Well kept campground with a pond. Bathrooms were well maintained and clean. Lots of stars at night!
ScoutFinal approach/exit to the park is very steep. Beautiful sites but fairly close together. Gravelled roads and pads surrounded by forest with three small streams cutting through. Sites are not particularly level. Bathrooms are clean and the hosts are attentive. The only trash bin is near the office by the out of service pool.

We stayed two nights in our small mobile home. The pluses were electric and water hookups, and the beauty of the area. The trees were at peak color! The minuses were that some of the sites were very narrow, and some had a huge drop off from the camping pad to the grass. You almost have to drive there and look at the sites one by one to make sure what you're getting! Having said that, the area is well lighted and boasts a beautiful (though not really as easy as advertised) trail around the lake.

Loved this campground growing up! We tent camped and our relatives RV camped. However they have cut down most of the trees, the facilities aren’t maintained very well and the campground/park looks more run down than ever. It’s sad but I hope they update and maintain it more in the future.
ScoutThis is a super clean campground. Like amazingly maintained. If you are looking for a family campground I wouldn't stay here. This is not a kid friendly place. There is not space for them to run around. There is supposed to be a playground but there isn't which is why I did 4 stars.
If you want somewhere clean, to stay in your camper or just in a chair right outside, This is perfect. If you need somewhere to be for a night to leave the next day it's great.
It's not a good campground to explore or do anything at. Not a good one for kids under the age of 16, there is just nothing to do. When we were here 2 if the 3 trails were closed. We won't stay here again because it just isn't a good fit for us. But if you aren't looking for a family campground, then this is probably ideal for you.
ScoutSites too close together. Clean showers and restrooms. Not much for a family to do.
No playground for the kiddos, a small water hole for catch-and-release fishing.
Really nice for off-site attractions (Creation Museum, Ark Encounter)
No The Dyrt discount, Did offer Senior and Museum discount of 10%
GuideWell this is our last stop before we go home. The campground was very nice. Lots to do for the kiddos. Worth going back for a longer stay.
TravelerIt wasn’t exactly rustic but you couldn’t ask for much more just 10 miles from the ark . They have a few hiking trails and a creek the kids caught crawfish in.
TravelerGeneral Butler State Park it’s about my favorite park, it’s clean,  And the camping spaces aren’t real close together, and the restrooms are clean It’s quiet and it’s close to home.
ScoutStayed overnight here just for a quick stop on our way from Wisconsin to the Smokey Mountains … bathrooms were in pretty rough shape and not cleaned at all. For the price it’s not terrible, but not clean at all.
TravelerFun little place. RV sites and tent sites lakeside. Fishing, ducks. $5 swimming pool nearby. $20/night tents. Showers and restrooms. Nice parks nearby for equestrian, playground, disk golf course. Huge mall nearby in Simpsonville KY. Drivable to Louisville. Stop at Wings n Rings, yum. Highly recommend. Closes for winter Oct 31 to tents.

Dangerous animals on site! My child was bit by a cat at the playground. The cat had been hanging out around the office and at the play ground for a few days while we were there. We asked the office to trap and monitor the cat per health department sugestion after ER visit following bite. The camp manager has given us several different stories about having trapped the cat and then not having the cat then her husband taking the cat to his siatera house. When animal control and Kentucky dpt of health talked to them they gave them all different stories too. Bottom line is they are dishonest people and have a dangerous animal on their property. Beware BEWARE!!! Especially if you have children!
GuideThis is a small campground with only one bath house. They are working to make improvements. It’s nice and quiet here. We are staying here so we can go to the Ark Encounter. Not a lot of camping available around here.
GuideQuiet lil place clean showers and bathrooms extremely friendly staff who will go out of their way to help you set up. (Was offered hoses and power cords if needed). I stayed in 4A and leveled with ease . It’s a back In Only but they are there with you to guide. Dog friendly which is a big bonus. Has some on site cats too. We are 36 class A but had many different sites available and some great looking primitive sites as well. We will be back to relax and get back to nature.
TravelerWe stayed at Three Springs from 8/14-8/18 2022.
It's a delightful little campground with great atmosphere. The owners are very sociable and easy to work with... All sites are back in, but the owners escort you to your site and guides you into your spot. The ride from the main road down to the campground is narrow and difficult if you meet another vehicle, but most understand the Check-in and Check-out hours, so it's not much of an issue. The owners are currently renovating and upgrading several aspects of the park and adding a Laundry for campers.
Definitely on my "will stay again" list of campgrounds.
GuideOnly 10 RV spots, 9 have electric and water hook ups (which is what we had). It was awesome backing into the spot as there is ample asphalt in front of all the sites. The lake is peaceful. To dump afterward was OK to get in but it is a tighter fit and that's the reason for the 4 stars. It would be nice if you could pull through to dump but you have to back in. We stayed here as an overnight halfway spot so we really didn't want to hang out in our spot much. The sites are close to one another but it did not bother me.

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.
GuideWe spent one of three nights booked here and left. The freeway traffic is very loud 24 hours and the train comes at least 2 times per night (2am and 5am Sunday night anyway) blowing its horn. After a long day on the road ya just want a good nights sleep…didn’t happen.We were in spot 75 with “water view”. Not worth the extra money, there’s no view from the site because the way the RV’s are stacked in. Didn’t even bother checking out facilities (or asking for a refund) we just packed up and left.
Rangeris a nice place to camp the only bad a train horn and noise
TravelerWe 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.
TravelerWe stopped for one night on our way home. This is a really cute little campground. Nice bath house. Sites are level and right next to a little stream. Hiking trails and close to I 75. Highly recommend.
GuideEasy access, paved camping pads were close, no privacy between sites. Most spots seemed fairly level. Baths/showers average but heated.
TravelerA very quiet place to camp. Thay will help you If you need help. We really enjoyed the piece an quiet.
ScoutWe stayed here three nights while visiting The Ark. We were 50 feet from the I-75 fence and it was quite noisy, but noise is completely eleminated by our AC fan. The road is a bit narrow but easily passable. Walmart and eating places are nearby.
RangerIts a nice place to camping the only bad a train noise
GuideGeneral Butler State Park had a lot to do on site and wasn't too far from the town's nearest amenities like a grocery store and a few places to dine out.
Things to do: Scenic overlook- great view- as a short person I couldn’t see a ton though as the trees were impeding on my view. Hiked the Butler Lake Trail with dogs this was a fun trail We tried to hike the Woodland Trail- unfortunately it had just rained for the few days before that and it was too sloppy for us and our dogs General Butler State Park
Laundry Facilities- Only two washers and dryers that I could find at the entire park. Luckily no one was there when I went to do laundry but several came after me that had to wait.
Pool- There was a pool available for free to any of the campers- we did not get a chance to check this out.
Showers/Bathrooms- Showers and bathrooms were good, generally clean two shower houses at the park. The one I tried worked well.
Two Parks for kids to play at and a lot of room to walk just around the campgrounds on the cement for our dogs with ample available grass area for our dogs to go potty.
Really beautiful park overall.
TravelerThis place is a tiny little dump that is not at all maintained by management. Dead trees all over the property, grass not cut or cared for properly, management rude and unfriendly, and bath house is a nightmare!! No wifi for guests like they claim as it doesn't work and didn't work our entire stay! TRUST ME if you are smart you'll avoid this place and instead spend your time and money at one of the much nicer well maintained scenic campgrounds near by this place which include kincaid lake state park campground, a.j jolly campground or big bone lick state park ..
