Not a hotel, but a campground. That being said. The campsites are oddly shaped. My 16 ft. Camper barely fit my site, whereas others next to it were almost 3 times the size. And they are also very close in proximity to each other. Depending on which area of the campground you book, determines how much space you have. It varies throughout the campground. However the people are friendly. But the maintenance crew doesn't maintain the campsites very well. The campsite fire pit next to mine was used as a trash bin and nobody came by to clean the site after the previous person had left.
My family visits this campground often and always talks about how nice it is, so I decided to vacation here as well. We stayed in Site 107 in the Annex campground at Kendall. The site was big and spacious with plenty of room between campers. All of the sites around me looked well kept and the area was very peaceful. Restrooms were kept clean during our stay and the showers had plenty of hot water.
Very disappointed. Today we checked out of Kendall COE campground in Jamestown Ky. We stayed at site 73, in the older section of campground. We read a lot of positive reviews and watched a video on our camp site that someone posted. I know everyone looks for something different when it comes to camping. We like a peaceful, private and clean place to camp. We didn't get any of this here. Before setting up our camper I walked over to the main restroom. I wasn't sure if this campground was for us or not after going in. There was toilet paper all over the floor and one of the showers had poop by the shower drain. Apparently there were questionable people staying there as well. The shower curtains were old and moldy. The whole building was outdated. The campsites are closer than what we like. Videos online looked better than actually being there. The people next to us had a dog (Leo), bad when we know it's name, that constantly yip-yapped every time you moved. The people would tell their dog to stop but it wouldn't stop and they would rarely take it in when barking. Kids were everywhere and there was a lot of noise until about 10pm. The best part of our stay was visiting the fish hatchery next door and eating at Big Daddy's, just outside the gate. They had really good food. Just wanted to inform you of our experience. We are now at Duckett COE in Gainesville, GA. It's exactly what we look for. Campsites are farther apart and very quiet. No shady people and a very clean campground!
Awesome campgrounds with trout fishing close. As bad as I want to post a 1 star so I can make sure I get camp sites, I will be honest, this is a nice campground.
We have been using this campground for the last 20 years and all been please with the campground but this passed few days has been terrible. Restrooms were filthy, poop all over the floor, no soap all weekend, toilets in men’s restroom was back up. Obviously nobody clean the restroom or check it regularly. Urininal did not flush. Cigarette butts on fire rings. This place is losing its good integrity and it’s a shame. Need to hire a better cleaners! This is not up to Kentucky State Parks standards.
