View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Wax Campground »Great site - 3 bath houses, all sites very long. A lot of folks bring their boat and in many cases room for RV and boat on site. Picnic table, fire ring. Sites have great level portion - but while most are long, not all are level across the length. Great use of trees. Several sites in A loop immediately next to Nolin reservoir shore. Easy access from I65 or Bluegrass Parkway. For RVs of any size. Every site has dry gravel patio as well. - KB Farms

Rating: 8 7 7 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed in site 58, Loop A in a FW. There was no need to disconnect. Park is well maintained and clean. All sites had metal picnic table, fire ring and a higher table for a portable grill. Most site were easy access back in. Some, including ours, are just sites along the road. I had to parallel park my FW because the sites on both ends were occupied. Not a big problem. Hookups were on the wrong side due to camp layout. Loops closest to the water have no hookups (flooding issues?) Campground had bathrooms, showers and playgrounds. Boat docks nearby. We had a very nice, quiet stay. I recommend this very nice COE, but get a reservation!
Get a back in site, avoid the "side of the road" site we had. There are a few true pull throughs, but not many. There are many trees, but I found none in the way of driving or parking. - Preacher GordonCOE campground a bit off the beaten path. Narrow, long road from Interstate to get there but the park is fairly close to Mammoth Cave NP. And for that reason alone the campground is a good choice. We were given a 'drive-in' site which meant we were essentially camping in the road with our slide out in the roadway. Odd site! The gentleman on duty offered to give us a new site but we were OK for just two nights. Campground has dozens, and dozens of non-electric sites on the lakefront that seem to go unused. If you want to boondock these sites have stunning views. By the way...the lake and area is gorgeous! - Randy L

Rating: 8 9 10 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a beautiful campground on the banks of the Nolin River Lake. Some sites have electric and water (no sewer) and some are primitive. Most of the sites are big-rig friendly. The road from the interstate is narrow and curvy; it is doable, but be prepared for white knuckles. Mammoth Cave is about 30 minutes away if you take the ferry. No Wi-Fi or OTA TV, weak Verizon signal. The park attendant was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. There is a great hardware store and diesel/gas available in Cub Run. Beware that you cannot get on the interstate from 88 you have to go to 30 west. - winnie1
Beautiful park. The park was clean and well maintained. Check in was easy and the gentleman at the gate was friendly and helpful. He even advised us that the site we had reserved ahead may be a little difficult for our rig based on location of electric and water hookups, and suggested a few alternates for us to choose from. Not all the sites are level along the full length of the site, but we were able to get "level enough". The sites are built up with timbers. The landing pad was crushed gravel with solid footing underneath. The sites include a patio covered in bark mulch with a picnic table and grille. The only reason I didn't rate this a 10 is that there aren't sewer hookups available. You can't beat the value for money. We will stay again. - MrsBowman
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Dog Creek COE »Fantastic COE campground. Large gravel site with plenty of room to spread out with plenty of privacy. Site A011 was right on the lake and could not have been prettier. Has a good view for my tailgater but no at&t cell service. Nearest shopping is Cub Run but this is minimal and in a dry county. - Crottys

Rating: 10 4 10 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This campground is excellent! Large sites, sites on the outer edge of the loops had good privacy. Sites on the inside of the loops not so much privacy. Bathhouse is very clean, as well as the laundry room. We stayed for three nights and visited Mammoth Cave N.P., ziplined and toured the towns in the area of Mammoth Cave. This is probably the nicest campground we stayed in during this trip. Highly recommend the campground. - Ortep
We've camped at this park for 10 years & up until this last time we camped, we've had no complaints. The grass hadnt been cut on the entire side of the campground we were in. We got there on a Thurs & stayed until Mon & the bathhouse had not been cleaned until Sun evening & only because we complained to the attendant about it. Even then, it was not cleaned well. The floor was mopped but hadn't been swept so the dirt was just moved around basically. They weren't just dirty, they were unsanitary. The attendant tried to say they'd been cleaned everyday but there were things on the floor & the commodes that were there every single day & wouldn't have been had they been cleaned. It was obvious they hadn't been cleaned and in days. It looked like there was mold in the shower stall walls also. Until this last vist, the park was always very well kept & maintained, we were very disappointed especially when we complained & instead of making it right, we were just told a bold faced lie. - Heidi J
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Nolin Lake State Park »The park was beautiful, well kept, and quiet. Could have used a better view of the lake, but we got the impression that they were trying to keep a buffer zone around the lake, so that's OK. Our site was very large and level! It's a long way to the store, but that's a plus if you plan ahead. - MolliesPack

Rating: 6 9 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: So, if you're booking on the Reserve America site, know this: the map that's there isn't CLOSE to being an accurate representation of the park. As such, I booked a site I never would have booked, had I known how things really are. Most of the electric sites are set up on the 'wagon-wheel' format, but the "hubs" of the wheel are pretty tight. I couldn't even get my 30' TT around one without dropping off the road, and even shorter TTs won't stay on the asphalt either. There are also some really close driveways (ours touched the neighbors, at the road), and a couple >90-degree turns. Our site, B18, had a beautiful view of the rusted chain link fence which separates the campground from the neighbor's property, which featured a burn pile with old tires on it. Thankfully, he didn't burn anything while we were there. However, there are some nice sites at the park. Most of the best of them are in the primitive camp area. That's right, the really long, scenic view-of-the-lake sites are non-electric. Seems kind of backward, but that's how it is. Oh, and the dump station?? It's on a hill, and you'll never make it to the correct side of the dump station if you're pulling a larger trailer, the turn is really sharp, too. The beach is nice, and on the other side of the highway, but it's also a local favorite (cause it's free), so there were some, uh..., ne'er do wells that visited, that sort of ruined the enjoyment. If we would ever consider going back (and that's a 'probably not'), we'd book a site in the "d" section, in the 40s lot numbers. - fastalker64
We had a wonderful time camping here. Our site was in the very back of the campground. Very quiet. More than enough room for 2 tents and 5 people. Restrooms were clean and nearby. Attendants were very friendly and helpful. The only complaint was we had to drive to the swimming beach. Could walk but I have health problems. - Floor_it

Rating: 9 5 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Axtel is another splendid CoE property. Well-maintained, clean, quiet, and comfortable. A huge sandy beach is located near the entrance. The campground winds around a cove in two directions and many sites have a view of the water. The A loop has the tightest turns and the least attractive sites, including a loud buzzing water treatment plant and road noise directly behind. Best sites are in Areas B-E with plenty of shade, and large gravel pads. Many sites in these sections have direct access to the water where you can beach your boat, fish, or jump in for a swim. Several Buddy sites are also available for camping with friends. Area G (numbered 121-137 sites) are located on a hill without access to the lake, but most have good views and deep shade.
Areas I and H are only open on holiday weekends. Both are along the tail waters instead of the main lake. Area I is located high on the cliffs, while Area H is down near the water.
We were here on a busy summer weekend and the CG was quiet at night. Two hosts are on property and the CoE rangers patrol regularly. Really nice lake destination and we will be sure to stay here again. - Flying MantisThe campground is nice , but the park attendant was very,very rude he was very hateful and a smart alec to everyone in our party and other people that were camping there said the same thing too. - Wes payne
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Axtel Campground - COE »McDaniel, KY Axtel COE Campground. Great COE campground with waterfront and water view sites. Most sites require some leveling but didn't see any extreme. There are some big rig friendly sites just make sure you research or call to inquire. W/E or Electric Only or Nonelectric sites available, dump station onsite. Each site has gravel/blacktop pad, fire ring, picnic table and fish cleaning station. There is a beach and playground. Very calm campground in our eyes even when mostly full. Great places to fish from shore or there is marina across street. Bathhouses pretty standard, charmin toilet paper!! No hand soap though, clean. Verizon and ATT worked very well no issues. One negative thing but not huge no selling of firewood or ice within campground had to go 1 mile up the road to hardware store to get. Roads to get to campground not bad typical lake country roads once off major but very doable just take your time. - CmcDowell

Rating: 9 8 1 1 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: ACE facility ( also know as Army Engineers Corps), great campground, nice camp hosts. Good fishing spot. Wish we could have stayed longer. - Bajadrmr
We found a secluded site on parcel level ground and overlooking water tails. We have been back 3 times already this year and love that spot. The coons are a little annoying at night and will pretty much walk up to you! Our site was clean and well maintained! Love this place for a adult camping adventure. - tanyay78
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Rough River State Resort Park »Why oh why did we stop here? The site was so narrow we could hold a hot dog on a stick out our window and roast it on the neighbor's smoky "fire". Thankfully, they were friendly and tried to talk quietly til about midnight when they retired. There are a few wide sites at one end, and they get progressively narrower along the road. Turns are tight. For us, this reinforced the need to better read RV Park Reviews. - Windjammer

Rating: 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mammoth Cave National Park - Maple Springs Campground »Stayed at this park with a group of friends. These are equestrian/group sites and about a 1/2 acre each. There were several groups and several single families spread out over the generous sites. The large sites are very private and we had no trouble with a travel trailer, two tents and 4 cars on a single site. The loop is paved and there are generous parking areas for horse trailers and trucks. There are several adjacent hiking and biking trails as well as a charming dirt road down to an old Baptist Church in the woods. There was minimal evidence of horses but abundant wildlife. This is 20 min and a ferry ride away from the Mammoth Cave visitor's center and cave but it feels like its 100 away. RVs cannot cross the ferry so must come in across other roads. The toilets are well maintained pit toilets and there are no showers. I assume they would let us dump in the main campground but its over an hour drive to get there without using the ferry. Everyone was impressed with this little gem and we plan to be back. - Dennchristen

Rating: 8 9 8 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park has lots of trees but we had asked for a spot where our satellite dish would work. There are apparently only a couple of these spots and we got one. Quite a few full time residents but the park was clean and safe. The pool looked pretty and inviting. Very quiet for sleeping. Would stay again if coming through the area. - PatD
We only stayed one night as a stopover, but we were very impressed with this park and would come back for a longer stay. Beautiful pool - clean and well maintained. Fishing pond was used a lot and provided a gorgeous backdrop for our site. Friendly staff, shady sites with a nice layout which makes each site feel spacious. Very quiet, no traffic noise at all. Only reason not to give it a 10 was because our site was not very level, but we didn't even unhook our trailer, so it made very little difference. - jenshick
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Glendale Campground »Stayed in off season so pool was closed. Looked a good size with nice large fenced patio and pavilion. Small lake adjacent. Site wasn't very level but campground is on hillside. Due to off season our site was electric only. Bathroom older but clean with lots of hooks in shower area to hang my stuff. Pet peeve of mine is showers without hooks to hang your stuff away from wet floor and benches. - Kts22
