Best Cabin Camping near Mount Eden, KY

Several cabin accommodations are available within a 30-mile radius of Mount Eden, Kentucky, including Lake Shelby Campground and Louisville South KOA. Most cabins feature basic amenities such as electricity, air conditioning, and beds. The Chickadee cabins at Deam Lake State Recreation Area include portable air conditioning units and are constructed entirely of wood. According to one visitor, "Neat cabins all wood with Portable AC." Bathroom facilities are typically shared, with most campgrounds providing centralized shower houses and restroom buildings rather than private bathrooms in each cabin. General Butler State Resort Park offers more upscale cabin options with additional amenities compared to the more rustic options at Three Springs Campground.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Louisville South KOA provides cabin rentals priced between $40-50 per night with air conditioning included. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when occupancy rates are highest. Pet policies vary by location, with many campgrounds allowing pets in designated cabins for an additional fee. A recent review noted, "We stayed in the Cardinal Cabin. Tons of privacy and the best bathrooms I have ever seen." Three Springs Campground features small rental cabins surrounded by trees and water features, creating a more secluded atmosphere despite the relatively close proximity of sites.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire rings while others may include small refrigerators or microwaves. On-site camp stores are available at several locations including Louisville South KOA and General Butler State Resort Park, though selection is typically limited to basic supplies and firewood. Ice is available for purchase at nearby truck stops and gas stations, with one reviewer noting, "Ice in the area cheapest at the truck stops and gas stations 2 10lbs for 5 bucks." Grocery stores can be found in nearby towns such as Shelbyville and Shepherdsville for more extensive provisioning needs.

    Deam Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    First time camping

    Stayed in D04. Had 30 amp plus 20 amp hookups. Picnic table. 15 pieces of firewood for 5 plus tax. Friends stayed in the chickadee cabin and d03. Neat cabins all wood with Portable AC.

    A few hikes. Horse camping so was cool to see the horses. A beach location and a few fishing spots.

    The lake doesn’t allow non electric motors so waters were calm. Caught some bluegills.

    Public restrooms and showers.

    Ice in the area cheapest at the truck stops and gas stations 2 10lbs for 5 bucks.

    Would stop again if in the area.

    Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground

    Really nice!

    We stayed here one night. It's a small campground about 35 mins from Louisville and has about 40ish sites for RVs with electric and water, some with sewage. Our site was fairly small and pretty close to other sites but it was easy enough to get into and fit our 12ft pop up without issue. They have 2 bathrooms(the one by the laundry/store is very nice!), a catch and release pond(small, but there are small bluegill and some bass), a nice playground, clean pool, store on site, and overall we had a great time. There are also several connections for wifi, and cable(we didn't try it). The staff seemed very nice. Our site without sewage was $30 plus tax, they also offer tent sites and small cabins($40-50 with air conditioning) if that's your thing. Our site was nice and shaded. We were disturbed a few times by trains in the middle of the night- otherwise it was pretty peaceful and quiet.

    Wonderful clean quiet state park

    Great park for quiet camping. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. All have electric hookup...others are full service. Many relatively secluded sites. Bath houses clean. Multiple hiking trails which can be mixed and matched for longer hikes..all moderate.

    General Butler State Resort Park

    Great Park to relax

    Great little park located just far enough away to get away but close enough to town to run and get something if you forgot it.

    Campground is pretty compact but stays pretty quiet. Two well maintained restrooms and shower facilities. Property has a lodge, cabins, pull through, full hook up, and water/power hook up, primitive spots, and day use shelters.

    There is a pool and a restaurant are located at the lodge. There are a few hiking trails and a playground for the little ones. There is mini golf canoe and paddle boat rentals available as well.

    Free wifi (speed is questionable) but we found 2-3 bars on T-mobile and AT&T.

    We frequent this park since it is close to home and the smaller size makes it easier to turn the kids loose. They have enough to enjoy but not so much where we have to be active every second.

    Three Springs Campground

    Final approach/exit to the park is very steep. Beautiful sites but fairly close together. Gravelled roads and pads surrounded by forest with three small streams cutting through. Sites are not particularly level. Bathrooms are clean and the hosts are attentive. The only trash bin is near the office by the out of service pool.

    Nice Campground, Pretty Lake

    This campground is very family-friendly and fun. There are horse trails, a beach, and great water for swimming/kayaking/canoeing. It is pet friendly as well. The bath house in our area was older but fairly clean. We felt like there was good spacing between the sites, and we weren’t too close to our neighbors. Beautiful in the Fall!

    Lake Shelby Campground

    Site #11 good tent spot, too far from restrooms

    Site #11: nice shade tree, lots of roots exposed, set up tent on stone to avoid roots. Great space between the tent sites, but virtually no real privacy as public traffic into park was steady. awesome wildlife for a park within the city: herons, geese (except for poop), ducks, turtles, beavers. We didn't see the coons but put food away every night as they visited our camp on a nightly basis.

    Long way to a newer bath house, port-a-john almost as far away in opposite direction. RV spots were really tight. Shelter with electrical outlet attached to bathhouse. Indoor and outdoor pool in the other half of the park. Kayak rental available. Host friendly and helpful. Bathhouse is four units, each with sink, toilet and shower. Could have been a lot cleaner. In our five day stay, no deep clean, but always had TP. Overall, enjoyed our stay, appreciated our Luggable Loo as a backup.

    Nice area, County Fair while we were there, historic downtown. Several grocery stores, thrift stores and boutiques. Renaissance festival nearby.

    Louisville South KOA

    Disappointed

    We have a tent which attaches to our truck— no hook ups. Everywhere we go we get a tent site. This campground would not let us get a tent site because we “sleep in the bed of our truck.” We reluctantly rented a cabin because we needed a place to stay for the night. We told them our set-up & that we’ve never been denied a tent site, but they still refused. WiFi was fickle. Got on then would get bumped off.

    Louisville South KOA

    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.
