Best RV Parks & Resorts near New Haven, KY

Several RV campgrounds near New Haven, Kentucky offer full-hookup sites with varying degrees of accessibility. Longview RV Park provides 50-amp service, water, sewer connections and accommodates large rigs on its spacious sites. Etown RV Park has 190 sites with both 30 and 50-amp electrical options, plus full sewer and water hookups. "Nice RV resort off of I65 in Elizabeth Town KY. Stayed a week and it was a quiet park and the staff was helpful and friendly," notes one visitor about Longview. Singing Hills RV Park and Campground operates year-round with full hookups including 50-amp service, making it suitable for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. Most parks in the region can accommodate big rigs, though site dimensions and pad compositions vary between locations.

Seasonal availability differs significantly between area RV parks, with several operating only from spring through early fall. Dump stations are available at most locations, though Smith Ridge and Dog Creek Campground offer sanitary dump facilities without providing full sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service can be spotty, particularly at Green River Lake where one camper noted "practically no cell service with Verizon or AT&T." Electric reliability may be inconsistent at certain campgrounds, as evidenced by reports of power issues at Smith Ridge where "30-amp service went out several times at the pole." During peak summer months, reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend stays. Most parks allow pets but enforce leash policies and designated pet areas. Laundry facilities are limited, with only Longview RV Park offering on-site laundry among the reviewed locations.

    Mammoth Cave Campground — Mammoth Cave National Park

    Nature Lovers Paradise

    Site 46B is an exceptional site. Extra large with unobstructed views of the woods away from the roads So much to see and do beyond the cave! This campground is set in the woods with lots of hiking and biking trails within walking distance. Yes, the caves are amazing but don’t forget to explore the surface through hiking, horseback riding and kayaking. The campground has lots of tent campers to big rigs and everything in between. Big rig generators can put a major dent into the campground experience unfortunately but it’s still a beautiful family friendly experience. Bath houses were very clean. Sites are level. The dump station leaves a lot to be desired. It’s a two person operation. One person to use their foot to hold drain open and the other to deal with hose. Wish they offered electric at sites but still one of my favorite campgrounds. Very clean friendly and accessible to activities in the park.

    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.

    Louisville South KOA

    Close to Louisville and Bourbon Tours

    The Louisville South KOA is approximately 25 miles south of downtown Louisville in Shepardsville, KY. The location is easy to find off the exit of 65(which also has a Walmart and other stores nearby to resupply). 

    The campground has both pull through gravel sites, back-in, and tent sites. The sites were close to each other but provided plenty of space for the average sized rig. Many were longer than other KOAs, which enabled the tow vehicle and TT to be parked. Full hook-ups and 30/50 amp services at the sites, some leveling required. The campground store is well stocked and the employees are very friendly. 

    There is a pool(no hot tub-filled in with stones), play/game area, bounce pillow, and 2 miles of hiking trails around the campground. While the campground was nice, there is a lot of“stuff”(old broken trailers, mowers, etc) laying around the edges and in need of mowing between the sites. These items tend to take away from the overall welcoming feeling of the campground. 

    This being said, the wifi was strong and it is very convenient to sightseeing around Nashville, especially for the price of$54 per night.

    Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

    Cummings ferry campground

    Small park restrooms and showers. Very clean. Nice pool. Camp store offers basics. Fairly close to shopping groceries etc. staff was friendly 30/50 amp service didn’t count the number of river view sites. But quite a few. Some sites have 20 X 12 elevated decks. Full hook ups. Pet friendly. Was very quiet the week we stayed. Didn’t feel like bringing the camper home so payed for another week and drive back the following week. Cell service. Isn’t the best WiFi was available if I remember. Correctly rates were reasonable

    Camp Carlson Army RV Park

    Small quiet dispersed

    Very quiet. Two fenced dog runs that were slightly overgrown when we first arrived but were cut when the rain allowed. Paved roads throughout but very few paved sights. WIFI and cell service very limited would advise a antenna for long term. Office personnel were extremely helpful and understanding. I had truck problems and it extended our stay so I just had to move trailer to different site. Ft Knox is just a few miles away.

    Overall this is a great FamCamp. Will definitely stay again.

    Pioneer Playhouse Campground

    This is all about the theater...not the camping

    This place has some fascinating history and a unique outdoor summer stock theater experience. The oldest outdoor theater in Kentucky with 5 productions running through the summer months. Definitely a good time and casual dining evening with stories of many famous faces that have graced the stage: John Travolta, Lee Majors, Jim Varney...to name a few. The campground has 35 sites with little elbow room; all have electric(30 amp) and water, gravel/grass pads, shower facilities and bathrooms, and they do have a"rustic" dump station. Many of the sites seem to have long term tenants...so this is best for a one night stop and a show. The town of Danville has what you need for supplies and dining, loads of historical sites in the area and of course there is a Bourbon Distillery that must make the list of activities. pioneerplayhouse.com/visit-us/campground/

    Thousand Trails Diamond Caverns RV & Golf Resort

    Diamond Caverns

    Nice resort, some full time sites but most sites are well kept. We were at site A7, back in site, 50 amp full hookup fit our 43ft camper and enough room for our truck. Gravel site backs up to trees. Some smaller sites have cement pads but 30 amp full hook up. Great location if you want to head out to the caves.

    Cave Country RV Campground

    Cave Country

    This RV Park is clean and well maintained. The dog park is beautiful with well trimmed grass and large. They have a nice swimming pool, picnic tables, and fire rings. Nice large gravel pull through site and level. The Mammoth Cave National Park is 10 miles with many other attractions nearby. We stayed for a week and loved it.

    Dog Creek Campground

    Dog creek campground visit

    Pleasant campground. 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. Ours was a spacious pull through. No real camp store, but an honor system “shed” with firewood, produce, and canned goods. No hiking trails, but they do have a beach, playground, and boat ramp inside the park. Very quiet park. Volunteer “hosts were very nice. Warned us of the dry campus and leash laws. Convenient enough for a trip to Mammoth Cave without trailering primitive in the National park itself. Good stay!


Guide to New Haven

Campgrounds near New Haven, Kentucky typically operate seasonally, with most facilities open from early May through September or October. Located in the rolling hills of central Kentucky at approximately 700 feet elevation, this region experiences humid summers with temperatures averaging 85-90°F in July and August. During peak camping months, afternoon thunderstorms can create temporary flooding in low-lying campsites, particularly at Smith Ridge where visitors have noted issues with water accumulation after heavy rain.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Green River Lake offers excellent fishing spots with multiple access points. At Smith Ridge - Green River Lake, one camper noted, "I gave Smith Ridge 5 stars because it offers a lot of great fishing spots and beautiful views." Fish species include bass, crappie, and catfish.

Water recreation: Nolin Lake provides swimming and boating options. A visitor at Wax - Nolin River Lake shared, "Pack your yak, fishing gear and sunscreen cause it is the perfect water oriented campground. The Army Corp of Engineers do a good job of using all the designated space for campsites but still keep it picturesque and clean."

Hiking trails: Several campgrounds offer walking paths through wooded areas. At Moutardier Campground, a camper reported, "There is also a two mile hike that is in the campground called Shady Creek Trail. It looked like it had not been hiked in a while but it went through woods, small stream and had a cool rock formation."

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer well-designed camping spots with ample room. A visitor to Moutardier Campground mentioned, "The campground was very well manicured and clean. Many of the sites were right on the lake. They were close together but did not seem it as they were on different levels and angles."

Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region typically maintain their bathroom facilities well. A camper at Singing Hills RV Park And Campground observed, "This campground is located just a few miles from Mammoth Cave. It is a small campground, but great for families. The owners are nice, friendly people who take great care of their park."

Waterfront views: Lakeside sites are popular for their scenery and water access. At Dog Creek Campground, one reviewer stated, "Seems all sites have a lake view. Very close to beach, but that means you hear everything at the beach. Very humid and virtually no shade at our site."

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Reception can be inconsistent throughout the region. A Smith Ridge camper reported, "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."

Site drainage concerns: Low-lying sites may experience water accumulation during rainy periods. At Dog Creek Campground, a visitor noted, "Good camping, although sites are somewhat close. Very few with shade, especially if you want 'water front'. Gravel pads are typically fairly level; water and electric at all but tent sites."

Reservation recommendations: During summer weekends, campgrounds fill quickly. A camper at Wilson Creek Recreation Area shared, "There are only about 6 or 7 campsites for primitive camping, so it's very quiet. You're also only a short walk from the beach which is nice."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several rv parks near New Haven, Kentucky feature dedicated play areas for children. A visitor to Holmes Bend noted, "The campgrounds was exceptional in quiet setting, playground for the grandkids, near Green River lake, must have Ky temporary license to fish, boating, cabins rental, natural trails."

Swimming options: Beaches and swimming areas provide relief from summer heat. At Smith Ridge, one camper mentioned, "There are cabins available to rent, a beach, and boat ramp available to those that wish to fish."

Fishing for kids: Some campgrounds offer stocked ponds specifically for young anglers. A visitor to Singing Hills RV Park explained, "There is a stock pond for kids to fish with bamboo poles that the park provides (catch & release only). We really enjoyed our 2 day stay."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: RV campers should prepare for varying pad conditions. At Cummins Ferry RV Park, one RVer cautioned, "The sites here are not level. We used our normal 2x green blocks for the Jack, but needed all 10 of our leveling blocks, plus 8 paving stones to get the appropriate height."

Campground accessibility: Some rv parks near New Haven have challenging access roads. A Wax camper warned, "The road in/out is very narrow, very tight and not easily navigated with a 40' 5th wheel. Also, be very careful about sites, many are extremely undeveloped."

Supply planning: Most campgrounds are situated away from major retailers. A visitor to Wax Campground advised, "It is off the beaten path and you are about 30 min from a grocery store, so make sure you stock up before you go. There are several road side veggie stands where you can get fresh from the ground veggies."
