Great stopover. The owners couldn't be friendlier. The pull-throughs do overlook a parking lot but they're very level and have a very nice view of the sunset. The free Wi-Fi is excellent as is the satellite reception. Wi-Fi is free, but don't forget to get the password from the office. Note: My Garmin navigator has the park on the left but it's actually on the right. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We could not ask for more help and a friendly welcome to the park. The rating is qualified due to close proximity to I-24, however, this is part of the appeal of the park. This park is recommended for a short stay or overnight. The park included some obvious long term renters, but well maintained and not junky. The pool was closed but appeared to be a good quality facility.We would return to the park only for overnight but recommend to all under these circumstances. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a much improved park sense the last time we stayed here a few years ago. Sites and roads are gravel with the sites fairly close together. The restrooms/showers were very clean. We would use this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground looks to be a converted graveled lot. There is some grass growing up in the gravel. There are several residents sprinkled throughout the park. The owners are making some improvements so maybe it will look better in the future. I would use it again only as a last resort. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly hosts- they waited up for us with a late check-in due to a flat tire at beginning of day. Unfortunately, due to being so late, we essentially pulled in, slept, and left the next morning. So, I cannot tell much about the facilities. What I saw seemed nice, and as I said the hosts were very kind. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pretty tight but it works. Hiway is very close and busy. Buggy. Nice amenities and escort to site is nice. Doggy bags posted are handy. Small pool but nice, closes at 8 pm. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground was disappointing. The registration was easy, the campground is well located near the Interstate and restaurants. The entrance has flowers and is appealing. If you are traveling through for one night you are escorted to a large gravel area with a view of a used car lot. The sites are level. I specifically asked for wifi and was told it was at every site. I could not get it for longer than five minutes at a time, with only two bars. I finally gave up and went to the office and sat outside. There was no signal at all. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The first night we were here we were guided to our spot. We decided to stay another night and there was no record of us having paid or registering. Seems the attendant didn't report it. The bathrooms were spotless and nice but other than that, this is a place I would only use again if I had to. When we paid the second day we could barely hear the clerk over the TV and she was so busy watching her show she could barely pay attention to us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
My husband and I are living here in our 5th wheel. We have been here six months and will be here for another year while he works in Paducah. We are very pleased with this RV Park. It is very convenient to restaurants and shopping. The owner/managers are very accommodating and try to do everything possible to make your stay comfortable. They have two very nice gazebos with plants (when seasonable), a fire pit, and table and chairs for the convenience of the campers. There are several large pull-thru sites. I would recommend this park to anyone, whether you're looking for full time, monthly, or just nightly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Cleanest showers I have ever seen, cleaner than most homes. Individual showers with heat at office, unheated at poolside. Very open, mostly rental campers but plenty for overnight. Sites pretty level, good wifi, very friendly staff unless you come in while they are trying to watch TV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly, helpful staff who escorted us to the site. It is a clean campground with newly-remodeled clean, well-decorated, spacious bathrooms. There are two attractive patio areas with potted plants, fountains, and gazebos. Big rig friendly; easy in and easy out with wide driving lanes. There is adequate space for RV and tow vehicle or toad. There is adequate space between sites and sites are level. No cable TV, but our antenna works well. Good wi-fi. A huge fenced dog run. Hardly any trees, but that is not a problem for us. We noticed very little highway noise, but we were in the middle of the park. Some earlier reviews on this website comment on junk, odor, an unkempt lawn, and insufficient gravel in some sites. It is clear that the owners have made improvements. There is new gravel throughout the park. There is no odor. The lawn is mowed. There are some areas toward the distant back of the park that are junkie, but they are away from the sites used for short-term campers and are generally not very noticeable. A few long-term campers have minor junk in their sites and the park’s owners should get that under control. Trash barrels at edges of campsites are unsightly. However, none of these negative issues are so bad that they should keep any prospective camper from considering this park. We definitely would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed only one night, but the host and hostess (owners) were very cordial and courteous, and made us feel right at home. They told us they have done a lot to upgrade the park and it showed it. The cabana area around the pool was very unique as well as the patio set-up right across from our overnight parking spot. Will definitely return on our next trip that way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice place for an overnight stay. Staff was very friendly and helped with attractions. Free WIFI They will be upgrading to cable we were told. There were only two showers, but they were immaculate. Sites are level. Close to services. Half mile from I-24 and no traffic noise. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We chose this park because it was half way between Branson, MO and Gatlinburg, TN. It was an overnight stop for us and it worked well. There appeared to be a number of permanent/long term working residents, it was not the type of park I would want to stay any length of time. There was no shade, but the sites are level and easy to navigate in and out of. We would overnight here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older park with old trailers at the back and junk here and there. No new trees that we could see. This wife noticed the smell too but husband did not. We also were put up front and road noise ain't the work for it not to mention the fact that it was constant all night long. We got little sleep and my husband is a hard sleeper and even he had a tough time. Don't know that we would ever stay here again unless we were desperate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The first thing my wife said when she opened the door upon arrival at this campground was “this place smells”. She couldn't have been more correct - on many levels. More on that later. Since we looked at the reviews on this site before considering a stay here, we knew we didn't want to be located in the front next to the road because of the noise. Unfortunately, the old adage “be careful what you wish for” applies here. The back of the campground is definitely the slums, with absolute junk trailers all over. We noticed a review from back in 2003 that described this place as “the pits”. We also noticed a review from July of '07 that said the owners were cleaning the place up and planting trees. I'm sorry to report that now, August, '07, this place is STILL the pits, there are NO trees being planted, the grass obviously hasn't been cut in weeks (it's a foot high in LOTS of places) and the view out my window includes an old beater van sitting on blocks with someone working under it. The whole scene reminds me of “The Grapes of Wrath”. In all fairness, the owners are refurbishing the laundry room with new dryers, and they now have free wifi, so they are apparently trying to make some changes. Oh, did I mention the hydraulic excavator that was unloaded from it's truck next to our site at 6AM this morning, accompanied by much banging, crashing and loud talking? And proceeded to start digging a huge hole. And loading dump truck after dump truck, which then drive back and forth by our site about every 10 minutes. As for the smell, it reminds me of the “aroma” you get when driving by an oil refinery (although not that strong). I hardly notice it, but it really bothers my wife. The entire experience in this place smells. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stop over if you are traveling on I-24. This is the second time we have stopped here and the place is under new management. The 50 amp service was and stayed right at 120 volts and the water pressure was solid. It is basically a gravel lot with some grass here and there, but the new management is planting trees and is cleaning the place up. It was easy to get to off I-24 and did not have any road noise. Nice, clean pool for the kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a good overnight campground. It is convenient to the interstate and is easy to access. The sights are pull-thru's and are level so no need to level or unhook for overnight. The owners/host are pleasent and very helpful, the internet is strong and the overall appearance is clean. We have stayed here overnight twice and will stay here again on our next trip in that area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a nice park. We stayed here and went into Metropolis, IL, the home of Superman! There were no trees, but the bathrooms were quite large. They have gravel sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place to spend the night. Not much else. Right next to an auto auction that was busy during our stay. Would recommend this park for overnight only. Office staff extremely nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed overnight right next to road so had some road noise but was to tired to care. People were very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owner was very nice, but this place was a dump. Most of the sewer connections were missing covers. Some had broken pieces of patio block covering them, one had a stuffed animal shoved into it. It smelled. The were what appeared to be many junked campers and vehicles. We will not be going back. I don't know how it received a WWWW rating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
When we arrived the pool was closed for a private party that the owner was having (poor decision when you advertise a pool?). Access was easy and it was a good one night stop over campground. There were a lot of permanent residents in some shody looking trailers, but then not all of us can own high dollar equipment? The receptionist was very polite and got the pool opened up after a discussion with the owner. Campground was quiet and everybody was very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here overnight on our way to Disney in December. We chose the campground
because of its access from I24. We were happy to find a campground that was open and had water in December. The campground was adequate for an overnight
stay but I would not recommend it for anything else. The four-lane highway next to it was noisy all night. The restrooms seemed to have been cleaned but not well. The shower floors didn't seem to have ever been cleaned. The Trailer Life directory WAY overrated this one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has terrible eye appeal. There is a lot of junk around and a large number of
permanent residents. Sort of a scary place. The pool and gazebo are nice but the rest is the pits. I recommend overnight only. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Plus side was the good location for the interstate, level sites, and family owned and operated. Lots of pride and a very clean campground. Negatives were the very narrow sites, gravel and no amenities. Good for only getting off the interstate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice small campground right on the Kentucky/Illinois border. The people were very nice and helpful. The restroom/showers & laundry were very clean. Not much shade until afternoon but very close to everything...would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We like this campground for an overnight stay and have stayed here twice before. Sam, in the office, is very friendly and just a delightful person to talk with. His daughter checked us in and she has the same great personality. We were in Site #4 and it was level. We will definitely stay at this campground when in the area. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Do not know where previous reviewers stayed, but it was not this park. No one ever was at the office. There is sign outside with directions for overnighters. It is nothing more than a gravel site, with full hookups. No nothing. Was OK for overnight and convenient to Quilting Museum, but I would not recommend it for anything but one night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is your basic gravel lot with full hookups, NO table, fire pit, or shade. It is convenient to I-24 but so close that it does have some road noise. It was OK for a one-night-stand. I'd probably try something different the next time through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice camp, we enjoyed the walk by the lake and the owner very nice. Help with some things to see at the water front. We will stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Clean and divided between overnighters and multiday stays. Pull-thrus are unshaded. Back ins are under the trees. Pull thrus are near local load so others aren't bothered by early departures. Very friendly on-site management. Good gravel and Private lake. My pick for a short term/overnight stay. No seasonals. Wi-Fi from a local truck stop SiriComm reaches campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice family run Good Sam park. The owner or is family are always on site. This is not a
"resort type" campgound, but, is a great place to stay. Very easy to get into with your rig. It is a couple minutes from the mall and maybe ten minutes from the Quilt Museum and the Paducah riverfront entertainment district. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were there on race day, and the noise was incredible. Otherwise it is an OK place to stay when in Paducah. It is hard to find and on very narrow roads. The spaces are unusually close together. Nice people. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Although the park had no shade it had grassy areas. The people were very welcoming and helpful. it was excellent and would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Long,level, pull-through sites. Should accommodate any size RV. New park, laundry room near office is nearly finished. Helpful, hard-working owners. Shuttle to nearby Paducah Int'l Raceway. Quiet setting except for the once a week event at nearby race track. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
