ScoutCummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River
Very dangerous to access
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This campground has a very steep incline/decline to get to the campground. The reason you cannot come onto the property before 2 pm is that the road leading to the campground makes it very dangerous for two RV's to pass which the operators don't tell you. Instead they charge you$25 and yell at you if you come to their property before 2 pm. Their email only refers to entering their property not to the road leading to the property. There is no sign on the country road leading to the property so you never know when the reduced street size and incline/decline starts. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!! I ALSO CONTACTED THE COUNTY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED THIS CAMPGROUND WITHOUT SOME TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO AVOID THAT TWO RV'S PASS EACH OTHER AT ANY TIME.
Also they seemed to have sewer issues as we could not leave our sewer access open as it stank to much.

Camp Nelson RV Park
Needs updating.
A lot of permanent rundown trailers parked haphazard as the sites are not laid out nicely. Stray cats running around. Muddy at the sites. Saving grace was clean bathhouse but who ever heard of automatic showers? Wasting a lot of water.

Three Springs Campground
Somewhat run down & unkempt
Starting with the good, it is reasonably close to the freeway yet far enough away not to be bothered by road noise. Wi fi was mostly usable. Electrical power was stable. Estimate , if the park was probably half full of campers , some long term , some transit. Was quiet. On the other hand, the place was unmowed with grass 6 to 8 inches high throughout the entire facility. A zero turn mower set unused vext to the office. Some of the water spigots were broken and hoses were strewn about so that people could get it water from different spigots to different sites. What's the worst was the bathroom in showers. A couple of people here and said they were clean , but either there definition of clean was different , or they've been a significant lack of labor to keep them up. In the men's side, there was mold all along the floors at the caulking edges.There was wadded up wet toilet paper smashed on the wall of 2 of them.The ceilings were covered in old cobwebs and fresh spider nests. The floors were quite dirty. Over half of the sites aren't level, so if you use this place bring leveling chocks/plates for your tires if not hydraulically leveled. This facility has a great deal of potential with a bit of money and some elbow grease.

Nothing fancy
Pros: natural setting, clean bathrooms Cons: unlevel campsites, no sewer hookups, self-check in, outdated, non-air conditioned bathrooms, no laundry facilities

Cute and Quite
We 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.

Don't ask for a refund if you can't park there!
The manager at this RV park assaulted me and snatched my iPhone out of my hand! Are you kidding me?? The video was edited(shortened) because these review sites won't allow anything more than 30 seconds. BUT what was said by both of us beforehand and afterwards doesn't matter. The fact is she's supposed to be the professional and she not only called me a"d*ck" and an"a**hole", but she proceeded to violently take my phone out of my hand and refused to give it back. I ultimately talked her into giving it back but WHO DOES THIS? She later actually punched me in the face. Yeah! Right in the face. But unfortunately, the video started and when she got on me, I guess I accidentally hit the stop button I was so scared. What was I scared of? Because, in the professions I've had, you learn that people are capable of anything. I didn't know if she was armed. I know I wasn't. I called 911 and am going to pursue the prosecution of her for assaulting a person over 60 yrs old, which is a felony. These types of animals do not need to be on our streets much less managing a nice RV park. This all came about because the sewer pipe on my motorhome is only 5" off the ground when parked. The lot she gave me has a sewer inlet pipe that sits over a foot off the ground meaning the feces would have to flow uphill to work. When I pointed this out, this manager said,"that's your problem, you'll have to figure it out". When I asked for a refund, she said no way and started in on my calling me vulger names(she did this several times). What professional person dealing with the public does this? She also refused to move me to another site saying she doesn't have any, but anyone can look around and see the park is not even half full- so, that's a lie. Annndddd, there's more! But I'll be posting every day on this site(and many others), so I’ll address more tomorrow and in the coming days and weeks.

Been going there for years. Sites are tight, but well ran park.
Clean, professional campground. Sites loops are tight but people with big fifth wheels were able to manage just fine. The fish were biting the weekend I was there!

Yuck!
This isn’t a campground…it’s a run-down trailer park. The only sites for mobile campers is up front and surrounded by ratty lots full of trailers with junk all around d them.
No attention to lawn detail…overgrown and needs to be trimmed.
But that’s not the worst…there were two pre-teen boys playing around the playground…and around our lot. Right after dark, a pre-teen boy came up to our camper, slammed our entry assist handle and locked it over…locking us in the camper. Fortunately, my wife was in the bath-house. It scared my young daughters. They later came again, knocking on the side of the camper and taunting us. There were no other kids around…I then saw them go into the manager’s house….
It was dirty, unsafe, and a pleasure to leave…just gross.
Guide to Georgetown
The Georgetown area sits at an elevation of around 900 feet in Kentucky's Inner Bluegrass region, characterized by rolling hills and limestone-rich soil. Glamping sites near Georgetown typically remain accessible year-round with average summer temperatures reaching the mid-80s. Several luxury camping destinations maintain proximity to major attractions while providing dedicated creek-side locations that offer both privacy and convenience.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: A.J. Jolly Park & Campground features multiple fishing spots on its 175-acre lake stocked with bass, catfish, and crappie. "Amazing place for the price and proximity to the city!! Just wish there was more hiking trails," notes one camper, highlighting the accessibility of outdoor activities within a short drive from Georgetown.
Horseback adventures: The equestrian facilities at A.J. Jolly provide accommodations specifically designed for visitors traveling with horses. According to one visitor, "Overnighted here with my horses on my way south for the winter, but will definitely be coming back and spending more time. Stall accommodations are excellent, even include bedding."
River exploration: Cummins Ferry RV Park offers direct Kentucky River access with boat ramp facilities and docks. "If you have a boat" this location provides excellent river recreation options, though one reviewer notes there's "Nothing to do here unless you have a boat," emphasizing the water-focused nature of this destination.
What campers like
Well-maintained facilities: General Butler State Resort Park earns praise for its clean amenities and orderly grounds. "Quiet sites and lots of amenities," reports one visitor, with another adding that "The lodge lets campers use the pool 4-7 pm for free which is nice."
Helpful staff: The attentiveness of campground hosts makes a significant difference in the glamping experience. At Three Springs Campground, one visitor noted: "Quiet 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)."
Natural water features: Multiple campgrounds incorporate streams and waterways as part of their ambiance. At Three Springs, a recent guest mentioned: "Well kept campground with a pond. Bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Lots of stars at night!" This combination of water features and dark skies creates ideal conditions for evening relaxation.
What you should know
Site selection considerations: Carefully research specific site characteristics when booking luxury camping accommodations. At Lake Shelby Campground, a visitor advised: "Use your best judgment. Some spots are tight and a few are directly in front of others so that spectacular water view may not be available if there's a big RV in front of you."
Seasonal variations: Weather conditions impact glamping experiences throughout the year. In summer, prepare for humidity and mosquitoes, particularly near water features. One camper at A.J. Jolly warned about "Mosquitoes the size of jet fighters" depending on the time of year.
Access limitations: Some glamping destinations require navigation through challenging terrain. At Cummins Ferry, guests should note the "one lane road coming in might give you the willies but it is worth it," according to a recent visitor who also praised the five WiFi connections that provided "some of the best campground WiFi I have ever had."
Tips for camping with families
Playground accessibility: Oak Creek Campground offers family-friendly amenities including a "pool and new dog park with a very nice play area for the kids," making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Educational opportunities: General Butler State Park provides historical learning experiences through its maintained historic house. As one visitor noted, "The Butler Mansion was well taken care of though we didn't make it there when it was open," suggesting families should check operating hours before planning a visit.
Safety considerations: When glamping with children near water features, select sites with appropriate safety measures. Three Springs Campground has accommodations that allow families to enjoy water features safely, with one visitor noting the site has "a small water hole for catch-and-release fishing" that provides controlled water access for younger campers.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: RV glampers should come prepared with leveling equipment. At A.J. Jolly Park, an experienced RVer shared: "None are level looking so you will need to know what your doing to level your rig. I'm in a class a 35 foot motorhome... The sites I'm at are on a hillside so think theatrical style site."
Hookup locations: Pay attention to utility placement when selecting sites. According to a visitor at Three Springs: "I deducted a star from overall and value rating only due to no direct sewer connection. Although they do have a dump station, I prefer to have a direct hook-up."
Size restrictions: Verify your RV size against site dimensions before booking. One camper at Lake Shelby noted: "Came here in our 40' class A. Very weird at first as the sites are 20 feet long, but they allow front ends to stick out," highlighting the need to understand specific parking arrangements when bringing larger rigs to glamping destinations.
