Very dangerous to access
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This campground has a very steep incline/decline to get to the campground. The reason you cannot come onto the property before 2 pm is that the road leading to the campground makes it very dangerous for two RV's to pass which the operators don't tell you. Instead they charge you$25 and yell at you if you come to their property before 2 pm. Their email only refers to entering their property not to the road leading to the property. There is no sign on the country road leading to the property so you never know when the reduced street size and incline/decline starts. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!! I ALSO CONTACTED THE COUNTY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER ALLOWED THIS CAMPGROUND WITHOUT SOME TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO AVOID THAT TWO RV'S PASS EACH OTHER AT ANY TIME.
Also they seemed to have sewer issues as we could not leave our sewer access open as it stank to much.

Camp Nelson RV Park
Needs updating.
A lot of permanent rundown trailers parked haphazard as the sites are not laid out nicely. Stray cats running around. Muddy at the sites. Saving grace was clean bathhouse but who ever heard of automatic showers? Wasting a lot of water.

Three Springs Campground
Somewhat run down & unkempt
Starting with the good, it is reasonably close to the freeway yet far enough away not to be bothered by road noise. Wi fi was mostly usable. Electrical power was stable. Estimate , if the park was probably half full of campers , some long term , some transit. Was quiet. On the other hand, the place was unmowed with grass 6 to 8 inches high throughout the entire facility. A zero turn mower set unused vext to the office. Some of the water spigots were broken and hoses were strewn about so that people could get it water from different spigots to different sites. What's the worst was the bathroom in showers. A couple of people here and said they were clean , but either there definition of clean was different , or they've been a significant lack of labor to keep them up. In the men's side, there was mold all along the floors at the caulking edges.There was wadded up wet toilet paper smashed on the wall of 2 of them.The ceilings were covered in old cobwebs and fresh spider nests. The floors were quite dirty. Over half of the sites aren't level, so if you use this place bring leveling chocks/plates for your tires if not hydraulically leveled. This facility has a great deal of potential with a bit of money and some elbow grease.

Nothing fancy
Pros: natural setting, clean bathrooms Cons: unlevel campsites, no sewer hookups, self-check in, outdated, non-air conditioned bathrooms, no laundry facilities

We didn’t have reservations but Tammy and Billy were wonderful. The bathrooms are nice and clean. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot this is it.

Don't ask for a refund if you can't park there!
The manager at this RV park assaulted me and snatched my iPhone out of my hand! Are you kidding me?? The video was edited(shortened) because these review sites won't allow anything more than 30 seconds. BUT what was said by both of us beforehand and afterwards doesn't matter. The fact is she's supposed to be the professional and she not only called me a"d*ck" and an"a**hole", but she proceeded to violently take my phone out of my hand and refused to give it back. I ultimately talked her into giving it back but WHO DOES THIS? She later actually punched me in the face. Yeah! Right in the face. But unfortunately, the video started and when she got on me, I guess I accidentally hit the stop button I was so scared. What was I scared of? Because, in the professions I've had, you learn that people are capable of anything. I didn't know if she was armed. I know I wasn't. I called 911 and am going to pursue the prosecution of her for assaulting a person over 60 yrs old, which is a felony. These types of animals do not need to be on our streets much less managing a nice RV park. This all came about because the sewer pipe on my motorhome is only 5" off the ground when parked. The lot she gave me has a sewer inlet pipe that sits over a foot off the ground meaning the feces would have to flow uphill to work. When I pointed this out, this manager said,"that's your problem, you'll have to figure it out". When I asked for a refund, she said no way and started in on my calling me vulger names(she did this several times). What professional person dealing with the public does this? She also refused to move me to another site saying she doesn't have any, but anyone can look around and see the park is not even half full- so, that's a lie. Annndddd, there's more! But I'll be posting every day on this site(and many others), so I’ll address more tomorrow and in the coming days and weeks.

Been going there for years. Sites are tight, but well ran park.
Clean, professional campground. Sites loops are tight but people with big fifth wheels were able to manage just fine. The fish were biting the weekend I was there!

Yuck!
This isn’t a campground…it’s a run-down trailer park. The only sites for mobile campers is up front and surrounded by ratty lots full of trailers with junk all around d them.
No attention to lawn detail…overgrown and needs to be trimmed.
But that’s not the worst…there were two pre-teen boys playing around the playground…and around our lot. Right after dark, a pre-teen boy came up to our camper, slammed our entry assist handle and locked it over…locking us in the camper. Fortunately, my wife was in the bath-house. It scared my young daughters. They later came again, knocking on the side of the camper and taunting us. There were no other kids around…I then saw them go into the manager’s house….
It was dirty, unsafe, and a pleasure to leave…just gross.

Camping options near Sadieville range from basic tent sites to upscale glamping accommodations with modern amenities. Most campgrounds in the region operate from April through October, though some provide year-round access.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: The nearby A.J. Jolly Park & Campground offers lakefront camping with fishing access directly from many sites. A camper noted, "Close to Cincinnati but each site is wooded and on lake front, lots to do!" The park maintains a stocked fishing pond and provides boat access for anglers seeking bass and other freshwater species.

"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," explains one reviewer. The campground offers canoe and kayak rentals for exploring the river.
Historic sites: Several campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring regional history. "Really nice for off-site attractions (Creation Museum, Ark Encounter)" mentions a recent visitor to Three Springs Campground. The area provides access to numerous historic sites and small towns with preserved architecture within 30 minutes of most camping locations.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Follow The River RV Resort receives consistent praise for maintenance standards. "The bathrooms having regular working toilets and showers. The bathrooms are very nice. There is a pool, volleyball courts and a dog park," states one visitor. Many campgrounds in the region have recently renovated their shower facilities.
Riverside tranquility: Campers frequently mention the peaceful settings along waterways. "The river and waterfall makes it feel like a tranquil place. The walking trail by the river is nice, we walked it almost every day," shares a guest at Cummins Ferry. Riverside sites often command premium rates but provide direct access to water activities.

"The owner is very friendly and has several younger folks working there that are very friendly and accommodating," notes one camper. First-time glampers near Sadieville, Kentucky often appreciate the guidance from experienced staff, especially with hookup assistance.
What you should know
Site unevenness: Many campgrounds in the region have leveling challenges. At General Butler State Resort Park, a visitor observed, "Some sites were very narrow, and some had a huge drop off from the camping pad to the grass. You almost have to drive there and look at the sites one by one to make sure what you're getting!"
Limited amenities at some locations: Not all campgrounds offer the same facilities. "No laundry, quiet, pretty," summarizes one camper at Guist Creek Marina Campground. Some locations have seasonal closures for pools and other facilities, particularly during spring and fall.

Kid-friendly fishing spots: Smaller ponds at many campgrounds provide safer fishing options for younger anglers. The catch-and-release pond at Three Springs allows families to introduce children to fishing in a controlled environment where success is more likely for beginners.
Tips from RVers

Steep access roads: Several campgrounds feature challenging approaches. "Final approach/exit to the park is very steep," warns a visitor to Three Springs Campground. RVers should research road conditions before arrival, especially during wet weather when traction may become problematic.
