Best RV Parks & Resorts near Salt Lick, KY

Stayed 2 nights mid week and campground wasn’t busy. Many nice tent sites and also good level RV sites. Easy access to hiking. Helpful resident manager. Management by Thousand Trails, although the campground is not associated at all with Thousand Trails. No reservations accepted. Self register and pay at the entrance.

primative camp sites are great!! Nice facilities, limited full hook up for campers. Super nice staff. Beautiful area for day trips or extended stays.

Kentucky Horse Park is a working horse farm and educational center. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 the tours were unavailable when we visited. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The sites were spacious and well maintained. They all come with a picnic table, fire pit and full hook-ups. The bathrooms, showers and laundry room were clean and also well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating. A great location, especially if planning to visit Lexington during your stay.

There are two campgrounds within Natural Bridge State Resort Park—Whittleton and Middlefork. Three friends and I stayed at Middlefork, with a tent site right along the Middlefork Creek. The front part of this campground is RV/hookup, and you have to go over this hill to get to the primitive sites. The bathroom (toilets, showers, sinks) was decently kept (facilities were in the front half of the campground so we had to walk over that hill to get to it). We were able to purchase firewood on the grounds. The sites were pretty well spread out, but if you're looking to hang a hammock, it's not the most ideal spot with the trees tucked away or spread really far apart. We were a short drive from the park/bridge and several other hiking opportunities. The bridge was definitely busy, even at the end of September, but all of the trails we were on otherwise were pretty quiet. You can access some trails in the Daniel Boone National Forest by the Whittleton Campground. Overall, we had a great time, and plan to return!

The folks that run this RV park are very nice and obviously have a lot of pride in their place. Valley Breezy is very well kept and clean. Good amenities- electric/sewer/water hookup. Pets allowed (on-leash).

We found sandy springs took a chance and we LOVE IT. We have been with multiple family members. Twice. They all wanted to go back. The place is very clean. the owners are amazing. Very accommodating. Even though we have full hook ups we used the clean personal shower rooms. We dont like to keep our camper at one spot. We do like to roam. BUT I would here. Love Julie and Darcy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this campground ....unless we need the spot. Lol

We arrived on Sunday, when most people leave. The campground was a little confusing at first because the sign says next left, when the next left is the out driveway. The camp office/store was very clean and had practical items like batteries, firestarter, snacks and ice cream for the kiddos. There is also firewood for purchase. We stayed on campsite 057, which is in full sun as it has no shade but does have full hookups. The site was very well kept and clean but could use some privacy from the roadway. Be sure to look at google maps satellite before arriving as most of the sites that are labeled electric share one electric box for 2 campsites and can be pretty far from your pad. Also make sure to check in the details, which sites have sewer as they don't label it full hookups up front. The line of sites along the road into the campground all have sewer holes. The park is amazing and I have no idea how it took me 39yrs to find it so close to home. The caves are absolutely amazing and the park has some of the best natural bridges I have ever seen. Make sure to get a permit for Horn Hollow on a day of no rain or else you will not be able to enter it.

You won't find full hookups or fancy bath houses, but what this campground lacks in amenities it makes up in scenic beauty.  The campground has several trails, ranging in length, that let you explore some of the natural beauty of Red River Gorge.  Sites are first come, first serve - which can be a pain…but if you plan for a Thursday / Friday morning arrival you shouldn't have a problem. Sites are well spaced and have major trees.  The majority of campers were in tents, but there are a few sites that would work well for RVs.  Some vault restrooms with a central bath house (showers, flush toilets, etc.) - nothing fancy, but gets the job done. Venture out of the campground and enjoy all Red River Gorge has to offer!

We travel in a triple axl so apply that to the review. Roads getting in are super winding but go slow and enjoy the stunning views! The site we got upon arrival had electric and water, but upon pull in we noticed all the hookups are shared between 2 sites and not very close. 37 ft away to be exact. The site itself (#8) was very shady and pretty decent sized so we were kinda bummed to have to move. We moved to a full hook up site and hookups werr closer, but it sat right on leading into the Campground. We have a toddler and 2 dogs but figured people coming in wouldn't be hauling butt. We were wrong. It is noisy (arrivals at all times coming in) and nerve-racking as people drive entirely too fast. I took some of the pics standing in the road. You can See our back deck down almost touches it. The water on this site was shared too and while it's closer to the hookups, we had nearly zero water pressure. We ended up filling our tank and running off that, and refilled when needed. The pressure was so low from sharing our sink would barely stream when turned on. In the end we wish we wouldn't have moved in the first place.

the area itself is beautiful and the property is well kept and clean. We only needed 2 nights passing through.

Over 250 full hookup sites, great shade, beautiful trees, good size lots, however, some are on a grade making leveling difficult. Electric and primitive sites available. Great for equestrian trailers, convenient location off Interstate and right next to Kentucky Horse Park. Bathhouse, game room, laundry, camp store available. Numerous playgrounds and basketball courts for the kiddos. Swimming pool and for the avid hikers a trail that takes you to downtown Lexington.

This one is a tough one to rate/review. We did not have a bad experience at Lawrence Creek, in fact, John was wonderful and accommodating. It is just seems like everything else kind of falls short. Wondering if it had something to do with new owners or the time of year we visited?
The list of amenities include laundry, restrooms/showers, waterfront sites, campstore, bar/grill, campfire rings at each site and full hook ups. The bar/grill/campstore/laundry are all housed in the only building on the property with an attached patio. This seems to be the main focus of the property since there are ads for bar/grill along the road and along the river. However, the campground itself is lackluster and dull. There were also random things in random places, the extended stay or permanent residents do not pick up after their animals (found this out the hard way), and we are still unsure about showers as the best we found was a shed that had restroom signs on it and keycode locks on the doors. Kind of got the feeling like this was the place that this was a place that “roamers” frequented. All in all, I that under new ownership maybe these little items are already on the list of things to tackle. If so, what a perfect place this will be and definitely worth checking out again. Maybe John can fill us all in….

Stayed 3 nights. Nice level, large sites with full hookups. Close to many local attractions in and around Paintsville. Only drawback was lack of any Verizon signal. Understand that AT&T and TMobile had some service.
