This campground has been closed since Jan 09. The city of Louisville closed this park due to budget problems. Don't know when it will open again, possibly next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Came in during the Halloween festivities. Was very disappointed that I could not call in for reservations, so I had to bring my camper two days earlier than I had planned to reserve a spot only to find out I was too late to get an improved site, so I had to settle for a primitive site. The park was shaded with lots of trees. Sites are gravel, not level and muddy when raining. Due to the terrain, the park became water logged after a full day's rain. Terrain is somewhat hilly but not so to prevent bicycling. Has a nice playground, bicycle trails, and a sports field. No cell phone coverage. Camp hosts were not friendly perhaps cranky. The park itself needs freshening up--looks neglected. Bath rooms were clean and maintained although cold (no heat in October). On the positive side the staff work real hard to plan for the Halloween activities (went on for three weekends)which was a hit for the kids. The Halloween experience was something to remember. The parks staff performed well for the festivities. That reason in itself is enough for us to come back next Halloween, we just have to bring our camper four to five days ahead of the weekend in order to secure an improved spot. Considering the rate (covers six people) and the Halloween memories, it is still worth it. The park no longer has a pool for the summer, but will replace it with a small water park that may be in operation in July 07. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful campground, nice camphosts, very quiet. This is big park along the Ohio river and Otter Creek. Kids can play and go tubing in the creek. Stayed here while visiting Louisville. Only about 35 minutes from downtown. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is just OKAY. Sites were gravel, unlevel and tight. First come, first serve attitude. It is a Louisville City Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice shaded park with lots of trees. Sites are rather primitive, mostly gravel, and can be downright muddy at times. Some bright person decided it would be nice to place 4x4's in the ground at the corners to keep campers from running off in the grass. We saw several RVs scrape these posts trying to round the corners--they are way too tight. Campground hosts are rather cranky people, possible Gestapo, so be on your best behavior and you'll be fine. Forget cell phone service here--it won't work. Ours DID work if we stood on top of the picnic table and reached as high as we
could. The only problem was figuring out how to get that high to make a phone call. Guess you gotta have a long neck. We also stayed here in a cabin. Don't bother. They are total roach motels. They were decorated in the 60s. We camped here in a Motorhome.
