Enjoyed a week at this beautiful campground! Wonderful site at A4, accommodating our 40ft RV with plenty of shade and room to spread out. Very quiet spot right near the Camp Host--Rose and Pete were super hosts, answering all our questions and making sure we were happy during our stay. Counting our blessings for the kind help the hosts offered us during a personal dilemma on check-out day...very blessed! And can't leave out their furry, four-legged "welcome wagon" Moonshine. :) As for the cleanliness of the campground, just amazing! Volunteers are on board as well, making sure there are clean campsites, restrooms and showers! The grounds were monitored day and night by the hosts throughout our stay and we felt very safe. The area is very nice, lots of trees and good areas to walk or ride our bikes. Trails and creeks, the Ohio River...plenty of nature to observe nearby! The wildlife and birding opportunities are great! The camp was conveniently located near Fort Knox base where we were visiting our soldier. Less than 30 min away, Elizabethtown was bustling with countless restaurants and shopping areas. Visited the nearby Bernheim Forest and Arboretum which has beautiful scenery and trails upon trails leading you to the impressive giants living within. Plenty to do while camping here! Will definitely visit this campground again if the opportunity presents itself and highly recommend it to others.

Nice campground - had a quiet and peaceful stay at one of the primitive sites. Friendly hosts. Seems geared for families but still had a good stay as a solo traveler. Would have loved this place as a kid. Bathrooms could use an update, but definitely not the worst ha ha.

We went there camping and had a good time. The camp sites are really nice and plenty of trees. The showers are in good shape and for the section we were at, there were two close by. The only minor complaint would be that some of the individual camp sites could be marked a little better. We also went to Bernheim Forest which was about 30 minutes away and I recommend that also if you get a chance.

Took my family for their first camping trip this weekend. So many fun activities planned for the kids during the month of October. I was impressed with the friendly staff members and also how clean the bath houses were. Ms. Rose was wonderful and answered all my questions. We will be back!
