The park has both pull-through sites and back-ins. The good news on the pull-through locations: They are long! The bad news on the pull-throughs: Although paved, they are not level. In fact, the slots are very much "humped" in a small hill. I had to move five times before I found one that did not stress out my hydraulic levelers. Further, the pull-through sites have only partial shade. The back-ins are more shady and appear fairly level, but will only accommodate small (30 foot or less) RV's. The rate I am showing reflects a AAA Motor Club discount (which I was surprised the park accepts!). The full rates are $19 for weekdays, $21 for weekends. I was surprised to find that this state park has laundry machines. I believe this is unusual for a state park. However, the laundry machines were outside under a cover that could be pulled down when they are not in use, so the laundry facilities were a little dirty. Restrooms were so so, I would wear shower shoes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is quite old and has not been updated since we were here 25 years ago. The area is great with lots of activities for kids and with beach and marina nearby. The bathhouses were in deplorable condition and did not appear to have been cleaned in several days. Fire rings had ashes from previous occupants as well as lots of trash, cigarette butts, and beer bottle caps. If you are going to stay in this area, I would recommend the COE campground at Narrows. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very pretty area, but the campground itself needs a lot of work. There was a lot of trash in the restrooms, and no rangers around except on the week-end. The camp sites are not level, and that is an understatement. The campground is on a very hilly area along a man-made lake, and the sites are all humped in the middle. I needed about 5 leveling blocks under the rear stabilizers when fully extended to reach the pavement and we were on one of the more "flat" sites! Also, the water taps were between sites and even though ours was on the street side of the trailer I still needed 50' of hose to reach our trailer. The location is handy to Mammoth Caves, though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
