6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks around Radcliff, Kentucky provide full hookup options for travelers, with sites ranging from paved Army installations to gravel-pad commercial campgrounds. Etown RV Park offers 190 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical connections, water, and sewer hookups. Camp Carlson Army RV Park, located on Fort Knox, features paved roads throughout the property but limited paved sites. Longview RV Park in Elizabethtown provides big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp service, water and sewer connections, plus laundry facilities. Sites are generally well-maintained with gravel pads, though spacing between RVs varies by location. "The sites are close together and you can't get cell signal. I loved that it is by a pond, but it isn't private and anybody can come in due to the proximity of the pond."
Cell service varies significantly throughout the region's campgrounds. Camp Carlson sits in a low area with notably poor reception, as one camper described it as being "in a bowl -- no cell service, no satellite, no internet." Most parks maintain clean restroom facilities, with Camp Carlson offering "tons of washers" according to visitor feedback. During summer months, Nolin River Lake's Wax Campground provides water access for boating and fishing but requires advance planning as it's located approximately 30 minutes from the nearest grocery store. Military personnel, retirees, and government employees have priority access to Camp Carlson, while other parks in the area remain open to the general public. Dump stations are available at most locations, though not all parks offer on-site propane filling services.

"Family friendly Halloween fun. Has a decorating contest with trick or treat in the campground. Safe and clean with lots of restrooms and lake front sites"

"It was quiet, even with all the boat traffic and kids. Lots are gravel and decent size. The area surrounds Lake Nolan, which is an added bonus. The water was warm and calm."

"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."

"Singing Hills is a nice private RV park near Mammoth Cave. We stayed one night. Sites 37, 39-44 are not shady, while the lower numbered sites have shade. The park streets and sites are gravel."

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.
ScoutQuiet and well maintained. Very responsive host
TravelerLots of traffic right off the interstate. Their pricing is expensive, and then they add charges for showers and wast dump. Most traditional RV parks include showers and waste dumps in the costs for an overnight. I don't recommend this.
ScoutCurrent owners are great but they are in the middle of a sale. The 59Amp power at site 12 is missing leg 2 so we used 30 Amp socket instead. No problem as the weather was wonderful.
RangerCould never get anyone to contact us about a reservation. Phone or email. I’m glad we didn’t because we stayed not too far down at White acres campground which was a way better set up with more privacy. This is a very small campground and you are packed in like sardines with very little shade. Would not recommend if you’re passing through.
RangerAmber and her family were accommodating from the very beginning! Offered a cash price for a discount. Allowed us to extend our stay without issue. Amber even helped us provide puppy day sitting while we did some of the tours so we would not have to leave our pup in the camper. Very clean and quiet private shaded campsites. We were at the very end site 46 and was very private. Would definitely stay here again! Very convenient place to stay when you’re on the Bourbon Trail.
ScoutClean, friendly, great dog park
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.
ScoutNice, quite, and relaxing stay. Fire rings need to be upgraded. They were small and rusted out.
Radcliff, Kentucky offers camping options within 40 miles of Fort Knox Army Base, with varied terrain from limestone caves to rolling hills. The area sits at around 750 feet elevation with humid summers and mild winters. Water access at several campgrounds connects to Nolin River Lake and Green River Lake, making it a hub for freshwater recreation.
Fishing opportunities: 3-5 minutes from campsite. At Moutardier Campground on Nolin Lake, the fishing is excellent. "Love this campground. Have not found a bad spot yet. Family and pet friendly," notes Laura O. The campground provides convenient lake access with specialized amenities for anglers, including filet tables at some sites.
Hiking trails: Short trails available. Several campgrounds feature walking paths. Moutardier offers the Shady Creek Trail, a two-mile loop through the woods. "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," according to Pawsfuradventure T.
Water activities: Multiple boat ramps available. Wax Campground on Nolin River Lake provides excellent water access. "Loved paddle boarding in the early morning before the boat traffic got going. Water was very warm," reports Faith J. The lake is ideal for kayaking, fishing, and swimming during summer months with calm morning waters.
Lakefront views: Sites positioned for privacy. Dog Creek Campground offers strategic site placement. "I gave Smith Ridge 5 stars because it offers a lot of great fishing spots and beautiful views," notes Jessica C. Sites are designed to provide both lake access and some separation from neighbors.
Clean facilities: Regularly maintained bathhouses. Cave Country RV Campground maintains excellent standards. "Bathrooms were very clean and well lit. The showers were 'dated' - water stains but clean. Great water pressure and hot water," according to Pawsfuradventure T. Several campgrounds feature newer bathhouse facilities with consistent maintenance.
Quiet environment: Sites spaced for comfort. Many campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere. "First time at Wax and we will be back! Some of the nicest shower houses, cleanest sites and nice shade. Even when the campground was full over the holiday week, you didn't know you had neighbors!" shares Laura O. about Wax Campground.
Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds close mid-September. Most Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds in the area operate from May through mid-September. Dog Creek Campground operates from "early may-mid sep," while Smith Ridge runs from "May 16 to September 14."
Cell service limitations: Variable coverage by location. Smith Ridge Green River Lake has known connectivity issues. "Practically no cell service with Verizon or AT&T," reports Todd C. Signal strength varies significantly between campgrounds and even between sites within the same facility.
Site spacing: Varies between campgrounds. While some RV parks near Radcliff have tight spacing, others offer more room. "The sites are pretty close together so okay nice with the neighbors, or at least realize you will probably get to enjoy their music and conversations with them whether you intend to or not," explains Shelly S. about Dog Creek Campground.
Halloween events: Special activities in October. Moutardier Campground offers seasonal programming. "Family friendly Halloween fun. Has a decorating contest with trick or treat in the campground. Safe and clean with lots of restrooms and lake front sites," writes Laura O. These events typically include campsite decoration competitions and organized activities.
Swimming areas: Designated beach zones. Several campgrounds feature swimming areas with gradual entry points. "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?)," shares Dan N. about Smith Ridge.
Playgrounds: Available at select campgrounds. Facilities for children vary significantly. "Great for tents or trailers and everything in between. 3 playgrounds with safe clean equipment. Plant of lake view sites and positioned to provide a semi private experience," notes Laura O. about Moutardier.
Hookup availability: Full service at private RV parks. Longview RV Park in Elizabethtown provides comprehensive amenities. "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," reports Richard Y. Many RV campgrounds near Radcliff, Kentucky offer 50-amp service plus water and sewer.
Site leveling: Prepare for varied terrain. The topography requires adjustment at some campgrounds. "The sites were level and have tables, fire rings and lantern hooks," notes Shelly S. about Dog Creek. RVers should bring leveling blocks as some sites, particularly at Army Corps properties, may require adjustment.
Distance to services: Plan for supply runs. Many campgrounds sit 20-30 minutes from grocery stores. "We 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," advises Faith J. about the area around Wax Campground.
