Campsites are spacious and private. We stayed at 3, which had a paved pad, tent area and picnic table. Shady and the creek runs right past the site. Saw a wild turkey rummaging in the bushes.
High altitude so beware if you are coming from sea level. Drive up to Mount Wheeler goes to 10,000’ with spectacular views. Cave tour was also a must.
No dogs on hiking trails.
A respite from summer heat and crowds.
Very nice stop on our road trip. Spots are gravel, level and easy to access. Showers clean and nicely fitted out. Grass and trees kept the site cool even in high heat. Quiet and other campers were considerate.
Definitely a great respite from a long day on the road!
Beautiful setting in old growth timber. Freeway is literally adjacent, so entire campground is road noise. Some spots are directly looking over the freeway (A06) so try to get ones further west. The bathrooms are clean and there are a few short hiking trails. Maybe good for an overnight or if you plan to go elsewhere during the day. But not a place to spend much time.
Good spot for an overnight. There is a park and lots of trails. Clean facility, store and nice paved spots…picnic table on pavement. Rules here make it quite nice…doesn’t look like tons of permanent campers.
Spots are pretty tightly packed, but the maintenance makes up for the proximity. Everything is very clean.
Only downside is the train and airplane noise. Otherwise would be a 5 star for me.
Surrounded by rivers and open green fields. Very nicely maintained. Lots of campers even this early in the season! Looks like kids and fishing folk would be in heaven. What a great introduction to our first time in Kentucky.
Pay attention to the website directions. GPS took us on a long detour.
Highly recommend.
Site was accessible, and we could get into the bathhouse. The cabins and picnic facilities look to be first class. Water and power worked.
But there isn’t a soul on site, and we didn’t get a confirmation email as was promised by the reservation system. No wifi at all. No maps to let us know the property boundaries. There is a lot of junk laying outside the locked buildings.
The site is near the freeway, and you can hear the road noise.
I’d skip this site out of tourist season.
This is obviously an active summer vacation spot. In March, on a weekend, we had the place to ourselves and it was gorgeous. Lakeside spot, snow flurries, quiet except for the woodpeckers. It is a bit of a drive from the freeway, but worth the effort. Cell service is very weak, but the wifi worked for us. Showers closed but vault toilets available. They did have a mandatory two night stay, which they should reconsider for this time of year. Make sure you ask for a level spot if you are in a shorty van…some are quite steep. For anyone who likes a private spot in nature for an overnight, I recommend.
Nice overnight stay during winter. Showers are spacious, with personal locking door and hot hot water. Beautiful walk with trees and lakes, even in the rain. There may be some full timers, but not in our area. Check in was easy and the on-site staff are very friendly.
Lovely hiking on the site. Very friendly staff. Clean, well serviced. Far enough from freeway so you feel like you are really camping, but very convenient. So glad they are open during the winter.
Easy off the freeway and open in winter. Some trash and dog poo marred the experience of the grounds.
We checked in later in the evening and the self registration was a snap. The spaces are large and well lit. For a first-timer at an RV park, we had no trouble finding the spot and getting connected. Clean facilities. Our site at the end of the row has a lovely view to the west.
