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. ❤️
ScoutVery close to Mammoth cave, peaceful area, clean bathrooms
TravelerTruly the nicest folks I have met at campground so far. All lots are pull through. They have a huge pavilion for events, nice pool, showers, and very clean restrooms.
ScoutThe atmosphere isn't much but everything is very well kept and in good working order. Felt very welcome from the moment I showed up being greeted at my truck, checked-in and lead to my site by golf cart. Everyone I met was super friendly and the entire experience is charming. I'm definitely going to stay there every time I stop in Nashville.
TravelerWould return again, great access to lake front, easy in and out, very active with other campers

ScoutThey charge a $20.00 booking fee! Which was 50% the cost of my site! Are you kidding me! The thing is I never booked it, I walked in on a Tuesday when it wasn't busy. So the price was $68.00 for water and electric for one night not $40. It was also very noisey across the street from some rock/cement quarry.
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!
