Camp on the Kentucky

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

River frontage along the Kentucky draws anglers and boaters to this privately run campground in Versailles, with a boat launch that sees regular weekend use. Sites are level, grass-padded, and well-maintained, with gravel roads throughout the grounds. Tent campers can book by the night or arrange longer stays, a less common option in the area. Full hookups are available for RVs, and a small camp store covers basic supplies. Note the office closes early on Sunday through Tuesday, so calling ahead is worth the effort if arrival time is uncertain. Nearby, Cummins Ferry Resort Campground & Marina gives anglers another access point along the same stretch of river. The campground's cancellation policy is strict, so read the terms carefully before booking.

No refund policy and owner is rude.

Campers beware. We had a family emergency and had to cancel our week at CAMP ON THE KENTUCKY. I gave them almost 3 weeks notice. This is the reply I finally got after a week of trying to get a response. I also sent him hospital discharge papers as proof of the situation.

"Well, as of now, we have a no refund policy so I feel I'm being very generous, that said, our time is not free. I'm sorry for you current situation and I wish you and your family all the best."

Family owned and ran campgroung/rv park

Very nice little family ran campground. Small with limited amount of sites. However, beautiful view of the river and the owners have that down to earth southern hospitality. Nice little lodge area to sit outside or go inside with snacks, food, pool tables, and fireplace.

Seasonal Campground With Great Pricing

Something that sets this place apart from others in the area is long term tent camping!! Yes you read that right, LONG TERM TENT CAMPING! For most of those who travel you know they often offer long term services for those in RVs which provides a discount for staying more than a night or two, but at this campground you as a tent camper can find a location that suits your Kentucky home needs on the road for a day, a week or even a month!

But what does that entail exactly?

This site is really nice, with level sites for RVs or tents, padded grass which is well maintained, nice gravel roads around camp and a river frontage with views which will make you just want to stop and take in the scenery.

When I visited I noticed a lot of people staying here near the weekend were visiting to launch their boats and troll the river fishing for what looked like some pretty large fish. It was pretty cool to see some of the people setting up their campground fish fry, and they were even friendly enough to invite me to join, though I don't eat fish so it didn't really work out that way.

The tent sites were shaded and had several different options, you could choose primitive which is only $17 or for a few dollars more you could have electricity. All sites come with a picnic table and fire ring and a pull in to keep you and your things closely together.

There was a playground and volleyball, but I didn't see anyone using these when I was there. A small camp store has a lot of the essentials in case your forgot something or just needed to pick up a snack. There was also firewood available, a big plus!!

This place is a bit older looking in appearance but it is charming and the owner is very cool. I didn't meet a single person there that wasn't just enjoying life.

TIPS:

  • If you are trying to check in the office has kind of strange hours. They are only open until 2 Sunday through Tuesday, not sure why but call in advance if you are running later than this time and want to check in.
  • Check their online event schedule! This campground host tailgating for UK so you can find a good tailgate party if you plan in advance, right at your campground!!
  • This is nearby the Bourbon Trail as well as so many other places where you will find activities. I was here to check out the Castle (I have attached a few photos) Can't miss this stop!!!
