TravelerThe reviews I’ve read are pretty accurate. Most sights are not very level. The water is too far away. Nice park, the trails are rugged, we walked uphill both ways. Trails are not well marked either, it’s an interesting feeling getting lost in such a small space. Restrooms/showers could use an update. But hey, we’re camping. Overall recommended.
TravelerPros: natural setting, clean bathrooms Cons: unlevel campsites, no sewer hookups, self-check in, outdated, non-air conditioned bathrooms, no laundry facilities
ScoutWe didn’t have reservations but Tammy and Billy were wonderful. The bathrooms are nice and clean. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot this is it.
TravelerIt’s a nice campground. There’s room for about eight or nine RVs and lock the tent camping. The trees are all small so you’re out in the kind of a area with a lot of sun. I can’t speak to the Wi-Fi here because I’m using Starlink. The only caution is if we get heavy, heavy rains in the spring, some bits of this campground blood so be careful picking a site avoid the fourth from the road.
ScoutI stayed here from May 11-16, 2026. I was backed up to the creek (I will say, the first few sites that back up, you can’t actually see the creek from your spot because of bushes). The first 4 nights I could see the creek and it was lovely. Each spot has a fire pit and picnic table which was very nice. They direct you to your spot and help you back in and the bathrooms are cleaned daily. I thought it was extremely affordable and I would definitely stay there again.
TravelerEach lot has a small paved "driveway" for the camper to sit on, and the lot itself is very grassy and has lots of trees around. Bathrooms were very clean, seemed quite new and in good repair. Everyone staying at the campground was quiet and polite. 10/10 would stay here again!
TravelerThey are currently closed for renovation. We showed up needing some rest and the owner found us a place to park for the night. Will definitely come back when they reopen. It's a beautiful area.
TravelerWe had such a good time we extended our trip. Only 3 mile of trails, but fabulous for the family and well kept. Creek is great to play in. So much wildlife. The campground and facilities were in great shape. The only minor issue was the camp store and museum only open Thursday -Sunday, but we were visiting early in the season. Paved campground is great for bikes, scooters and roller skates! Spigots are far from some.of the sites and you may need more than a 50 ft hose for water hook up.
LegendGreat Location for Buffalo Trace, Woodford, Whiskey Thief, Wild Turkey, and castle key. Price is a bit stiff for amenities offered, but nice level concrete sites with stable electric
