Older park, but well taken care of . Beautiful overlook site. Large shade trees. On top of hill.Bathhouse and restrooms clean, staff helpful and friendly. Will stay here again! Within minutes of attractions, Mammouth Cave, etc. Nothing fancy, but relaxing and peaceful, pets very welcome! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites are all pull-thrus and are long and level. The cable TV offered for $1.50 extra is excellent and the reception was very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. You get escorted to your site. The park is well manicured and clean. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very clean and comfortable place to stay. The sites are long and level, and the utilities are conveniently located and lit at night. The showers and bathroom are cleaner than any other park we have ever seen! They offer Cable TV for an additional fee ($1.50) and, while it does offer many channels, the picture quality is very poor (very snowy). We stayed here in winter and the water lines were well protected in the freezing weather. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for five nights while my husband completed an assignment at Mammoth Cave National Park. The campground is small but immaculate, and thoughtfully landscaped. The sites are gravel with easy pull-thru access, and the owners are very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again if we're in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a good park. Located close to Mammoth Cave. Easy access and gravel road and sites. Modern hook-ups, no shade or trees, looks like it was just landscaped will look nice when trees get bigger. Staff was helpful. It was not very crowded, but it was cold. Wireless internet was good. Sites also had picnic tables. We stayed 2 nights and have no complaints. Also had a Good Sams special for $9.95 instead of $19.95 if you signed up with through them...of course I signed up. I would stay at this park again. No frills but nice. They had a pavillion with picnic tables and campfire ring. I would recommend this park to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is new and very clean. All advertised services work great. BUT if you have a problem with highway noise or train noise, this is not the place for you. WiFi works great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Staff was very friendly, and helpful as to things to see and do in the area. The site was gravel but level. Overall, the park was spotless. We will definitely stay here every time we pass through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owners will knock their socks off for you. New, clean and neat, no trees, big spaces and good hookups. Close to the freeway for access north and south. A good Mexican joint nearby. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new park only 1/2 mile off I-65. If you are looking for true 50amp, easy pull-throughs and a friendly staff, this is the park for you. The owner is very knowledgable about the surrounding areas as well. Though there are no trees and no pool, we will stay here again whether passing through the area or staying for some time. It's small, so during season you will want to call ahead. Great park if you are not traveling with children as there are no amenities for little ones. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is a nice place to stop for an overnight. It is truly "big rig friendly", but it lacks kid friendly activity. No pool, no playground. The spaces are tight, there is a common "fire pit" and covered area for a group to meet, but no fire rings at the sites. The park is very new, so the trees are still saplings. There is a very active rail line along the back of the park, trains run about every twenty-two minutes, but the only time I heard a train whistle was when the deer were on the tracks. This seems to be a common activity in the early morning and early evening. WiFi is pretty consistent since the park is small, but the park admin do not know anything about how it works. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park was well maintained. Staff was pleasant and extremely helpful. While there were lots of trains, they did not bother us. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very convenient to exit 53 on I-65 in KY. Level, reasonably wide, sites with good voltage and water pressure. Friendly owner. Train tracks are very close to campground, and lots of trains during the day & night. Would return for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The grounds, bathrooms, laundry were pristine. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The RV Park is conveniently located to Mammoth Cave and many other attractions. There is a train and highway nearby but they did not bother us. I would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
New park with modern laundry room. Every thing very clean. Great access to Mammoth Cave NP. One word of caution on the Wi-fi here, there is something fishy in their setup. I did mention it to an owner but he seemed indifferent. Do not access any financial sites or sites that you do not want someone else seeing. If your PC is setup correctly you will see a popup box warning you about the 'security certificate ...'. This is what you see on TV news programs warning you on having your personnel information stolen. Beware. Other than that the Wi-fi worked fine and I would return. We camped here in a Motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great place to stay if visiting the Mammoth Cave area. Everything is brand new and works well. Wifi is free, Cable is a small additional fee (but includes HBO). Sites are reasonable, and angled so the views are of neighboring fields rather than neighboring RVs. Very friendly and helpful staff, giving advice and brochures on where to go and what to do. The only negative is the trains that go by. They're reasonably far from the sites, but not quiet either. If that won't bother you, then by all means this is a great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Conveniently located. Very clean rest rooms and showers. New park and well landscaped. Recommend this park for visiting the caves in area. Had good pull thru with room for slides. Had good wifi also. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice a convenient park to Cave City. Not much for kids to do, but if you're looking for a nice, clean place to stay, this is it. Cable hookup/wifi available. This park is brand new, so there's not much grass yet and the trees are very small. Still, the best RV park in the Cave City area, hands down. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Brand new RV park right off I-65 at Mammoth Cave/Cave City Exit 53. Big sites with full hookups. It was easy to get in and out of our site as all sites were pull thrus. Very clean, modern facility. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground has some good attractions for children however the sites could be leveled and the sites could also been a little better kept. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is a good site if you are exploring the caves however not the best campsite to stay on property for your weekend or vacation. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Facilities are in pretty rough shape. Our site didn't have grass, only dirt. Frankly, the only reason to stay here during the fall is for the kid's activities on the weekends, otherwise I'm sure there are better campgrounds. The game room is top notch. The Halloween weekends during October are second to none. This was our third trip for the Halloween weekends, and we had a blast again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is poorly kept. Grass is not cut and sites are not level. There is absolutely no adherence to any rules. Golf Carts are rented to anyone and kids drive them wildly at night. Quiet hours are not enforced. We were kept up all night and woken up at 6:30 am by campers who had no courtesy. We could not wait to get out of the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Gravel roads, park looks old and in need of a little attention, but overall the kids had a blast. Nice playground and pool. Some activities throughout the day. Campground is very large so make sure you request a site near the pool/playground. We made our reservations 5 months in advance, even had a site#, but the site was given away when we arrived...ended up with a nice spot though, it was a lot of hassle after a long drive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We hate the golf carts that all of the Jellystone Parks rent. They drive too fast, are too noisy, and create too much dust. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was the most over priced RV Park we have ever stayed at. The sites had gravel RV pads that were horribly un-level. The landscape was dismal, and there was almost no shade. I noticed a dozen or more trees throughout the park with no leaves on them, and we were there in Mid July. The utilities were in OK shape but were terribly positioned in relationship to my RV. I had to almost park the rear of my rig in the road so my sewer hose with extension would reach the sewer drop. The restrooms were clean, but no AC. There were 2 rest room buildings in the RV park, but in one of the buildings the men’s room was closed, out of order, the entire time we were there. In the only open men’s room in the park area, one of the 3 toilets was out of order the entire time we were there. The pool was large and very nice, but was always crowded. The park welcomed (for a fee) day visitors to use the water activities. The water slide was a big hit for my kids, but it cost an additional $6 per day, per kid, even though we were paying almost $45 per night. I would not recommend this park, and will not return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Simply overpriced. There is no comparison of the playground equipment to that of KY Horse Park. Neither are the sites. At $42 they should spend some money on maintenance. Much better price at a new constructed park on the other side of I-65. Its to new to be listed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a really nice park. We really love the Jellystone franchise and try to stay in one of their park whenever we can. This park did not disappoint. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Stayed here while visiting Mammoth Cave. Staff was very helpful as we were a late arrival on Thursday night. Sites were long enough for our 30' trailer and crew cab truck. I would recommend a pull through if you have a longer rig. Sewer and electric were placed well on site we had. Staff seemed very friendly and camp-store/lodge was stocked well considering how early in season it was. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great place to camp with the kids. Staff is very friendly and there was a lot to do. This is not a camp ground where you can really bring the bicycle as the topography is quite steep in places which makes it difficult to ride bikes. We really like the sites at the top of the hill near the store and pool area, the back section has gravel roads and sites which creates a lot of dust. We will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a good time with our kids and their friends. No problems checking in. Staff was very friendly. Camp grounds are a little run down; roads are rough. Heard that the camp ground is under new management, seeing efforts to improve the operation but have a ways to go. Camp sites are not level. Our site was not close to being level. We had to use every leveling apparatus for the front and the trailer axles yet were still not level by a long shot so had to make do. The terrain was extremely hilly, not safe for kids to ride bicycles. Maneuverability was difficult but manageable entering the campsite and leaving. We were at the lowest part of the camp ground so driving up the hill was a small challenge when leaving and dumping (also at the lowest part of the camp ground). There were many planned activities for the kids that kept them busy day and night. They had a large pool, a kiddie pool, large slide (they charged $6.00 per person per day two days max—that is a lot for five kids), three nice playgrounds, putt putt golf, and basketball. Most camp sites were semi-shaded. Went to two bath houses of which both found acceptable. Biting bugs were a nuisance in the evening but not unmanageable. Daily rate included party of seven, water and electric. Rate is acceptable considering the effort in keeping the kids busy with planned activities. Can not level the camp ground but improvements on the road, efforts to level the camp sites and perhaps either take down the slide or charge a lot less will go a long ways making the camp ground highly recommended for the money. We camped here in a Travel Trailer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I really feel sorry for the new owners of this park, because they have a nightmare on their hands! This was the worst campground we have ever been to, and we have been to hundreds of campgrounds. The only things positive I have to say are that the staff was very nice and I can tell they are trying to make improvements. Where to begin - 1. Horrible sites - uneven, dirty, and when it rained, we were a half foot under water! 2. Disgusting bathrooms! 3. Horrible playground. 4. The water slide (which is an extra cost) kept breaking down. 5. Maneuverability was difficult for larger trailers/RVs. 6. They advertised things they do not have. 7. Just an overall messy campground. Unfortunately there are not a lot a great campgrounds surrounding Mammoth Cave NP. I would rather stay in the National Park without water and sewage than stay here again! We travel in a travel trailer and have 2 small children. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a really good time here over Halloween with our 8 year old daughter. The camp is a little run down. The roads are rough and washed out. Most of the camp sites are not level. Some are not even close to level. That is however, the sort of thing an adult would notice. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. My daughter had a marvelous time. There were numerous activities, some were geared for younger kids, and some for older (karaoke). We will probably return here next halloween just for the activities offered for children, but not for the facilities. They are offering WiFi internet now, but our campsite was deep in a pit, and I could not get a strong enough signal to stay online. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great for kids, not for adults. Very uneaven gravel pull thrus. We tried 4 spots before finding one that we could level up our 38 foot MH. It looked like it has some really great cabins, but they were expensive, just like the RV sites. We thought we could probably stay in a local hotel for just about the same cost. Next time we go to Mammoth, we will find another place to stay. The campground has so much potential, I just hope that the owners level up the sites, add more gravel and make the roads in the park more user friendly for large rigs. Like I said, kids will love this place, lots of things for them to do, but adults with large rigs, beware!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place for children. They have activities plannned from sun up to sun down. My son LOVES this place. Close the state park and other activities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A good facility with a lot of shaded sites. I would have rated it higher if it weren't for the outrageously high price. They wanted to charge me another $2 for air conditioning. The pig was a little scary. Apparently it roams the park as a campground pet. Wasn't too keen about meeting it face to face and nose to nose unexpectedly while hooking up the sewer hose. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park showing it's age. Comfort stations clean , reasonable shape , but dated. C/S are
also not air conditioned. Large shaded sites, campfires allowed. Rates are a little on the high side , but inline with other Jellystone Parks . They do charge extra if your MH has a/c. My biggest complaint , pool open to day campers. Bus load arrived from local church camp , taking over pool , making it impossible to enjoy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is great if you have children. I have a 6 year old son, who loved the 350ft
waterslide, tan they have children planned activities form 9am until 9pm. They also have a great diner on the property along with a petting zoo, fishing
lake and wonderful plyaground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Lots for children but for a couple, forget it. You are paying for lots of stuff you won't even look at. Worst, the owner was obsessed with not spending money for camper comfort. Showers were cold and they would not turn up water heaters. No soap in bathrooms and worst of all smoking was allowed in office and tv lounge as well as other areas. This is not family friendly in that respect. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very nice park. they had many acttivities for our kids with an organized recreation program. The restrooms were cleaned several times a day and in very good condition. some sites not level, but most can manage without too many problems. Very roomy sites. They have an excellent recreatiion program that keeps the kids busy most of the day. They have Karaoke on Saturday nights which the kids really loved. we had a very pleasing experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you've got young kids, they'll love it. But for the rest of use, stay away. First, the place is very run down, especially the so-called attractions such as their miniture golf course. The sites are mostly not level also, but they are spacious. My biggest problem was the noise. The Friday we were there they had a teen dance at the shelter that went on untill 11PM. The next night it was karoke untill 11. The worst was the bathrooms which were so filthy that the last day we packed and left without bathing. If you've got young kids, (3 to 12 years old) they'll have a nice time, but as a parent your going to suffer. We camped here in a camper.
As mentioned in previous posts, the new owners are trying very hard to improve this park. Literally tons of new rock has been put in. Biggest problem I see for this park is the entrance coming off the road. It is very narrow with a sizeable ditch on each side of the culvert. I would not want to enter this campground after dark. We camped here in a 40 foot motorhome so it shouldn't be as scary for smaller rigs. Once inside the park there is sufficient room for big rigs. It is very near Mammoth Cave National Park (2.5miles) which is why we came here. Our rate is based upon our Passport America membership. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice clean campground. The new owners are working hard to make it a better place. They are also very friendly and want to help make your stay more enjoyable. The small fish pond had just been stocked. Some of the sites are not real level so this can present a challenge. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Owners very friendly. Raining when we arrived, and the owner came out and told us to go ahead to our site and come back when the rain stop. Big pull through sites. easy to maneuver around the campground. easy access from I-65. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passport America rate. Washrooms were closed for the season. OK spot for overnighting. We have a 38ft fifth wheel and it just fit in the spot but we didn't have any trouble getting in or out. Very nice elderly lady greeted us. Had no problem with setting up our satellite internet. Campground does need some work-broken tables, leaky water taps but the price was good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good location for the area, but limited number of sites. There are not enough sewer sites available, and it's a little pricey, but okay if you're passing through and need a place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here off-season at the end of November, 2005. The campground was nearly empty, very well maintained and quiet. Water, electric and sewer available. Getting past the registration area and into the campground was a little tight, but interior roads were fine. Campground is close to Mammoth Cave NP. Owner was friendly and helpful, providing good information on the local attractions. This is a Passport America park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Passport America campground. Three miles to Mammoth Cave N.P. entrance and about 10 minutes away from the visitor center. Owned and manged by a very sweet elderly couple. Not much to look at from the road, old signs, dirt road, but the sites look over a pastoral field. Set back from the road so it's very quiet. Has a small stocked pond and a small pool with basketball hoop - great for kids, too small for adults. It's no 5 star resort but for $16 and full hook-ups this close to the National Park, it's a deal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Poor, poor and poor, Their ad reads, pull-thrus If you are a Motorhome contortionist, big rigs is a joke, dump station not working properly & clean, 30/50amps only 30amp working and had to use extension cord to reach, tables broken, grill, would not use in my dreams, rec room/shower and bath dirty not clean is an understatement. Campground not clean, management rude, uncaring and tried to not honor discounts or try to gouge for more money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
