What you should know
Site conditions vary: RV pads throughout the region have different surfaces and leveling challenges. "Sites are roomy, however the roads and sites could use updating. They go from paved to gravel," observes one camper, while another notes at Oh! Kentucky RV Park: "It's well maintained and the staff are friendly. It's easy to get to and set up. The sites are a bit too close together. And not perfectly level."
Construction noise: Some campgrounds experience temporary disruptions. "The only problem right now is construction going on behind it, they are clearing out land to build something and they started work today at 5 in the morning. Also you do get road noise as it is at the intersection of two main Kentucky roads," explains Tim about Westgate RV Campground.
Weather considerations: Walnut Meadow RV Park can experience seasonal flooding. "They had a bad storm the night before our stay so alot of flooded sites. Megan called me before our arrival to warn me and check if there would be anything else we would need. Most of the sites were gravel but grass areas were still under water," explains Matthew A.
Tips for camping with families
