Ugh: if we're ever in the area again we'll be camping somewhere else. Precious few sites available with shade and those that exist will be occupied by long-term campers. The rest of it is a glorified parking lot. Very confusing layout that does not match the campground map. Paved sites are narrow and utility hookups are old and/or in need of repair/replacement. The sewer hookup was simply a hole in the ground being held open by a rusty pipe. The best thing I can say about this CG is the bathrooms/shower facilities were relatively new, housed in a pole building. It was clean but evidence of low-budget fixtures and construction was everywhere. Office staff was very polite and helpful when I called and when we checked in, but I should have known better when they said we didn't need reservations. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I would not camp here again. I camped here due to the Amusement Park being on the grounds. That was a joke, one roller coaster and a few twist and pukes. The waterpark was fun until the rain stated and ended our day. The campsites were packed in like sardines but there were not many people here. Each site was pull through but on the grass with dips and holes in most spots. There are no fire rings and no place to really put a fire. When it rained (and it was heavy rain) many of the spots were soaked as there was no drainage. The restrooms were clean but there was no mirror in the ladies room. This was just not what my impression of it was ahead of time. It would be good for smaller kids wanting to go to the amusement part, and a one night stay. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The pool is available in the amusement park for an added fee. There wasn't any hot water in the showers - maybe because of the flood damage a couple months before. We wish the addition to the water park would have been ready when we were there - it looks nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The most glaring complaint is the lack of reliable electrical power. During the week we were at the RV site, power was lost several time on three different days. We learned that in some cases 9 to 13 30 AMP services, were supplied by 200 AMP,fused drops. The last day (and the last straw) we lost power about 4:30 pm and still didn't have power at 8:00am the next day. The heat index that day had been 105, per the local radio station. When we ask about when the power would be returned we were told, "it wouldn't be that evening". I ask if they meant wouldn't or couldn't and was told "it wouldn't". This was from a person standing in an air conditioned office. In my opinion, there is a big difference between can't and won't. Other complaints include narrow sites, shared water (bring your own "Y"), grass not mowed, standing water after rain, (some areas ankle deep with no means of draining), dated sewer hook-ups, no cable, poor WiFi service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

All sites are side by side so you better know the people you will be sharing the less than 10 feet between sites. Limited 50amp is $10 more than 30 amp! Every site in the main area is a pull thru, no matter which direction you come in. This is basically an RV parking lot for people who come to the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Way too many sites. Very narrow pull throughs and sewer overloaded. We were on a low site and our sewer overflowed. One day visit to the water/amusement park, wouldn't stay any longer than that. Park is too expensive, rides are no better than a small county fair. Not worth the price just to ride one nice wooden coaster. Cigarette butts, bottle caps and trash all over the ground. Staff mowed while we were there and unplugged our camper for several hours during the day while we were in the park. Needless to say, it is very hot in July. Don't plan a long vacation here. Pick you site very closely and hope there isn't a rally going on, unless you are there for a rally and you'll be just fine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Roads to and in the campgrounds are narrow. Full hook up sites are mostly in full sun and are very narrow. Your neighbor's awning most likely will be touching your slide. If you can live without sewer hook-up, there are some pretty nice, wide shaded sites. As previously reported, lots of kids running unsupervised, not watching traffic, on bikes, 4-wheelers, golfcarts, etc. Campgrounds were clean and the staff friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have just arrived home from our camping weekend at this campground, this was our second camping experience with this campground, and it will be our last. Our biggest problem with this campground is that there are unsupervised kids and teens invading the campground on 4-wheelers, speeding through the campground at a very high rate of speed and putting my, and other, young children who are supervised at risk of being run over. I have never been to a campground where there are 4-wheelers even allowed, let alone 4-wheelers and atv’s under the operation of young inexperienced and apparently unsupervised kids. My son who is 10 was run off the road while riding his bicycle, by a 4-wheeler being driven by a child not much older than he was. My daughter who is 7 was riding her bike and swerved to avoid being hit by an ATV and fell down and busted her 2 front teeth out and had to be rushed to receive emergency care. We went to the front entrance and complained as did the campers that were all around us, we were all told that someone would be right out to deal with the 4-wheelers, yet no one was ever seen. This campground is the loudest and most unruly campground we have ever been to as there were several groups of teens running around the campground in small groups trying to pick fights with each other, yelling and throwing gang signs, yet nothing was ever done about this either, even though several of us complained. We normally go to the Bowling Green KOA, but this time we wanted to come back to Beech Bend to enjoy a long weekend and swim, and enjoy the amusement park, needles to say this did not happen. And we will return to KOA when we choose to camp in Bowling Green from now on. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Like others I expected a noisy place. A weekday night in the off season should be quiet, since it was pouring down rain everyone should be snug in their beds. Nope. Some individual was out puddle jumping in his atv at 11 pm to 1 am. Next day saw the atv...it was a 'workcamper'. Park isn't that bad. the sites are asphalt paved and there is grass. They are very narrow sites, but it's not intended to be a destination. VERY few 50 amp sites. Counting on the map we were given there shows fewer than 20 of those 300+ sites had 50amp. That would be an issue in summer. Yes the hookups are strange. They are set up so that pairs can face each other. The road could use some work and the registration building really could be a bit wider. This is about 8 miles off the freeway, about 3.5 of that on two lane twisty narrow roads, so plan for a daylight entrance. I wouldn't stay here in season or on a weekend ( raceway is part of this park ) but it's ok if Camping World is full. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are 70 and looking for a nice quiet place to spend the summer, keep looking. If you go through the roof every time a child walks through your campsite, keep driving. If you've got kids, especially if you have noisy kids, and you want to take them to an amusement park and camp nearby, this is the place. Chances are if you have children, you know children are noisy. Amusement parks and race tracks are noisy as well. The good news is that since the shade is scarce, you'll have to run the air conditioning, so you won't hear most of noise. It's a great park for what it is; a campground attatched to an amusement park. Expect children on all-terrain vehicles, golf carts, motorcycles, and bicycles. We had a great time. Beech Bend is one of the few privately owned amusement parks left anywhere. The amusement park is well maintained, and has some of the nicest staff anywhere. The best part is you can camp next door at their campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has a large number of items, drag strip, race track, amusement park, splash lagoon, and other items. Road from 31W to RV park is very small and 2-1/2 miles long. You will pass a Camping World on way to park. All roads and sites are blacktop with some pot holes. Sites were level in most cases. You have some trees to park under. Site hookup's are odd at best. Use care at time you pick a site due to hookup's. The gate house is a trick to pass thru due to a small opening, look at the damage from other RV people. Free WiFi will work if you are close to laundry room. In laundry room you have a phone line open 24/7 and a high speed cable to hook up your laptop. Bathrooms were some what clean but need a lot of repair work. Couple sites are on Barren River but sites were not very good. AC power was not a problem in April. The AC power boxes need to be updated due to old age. Water pressure was very low and it was hard to take a shower at times. Heat would be a problem here in summer months due to all the blacktop in park. Best part was the loud noise off the drag strip on Friday night and race track on Saturday night with the loud PA system. Week days were noise free. I do not think we will return to this park in future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this campground to stay in on our way home. We had no idea it was so far off the freeway. The road was narrow, but it worked. There weren't very many campers that night, but I wouldn't want to be there in summer with no trees and a parking lot atmosphere. It was OK and safe for one night. We won't stop here again.

This has got to be by far the worst campground we have ever stayed at! The sites were in a big parking lot, close, no shade and no covers on some of the sewer openings. We had people at 2am riding motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, and cart carts thur the park. The people beside us running their gray water out on the ground. Little kids riding 4-wheelers and motorcycles everywhere! When we contacted the park office they didn't seem to care. This morning when we were getting ready to leave we found a scratch in our truck door. I know it wasn't there when we arrived! We will definitely not go back there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped at Beech Bend for Memorial Day weekend. It was hot and the power was terrible. I was at the end of an electrical line, and the most power I could get at my rig was 90 volts. I had to either shut down AC, etc, or run the generator during the day. A friend of mine lost the circuit board on his fridge evidently due to the bad power situation. Lots of motorcycles, golf carts, four wheelers, etc. running around at all hours. One kid on a four wheeler nearly rammed the front end of my motorhome because he wasn't looking where he was going. We won't be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

HUGE park with amusement park and raceway. Labor Day weekend was pretty full with mostly families. Close together on paved pull through sites, but plenty of spread out room under the huge trees, but without pavement to park on. Grass site was perfectly level. Only drawback was LARGE numbers of children and adults riding various motorized vehicles up and down the paved roads. In fact, one little girl almost ran into the front of my motor home, on her bicycle, after I had stopped, because I knew she hadn't seen me. Very loud motorcycles, motorized scooters, three wheelers, four wheelers, dirt bikes,bicycles, scooters, skates. Hopefully it was because of the holiday weekend. I would return.

We happened to stop over here during the annual Harley rally during the first weekend of October. The motorcycle noise continued until 3:00-4:00AM. We also heard what could have been a gun shot during this miserable sleepless night. We left early and will not return. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Rate reflects KOA discount for the site that had a nice patio with furniture and fire chimney. There were a lot of overnight only guests this time of year, but there are a number of attractions to warrant a longer stay. While entrance and around office are paved, internal roads are gravel as are the sites. Some sites had visible garbage about, and this brought rating down. All services worked well, and voltage was steady good rate, but would prefer a water connection a little higher above the ground. Would stay again when next in area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent one night here. We had a very spacious site with concrete patio and wrought iron patio set. Although the campground backs up to the Interstate, if you are in the front half, the noise from the traffic is minimal and didn't bother us. Unfortunately, the cable was not working properly, we were able to pull in a number of local aver-the-air stations. Very convenient for visiting the National Corvette Museum and other interesting and historic places in and around the city. We'd definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The grounds are not well cared for. Weeds and tall grass that had obviously not been mowed for several weeks. The shower and restroom facilities were old, dirty, and in need of renovation. Linoleum tile glued to walls in men's room in a lazy attempt to cover the walls. The camp sites were level but not cared for. All the flower beds were full of weeds. The staff was borderline rude. The place seems to be run by "volunteers". The Putt-Putt and game room were old and in poor shape. This campground is barley above minimum standards. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Relatively nice KOA. Sites were rather close, but doable. Nice pull throughs, but a little tough to level as they were grass sites: some with ruts. Quiet once the person on the neighboring property ran out of fireworks. Shortly after dark they started shooting fireworks. At first it sounded like gun shots and we were afraid to go out and look. Came very close to calling the police. Finally things quieted down. Easy to get to and somewhat big rig friendly. Would probably stay here again. Staff very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were pleasantly surprised by this KOA. While it was somewhat run down and needed maintenance, it wasn't very crowded during the week and was quiet except for some interstate noise. The dog park was a nice break for our Schnauzers to enjoy. We stayed at a site designed for awing to awning camping with our neighbors. There was a huge concrete patio between the sites. Overall it wasn't bad and we would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Lots of nice mature trees shade this KOA. We didn't use the pool (smallish); we did use the very nice, fenced dog run area. A rural setting, but easily accessed from the interstate. There is a stream, currently used by Canadian geese and their babies. The geese do not wander though the RV sites. Sites are gravel, relatively level; some (at an extra charge) have concrete patios which are very nice. There are two bathhouses with three stalls and 3 private showers for each gender. Fine at this time of year, but I wonder if that is sufficient for high season. NOTE: The bathhouse is not wheelchair accessible, although they have a "Disabled" sign on the smallest of the toilet stalls. (Yes, really!) Facilities for the ladies were clean and bright, although a bit 'elderly'. My husband said the men's area was not as clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Made reservations 6 months in advance and was given worst sites in older section. Sloping site with grass/crushed rock pad with no patio. Promised park-wide wireless Internet and we were parked next to transmission tower; however, was unable to connect. Management advised but nothing done to correct problem. Had no cable TV until I twice reported problem. Cable provided junk stations with ABC, NBC and CBS omitted. Good water, electric and sewer. Appears owner more interested in profit than services.

While the park is definitely an older KOA park, this is still a comfortable place to camp. The park is very shaded and quiet. I found the park to be clean overall and the staff friendly. We did not use the pool, but in walking by it was clean and others certainly were enjoying the pool. The parking areas are gravel with large concrete patio areas. The showers/restrooms were clean, but a little dated. I used the showers and was very comfortable doing so. If anything at all was a draw back, the park is very dark at night and not comfortable walking after dark. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of the nicer campgrounds we've stayed at. Wide, level site with easy access. A bluegrass jam session on Thursday night made our stay even more enjoyable. Only negative is the narrow entry road with deep ditches on either side. The campground is on a very busy single lane road and, to avoid "hitting the ditch" you have to take up both lanes of the busy road when leaving. There's lots of evidence that others have scraped bottom when leaving. Overall a very nice campground with very helpful staff and a good level of services. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here 2 nights. One of the selection criteria was WiFi access. When I arrived, I could access the WiFi Access Point, but did not get an IP address. After the technician arrived, I got an IP address and could access the internet from the laundry. Later, back in the coach, I tried WiFi several times. This was a painfully slow process. Link speed was 1 Mbps, but actual speed must have been much slower since many web sites timed out and failed to respond. I consider WiFi access as not-acceptable and unusable. The park was only about 20% full, so it should not have been a result of too many people accessing the access point at the same time. Bathrooms were dated, but clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice campground, there were both shaded sites and sites in the open areas. The staff was friendly. We stayed here two nights. The fenced in pet play area was nice. The only thing I did NOT like about the campground was the bathrooms. I would say they were kept clean, but very old looking. I was not sure if the tiles on the floor were red or white. The door did not stay closed, so this let in all the bugs and spiders. There were several huge flies in there. The showers were awful. Shower stalls were small - the small stool in there made it hard to open the door. There was no adjustment for water temperature. You had to turn a timer knob in the dressing area of the shower stall, and the water just came out of the shower head. No adjustments for flow rate or temperature and the water was boiling hot. I had to soap up in the changing part then quickly wash the soap off because the water temp was just too hot to stand under continuously. If the campground can re-adjust the door and make it closing with a latch and fix the showers and perhaps repaint the bathrooms - this would be a great campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park needs site repairs on the big rig area sites. Most of the park is used by small RV's, and so the attention is given accordingly. The rear pull throughs are old, unlevel gravel sites. The weeds have been avoided and it is covering the sites and the roads in this area. No Wi-Fi. The rear portion of the park is quiet and the staff is friendly. A lot of kid activities.

We used this campground as an overnight stop on our way from Chicago to Florida. When we arrived and plugged in on this very hot day, my meter noted low voltage. About 15 minutes later, the electric in our section of the park went out. Apparently a transformer blew. We quickly checked our IPhones to find another park. But, I must give the county credit, they arrived and changed the transformer in less than 1 hour. The voltage, while slightly higher, never did reach an acceptable level. Since it was hot, we used the air conditioning and hoped for the best. The showers were clean but very small. Overall, I would rate this park as average and suitable for an overnight stop.

This campground was a real treat to stay at! The way we were treated, it was like staying at a very costly resort park. First, the staff was extremely customer centered. The check-in process was quick, friendly, and efficient. The sites were clean, well manicured, and ours had a very nice concrete patio area with s small manicured flowerbed. The bath and shower house was very clean. I'd stay here again ANY DAY! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price is for a pull through site with furnished concrete patio including VK discount. Extremely nice owners have added lots of extras to make this a great park. As previously reported, there are paddle boats, miniature golf, giant outdoor chess set, a tremendous off leash area for dogs and rides on an all-terrain type vehicle. We were in a premium site and unable to reach the satellite for branches, but campground provided a good cable TV selection. A little more attention could have been paid to trimming some low branches and mowing, but we enjoyed the park and would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were surprised that the park was not fully functional considering next weekend is Memorial Day. The pool was empty, the mini-golf course was covered with leaves and only one paddle boat was in operation. The lake looked real nasty. The pool is scheduled to be open on Friday. We just stopped for an overnight stay and had a site in the back that cost $36. This is really more that I want to pay for one night but there were no other options.

Nice park. Dog park was large and taken care of. Lots of grassy areas for walking dog. Next to interstate which can be noisy at times. What we didn't expect was the interstate road expansion construction located right next to the pull through sites. Was woken up at 6:30 in the morning by trucks, their back up beepers on the trucks and construction noise. This also kicked up lots of dirt and dust that got everywhere. Left after one night, even though paid for two because construction noise went on all day long. Would stay here again once construction is complete. Call first about construction before booking. Rate reflects KOA value card discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had my daughter's 6th birthday party here and it was wonderful. We rented the convention center with a full kitchen, karaoke machine, projection screen, and disco lights. They also have putt-putt, a playground, large chess set, bike rentals, paddleboat rentals, hydrotrek rides, and fishing. The owners are wonderful and they went out of their way to make the day special for my daughter even though it rained over 6 inches in two days. Swimming pool will be nice in the summer.

It rained all the time and the campground was very muddy and rutty. They need a lot more gravel on those sites that are not cement. The owners are very nice and friendly. The bathrooms at the front of campground were nicer than those in the back. My BIGGEST complaint is that during the night someone siphoned a great deal of fuel out of our truck- more than a half of tank. As a result we will NEVER stay there again.

I stayed here two weekends in a row as part of two shakedown trips in my new rig. The first time, I had a very wooded shady spot with a gravel pad, dirt yard or patio, a picnic table and no fire ring. The branches from the trees were pretty low, however the new owner came to my site before I even contacted him to trim the trees. He was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The site was level and roomy, cable perfect, however no wifi at this spot. The second weekend, I had site S604, clearly the best site in the place. It was wonderful. No campers on our "front" side, just a big beautiful tree and a yard. The patio was sealed concrete with a wrought iron table and 4 chairs, fire pit, and a grill. The cable was snowy, and the Wi-Fi wasn't strong enough to pick up. I could have stayed for a week easily! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Spent a miserable week here in April. The campground appears lovely but was without water most of the week. Water would return sporadically without warning. If we had not used a pressure valve to monitor our hook up we would have serious problems. Internet was hopeless. Owner's wife called to tell us that they would be refunding two days worth of fees and sending a certificate good for a free future week. Neither happened and in a later discussion with owner he told us that he did not intend to honor that promise. If they weren't going to follow through - why make the offer? Definitely not up to the standards we have come to expect from KOA. There are many nice campgrounds in the area, be kind to yourself and stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Following the directions we thought this would be a quiet campground in the country; not true because the road turns back and the campground backs up to I-65. We were on row L; the sites were level and long but we couldn't understand why there were speed bumps along the road going to those sites; there are many trees but the friendly office personnel seem to know the best spot for each camper. Wi-Fi worked great as did the cable TV. Campground is convenient to see attractions in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campsite with patio and chiminea is very nice, conveniently located to the pool. Front office staff was very helpful and friendly. This place is over-priced. The pool needs maintenance and cleaning. The water was not clear, had bugs, leaves and a bandaid floating round in it. The stairs into the pool need to be secured and the abandoned toys around the pool picked up. The cover for the filter was missing which is dangerous. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This KOA offers a lot of activities for families including swimming, mini-golf, fishing, horse-shoes, playground and a really cool life-size chess set. The people running the park are very friendly but unfortunately not very helpful. We reserved a site by the pool with a patio 6 months ahead of time, and after registering we found someone in our site - the people managing the park spoke with them but didn't move them. We were moved to a gravel site where it was not possible to get level. They did apologize and refund our money but never did fix the problem. The pool is not maintained well enough, and we wouldn't swim in it. The garbage area isn't cleaned very often, and the dumpsters regularly overflow so garbage is strewn around the area. We also could not use our picnic table; the design of the sites in this park places your picnic table within 3 feet of your neighbors sewer connection. We will skip this park and move on next time.

This is a very nice, family friendly KOA. There is a lot to do for the kids (swimming, fishing lake, pedal boats, mini-golf, horseshoes, playground, outdoor chess set). It's very close to the National Corvette Museum and the GM assembly plant. Also close to Lost River Cave (recommend doing) and Mammoth Caves (a day or two there). Shopping is close by (Lowes, Kohl's, Wal-Mart, etc). The sites in the F300 section were VERY nice with gravel drives, decorated concrete patios (very large), wrought iron table and chairs, as well as picnic table, bench and fireplace. LOTS of shade in these sites also and they're all pull through. They are close to the office, swimming pool and playground. There were 4 washers and 4 dryers. $1.50/$1.00. We had such a relaxing good time here, we extended our stay twice. It would be a 10 if they took a little better care of the pool. It wasn't anything to keep us out of it, but with the number of people using it, I would have liked to see them clean/treat it more often. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not bad; an older KOA trying to upgrade to accommodate bigger rigs. Construction projects were noticeably apparent. Being early in the season, park was not crowded. We requested one of the 4 newer FHU sites on higher ground, a longer gravel pull-thru; patio had wrought-iron picnic table, BBQ grill on stand, & portable fire pit. Sparse trees did not block satellite signal, & Verizon Broadband accessed Wi-Fi. Good for a couple of days. Price reflects 10% KOA discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There was a pool but was not open during our stay. The roads are dirt/gravel. Sites are tight and ours was more dirt than grass.

This is one of the best KOA's where we have stayed. The sites were large and ours was a pull-thru with free Wi-Fi, and cable. The registration office was closed when we arrived, but having made reservations online there was a map with our name and site number waiting. It is very convenient to I-65 and there are many restaurants and gas stations close by. The area for walking dogs was adequate, many activities including pay fishing lake and paddle boats. The campground was far from busy, so during peak season, it might seem somewhat crowded, but not if you were in one of the 85 ft. pull thru sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Real nice KOA. We stayed here over Memorial day weekend 2007. The campground was at capacity. The online description of my site said it was appropriate for a van or popup, but the campground hosts assured me my 5th wheel would fit into the site. They were right. It was a pull through site with full hook-ups at least 60 feet long. I don't know why the online description would suggest it for a van or pop up. I did see a couple rows of sites that were pretty small and set aside for tents or pop ups, but probably 70 percent of their sites are pull-through and could accommodate any size RV. They had mini-golf, paddle boats, fishing, outdoor movie theater, and a swimming pool. I was camping with three nine-year-old girls, so the noise from the highway was not an issue for me. One of the nicest KOAs we have stayed at. The campground is really close to the Lost River underground boat tours, Corvette Museum, and about 15 minutes to Beech Bend Park. I'm guessing about 30-40 minutes to Cave City or Mammoth Cave, but I didn't drive it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is good and bad. The host are nice and friendly. The campground is large. Some sites are great. A few sites are concrete pad with wrought iron patio furniture on a concrete area at the site, others are gravel with only water, electric and sewer and the ones further back are gravel with water electric only. Has miniature golf course, fishing, pool and playground. Part of the park roads are asphalt, pea gravel and chico stone. Would be nicer if all the roads were paved. WiFi is good up by the office, but poor to none in the back sites. Water at my site did not taste good. We drank bottled water. Cable TV was great in our site. We have stayed at a number of KOA’s and this could be a great camp ground if the sites were improved overall. We would stay here again but it is not one of our favorites.

This is the campground we consider our "home campground" as it is only about 25 miles from home. We could not ask for a better place for our most frequent camping experiences. The good far out wieghs the bad here. There are what look like a few long term campers here, and this is a bit of an eyesore, but overall this campground is clean and very well maintained with abundant trees and shade at most of the sites. The newer sites in the back are out in the wide open with no trees and the road back there is gravel, which we really don't like. It does not appear that there are a lot of locals that camp here as most people think of KOA as a place to stop while traveling, but we love it. When we were there in March it was a bit of a bore as they don't open the pool and most of the activities don't get going until Memorial Day. The climate in the Ky and Tn area is certainly accommodating to opening the pools and starting the weekend activities much earlier than they do. I would recommend this campground to anyone as it will certainly change your stereotypical view of a KOA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We actually stayed at this campground twice during a round trip cross country drive. Each time we found this campground to be charming. The campground is located within Bowling Green and near numerous restaurants and the mall, yet, it has maintained a rural atmosphere. Numerous trees and ponds surround the property, insulating it from most of the outside world. Traffic noise can be heard only at a low level. Current construction on the highway does mean that the occasional backup signal might pierce the morning air, but this will probably be over soon. This campground also has one of the nicest and difficult miniature golf courses I have come across, I highly recommend it. The Corvette Museum and Corvette Plant are located about 10 minutes away, Mammoth Cave is closer to 30 minutes. We found the the location to be perfect for exploring the area and recommend it highly.

I stayed here over a long weekend and really enjoyed the campground despite the rain and mud. This really is a decent campground and pretty good for a KOA. I stayed in one of the deluxe sites that included a cable connection and had decent wi-fi access. The site was level but was a bit narrow and difficult to get into for my 35' trailer. There was a tree on the street side and a poorly placed, permanent cement picnic bench curbside. I didn't use the bathroom or the shower, but I checked and they were very clean. This park is in an excellent location for some of the great shopping and dining in Bowling Green. There are good dog walking areas on the frisbee golf course and I could even let him off leash because there were so few people staying in the park. The staff was very friendly but be warned that they have limited hours during winter months. They are 7-9:30 am and 4-6 pm. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
