This is a very nice campground. The site I was in was pretty level. Route 627 has a downgrade beside the campground. Trucks use their Jake brakes descending the grade. Next to the campground is a working quarry. There is more noise here than just about any place I have been. If you want a quiet place during the day, this is not it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at spot 139 and it was pretty secluded. The check-in attendant did not give us a map or any idea on how to get to our site. If you can print a map off the internet, I would. You can see your campsite on their web site before you make your reservations. I thoughy this was a real plus. The bathrooms were clean and there were scheduled activites to do. Make sure you bring plenty of water hoses because the water hookups were kind of far. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground was very well decorated for Halloween. It was very crowded with many sites exceeding the allowed number of campers/tents/cars per site. The sound of the interstate was a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker. I saw very few level sites, we had to block up the front tires to keep from lifting the front wheels when leveling. The water spigot was more the 50' away (took 3 hoses). Overall very clean, the staff was friendly and I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This would be a nice park if it wasn't across the street from a rock quarry that starts work at 7AM. It generated a lot of noise and dust. Also, the park is located on State Road 627, which is a cut through between Richmond and Winchester, KY. There were a lot of semi's using this road with Jake Brakes on. This was at all hours of the day or night. We spent 4 nights at this park because we didn't know about the above. We wouldn't stay at this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Arrived at the check in Friday night and was greeted by a worker who was very curt. No map or directions were given at check in as to where my campsite or bathhouses were located. Water hook ups are located away from the electric hook ups, so you will need to bring an extra long hose to get water. We were in site 73 and we were more than 25' away from the spigot. Lots to see and do and shopping is less than a 10 minute drive. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We camped at Fort Boonesborough on a weekend. We live near Lexington and tend to stay close to home. It's a real easy pull to get to the CG. The CG was packed with people everywhere. The sites were a little cramped in the back, we stayed at site 162. It has three dump stations and the bath house near our site was newer and clean. The sites up near the entrance as you came in were a lot better looking with more room. The pool was nice but the decks were dirty and people were allowed to eat on the pool deck. The life guards were a poor excuse too. You better watch your own kids because they are too busy texting and chatting with each other. There is no quarry noise on the weekend of course and it was very quiet after 2300 hours. Nice park over all and we will stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful, spacious sites, all water/electric/50 amp. (except for separate tent area). Nice mini golf area, pool with water slide. Fort was disappointing and expensive to visit. One of the best campgrounds we have ever stayed at! Noise round the clock from a nearby quarry was the only downfall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed one night in this state park. Overall this is park is well equipped and up to date. The bathhouses were clean and in good repair. The park was clean and the sites were for the most part level. The one we had was paved. However, the tenting area was one of the best I have ever seen. There were no hookups in the tent area. But, there was an abundance of trees for shade. This park had all the bells and whistles one could want. I saw 4-5 playground areas for small kids. They had tennis courts, putt-putt, horseshoe pits, an activity center stocked with games, a pool, and a nice old fort near by, laundry facilities, volleyball, and more. It also lies near some river with a boat launch. This state park has a reservations system. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Satellite reception is excellent if you have the right spot. Some spots are blocked by the trees. Roads and sites are paved. Restrooms/showers were clean. We will stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is down in a bottom making satellite reception next to impossible. Swimming pool was a healthy walk from the camping area and some sites we noticed were terribly unlevel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was quite a nice place on very historic grounds. Being a history freak, this is high on the appeal level. On the negative side, it's right behind a quarry and, if you're in camp during the day the beep beep of the loaders could be annoying. They do shut down at night. The other negative is the water outlets can be a very long way from some of the sites. Mine was a full 75' away, but we dealt with it. Plus was the friendly atmosphere, nice sites, fairly clean for a heavily used spot, bathrooms and showers were in good shape through out the stay. They do have a huge pool with a water slide. The original and the reconstructed fort are on the grounds. Power was near at hand. I'd go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites were very small, many vehicles could not fit in site. Ranger was a little over bearing. Sewage treatment plant located in middle of park. Could not smell anything though. Pool is extra charge. My site was very dirty with garbage laying around. Only good thing to say was restrooms very clean and the most water pressure I have ever experienced in a shower. Almost painful!!! We camped here in a Tent.
