Western Kentucky RV Park in Central City offers 48 RV sites with full hookups including 30/50-amp electric service, water, and sewer. The park maintains clean facilities with showers and toilets, though site spacing remains tight with no picnic tables or fire rings. Hopewell RV Park, located 5 miles south of Western Kentucky Parkway on US-431, features 20 full hookup sites with 30/50-amp electric options and newer picnic tables. "This campground should be nothing more than an overnight stop over. Small campground, no fire rings, rude camp host and over priced."

Ohio County Park remains open throughout the year, providing consistent access for motorhome travelers.

"Trailers and RVs get water and up to 50 amp hookups. Our 4 night stay has warranted a portable waste tank purchased as they have 2/3 hookup. Very nice sites. 1/4 of them line the waterfront."
"Very few with shade, especially if you want "water front". Gravel pads are typically fairly level; water and electric at all but tent sites. Grass way overdue for cutting making it extra buggy."

GuideI came here an early November, and it has been very quiet. There is very little signal for AT&T, and my Starlink is not very helpful because many of the trees still have leaves on, and it makes for a dense canopy. Site C 079 is fine for my 23’ sprinter van, though I had to put two levels of blocks under the front to get close to level.
TravelerIt was ok for the night, we took the last spot cause it gave us barely 1 bar on Verizon enough to make a call & barely scroll Facebook bathroom and shower house was dirty so avoided that but nice for a spot and cheap
RangerThe sites are smaller than the photos show. Some are very uneven. Yes you can walk to the visitors center, depending where you are camped its almost a mile one way. (For those who have difficulty walking) The showers are not wheelchair accessible. Coin showers, but definitely hot. I had NO Verizon service at campsite.
GuideIf you want to be near the cave entrances and popular trails this is a great spot. Stayed in loop A and the bathroom was super clean. Can get noisy due to the road right next to the campsite.
GuideGet a lake view side and you won’t regret it. It’s a beautiful place well maintained very clean very safe
ScoutEverything is so clean and beautiful here. Tons to do and enjoy. Facilities are well kept!
TravelerThe campsites were very nice. The park is undergoing a few changes currently to better the campgrounds. But the trails were great (although we were covered in bug bite due to our failure to put on bug spray).
GuideVery nice park with great trails and cute animals in the included petting zoo! I don’t have kids but there were a couple playgrounds I saw. The 2 downsides were I went second week of August and it was 93 degrees but they had just closed the beach area and pool so no swimming. I had taken my paddleboard but had not read all the rules and regulations and no Paddleboard’s are allowed on the lake because swimming outside the beach area is not allowed. I stayed at a primitive site in my van so even though it was crazy hot I still had a great spot by the water-109. Would recommend this park
GuideFor a state park this one is a gem, well maintained grounds and facilities. We took a e-bike ride around the trails and saw the twigs it was a nice distraction on a hot hot day, there is a lake with a boat launch, would come back again if in the area the only negative is the less than engaged park staff at the office seem we were a bother when we asked a few questions
