrow, and some had a huge drop off from the camping pad to the grass. You almost have to drive there and look at the sites one by one to make sure what you're getting! Having said that, the area is well lighted and boasts a beautiful (though not really as easy as advertised) trail around the lake.

Loved this campground growing up! We tent camped and our relatives RV camped. However they have cut down most of the trees, the facilities aren’t maintained very well and the campground/park looks more run down than ever. It’s sad but I hope they update and maintain it more in the future.
ScoutThis is a super clean campground. Like amazingly maintained. If you are looking for a family campground I wouldn't stay here. This is not a kid friendly place. There is not space for them to run around. There is supposed to be a playground but there isn't which is why I did 4 stars.
If you want somewhere clean, to stay in your camper or just in a chair right outside, This is perfect. If you need somewhere to be for a night to leave the next day it's great.
It's not a good campground to explore or do anything at. Not a good one for kids under the age of 16, there is just nothing to do. When we were here 2 if the 3 trails were closed. We won't stay here again because it just isn't a good fit for us. But if you aren't looking for a family campground, then this is probably ideal for you.
ScoutSites too close together. Clean showers and restrooms. Not much for a family to do.
No playground for the kiddos, a small water hole for catch-and-release fishing.
Really nice for off-site attractions (Creation Museum, Ark Encounter)
No The Dyrt discount, Did offer Senior and Museum discount of 10%
GuideWell this is our last stop before we go home. The campground was very nice. Lots to do for the kiddos. Worth going back for a longer stay.
TravelerIt wasn’t exactly rustic but you couldn’t ask for much more just 10 miles from the ark . They have a few hiking trails and a creek the kids caught crawfish in.
TravelerGeneral Butler State Park it’s about my favorite park, it’s clean,  And the camping spaces aren’t real close together, and the restrooms are clean It’s quiet and it’s close to home.
ScoutStayed overnight here just for a quick stop on our way from Wisconsin to the Smokey Mountains … bathrooms were in pretty rough shape and not cleaned at all. For the price it’s not terrible, but not clean at all.

Clean and quiet. Very nice park. Clean restrooms and showers.
GuideQuiet campground especially off season. Would come again
TravelerGreat park for quiet camping. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. All have electric hookup...others are full service. Many relatively secluded sites. Bath houses clean. Multiple hiking trails which can be mixed and matched for longer hikes..all moderate.
ScoutGreat cozy area with good hook ups, friendly staff and good spacing. Will absolutely come back again especially with the proximity to the city but having peace and quiet to the south. The walking trail was much longer than expected and really nice.
TravelerFun little place. RV sites and tent sites lakeside. Fishing, ducks. $5 swimming pool nearby. $20/night tents. Showers and restrooms. Nice parks nearby for equestrian, playground, disk golf course. Huge mall nearby in Simpsonville KY. Drivable to Louisville. Stop at Wings n Rings, yum. Highly recommend. Closes for winter Oct 31 to tents.

Dangerous animals on site! My child was bit by a cat at the playground. The cat had been hanging out around the office and at the play ground for a few days while we were there. We asked the office to trap and monitor the cat per health department sugestion after ER visit following bite. The camp manager has given us several different stories about having trapped the cat and then not having the cat then her husband taking the cat to his siatera house. When animal control and Kentucky dpt of health talked to them they gave them all different stories too. Bottom line is they are dishonest people and have a dangerous animal on their property. Beware BEWARE!!! Especially if you have children!
TravelerI don't see how there could be tent camping here, there's no grass. But I wouldn't be able to verify anyway because there was no attendant in the office at 10 am on a Monday morning. No one answers the phone. Doesn't seem like much of a business.
GuideThis is a small campground with only one bath house. They are working to make improvements. It’s nice and quiet here. We are staying here so we can go to the Ark Encounter. Not a lot of camping available around here.
TravelerTent sites: steep hill with rodents living there. Gravel driveway leading to tent sites: a trench sure to rip the exhaust off your car. The RVers and workers: they make it obvious you are beneath them. Pets allowed: you WILL be up all night with the barking chihuaua on the next site. Airplanes flying over head as you are getting ready to sleep. Traverse the lawn to the faraway bathroom to ruin your shoes at 2am. Laundry on-site but the workers will scowl while you use it. Catch all this ire for the grand old price of $50+ per night.
TravelerCampground is OK. Camp hosts came to complain about their jobs when they greeted and met us, which made us uncomfortable enough to not stay here as long as we intended to. Campsites are not at all private, everyone will be sitting outside their tent or rv watching you. Felt like I was on TV. Not much for amenities, and some of the campsites were full of horse or dog poop. Be very careful which site you choose, or your tent will be full of feces and you'll sleep smelling it all night.
GuideQuiet lil place clean showers and bathrooms extremely friendly staff who will go out of their way to help you set up. (Was offered hoses and power cords if needed). I stayed in 4A and leveled with ease . It’s a back In Only but they are there with you to guide. Dog friendly which is a big bonus. Has some on site cats too. We are 36 class A but had many different sites available and some great looking primitive sites as well. We will be back to relax and get back to nature.
TravelerBasically it's a class a RV camp with tent options. I got stuck next to a guy who decided to throw a concert at midnight. If you like peaceful relaxation. Make sure not to be here during a weekend. Otherwise it is awesome. From rose island to the gorgeous main gate lady who is super nice. Everything is great. Just beware of the massive amount of rv's
TravelerWe stayed at Three Springs from 8/14-8/18 2022.
It's a delightful little campground with great atmosphere. The owners are very sociable and easy to work with... All sites are back in, but the owners escort you to your site and guides you into your spot. The ride from the main road down to the campground is narrow and difficult if you meet another vehicle, but most understand the Check-in and Check-out hours, so it's not much of an issue. The owners are currently renovating and upgrading several aspects of the park and adding a Laundry for campers.
Definitely on my "will stay again" list of campgrounds.
ScoutAwesome campground! We stayed for 6 days with full hook up. Didn’t really see a bad site!
