    Marengo Cave Campgrounds

    Near Caves

    I stayed on late October and I was the only one there, except for a family on the cabins. The spots are just near and walking distance from the caves and other attractions. They have two potable water spots (so no water on each spot), picnic tables, fire rings, grills and every spot faces the little river. restrooms and showers too. You can bring small pets inside the cave if you carry them all time. I have a small zuchon and carry her in a doggy backpack 🎒 she loved it!

    Marengo Cave Campgrounds

    Small sites but very clean!

    Camp sites are pretty small, but are aligned along a small stream. Heavy truck and train traffic can be heard at all hours. Sites equipped with electricity, a gazebo & picnic table, and fire pit. Camp store, cave tours, gift shop, and other pay activities are within steps of camping, but only open until 5:00. No security or staff at all after hours. Bath house was heated, extremely clean with flush toilets, and continual hot water. City water access in the middle of the campsite. Play area and 2 large covered areas for get together's. Newer cabins looked very nice from outside. Caves are obviously a must see while there. More caves are within driving distance.

    Deam Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    First time camping

    Stayed in D04. Had 30 amp plus 20 amp hookups. Picnic table. 15 pieces of firewood for 5 plus tax. Friends stayed in the chickadee cabin and d03. Neat cabins all wood with Portable AC.

    A few hikes. Horse camping so was cool to see the horses. A beach location and a few fishing spots.

    The lake doesn’t allow non electric motors so waters were calm. Caught some bluegills.

    Public restrooms and showers.

    Ice in the area cheapest at the truck stops and gas stations 2 10lbs for 5 bucks.

    Would stop again if in the area.

    Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground

    Really nice!

    We stayed here one night. It's a small campground about 35 mins from Louisville and has about 40ish sites for RVs with electric and water, some with sewage. Our site was fairly small and pretty close to other sites but it was easy enough to get into and fit our 12ft pop up without issue. They have 2 bathrooms(the one by the laundry/store is very nice!), a catch and release pond(small, but there are small bluegill and some bass), a nice playground, clean pool, store on site, and overall we had a great time. There are also several connections for wifi, and cable(we didn't try it). The staff seemed very nice. Our site without sewage was $30 plus tax, they also offer tent sites and small cabins($40-50 with air conditioning) if that's your thing. Our site was nice and shaded. We were disturbed a few times by trains in the middle of the night- otherwise it was pretty peaceful and quiet.

    Marengo Cave Campgrounds

    Relaxing Setting

    Overall this truly was a cute little spot to camp out on our way to Kentucky! One of the benefits of this site is that the cave and gift shop are right there, so you have a cool Opportunity to take a tour and then stay in the same area. The campgrounds are all equipped with a nice fire pit, picnic table, lean to, and the availability of electric hookup. The campgrounds also has a couple newer cabins that look really cute. The camper and tent spots are right along a cute little creek so it was very pleasant. They have a small shed attached to the gift shop that has firewood for sale. They have a small cafe that sells the usual hot dogs, chips, soda and the sort. They also have a larger open air pavilion that they provide yard games like, cornhole, horseshoes, and other games, so pretty nice. I would definitely recommend this as it is small and intimate, but if you are looking for private seclusion this is not for you.

    Charlestown State Park Campground

    Wonderful clean quiet state park

    Great park for quiet camping. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. All have electric hookup...others are full service. Many relatively secluded sites. Bath houses clean. Multiple hiking trails which can be mixed and matched for longer hikes..all moderate.

    Moutardier

    Lakeside, fisherman's paradise

    Moutardier Campground is a fisherman’s paradise. It is located on Nolin River Lake. Our site was lakeside which was beautiful (Site D6). This campsite offered electric/water hookup, fire pit, picnic table, filet table, bathrooms, and showers. There were boat ramps, a marina nearby to rent boats, and also offered a playground. Pets were welcomed (we have a dog and a hiking cat). We also had cell service (Verizon). 

    The view of the lake from the teardrop camper was awesome. We kayaked around the lake which was very enjoyable - saw ducks, and birds such as a grey heron. Also lots of fish jumping. There are power boats allowed in the lake. Many people were fishing from their boats, kayaks, or from the shore. 

    There is also a two mile hike that is in the campground called Shady Creek Trail. It looked like it had not been hiked in a while but it went through woods, small stream and had a cool rock formation at one part that you would swear is a haven for snakes. Pets enjoyed it but beware if you do not like spiders. This trail was covered in spiders and webs. No exaggeration that we cleared about a hundred spiders out of our path. 

    The campground was very well manicured and clean. Many of the sites were right on the lake. They were close together but did not seem it as they were on different levels and angles. Everyone was quiet and courteous. Bathrooms were very clean and well lit. The showers were “dated” - water stains but clean. Great water pressure and hot water. 

    There was no store on the campground but 5 minutes away was a great little restaurant called Sherry’s that we had both lunch and breakfast at. Food was delicious (fried dill pickle chips!) and one could buy bags of ice. 

    Overall this was a very relaxing campground. We met some wonderful people who have been coming to the campground for years. It is about 30 minutes from Mammoth Caves which was a great place to explore. Overall we gave the campground a 4 - lakeside and if you love to fish - it’s paradise.

    Sycamore Springs Park

    Friendly, quiet and clean

    My wife and I went to Sycamore Springs Park a few weeks ago and stayed for 3 days. We tent camped and it was fantastic. We were right at the lake edge. The campsite had electric but no water, but the water was just across the road at a shelter. The park assigned campers to where they were distanced from each other due to COVID. The showers were the best I've seen, clean and strong pressure. It is also pet friendly. Our Golden loved the camp and the lake. I recommend this camp to all who want a quiet get away.

    Deam Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    Nice Campground, Pretty Lake

    This campground is very family-friendly and fun. There are horse trails, a beach, and great water for swimming/kayaking/canoeing. It is pet friendly as well. The bath house in our area was older but fairly clean. We felt like there was good spacing between the sites, and we weren’t too close to our neighbors. Beautiful in the Fall!


Guide to West Point

Cabin camping facilities dot the area within 30 miles of West Point, Kentucky, located along the Ohio River at an elevation of approximately 440 feet. The region experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures typically reaching the high 80s and cold winters with occasional snowfall. Most cabin rentals remain accessible year-round despite seasonal weather variations.

What to do

Explore cave systems: At Marengo Cave Campgrounds, visitors can tour natural limestone formations within a designated National Natural Landmark. "I was really surprised that in my 30 years of living in Indiana, I had never been to Marengo Cave. It's both great for kids and adults," notes a camper. Tours operate until 5:00 pm daily.

Kayaking on calm waters: Buffalo Trace Park offers lake activities with restricted motor usage. "The lake was beautiful and the park was well maintained," reports one visitor, though they mention seasonal limitations on amenities: "Wished the beach, paddle boats, and petting zoo was open."

Hiking woodland trails: Multiple trail systems around Charlestown State Park provide varying difficulty levels. "We enjoyed rose island trail lots of cool history to learn. Also enjoyed trail 6 with the waterfalls," comments one hiker who stayed at Charlestown State Park Campground.

What campers like

Clean facilities: The maintenance level at Deam Lake State Recreation Area receives consistent praise. "The bathrooms are definitely the cleanest and well taken care of anywhere I've ever been," reports a satisfied visitor who enjoyed the comfort stations.

Stream-side sites: Many campers appreciate natural water features at campgrounds. At Marengo Cave, "Camp sites are pretty small, but are aligned along a small stream. Sites equipped with electricity, a gazebo & picnic table, and fire pit."

Family-friendly layout: Sycamore Springs Park stands out for its designated play areas. "Playgrounds everywhere. Nice big sites with full hookups in the newer section. Price is very nominal for the amenities in my opinion," states one camper who adds that there are "little village set up houses to play in!"

What you should know

Train noise considerations: Several campgrounds experience railroad disruptions. At Louisville North Campground, campers report: "TRAINS. ALL. NIGHT. LONG. OMG, the trains. All night, every night. I'm a heavy sleeper and it sounded like the trains were going to crash into our RV."

Limited privacy at some sites: Site spacing varies considerably between parks. One camper at Buffalo Trace Park notes: "The sites are well-spaced and there's a beautiful lake," while another at Louisville North Campground observed, "The sites are just gravel and literally on top of each other."

Seasonal facility closures: Water systems at many campgrounds shut down during winter. A Buffalo Trace camper reports, "They have electric and water (frost-free) still on, and the (heated) shower/restroom are open year round," indicating this park maintains some winter services.

Tips for camping with families

Pack for creek exploration: Multiple cabin camping areas feature small streams for water play. One parent at Sycamore Springs Park reported, "We were able to go 'creeking' do trail walking, bike riding. Just a super neat little place."

Choose sites away from highways: Road noise affects some camping areas near West Point. A reviewer at Otter Creek Park Campground notes, "Sites on the lake view side are noisy due to traffic on the highway."

Consider seasonal activities: Halloween events transform some campgrounds in October. "We go every fall with our entire family to enjoy the Halloween activities. The campers all go all out and let the kids trick or treat," shares an Otter Creek camper.

Tips from RVers

Leveling preparation: Several campgrounds require significant adjustments for trailers. At Buffalo Trace Park, one RVer advised, "Make sure you have plenty of leveling blocks. We used all of ours and was not level."

Site selection for larger rigs: Space constraints affect larger vehicles at some locations. "The campground is made for smaller sizes but we were able to negotiate the main ring road with our 37' travel trailer," notes an RVer at Buffalo Trace Park.

Utilities vary by location: Water and electrical connections aren't standardized across area campgrounds. At White Acres Campground, a visitor reports: "You have everything you need to live comfortably in this RV park. Besides all the hook ups you also have a market!"
