Zilpo Campground
Beautiful campground
Quiet, less utilized campground on Cave Run Lake. Campsites have more privacy and are more primitive. There is a bathhouse, but it is not regularly maintained. This campground is perfect for kayaking and fishing. Some of the campsites have private beaches.
Natural Bridge Campground
Okay
Sites are okay. We had one with trees so got some shade. Staff is friendly. The restrooms didn’t get cleaned the entire 5 nights we were here. The floor was swept but the same dead fly on the sink was there all week too. There are only 2 men’s and two women’s shower/toilet rooms for the entire camp. During the week it was not an issue but the place got full on Friday night and having two toilets for each sec is not a good plan, especially if two men want to shower leaving no men’s facilities until they’re done. Probably would not return.
Zilpo Campground
Wonderfully Quite Place
Stay 6 nights, very peaceful and quite place, this time of year! Campground empty, no one there. Beautiful sites, large, all fine gravel and paved pull offs, very nice! Bathrooms could use a update, easily Lot’s of bug in May, but huge amount of ticks 🕷️ Campground sets back off main road about 10 miles, so no traffic noise at all. Has boat lunch, beach, camp store, 2 dump stations, 7 loops host at most of them, very nice people. We had great time, will defiantly be back to stay again!
Renfro Valley KOA
Mount Vernon, KY…Disappointed in KOA’s
The office never seemed to be open. We needed propane upon leaving but couldn’t find anyone. Sites are small, not level and in need of some upkeep. The hookups were poorly placed and the electric hookup was loose. When we plugged in it recessed back into the unit and difficult to plug into. They were to pick up trash at 11 but by putting it b/4 11 I always seemed to miss it.
Twin Knobs Recreation Area
Beautiful Area
Stayed on the F Loop next to the lake, fire pit, picnic table, level tent site and bathroom showers a short walk. Camp hosts very friendly and helpful. campsite are close together.
Red River Adventure
Very well maintained, fun, and great campground!
We love this campground! Had a great time here, the staff was friendly and helpful and kind and it felt extremely remote and secluded and private too! The campsites are very large and spacious - they have firewood and porta-potties on site and its right along the river. Our favorite campsite in the gorge - especially because it has no cell service! :)
Natural Bridge Campground
NICE LOCATION BATHROOMS/SHOWER HOUSE NEEDS WORK
Over all the stay was nice. Quiet and close to everything. Only complaint was they wanted us to buy wood their but the wood was to wet to even burn so I could use it. . Also the Bathrooms were pretty nasty and run down same with the showers.
Blood under one of the toilet sees. Pretty nasty. Staff was pretty nice though and everyone was friendly
Sheltowee RV Park & Cabins
Loved
Super close to all the sightseeing. Perfect prices and just really enjoyed it. The sites are a little tight but overall very nice and kept up to date.
Twin Knobs Recreation Area
Amazing
We always make sure this is our #1 spot to go it's our home base campground , love the mature trees in the campground and the trail around the lake . It's beautiful ❤️ down here must visit.
Twin Knobs Recreation Area
Great campground! Large sites!
We stayed on an inner loop and was happy with our site but after scouting other sites, we would definitely go for an outer loop lakeside site next time. Gravel pads. Bathroom and showers were good. Quiet, peaceful campground with friendly staff. Enjoy all the lake activities!
Twin Knobs Recreation Area
Twin Knobs cozy camping spots
Good level spots. Quiet the first week of April. Good picnic table and fire pit. Restrooms are not far from any of the site in the loop. Will update after we use the shower house. I thought that we would be able to walk from our location to the camp store. It is possible but not easy. The camp store and laundry were closed March 31, bought firewood at entry for $8 a bundle.
Red River Gorge Campground
Great Views
This was our first time camping and we had a great time! The views were amazing. The staff was nice and very helpful!
Zilpo Campground
Great spot
Great spot! Clean bathrooms and showers, large spacious spots and a gorgeous lake. Highly recommend!
Outpost Campground & RV Park
Busy but quiet
Very full this weekend. Stayed 3nights as a rest point in our travels. Very clean and well laid out. Laundry was inexpensive and accessible all hours.
Twin Knobs Recreation Area
Great experience
Wonderful area. Bath houses/restrooms were very clean and nice. (Single occupancy). Nice area. Beach area of lake was closed due to flooding.
Daniel Boone Campground
Staff was rude
I only camp with a hammock. I rarely use a tent unless I have too. The staff here hassled me a lot for not wanting to use a tent. I explained to them how much more comfortable and easy it is to use yet they insinuated that it’s not a “good look”.
Outpost Campground & RV Park
Family friendly
We stayed 5 nights at the Outpost and the owner was extremely nice! Brought me some fresh tomatoes and watermelon for my birthday! The campground was clean, the play ground needed a little attention when we first arrived but they filled in the holes and it made it so much more enjoyable for my 3 YO. The pool was a nice addition. The camp store has the essentials that you may need during your stay. Can't wait to come back!
Zilpo Campground
Great time with family and great staff
Nice primitive cabin with luxury
Zilpo Campground
Great semi rustic
Stayed at cabin D11. Nicely maintained. A bit on the small side but good for a place to lay your head. This cabin is directly opposite the restrooms for this loop. Cabin is about 10 x 20. The front room has two chairs a bench and table and the air conditioner. The second room has four single bunk beds.
The grounds around the cabin are nice with gravel area for setting up an outdoor kitchen or tent or lounge chairs.
4 Guys RV Park at Red River Gorge
Lovely Stay
Had a really great time at 4 Guys! The park is super clean, tons of showers in the bath house, nice little pool, lots of amenities at the camp store, fire pits and picnic tables at every site, a little creek access to wade in, and everyone was super friendly! Full hookups were SO nice. Great location near all Red River Gorge has to offer. My only complaint, and I will say it is a very small complaint — it must be a relatively new park because there are no shade trees. This minor flaw will not stop me from returning!
Zilpo Campground
Great, secluded campground
We’re very familiar with twin knobs. Zilpo is the backwoods cousin. A bit more remote, but we found the campground to be fantastic. It is more densely wooded than twin knobs. The sites are generally just as good, but there is more variety between primitive/hookup/cabins. The beach is not quite as big, but plenty big, and wasn’t crowded over July 4 weekend. The beach store has bare essentials. There doesn’t seem to be ranger programming. Not all the loops have showers in the bathroom buildings.
Zilpo Campground
Starting to get rundown
We camped there last week. Spots F10, F12, & F13. F10 said it was 50 amp on line, but it was 30 amp with a breaker that had two 20 amp 110 plugs. It is a beautiful campground, but the government is letting it get rundown. The bath house in our loop didn't have a shower. A hassle trying to load up the kids to go find a shower for my friends. I used my in camper shower. The water faucets are getting so old and they leak so it's hard to get a hose on for water. Around the campsites have grown up with brush and weeds worse than I have ever seen. We were constantly picking off tiny ticks, they were everywhere. All three of us got ants in our campers and 2 of us got mice. I know, all part of nature, but we don't experience that at Twin Knobs (across the lake). The bugs were so bad that we couldn't turn any lights on at night. The paths that lead down to the lake were overgrown. We ended up just driving down to the beach or ramp. There are a few projects that US Forestry could spend some money on that would make it a lot nicer over there. Memories of how nice it was over there 20 years ago make it sad to see it now. My campsite smelled so bad for the first 2 days that I went searching for the cause. There was a dead (very rotten) snake that had been covered up with leaves at the edge of my campsite. I got gloves on and cleaned it up in order to be able to be outside. The one good thing is that the dump station had good pressure. Remember the sites are very short, so know how long the site is if you are bringing anything over 30 feet. No cell service, which could be nice, but we were unaware of a bad storm that hit us. It is a very quite place though.
Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park
Podunk campground
Reserved 3 nights here on a site on the inner loop (where the shelter and bath house are). The site was level and had some new gravel on tithe pad. It was extremely close to the inside circle area and camper hosts’ party for the holiday. A very large bounce house was plugged in and blowing about 15 ft. From our site. It stayed on all day and night all weekend. Obnoxious, loud, could not sit outside at all. Another bounce house was up near the playground.Campers were initially nice but then turned into an angry mob when we asked if bounce house could be turned off (10:15 pm?). Threatening people and rude behavior forced us to cut this trip short. We don’t recommend going there and doubt the KY state Parks are up to par compared to Ohio and Indiana campgrounds. Pool is closed also for the year.
Renfro Valley KOA
Not a Fan
We stayed here with an Airstream Caravan of Kentucky. Our second KOA on this trip and in all of our RVing. Sites have utilities setup where you share with your neighbor. Essentially putting them at your front door. No privacy at all. Confirmed our practice of avoiding KOA’s.
Zilpo Campground
Nice and quiet.
A lovely campground that is well-maintained and very peaceful. We opted for a site with electricity and it had a nice level pad for our trailer and truck, a fire ring, a picnic table and post for our lantern. The campground itself is quite large, taking up the whole peninsula, there are not many public areas to access the beach for swimming, but there are a few moderate to easy hiking trails and during our visit other than ice and firewood there was nothing available as the store was closed. We were at our campsite at the beginning of May, and I will say be very careful as I pulled more ticks off of myself and my dog than I ever have in my life, so be sure to triple check.
Twin Knobs Recreation Area
Great NF campground with everything
Fantastic NF campground with everything for anyone. Clean bathrooms and showers. Big sites with water in between. Great hiking trails and if you have kayaks or small boats….. looks like you’ve found the place. Oh and this place has good cell service too.
Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park
Not too much to see here—
We parked one night at this campground on our way further south just for one night. It was a bit crowded and noisy, with not too much easily accessible from the grounds. The trails were pretty short/not well-traveled, but the historical buildings/remnants were cool. The primitive sites are just kind of tucked into one corner of the grounds—this is definitely mainly an RV site. No tent pads (which is fine) and the grounds were kinda mucky (I'm sure it had just rained recently, but we had to drive through it to get to our tucked away site). We chatted with a lot of locals who keep their campers there for the season, and they were super friendly. We bought firewood there, and the bathroom facilities were decently kept.
