    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several RV campgrounds surround Scottsville, Kentucky with varying amenities and hookup options. Dad's Bluegrass Campground offers full hookup pull-through sites that can accommodate 40-foot rigs, with well-maintained grounds and level gravel pads. Cave Country RV Campground features 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer hookups on mostly level sites with some shaded options available. Diamond Caverns RV Resort provides year-round access with full hookup sites suitable for larger motorhomes, while Dog Creek Campground offers water and electric hookups (up to 50-amp) but requires a portable waste tank for longer stays as it lacks sewer connections at individual sites. "Our site was a spacious pull through with water and electric hookups, but the campground is dry camping only as they have 2/3 hookup which warranted purchasing a portable waste tank for our 4-night stay."

    For RV travelers planning visits to the area, most parks around Scottsville maintain gravel sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Dump stations are available at campgrounds without full hookups, though some visitors note awkward positioning that can make dumping challenging. Cell service varies significantly by carrier and location—AT&T and Verizon typically provide 1-3 bars of LTE service near Cave City, while coverage may be more limited at campgrounds closer to Nolin Lake. Winter camping options are limited, as several parks like Dog Creek Campground operate seasonally from early May through mid-September. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays and holiday periods when Halloween festivities draw large crowds to parks like Barren River Lake State Resort.

      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.

      Cedar Creek (TN)

      Not the Best COE We've Stayed At

      We stayed one night at Cedar Creek Campground while traveling north and appreciated its location, which allowed us to bypass Nashville traffic by using I-840 and TN-45. We followed the route using RV Trip Wizard and Waze, although Waze wanted to route us through I-40. Coming in from the south, we did not see any brown campground signs until we reached the marina entrance. The final approach travels through a narrow, hilly rural-suburban area before arriving at the campground. Check-in was quick, and we headed to back-in Site 22 with 50/30/20-amp electric and water. Immediately after leaving the check-in station, there is a fairly tight right-hand turn. The attendant specifically warned us to take it wide, explaining they occasionally see larger rigs scrape there. The site length was accurately represented on Recreation.gov and accommodated our 40-foot fifth wheel, although we needed to unhitch to park our F-450 alongside the trailer. Utilities were conveniently located near the middle of the site, water pressure was excellent, and the site included a newer picnic table, fire ring with cooking grate, and lantern post. We received three bars on Verizon and two bars on T-Mobile. Our T-Mobile Home Internet averaged 193 Mbps download and 1.3 Mbps upload. With the heavy tree canopy, Starlink availability will vary considerably by site, and we doubt Site 22 would have provided a usable view of the sky. The campground has two bathhouses, with the newer facility offering individual shower rooms. The older bathhouse had two coin-operated machines, although the dryer was out of service during our stay. The lakeside sites are more generously spaced, while the interior loops connect to one another, making the back sides of the loops feel very close together, with some sites almost sitting on top of each other. Sites 54 and 56B appeared to be among the better choices for larger rigs. Although we didn't use the dump station, it looked manageable for a 40-foot rig despite reviews suggesting otherwise. The biggest consideration is maneuverability. The roads are narrow, several turns are sharp, and there are trees and drainage ditches throughout the campground. We exited without incident, but even on a Thursday with light occupancy, it required careful driving. Had the campground been full with vehicles parked along the roads, navigating a large RV would have been considerably more challenging. Overall, we enjoyed the peaceful Corps of Engineers setting and the opportunity to avoid Nashville traffic, but for our 40-foot fifth wheel, we're not convinced the extra maneuvering required is worth the tradeoff for future overnight stays.

      Grand Ole RV Resort & Market

      Peaceful, Well-Run RV Park with Great Location

      We really enjoyed our stay at The Grand O RV Resort! The staff was super friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. A man even led us to our site in a golf cart and helped my fiancé back in and park our trailer, which was a huge help.

      The campground had a small store with supplies, a restaurant with a menu available (though we cooked our own food), and live music each night while we were there during the summer — a nice touch! There’s a train that passes by on the nearby track a couple of times a day, but it was never super early or late and didn’t bother us at all.

      We stayed in the center of the park, which didn’t have much shade, but the outer edge sites seemed more wooded. The roads and campsites are made of small pebbles, which made it easy to drive and back in. It was overall very quiet, and the location is great — just off the interstate, about 10 miles north of Nashville, and roughly 45 minutes from Bowling Green. We visited the National Corvette Museum and Lost River Cave while we were there.

      Our site had full hookups (water, sewer, and electric). The bathhouse was clean, air-conditioned, and accessed with a key code — two toilet stalls and three showers for women, all very well maintained. We didn’t use the laundry facility (if there was one), but the Wi-Fi was decent, and T-Mobile cell service worked well, even for using our hotspot. It’s a pet-friendly park (though we didn’t bring pets), and while there’s no pool or playground, there were some nice wooden swings to enjoy.

      They also have firewood for sale and a propane filling station on site. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend The Grand O to anyone looking for a quiet, clean, and well-located RV park near Nashville!

      Nashville KOA Resort

      Nashville KOA is a great place to stay when visiting the Music City.

      The campground has a variety of sites from deluxe paved pull through with patios to back-in full hookups to tent sites. We stayed in the back-in sites side of the campground. The sites were close together(but not on-top of each other) and many were long enough to handle most average sized rigs. These sites were gravel with grass between, which was well maintained. 50& 30 amp service available. Very flat with minimal leveling needed. The wifi was spotty when the campground was full on the weekends. 

      The bathhouses have individual shower access with separate toilet facilities. These were clean and well maintained. The entire campground was very well maintained and landscaped beautifully, which created a welcoming feeling. 

      There are numerous amenities: pool, hot tub, playground, pickle ball, corn hole, etc. Live music is offered at the pool area a couple nights a week in addition to movies. The camp store is small, with limited selection, but it is attached to a nice size indoor rec room and restaurant/snack bar. A Camping World Store is also right next door to the campground, which is very convenient. 

      A shuttle service is offered daily from 10:00AM-1:30AM between the KOA and downtown Nashville at the Country Music Hall of Fame. The cost is$10 round trip per person. The staff were very friendly and willing to help with any issues and questions. We enjoyed our stay and found the price($68) reasonable for the great location and amenities offered.

      Bowling Green KOA

      Standard KOA/Awesome stay!

      This is a typical KOA park but in an awesome area. The only downside is the traffic noise from the highway. It was not audible inside the RV so it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep.

      The park has nice long pull through spaces, and quite a few long term residents of the park. They have a very nice dog park with obstacles for them in a central location to be accessed by everyone.

      The sites were level and clear of obstacles. They left plenty of space for vehicles and rigs. We had a pull through patio and the space had a giant beautiful tree that was very helpful in the heat.

      Equipment is well maintained at this location! Cell service for AT&T and TMobile we’re both excellent.

      Elm Hill RV Resort

      Beautiful location

      This park is located on a peninsula on a lake close to Nashville. Almost every site has a view of the water on flat concrete big pads. Some sites, on higher land, are mostly long term residents. Most sites are back in but there are a few pull through. Each site has all hook ups and are very well maintained. The sites are close together but not uncomfortable. There is a camp store at the main office. The pool is very nice and there are games, a playground and a pavilion. There was a band there during my stay. Activities planned throughout the month. It is more expensive than most but the quality of the site is worth it.

      Two Rivers Campground

      Nice RV park for visiting Nashville

      Helpful staff, gravel level sites with concrete pads that have picnic tables on them. Full hook ups. There is a private bus the staff will call that will come pick you up and take you to downtown and return for $10.00. I took the bus because parking is more expensive than the bus fee. I didn’t use the laundry or showers but they looked nice and clean. Great place to stay while visiting Nashville. They had live bands every night out by the pool area while we were here. Nice place for a private park. I would stay again. Camping world is right next door if you need anything. Back in and pull through sites.

      Two Rivers Campground

      Great CG in Nashville

      We spent two nights here (May 24-26, 2022). This is a nice, easy access CG with level pull through and back-in gravel sites in Nashville. It is located within a loop of the Cumberland River, between two RV dealer/repair facilities and surrounded by two RV CGs- it’s a busy area. There are a number of activities available: live music, swimming pool, recreation hall, playground and dog park. We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. It is a great base camp to visit the Nashville (Grand Ole Opry) area. The WiFi was great as was cell phone reception. The cable TV worked well. We would stay here again.

    Guide to Scottsville

    The region surrounding Scottsville, Kentucky sits at an elevation of 600-800 feet with a humid subtropical climate that creates distinct camping seasons. Summer temperatures often reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter nights regularly drop below freezing. The area's karst topography features numerous springs, caves, and limestone formations that influence camping conditions throughout the region.

    What to do

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several campgrounds near Nolin Lake offer excellent bird watching. At Wax - Nolin River Lake, campers can spot diverse woodpecker species. "Right from our camps we could see a trip of Redheaded Woodpeckers playing as well as a mama Northern Flicker feeding her babies. We even saw a giant Pileated Woodpecker!" according to Alison K.

    Water activities on Nolin Lake: The lake provides swimming, fishing, and boating options within walking distance of campsites. At Dog Creek Campground, visitors find easy water access. "Awesome campground. Great views of the lake from sites, very clean bathrooms. Lake is perfect for swimming, boating, or kayaking," reports Ellen L.

    Explore nearby cave systems: Beyond Mammoth Cave, smaller caves dot the region. Singing Hills RV Park And Campground offers convenient access to multiple cave systems. "Close to Mammoth National Park…we were lucky to book a tour and it was really good, our teenagers liked it. We also rode Alpine slide across the street near the RV park," shared Beth B.

    What campers like

    Well-maintained facilities: Many campgrounds feature clean, accessible bathrooms and showers. At Cave Country RV Campground, the maintenance stands out. "This RV resort is located conveniently 15-20 minutes from Mammoth Cave National Park. Also there are a lot of places to eat nearby. The staff/owners are all very friendly. I used the laundry room and it was kept very clean," notes Bre B.

    Spacious fishing areas: Fishing opportunities with dedicated cleaning stations exist at multiple locations. "Moutardier Campground is a fisherman's paradise. It is located on Nolin River Lake. Our site was lakeside which was beautiful (Site D6). This campsite offered electric/water hookup, fire pit, picnic table, filet table, bathrooms, and showers," according to Pawsfuradventure T.

    Holiday celebrations: Halloween events draw families for safe trick-or-treating. "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," Laura O. reports about Moutardier.

    What you should know

    Train noise considerations: Several campgrounds sit near active rail lines with trains running day and night. "This is a nice campground. Owners are kind operate a great general store. Live music every day and a nice rotating menu for breakfast and lunch. Clean laundry and bathrooms. Only downfall are the trains that operate 24/7 directly adjacent to the grounds. Trains rolling by at 3 am is not how I like to spend my night," says Jeff P. about Grand Ole RV Resort.

    Site selection importance: Campground layout varies widely, with significant differences between sites in the same facility. "Site selection is all important at this campsite. Some have wonderful lake access, shade, and a bit of seclusion. Others no trees, no lake, in the middle of everyone. Section C has some of the nicer site, even one with a little lagoon perfect to launch your yaks from," advises Casey C. about Dog Creek Campground.

    Seasonal water levels: Lake levels fluctuate throughout the year, changing shoreline access and swimming areas. "I had been here only once in 2018. The water was up high so it made it an amazing waterfront campsite the grounds and the bathrooms were incredibly clean," Brian W. notes about Wax Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Multiple playgrounds: Moutardier features three separate play areas for different age groups. "Friendly quiet clean and family friendly! 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," Laura O. explains.

    Fishing opportunities for kids: Some locations provide equipment for young anglers. "The little catch-and-release pond is well-stocked and there is a catfish pay lake across the street, so our boys had plenty of fishing to keep them busy," Sarah shares about Singing Hills RV Park.

    Entertainment options: Grand Ole RV Resort & Market offers regular entertainment suitable for all ages. "The entertainment for NYE was seriously the most fun we've had out in a while. Nothing says Nashville like live country music! We will definitely be staying here again," reports Jen O.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling challenges: Many sites require careful setup and blocking. "Some sites has short concrete pads in between gravel while others are just gravel. I would not recommend the concrete pads as most of them are too short for most rigs and will make it challenging to level (and to leave without scraping)," warns Jason F. about Diamond Caverns.

    Water hookup placement: Position can vary significantly between campsites. "Our parking area was level with gravel. Our water hookup was weird…it ended up under our back bumper were we had to crawl under to connect. And we had issue with 50 amp…the plug needs attention…it turned off at 0430 and we switched to 30amp," Beth B. mentions.

    Site reservations strategy: For larger rigs, requesting specific sites may require additional fees. "Even though you pick a spot on their map they will change you to a different spot unless you pay the $35 extra to 'lock in' a specific spot," cautions Sarah about Jellystone Park.
