Best RV Parks & Resorts near Scottsville, KY

This park is located on the entrance road to Mammoth Caves NP, and it is a spectacular way to stay and enjoy the hiking in the caves!

The park was smaller than many Encore and Thousand Trails parks but offers all of the normal amenities including the pool, playground, clubhouses, putt putt and more. They have sites that are easy to get into, some pull through and some back in. They have full hookup and some partial hookups. There are many seasonal or permanent campers.

Cellular service was ok with TMobile and AT&T. Once you come away from the hills it is much better.

There are many local restaurants within 20 minutes and several other cave systems to see here as well.

This is an old campground that is only desirable because of its proximity to Mammoth Cave. The Thousand Trails website portrays it as being some oasis on par with their other campgrounds, but it is as far from luxury as it gets.

They claim to follow the same guidelines expected of other Thousand Trails locations, but there are many full timers at this campground with junk in their sites, flying their Trump flags, not picking up after their dogs.

Sites in row B are 30 amp hookups. 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).

Sites are tight. Be prepared to get friendly with your neighbor when you go outside because you essentially share the minimal amount of space between sites. Water spigots are also shared, which means you’ll have low water pressure if you’re both using water simultaneously. Sewer connections at our site were threaded, but there are no covers for when they’re not in use. The sewer hookups are also tied together underground, so be prepared to enjoy the smell of your black tank when you empty.

The electricity at the campground doesn’t appear to be able to handle the amount of load that most campers will pull in the summer months. The checkin packet recommends not running multiple high wattage appliances simultaneously (even if the total draw would be under the amperage of your site’s breaker).

Long story short, there are nicer places to stay that are just a short drive away. This place is a joke for $70 per night. Save your money and drive a few miles I further down the interstate. You won’t regret it.

I was traveling during everything shutting down, 2020, and feel lucky to have found this with lots of space between campers, all on gravel, and a pond and some long term people who seem to work there. Some families came and went the four days, and some overnight as they were headin to Canada, Massachusetts, and Texas. A small pond and field to walk or play on was a little wet when I came, dried out quickly, and another rain before I left Mar 26. There is a small number of items in the office for RVs and pop and ice cream. The proprietors want everyone to feel welcome and kids to have enough toys, fishin poles, and movies to borrow and return. I know I want to come back!

Diamond Caverns RV Resort was an enjoyable stay on the edge of Mammoth Cave National Park. Right off of I65 it's a short drive to the campground.

Not much shade but the sites were well maintained. A pool, miniature golf and scheduled activities.

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.

WOW we loved this park and caves and hikes, the kids could not stop talking and talking about the caves. This campground is close to the visitor center and you’ll need site reservations in summer. Showers are wonderfully hot but there’s no RV hookups. Our sites were pretty close to another but I think some of them had some more privacy. We met someone camping here with their horse which sounded like so much fun (but don’t worry the horse sites are farther away so no barn smells).

This is a perfect spot for passing through town. We are in our way to North Carolina from Mississippi. My husband made this reservation over the phone with a really trusting kind person. They double checked the availability because they were almost totally full. It was a pull through spot close to the bathrooms. We were able to use just electrical hook up for the night to rest. It’s a few minutes off I-40 and lots of gas options close by. It’s only minutes from Nashville downtown. This is a family owned business with a permanent house in the front. Looked like there were some long term rental people here. If it were summer months there is a pool up front. We will add this to our list for location and price!

Nice big full hook up sites with some shade close to downtown Nashville.

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.

I actually had a really good stay here, but I will say that the water park was closed and it wasn’t peak season. They do keep the campground up and it is very friendly service. I like that they had cable and a full hook up and the showers and bathrooms were nice

Bledsoe is great for little kids (which is now my primary criteria when judging a park). There is a flat trail next to the lake that my two year old loves to run up and down, playgrounds, and a story trail. There are also some nice hiking trails with beautiful views of the lake (for me) and lots of bugs and turtles (for the toddler).

While most of the campsites have RV hookups, there are several primitive sites next to the lake that are away from all the generator noise. These sites have ample room and a nice view of the lake.

Great camping for families that is a short drive from Nashville.

The Grand Ole RV Resort is a nice park to stay in near all the fun and sightseeing of Nashville, Tennessee. The campground is very tidy and well-kept. There are a lot of grassy areas for your dog and large shade trees to relax under. The office doubles as a restaurant which serves breakfast and dinner daily. They also sell snacks and basic RV supplies. The campground does not have a lot of amenities, but makes up for it with live nightly music! What a treat when you are visiting “Music City!” The sites are 30/50 amp FHU and pretty tight. We are literally parked less than 2 feet from our neighbor, so if you don’t like close quarters, this is probably not the right park for you. We enjoyed our stay here, though, and would stay here again when in the area. 👍🏻😊

Close to Mammoth Cave State Park. Space 37 was large. Park is older and the amenities are very little. Full hook up, nice open spaces. Town is not to far. The staff was very nice, shared the local information and offered any further service let them know
