    Jefferson Memorial Forest features a campground for tent camping and can accommodate both families and groups. Although the Forest is only minutes from Metro Louisville, camping here seems like a much more remote camping experience. Located within the Horine Reservation, the campground is in the uplands of the Forest and has good separation between individual campsites. Seven family campsites and four group campsites are available. Latrines and water are near to all the sites.

    Dirty Derby

    WE went to this KOA during the kentucky derby weekend, so of course you can expect it to be packed, we made reservations months ahead. When we got there is was not only packed, but there was no one enforcing the quiet hours, and it seemed like the cleaning staff could not keep up. There were loud people all through the night, and trash was overflowing everywhere. I'm not sure what it's like during other weeks of the year, but during the kentucky derby week it is a hot mess.

    Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

    Cute but small

    We decided to go down for a weekend to see how we'd like it. It's situated high up on the Kentucky river bank which is nice but there's little access to the riverbank except from the floating dock and boat ramp. When we arrived there was left overs from the previous flood which made it very muddy. It's definitely dog friendly but with no trails to really walk them on. We found a game trail that took us down to the riverbank at the end of the campground and found a goat hanging in a tree from the previous flooding. Perfect campground for partiers who don't respect quiet hours and those who stay at their camper the whole time.

    $15/night; Jefferson Memorial Forest Family Campgrounds

    Having lived 62 years in Kentucky, less than twenty minutes from the Jeff. Forest, leaving to explore USA, then returning to my home state allows me a unique point of view. The seclusion here and the closeness to nature is a grand slam! Due to fall, the sites seem much closer than they are due to the thinning foliage. Friendly neighbors, standard picnic table/fire pit/port-a-potties/potable water. Roomy campsite and room for my son to visit in his car with my van parked inside the campsite. Lots of trees for hammocking. Lots of downed wood for easy collecting, lots of trails ranging from 1.5 to 13.0 miles through gorgeous mixed forest of old and new growth deciduous and coniferous hardwoods.

    Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

    Great park next to the river

    This is a small well maintained campground right on the Kentucky river. It is down in a hollow which makes it secluded and quiet. There is a dock and a boat ramp. The customer service is exceptional. Under new management since November, they are making some very nice upgrades. 30/50 amp full hook ups with a number of pull throughs. The sites next to the river are level and easy to back into. There is a pavilion and a pool. It is about 30 minutes from Lexington and about 8 miles to the closest town. The one lane road coming in might give you the willies but it is worth it. They have 5 WiFi connections making this some of the best campground WiFi I have ever had. This is a lovely spot with nice amenities.

    Very nice campground

        We stayed at this KOA many years ago on our way home. I again needed an overnight stop on our way home & booked here again. WOW! things have changed.

     We got a fabulous patio site that was twice the size of our camper. It had a gorgeous view of the Kentucky hills. Full hook up.

    The sites all looked very nice. They had teepees, covered wagons & a couple of treehouses. A nice area for tents as well.

    The pond is catch & release. 

    The pool wasn't open yet.

     The bathrooms were outstanding! Recently remodeled? Clean as well.

    They had a nice camp store I really didn't get to explore. 

    So many activities for kids.

     The worst thing I can say about it is there is highway noise from I-65, but really I feel we've had worse.

     Looks like a nice base camp for the surrounding area.

     Thanks office ladies for the Derby pie!

    Great bath house, some nice sites

    They have recently built a new bath house and it’s awesome. It has rooms that each have a toilet, sink and shower. Total privacy! Nice and clean as well. Big points for this amenity.

    We had a new site, 6, totally paved and great view of the conestoga wagons and pastures. Came with a movable fire pit and nice picnic table. I think it’s the best site.

    Our main issue was the dump station, horrible layout. What takes us maybe 10 minutes took over 25. Plan ahead or decide to dump elsewhere.

    The area around the KOA is a bit suspect. You can see an adult store, pass a confederate store on the way into the KOA and have business that are abandoned . While the KOA cannot prevent these things it’s worth noting for travelers. The KoA is a 4 star, if I factored in the area it would be a 3.

    Easy trip down to Mammoth Cave. Very close to Hidden River and Kentucky Down Under.

    Stayed at site 5. We really liked The campground. The old part had plenty of shade the newer part not so much. The new bathhouse was nice. The old bathhouse needs some updating. They were both clean. Hosts were nice and helpful. We will be back.

    Nice Campground

    Overall it’s a very nice, clean campground. We were in A2 and it was a little closer to the road than we expected, and the picnic tables were secured to the ground taking up a good bit of the site for our rug and chairs. The dump stations are a little tricky I felt like but overall a good campground and would go back. Practically no cell service with Verizon or AT&T

    Great location and power supply issues

    Location was excellent, close to the water. They have a known power issue, 30amp service went out several times at the pole. Their solution was to use less appliances. There are other campgrounds on the lake that I would choose instead of this one for that reason. The site itself was fine, and if not for the power issues we would come back.

    Nothing ever fixed

    This campground is clean and the campsites are decent. However, our campsite had two stumps there were hard to work around when backing up the camper in the dark. If you need to use the showers or bathroom, they never fix anything. One bathroom hasn’t had electric in two years and another women’s bathroom only has hot water in one shower and the hand dryers don’t work.

    Beautiful

    I gave Smith Ridge 5 stars because it offers a lot of great fishing spots and beautiful views. There isn't but maybe one trail there, and it's unmarked. It could use some updating. There are cabins available to rent, a beach, and boat ramp available to those that wish to fish. There is also houseboats available at Smith Ridge as well.

    Nice and secluded

    We stayed in the new section just pass the entrance on the right! It’s a one way loop thru the woods that brings you back out on main campground road. The campground sets on a point with woods all the way around. There is plenty of shade with hiking path and a playground for kids. Only down fall is if you want to swim you’ll have to drive about a mile to the swimming area.

    COE Green River Lake Smith Ridge

    Loved it!

    Loved it! I've been to a couple of CoE campgrounds before but this is now my favorite one. I had Site 31 right beside the Woodland Trail entrance but you're pretty close to the lake (the boat ramp is about a 1/2 mile as the crow flies) and you're close to town (about 3 1/2 miles roughly) if you need to resupply. Each of the sites came with a stack of firewood already in place when you got there.

    Great Park

    I give it 4 not 5 because no cell signal so it’s rustic camping which is good for some but not so much when alone. Sites 1-30 are wooded and semi private. 31-80 are set more in a park complete with playground and street lights near the bath house.

    Spacious, Peaceful Campgrounds

    I am currently here and I gotta say I am impressed. The bathrooms are clean, I am not close to my neighboring campers, the parking spots are huge, and it's a great area to walk around.

    Green River Lake

    Name works, it’s very green, there’s a river and a lake. Just stopped here passing through, was very well cared for. Lots of clean facilities and stuff to do, mostly water-related (who knew KY has beaches?). Some easy trails on site. Open campsite, big shade trees though.

    Quiet location

    Beautiful location. Site on the water, next to the beach. A rustic campground with temperamental electric and no bath house. Nice hiking trail.

    Pikes Ridge

    Simple rural camping

    Not much to do on site if you don’t have a boat. Swimming on site. Nearby there are historic sites and lots of hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking at Green River Lake State Park.

    Yay: nice big campsites

    Nay: All the RV sites are extremely open so there’s no shade or privacy, but everyone has the same lovely view. Just a few sites are among the trees at the edge of the forest but further from the water.

    Surprise: head into town for some adorable diners...forget the name but the caretaker will know.

    Worth the trip

    Many of the sites have a view of the water. The sites are well separated leaving a lot of room for the kids and walking the dog as well.

    There is a nice beach but no lifeguard. Lots of shade trees as well.

    Great place for boaters and kayakers. There are multiple docks to set at and a put in road as well.

    Note that not all sites have any hookups. At best, you will get water and electric for 30 and 50amp. Dump station is available. There were no bathhouses. Porta Potties only.

    This is a quiet area with some boaters rolling buy but nothing that would disturb a nap.

    Best part was that we were at site 18 and the beach was 8 yards away.

    Waterfront oasis

    This is an extremely beautiful campground. Peaceful to watch the flocks of wild Turkey graze, or watch the deer frolicking by the playground.

    You can relax here, because you are home.

    Decent place

    Staff as always been very friendly, sites are very spacious, there are trails for hiking, a playground and a beach. Only negatives are no showers and not much shade unless you get a site on the edge of the woods

    Green River Lake State Park Campground

    Good spot for exploring the river

    Our primitive site had a view of the river and a single tree for shade. Many of the other campsites had ample shade, so definitely check before you reserve, if possible. Lots of amenities (like newly installed WiFi and a store) that we didn’t use the two days we were there, but had we stayed longer I’m sure we would have appreciated them. There were a lot of RVs and families there, so don’t expect it to be quiet in the campground. That’s what kayaking is for!

    We stopped in nearby Greensburg on the way to rent a kayak, as we’d heard the closest marina(s) to the campground only had pontoons and larger craft. The river itself was wonderful to explore via kayak, and we ended up barely hiking.
