"Campground is surrounded by lake. Has a beach for swimming and playgrounds for the kids."
"Easy check in and nice level sites close to the water. The newer section has very few trees for shade. The older section had plenty of shade and nice sites."

ScoutSouthern hospitality! Has horse camping with covered stalls. Great trails on Green River Lake State Park for hiking, biking & horses. Located close to boat ramps. You’ll be glad you chose Green River Stables!
LegendLocated very close to Bardstown and a lot of distilleries on the bourbon trail, the campground is great, very small fills up fast. Like most Kentucky state parks be prepared for required extensions to your power and water hoses because with exception of a couple of sites everything is at least 30 to 36' away from your hook up. Beware of site 19 and the site next to the dump station because on the map it looks far away but in reality as you can see in the pictures it is right on top one another and creates congestion on Sunday morning during checkout.
TravelerNo electric..but that could have changed, haven't been in a while. Great for kayaking, fishing, wading, hiking, sightseeing(areas close by to check out), also there are some swimming holes..just have to find them. can camp right by the creek and across the road is a few more spots. Get there early, because it is primitive, just to get a spot. Also, close by is a horse camp...actually a left turn prior to great meadows. Have fun.there is water and an enclosed bathroom. No showers
LegendYou will drive and drive and drive...and drive on the gravel road. However the road is good and the signage will get you there! Follow the little tent signs to Little Lick Horse Camp in the woods of Daniel Boone NF. The Nathan McClure trailhead is in the campground so there will be other traffic coming in. There are a few good size sites, with picnic table, fire ring and not much else. This is primitive, to include no toilet so bring your bucket or whatever you use.....remember Leave No Trace ;) Dark and starry skies, quiet and woodsy....try not to think about any scary wood based movies. Horses, llamas, trail bikes and dogs would be perfect for this campground. The sites are big enough for more then one tent or hammock. There are several other nice/challenging trails nearby and the Rattlesnake Motorcycle route in the area.
RangerGave it 2 stars only because of Bardstown & distilleries proximity. Not a level site to be found in this small park. As in most Kentucky parks the electric & water poles are 1 to 2 extension cords away. Again BRING PLENTY of BLOCKS!
ATT & Verizon were both usable.
GuideMy Old Kentucky Home State Park Campground is a small campground, clean, and friendly staff. There is a golf course on site. Plenty to see, including My Old Kentucky Home, the tour was amazing. Scout & Scholar Brewery was great. We will be back to spend time strolling the streets of Bardstown and taking a Distillery Tour. The campground is close to everything. There is a railroad museum in New Haven, KY

The park itself where the camping happens is actually pretty small as in one loop. We never saw a park representative. We were there on a weekday and we also did not interact with a host at the camp ground. It was very low key. It is right in town and by the main road so you will hear road noise.
It is also right next to a golf course. We hung out on the golf porch after hours enjoying the rocking chairs. We also drove by several of the local distilleries. The next morning we had donuts in town before we hit the road to our next campsite. https://www.hadornsbakery.com/
We didn't see any hiking trails but it is interesting to notice that they have a dog/bark park across the street that you can pay for access to for you and your 4 legged friend.

The primitive campsites by the main road do not even show up on the map or on the state's website. I am not sure how one would go about camping in the grassy area by the playground as they were nice spots.
The real reason why we came to the campground is because nearby is https://bernheim.org/ This was a wonderful place to hike and spend the day. We also got to see the forest giants. They recommend a donation of $10.00 per car and it was well worth it.
GuideThis campground is in a beautiful part of Kentucky. The town of Bardstown has a lot to do and number of great restaurants.
The campsite was great for our 34 ft class A, with 30A and water at the site. The site slope was moderate but easily leveled the motorhome.
A golf course is onsite, but a car is necessary to see the surrounding area. Visited a number of distilleries and just enjoyed the countryside.
LegendOff Ky Rt 80 in Daniel Boone National Forest, keep following the tent signs , they will get you to Little Lick Campground. This is a primitive little campground out in the middle of nowhere, however there are several awesome trailheads in the area, Nathan McClure TH right in the campground.
Bring your horse, bring your trail bike, bring your dogs. You might want to bring a generator too. Not a lot of sites but they are big and you can easily have several tents or hammocks ( if there’s trees) in each spot.
Quiet and dark and STARS.
