Louisville State Recreation Area
Reviewed Aug. 21, 2023

Great for photos, bad for camping

The place is amazingly scenic and reasonably priced. But I've been camping in different campgrounds all over the US for the last 2 months and this is one of my top 3 for mosquitoes. Those things are relentless and not at all scared by deet. The only thing that surpassed them is the poison ivy that grows everywhere.

The place is wide open without privacy. Well-kept, clean and friendly.

But there's a train going right past our campsite. I had no idea trains can be this long when going through the plains with several engines front and back. If you wait for it to pass, your dinner will be cold.

And I don't know what industry is east of here. But it's 10pm and they're still running LOUD!
