Best Campgrounds near Shepherdsville, KY

I stayed here two nights and loved it! There was a train that was loud as it went by but other than that this spot is great! The host was responsive and pleasant. I had no issues while there. Will return for sure.

The only thing the manager wants to do is catch people's cats and not tell people where the cats are being taken, threaten to evict people if they don't maintain pest control for their individual sites even though the cockroach infestation is campground-wide and no individual tenant's fault, and harass people who don't nod and agree wuth everything she says. She'll also let people get away with blatant animal abuse (keeping KITTENS, literal actual KITTENS) in a tiny cage in 90+ degree weather with no food or water and TAKE THE ABUSER'S SIDE when the kittens are released. She and her boyfriend/husband/whoever that dude is will BOTH speed through the campground when they're pissed. If you see tire tracks in the gravel, it's theirs.

Never been so glad to get out of a place in my life. They run it like a prison, not a campground.

Oh and I forgot to mention their little "security" henchman they have SNOOP AROUND PEOPLE'S RVS AT NIGHT WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW! I only found out after catching him looking under my RV without my permission but apparently WITH D's permission! And he does it to everyone's RVs! The manager(s) are insane.

This is a nice campground. We went on a weekend in July and it was as pretty busy, as to be expected. Because of that, we didn’t visit the beach area, however my in laws did and they said it was nice. They swam and kayaked. Staff is friendly. Facilities are pretty clean, nothing to write home about. Didn’t use the showers. My sons enjoyed the nature center. This is the closest state park to us, so I’m sure we will be back. Be sure to stop in town for ice cream.

I am a long term camper. This park has all the utilities water, electric, sewer. I haven't had issues with the free wifi and am able to stream movies and TV with no buffering.

They have a community building with restrooms, showers, laundry, kitchen area, and mail pick up. They also have an outdoor community area with a fire pit, lounge chairs, and grill.

They have been having events for the children. Movie night, outdoor games, and a camp fire with smores.

It's quiet and 5 minutes away from town. Door dash delivers.

The manager is a sweetheart and makes sure any issues are taken care of.

Great hosts, quiet camping location, 5 minute drive into town. No, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but we don’t need all that stuff. I’d rather pay a cheaper price than to stay at a place with activities going on all the time and so much noise you can’t enjoy the countryside.

First thing first. Keven was awesome! Hands down best stay at a camp area I've ever had. Hospitality awesome. Animals awesome. Neighbors were quiet as well. Even though we had an accidental mishap. Kevin was super cool. Would definitely recommend. Will be coming back for sure. 

The "island" site is a nice little shaded area above the riverside. Off to the right corner of the site is a set of stairs leading down to the river with an area to take some chairs and relax by the water. On a clear night it was super relaxing listening to nature and looking up in the night sky and seeing orions belt and the moon directly above the river. Pretty damn cool especially if you have never seen country sky at night. The animals are a few donkeys, chickens, and a farm cat all are very friendly and won't get into your stuff but occasionally will stop by and say hi. Overall....great experience. If you get a chance to book this spot. Don't think about it just do it. THANKS KEVEN! keep the bottle caps going!!!

This is one of the cleanest campgrounds with excellent water views and you can pull your kayaks or floats into the river from your site..clean river lots of fisherman out ..we are in the C loop C007 and the site is amazing there are many riverside sites but some are primitive so make sure to double check

My family visited Louisville South at the beginning of June for an extended family trip.

Pros- Lots of activities for kids. Nice pool, great playground, bounce pad. Bike rental. Decent (not spectacular) hiking trails. The RV sites with patio were very nice, but could be bigger.

Cons- some (not all) of the staff. One lady in particular was always rude, and didn’t like answering questions. There was a security light for the bounce pad that was on all night long, and thoroughly illuminated the adjacent tent sites. My brother’s family of 6 did not sleep well. This is something that is easily corrected by installing a shade over one edge of the light, but the staff didn’t seem to care.

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.

We went up in June 2024. There are several spots that are in the shade, but some of them are permanent campers. There is a fishing lake and a small river to fish in or wade and swim in. There is a miniature village for the kids along with 20 playgrounds in the campground. Golf carts are available to rent, and I feel are a necessity to get around this large park. There are also large fields to play in. Didn’t use the bath house. The general store has ice and a few souvenirs. There is cell service (AT&T and Verizon) There is also free wood. They have really cool spiral steps that lead up to a walk bridge. They also have a donkey and goats to pet. Altogether a really nice and clean park. Will definitely go again.

The bathrooms are dirty, showers are full of hair, the toilets are dirty, staff can be rude, not a lot to do besides walk/drive around, not a very fun park if u was to bring ur kids to it, there’s not much to see. I wouldn’t waste ur take time comming here and instead go to a better park that’s much better

We tent camped and it was not a bad time. Very dead and very quiet, and we met a friendly raccoon.

Such a quiet place. The resident goats, mules, donkeys and horses are very friendly - just like the hosts!

This park allows overnight camping. We were the only ones there overnight, but lots of families and soccer practice until mid evening.

If you’re looking for a quiet campground in a semi-rural setting, this is the place for you. No frills, full hookups for 50 amp. No laundry on site and only one local laundromat. Super Walmart and Kroger within 5 or so miles. There’s a lake on-site but requires a medium sized hike downhill and through undergrowth. Shade is at a premium as there aren’t many trees.

The staff are super helpful. The site we had was for a 38’ RV. Full hookups, dog park, lots of places to walk, even trails. We had a great stay here and will most likely come back next time we’re near Louisville.
