Rating: 9 9 10 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A little difficult to locate, but getting in park and site was no problem. Blacktop streets with concrete pads. Full Hookup, no cable, no local stations. Was not able to get WiFi to work. Campground very large and clean. Driving from interstate 6 miles, but was not a problem. We reserve over the phone, reservation made, no check-in required. We camped here in a 42 ft Motor Home. Site was large enough and patio tables were like new! - Guidry's
This is a beautiful park; long, wide, level concrete sites with concrete patios and picnic tables. The only reason I rated them only satisfactory for service is because reservations must be made either on-line or during the day since the phone rings into the city building and is only answered during business hours. There is no cable and we were not able to pull in any stations by our antenna. Wi-Fi worked well once you got through the hassle of downloading their program to check for anti-virus. All utilities were conveniently located and worked well with plenty of water pressure. Our only complaint is they have a two-dog limit. We foster and rescue tiny dogs and never know for sure how many we will have with us at any particular time. I really hate these restrictions because I don't understand how three or even four small dogs could cause as much disruption or make as much mess as two 70-pounders. We will definitely stay here again any time we can meet their pet restriction. - SandyA
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for 2 Rivers Campground »This gem has become our home away from home in the summer. Beautiful campground nestled right on the banks of the Kentucky River. Sites are concrete and level with concrete patios. Full hookups right where they need to be and super clean. It's a fairly new park with a LOT of pull-through sites and several back-ins. Our favorite sites are the back-ins that are overlooking the river. I've always paid in advance on their website or called the office as there's nobody on site that I've ever seen. Every now and then a City of Carrollton truck might wander through (the park is city owned) but that's about it. No hassles whatsoever. Carrollton has several good sit down restaurants, a Walmart and a Kroger, so almost anything you'd need is just a few miles away. If you're feeling adventurous, take a trip across the bridge to Madison, Indiana where you'll find more mighty fine eating establishments, antique shops, cafes, etc. - sixtires58

Rating: 7 6 8 7 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Camp site loops are not adequately marked with warnings for big rigs. We were in a 35' and were almost stuck navigating a loop. Satellite reception was good at site 65. Dump station was convenient. We didn't use the WiFi so can't comment. - lovingthervlife
Not the nicest state park camping area in Kentucky, I was disappointed in the condition of the sites and the camping area in general. The sites, with the exception of the middle-most loop or the sideways pull through sites in the first loop, are very uneven and tilted. The grassy areas around the sites are sparse and it gets a bit muddy if it rains hard. There were several trees completely blown over right on site pads while we were there, not a comforting sight. While it was a cold April time, we were rather surprised and disappointed at the bareness of the campground we found, and that after going out of our way to be here. Frankly, the cabins section is far better with rather nicely designed and appointed cabins, but RV sites were weak. All sites are water and electric hook-ups only. We did not use any facilities. In fact, it was cold while there so we didn't hook up water and we didn't use the dump station the next morning. I'm not sure I'd ever return here. - sandean

Rating: 8 9 10 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Excellent facility in southwest Indiana. We had a minor problem with the electric box while here. Maintenance came over and fixed it within 5-10 minutes. The campground is clean and well maintained. The only reason that I didn't rate it higher is that there isn't a lot of shade on the sites. The sites themselves are extremely level. Hookups are easy to access. This is probably the nicest commercial campground we've stayed at. Kudos to their staff. Great folks. - OhioBill
The park is very nice with asphalt interior roads except for the one in front of our site which was gravel. Looks like they have plans for future expansion. Our site was a long pull through concrete pad with gravel at the ends. Many of the sites are advertised as 55 ft and had asphalt entry. All sites have a concrete patio with picnic tables and grass in between the sites. The area between sites is spacious. The park is surrounded by green pastures on one side and trees on others. The water pressure was not great, but that could have been our inline pressure regulator instead of the park pressure. Although there is a cable connection, and the park brochure indicates cable (website says they no longer have cable), I called the office and they said it was turned off at the end of last season. No TV via antenna. No trees so the satellite worked well. Garbage is picked up at site. They will let you wash on site. Verizon worked well. Closest Walmart is 20 miles in Carrollton, KY. An IGA grocery store is about 5 miles away. The park has WiFi but didn't use. Did not use any of the park amenities. Rates were very reasonable. We stayed 4 nights for the price of 3 nights. We happened to be here at a time they were offering a spring special BOGO. Also Good Sam's discount. - Traveling and Living

Rating: 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Eagle Valley Camping Resort »This park is about 15 miles off of I-71. It is on a winding dangerous one lane country road with many sharp twists and turns. A truly nerve racking drive after several hours on the highway. When we arrived at 6 PM there was no one around. Some sites were closed down for the winter. We had to search for one with water. Store/reception run down. The nicest thing about this campground was the signs directing to the park. Once there it was down hill fast. I would never stay here again. - murph164

Rating: 4 2 9 10 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed here as an over night stop an a recent trip. Only had electric hookup. Dump station and water available. Deep, wet grass. Area needed mowing real bad. When I made my reservations I was quoted $30, but when I arrived I found that since it was race weekend, the rate was $75. They finally accepted the $30 rate I was quoted.
The camp sites are basically electric hook ups in a cow pasture. I had to use 4wheel drive on my truck when pulling out the next morning because my tires were spinning on the wet grass. - arkansasmelThis is basically a cow pasture turned into a campground. If you have a large RV it is not the place to stay. Also it is right across the street from the main railroad between Louisville and Cincinnati. Trains run all night and there is a crossing there so they blow the whistle 3 times. No sleep! There is only electric at each site so IMO it is overpriced. Sites are all tall grass, so pray it doesn't rain or you're stuck. Will not stay again, will boondock before staying there. - Ljbtn
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sparta Campground »Sparta Campground! Our 2nd time back! The owners are two of the loveliest people we have met in our lifetime! We stayed on Snob Knob (due to a little oversight on the owner's part). It was a quick switch to a different site & we had a wonderful couple nights with electric & water hook-ups! The train is loud and can wake you up, that is for sure (but it is dark & quiet down in that valley at night, otherwise). The property that the campground is situated on is an old tobacco farm & in MY opinion, it is simply gorgeous!! The hills that roll up around the campsites are covered with tall trees & it is the country AT its BEST!! We loved this short trip to Kentucky & our black lab had another fun time! Thanks again to the owners & their gracious southern hospitality! - patti&charlie

Rating: 6 2 8 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park is located in a closer area to all the attractions that are available to see in town. We were able to have WiFi, which made it easy to help navigate town. We paid a $5 deposit for a restroom key, which I did not mind as it kept transients out, it was refundable. We were told that showers were nothing to write home about at the start. They were acceptable for showering. We have a class A and were told we could either pull in or back in depending if we wanted the view or not. Would return to this campground as the view is worth the price. - gypsy561
1. Horrible Bathroom/Shower (that you have to leave a 5.00 deposit to get a key). The conditions of the facilities is not acceptable. I wouldn't take a shower here even if I hadn't bathed in weeks. Water dripped on my head, from the ceiling skylight, as I used the toilet. Just BAD! 2. Standing water and mud everywhere... our campsite flooded with a small shower. 3. THE CRAZY bright street lights over every site... blaring all night long!!! Really, this is not camping! 4. The spaces are so tight that you can reach out a touch the campers next to you... our neighbors started slamming car doors at 6:15am on Sunday morning. Once I was awakened, I started counting... 40+ door slams before these idiots pulled away and left. Simply unexplainably rude!!! I know this is not the campgrounds fault... but, this shows you what kind of visitors you'll find here. Pro: The camp host was nice and tried to help us with a good attitude. - Clayton Turner
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for City of Madison Campground »While there are sites on the north side of the one campground road, the sites on the river side are by far the most popular. The Ohio River is right outside your rear window (or if you pull a motor home in nose first, it's right outside your front window). The campsites, themselves, are way too close together putting your neighbors on either side just a few steps away. If there's any redeeming point about the spacing it's that each site is at a pretty hard angle making your "front" yard also your neighbor's "back" yard. If everyone just uses their front yard there's enough room for you to use the picnic table and set out some lawn chairs to watch the river. However, if your neighbor in a motorhome happens to want to pull in nose first that scheme is messed up and you end up with the front door of their RV matching up with the front door of yours - creating a shared front yard. On the other hand, the utility hookups actually support this approach because the water/electric hookups are on every other site. If you get an even numbered site they are on the normal, driver's side of the rig (when backing in). Otherwise, you either pull in nose first or you have to pass the hose/electric under the camper. There are no sewer hookups in the campground, but there is a dump station. The campground has for-pay WiFi. We didn't use it as our Verizon signal was a strong 4G. Also satellite TV was easy to get - after all you are basically aiming it out over the river and there are no trees in play. The bathrooms are old and worn but reasonably clean and in working condition. Because of the public nature of the campground (right along a city street) you pay a $5 deposit to get a bathroom key. The number of sites is limited so, if you are coming during the busy time of the year I strongly suggest you call ahead for reservations - especially if you want a riverside spot. - nazpaz

Rating: 9 10 8 7 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This appears to be a new RV park. The sites are all concrete with stone between the sites. The bathroom are very clean and spacious. The only gripe is the sites are not long enough to accommodate having your RV and tow vehicle. One has to park the tow vehicle perpendicular. The sites are close together. But that is about the only negative. The casino is about a 2-3 minute walk away. Buffet and two other restaurants to eat at. The town is about 10 miles away with more choices and a Wal Mart for groceries. Can't comment on the casino itself as we didn't set foot in it. One other thing, you check in for the RV park at the hotel located next to the campground. - minnow
This is a nice place but way over priced for what is here and we will not return for that reason. It is well maintained and clean. The park is so new the concrete pads are not even stained. There are about 8 bathrooms in the middle and a laundry with 3 washers and dryers. There are only 6 pull through spots. If you have a bigger rig like ours, 44 ft, pick a site that you can back in from one of the through roads in the park. There are gravel pads along each site but ours is not deep enough for our pickup to fit. We had good verizon and at&t signals and all sites are sat friendly. One nice thing, and probably due to the cost to stay here, we shared the entire park with 6 others through the middle of the week. There is a security gate to get in and out and a shuttle pick-up to the Casino. - Ghettomedic
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for RV Park at Rising Star Casino »We arrived here very early in their season and they didn't have very much organized. Check in was meticulous. Exit gate was still locked so we had to leave through the entry. Enough about that... it was early season so no big deal. So, the good... They accept many discounts, Good Sam, AARP etc. They have about 52 back in sites and about 4 pull throughs. All are concrete, nicely spaced with picnic tables on gravel at each site. This is a new park so all amenities are in excellent condition. They have 7 separate bathrooms each with a shower, sink and toilet. No common bathrooms. All are like new condition. The laundry has 4 washers and 4 dryers. No kid stuff at all. The park is located about 1/4 mile from the casino which is on the Ohio River. We understand they will have a shuttle later on. The bad..... The sites are all concrete (good...) and all sites except the few pull throughs are 40ft long (bad...). So if you're like us and have a 38ft Fifth wheel, your rig is nearly hanging out in the road unless you overhang the site in the back. That may or may not work depending on who is in the site behind you. The roads are new and all paved but they are narrow. No problem getting in but there is nowhere to park your tow vehicle or towed vehicle. If folks park in front of their rigs on both sides of the street, I doubt if rigs could get through. No guest or additional parking anywhere close either so you will have to park in the hotel parking lot about 100 yards away unless you can park on your "yard" area that is gravel. Probably not going to happen so plan to walk to your vehicle. - AlaskaJack

Rating: 8 4 9 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very nice state park campground. Spacious sites with gravel pads. Asphalt interior roads so nice for riding bikes. Electric only sites which is pretty typical for Indiana State Parks. Stayed for 3 nights during Madison's annual Chautauqua, which is a very nice arts and crafts festival. Several nice hiking trails within the park. Our site was very level, but not so true for some of the other sites. - Daryn
We arrived on a Sunday for a two night stay and had to pay $9.00 entrance fee after we paid about $30.00 a night on reserveamerica.com. The park is beautiful but were informed that the waterfalls weren't running since they need rain. Our site was level but next to a dumpster. We were also informed that we needed to fill our tanks with water since no water is at our site. The restroom/showers were very outdated, buggy, moldy and dirty. The showers and sinks had a system were you had to continually hit the button for water to come out. Shower had no hot or cold options. We rode our bikes to pool area and sign stated $3.00 per person. This park really nickels and dimes you everywhere. We liked the wildlife and enjoyed the fire flies in the evening. - JESUSisLovefl
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Clifty Falls State Park »This is a nice and spacious campground. The spots are not too close to each other. In the middle of the electric loop it is very open and there is not a ton of privacy. The perimeter sites are very nice and private. Sites 18-25; 34-35 are shaded and nice. Site 35 might be the most private spot in the park. Site 34 (ours) is also very nice and private. Also the tree on the left side (site #34 - as you look at the site) is now gone. Most of the non-electric (tent area) is mostly very private and may sites are shaded. Some of them are really nice, but would be tight for any trailer of size. - kettlebelle

Rating: 8 7 8 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Decent state camping park. Sites are not very level. You will need at least two or possibly three water hoses here. Showers dated but acceptable. Small store sells ice and other items. Mini golf is also available as well as a swimming pool. Very nice setting. - sjwake
Smaller park with well spaced out sites. However, many sites are very unravel despite being asphalt....plus, not big rig friendly. Tight fit for our 32' fifth wheel. Nice pool, though small, and it was not being refilled with water...level clear went down. There is a nice putt putt course, sadly there was a tree that had fallen down on the course some time ago and never cleaned up. Camp hosts were active putting reservation forms on site poles. Dump station was adequate. Water source was shared between two sites...thankfully, we had 50' of hose. Convenient to half way point to family in Louisville with camper. So, we will probably stay here again...it's ok and works for us. Met nice people from Louisiana and North Dakota. - Jitime40
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Big Bone Lick State Park »We live close and wanted to take our granddaughter camping for a couple of days and chose Big Bone....the site was fairly level but a lot of the sites are not so beware when you make a reservation you may need some blocks. The electric was fine, but I needed the third hose to get to the water spigot, so make sure you got 75 feet of hose. No full hookups, but the dump station is easy in and out The sites are somewhat large but open, so privacy is not going to happen.There are trees throughout the campground, so there is some shade at most sites. The restrooms were clean and plenty of hot water. We got a lot of over the air TV stations and cell signal, ATT, was for the most part was non existent Interior roads are big rig friendly, sites are asphalt with a gravel patio area with picnic table and fire ring. Staff was nice as always, putt putt, pool and playgrounds for everyone. Don't forget to go and see the Bison, not as big as the ones at Yellowstone. It's a nice park to relax and visit the Ark or the Creation Museum that are close by. We will stay here again. We feel this is a very family friendly park and encourage you to enjoy it sometime. - smoky40

Rating: 5 5 1 3 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park has two sections; we stayed in the lower section along the Ohio River. This used to be our very favorite RV park, but this most recent stay was a disappointment. The road was a disaster, large potholes full of muddy water. The grass needed to be mowed, and we never did get their wi-fi to work. The final insult was: Since our last stay, the price per night went up over $10 per night. With some road repairs and general sprucing up, the park would be very nice, but I'm still not sure it would be worth $45 per night. - SW Ohio Travelers
Pool can be hit or miss with chemicals and being green. Grounds upkeep has significantly declined over the last 2 years. HUGE potholes everywhere, they have said they are adding gravel for the last 2 years, if it rains, it is a muddy mess on the roads! - AEGR
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Little Farm On The River LLC »We stayed there for 2 nights with our GS camping chapter with 7 units and 1 using the very unsatisfactory cabin. The roads leading to the campsites are asphalt, but once you get to the area of the campsites the road turns to gravel and is full of numerous large potholes. On the one road you was supposed to leave out of campgrounds there was a pothole large enough to be a small pond and when I drove through it after a heavy rain with my Jeep Wrangler, I thought I was about to lose it in the pothole, it was so deep. When leaving this morning everyone try to avoid it by goin through an empty site over to the other drive which wasn't much better, but at least you wouldn't fall in. The park was very full as it was a NASCAR Weekend at Kentucky Raceway. The yard needed mowing and actually the whole park is in a state of severe array. Someone needs to get a hold of this park and clean it up or it is doomed to extinction. On a plus note, this park could be a SUPER NICE Campgrounds if someone would just give it a lot of TLC. Last but not least, it is also overpriced for what you get. Almost forgot, the Wi-Fi was atrocious, never was able to get on it. - paulbe
