Rating: 6 9 9 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Good access to Louisville. Interior roads pretty poor - maybe because of recent heavy rains? Seemed to be a high number of long-termers, which gave areas of the park a very crowded feel. We felt the park wasn't worth the cost, even though we knew that going in. We might feel different if we had kids. - RDABBA
We just wanted to stay for one night, a Saturday - get off the road and relax. The office folks worked us into a 75' 30 amp pull thru with water and electricity. We were escorted to our site, which was fairly level and long enough to unhook then park our MDT. Our rooftop satellite was able to lock onto a satellite. We arrived in time to relax in the pool, walk the dog until she tired and go to dinner. Big park, paved and gravel roads, gravel sites, adaquately spaced, exiting the site was fine, the next turn was tight, no worries after that. We have a 40' 5th wheel and tow with a Freightliner, the park is big rig compatible and the employees know where to put ya. Yes, $45 is a bit high for a 30 amp electric/water site but it was where we needed, when we needed with a warm, safe and friendly atmosphere. - Born2RV
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Louisville South KOA »I'm not usually a fan of KOA's because they tend to be a bit pricy but this one of the best I've been to. It's in a large park like setting off the main road. It's family oriented park with lots of activities. We arrived prior to Memorial Day weekend without reservations. After we we arrived we called several parks and found them all booked for the holiday weekend. The office staff went out of their way to help us extend our stay. If ever in the area we'll be back. - Recycled

Rating: 7 9 8 2 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Signs leading to the campground could be a lot better. We kinda stumbled on the place and thats a bit unnerving going down a narrow road and not sure if the campground is there. Once on site, access is fairly easy and straght forward. Sites are level and certainly not spacious but OK for an over nighter. Utilities are good but placed too far to the rear for a large motorhome towing to hook up sewer without dropping the toad. They have wifi but we never could find it on our iPads so we used our Verizon. Sites are open so satellite was easy. It is clear they allow, but really don't want, dogs in the park. An entire page of pet rules, numerous signs threatening expulsion and a dog walk in a grassy area beside a paved road conveys the message pretty clearly. I've certainly paid more and stayed in worse. - Pjoe
Neat clean park. Easy off and on to interstate. Have stayed there many times when traveling through. - midnightpumpkin
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Grandma's RV Camping »The sites are paved and level but very close together. The fact that it was a pull-through made it much easier to access. The interior roads are also paved. The only negative is the interstate is close and noisy. This is a great overnight stop. The manager was extremely nice. - HaveDieselWillTravel

Rating: 8 10 10 2 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed at this park for 1 month. Utilities are all good and Wifi is excellent. A friendly, helpful staff. Easy on and off of I-65. We were in site #50 with a 40 foot fifth wheel. We would stay again. - John Denny
After reading the negative reviews, I was hesitant about staying at Brooks mobile home and RV Park. After arriving I immediately wondered if the negative reviews were actually from people who have never stayed here. We stayed for two days it was very clean and kid friendly. I will happily stay here again when I'm in the area. Don't be misguided by negative reviews. Stay there and find out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. - TheBestest1

Extremely friendly and helpful manager. Very clean and spacious we will definitely stay here again. This area is one of the safest places around Louisville. You can shop and eat anywhere around Brooks without problems. The southern hospitality there is wonderful. - Anna_84

Rating: 1 3 1 1 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: What an awful place. Then again, this isn't a campground; it's basically a few spots in a parking lot that have hookups on the side for RVs. How they get away charging so much is beyond me. I guess most of the folks who use the sites particulate in events at the expo center, arena or the amusement park next door (which shares an entrance gate). The design of the hookups is atrocious as the water was on one side, the electric was about 50 feet away on the other side and the sewer was in the middle. The sewer was also encased with a metal plate - we needed a screw driver to pry it open. We had to park at a really strange angle to get everything hooked up - it will be a real nightmare hitching back up due to the angle we're at. There is only an attendant on duty who didn't seem to know much of anything except how to run the credit card. The office he worked in was a 6x6 box with no windows and filthy (like a mechanic's office). The adjacent rest rooms and showers were no better. This is also right behind Kentucky Kingdom amusement park so it was very noisy with music blaring. Also in the landing path for the airport, so constant planes flying overhead. We only came here because due to a huge hot rod rally in town next week, everything else was booked up. We could only stay 2 nights anyway, as this area will be cleared and we'll need to move to their dry camping area, where all the hot rodders will be. - cherylbrv
Used this park because of it's location in the Louisville area. It's really not an RV park. It is a large parking lot with hookups. Most don't have sewer but a few do. There are no amenities, only hookups. The parking lot is used as the midway during the state fair in August. Other times it's available for camping. Most campers are there for some kind of a function on the fair grounds. Would probably be a good location for the Derby. - vidcity
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Kentucky Exposition Center »Been going there for the last ten years to work shows at the fairgrounds. The facilities are always filthy with little or no maintenance. This year was the worst. There was no, repeat no, water anywhere in the RV park at the Kentucky Exposition Center?'s RV park with which to re-fill our fresh water tank in the RV. Not only that, but the shower/restrooms at the RV park were such filthy swill holes that just stepping into them made me think I needed to burn the shoes I was wearing before stepping foot back into our RV. No way would I use the facilities. Therefore we were unable to shower for four days. Only able to wipe down with a damp paper towel to freshen up. We got a tad ripe in those four days. To add insult to injury RV parking at the Expo Center costs $50.00 a night!! To further cause aggravation for RV owners trying to stay there when the Expo Center's crews cleared the RV parking lot of snow they pushed the cold, white stuff into mountains over most all of the RV parking spots. I would add that the pork producers, the fish frying folks and the chicken frying folks, all of whom work in the sheds located in the RV lot, had no water either. This meant that they had no way to wash up after using the filthy restrooms and no way to wash pots and pans or grills they were using. I'd be surprised if none of the food patrons at the Expo Center didn't get deathly ill after eating there this last weekend. - Jim C.

Rating: 7 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park is right across the street from Church Hill Downs. Kind of tight for a 40' 5'er but fit-had to back in from the street though. Not a bad neighborhood. We stayed there almost 2 weeks for the fair. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Was quiet at night. Would stay there again. - reviewer3
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Trackside RV Park »We didn't actually stay here, but we pulled in and looked around. Posting this review since I've seen others ask about it. Trackside is directly behind Churchill Downs, and the lady we spoke to on the phone was quite friendly. Those are the good things. On the other hand, it was basically someone's backyard with some older hookups, in what appeared to be a somewhat sketchy area. It was fenced in, though. The handle on our water hookup was broken, and the sewer hookup was under a broken piece of cinderblock. We decided to leave, but it might be okay for a couple days if you're looking for the closest possible park to Churchill Downs. It was tough backing our 31' in from the street, and around the back of the garage. - NH Camper

Rating: 4 3 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is just a parking lot of a somewhat shabby fleamarket. We camped here as it was close to Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger Museum and there are few options nearby. There were electric hookups, no water. Bathrooms were old and not very clean. Area is dicey- they do have locked gates and security staff drove through every hour. We had no problems. An OK place to stay for the night if you want to be close to things in Louisville- just not really a campground. - johnsonj
Convenient parking to Louisville and Churchill Downs. You are in the parking lot of a large flea market that based in old warehouses. Neighborhood is a little dicey with many strip joints along the road. People working there are very friendly and helpful. Rate was for a 30 amp hookup in the off season. No water available at our site due to freezing temps. Rate for derby week is $650 for the week. They were completing wiring for 50 amp while we were there. - glenthompson

Rating: 1 4 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is not a campground. It at best is an unattended parking lot. The location is in a very shady part of town. You have to pull a large RV through the hood to get to this place. The place is unattended and messages left on their phone were not returned. IMHO, this place should not be listed as a campground. We left because we did not feel safe in this area of town. Maybe it is different on weekends when the flea market is operating but then all you migh have is electricity. I did not see any other facilities. - Ras2
A most unusual experience. I knew from researching Louisville, that there weren't a lot of top notch locations in which to stay. We picked this Derby Park, site of a large flea market on the weekends, and we made the mistake of arriving during the flea market. The supervisor came in his car and guided us into a large grass and dirt parking lot with electrical boxes on the fences. It is used mainly as a camping spot for RVs during the Kentucky Derby. We plugged in along the fence but then noticed that this was also the parking area for the Haunted House attraction that night. The manager, who really went out of his way to help us in every area, and is to be commended, suggested that we move our rig down to the other side after the flea market closed and we would be away from the Haunted House. We did that, but were surprised in the morning to have our RV surrounded by cars, and a farmer selling chickens and live roosters to a multitude of people. This park is located in a very seedy area, but amazingly we experienced no problems. As nice as the manager was, we will never be back. There were no other RVs that even tried to stay here. Electric only. I heard there was a dump station but with so many cars there, we left. - elduque

Rating: 8 8 1 1 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Enjoyed a nice weekend here. Easy check-in as the host was there as we pulled into the campground. We were surprised that they did not take credit cards and there were no picnic tables or fire rings at the sites. The campground was clean and had well-kept level sites and nicely mowed grounds. It was quiet and very close to town and surrounding attractions. We will definitely return. - bkbeck
We did not experience the problems the previous reviewers had. No barking dogs, no parties or excessive noise, cordial campground attendant ( led us to our site), and we had a level site with concrete "runners" for our tires and lastly, an excellent view of the lake out of our front window! We selected a water and electric site (50a) overlooking the lake. We had good Verizon cell service and MiFi (ours) and DirecTV satellite service. The park was well kept, no trashy campers and well maintained gravel roads-no potholes. We didn't use the restrooms or showers but found that the interiors could use a little painting around stalls and floors. The campground is well situated and close to downtown Bardstown and less than 2 miles from restaurants, groceries, etc. We most definitely will return here. Be aware there is not a sign in front of the campground but we were well aware that this was our destination because some RV's are visible from the road.
Perhaps the other reviewers were unlucky in theirs experience or perhaps there has been a revelation in a cleanup campaign in the park; however, in any event we definitely will return and encourage others to be positive while making their decision in stopping in this campground. We extended our stay to 4 days. - gatordanView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Little Patch of Heaven (formerly Holt's Campground) »All I can say is Run! Do not stay at this park Sites very unlevel. Bad power, Dogs will attack your dog that is on a leash. Owner makes rules that for some of his buddies they can be noisy, drinking, singing and playing music and keep you awake at night, way after 10pm. Been traveling for 3 years and this has been the worst experience we have had. Never Again. - Maverickpro203

Rating: 7 4 10 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park is a work in process. Management's efforts to improve the sites and roads are readily apparent and we feel the park has great potential. Our site was excellent, though many others are in need of attention - and staff was working on those sites and the internal road during our visit. The park is very convenient to Bardstown and all its attractions. - RDABBA
Initially disgusted by bathrooms and general lack of upkeep in park. Has tremendous potential with the layout and trees, but very unlevel sites, tall grass, abandoned buildings/barns/equipment concerned us about pest/snakes/chiggers.... gravel sites are narrow and require external steps even when air is dumped. The area between sites with the tall trees was the saving grace for the campground. Won't go back. - JohnBoyToo
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for White Acres Campground »A gem of a park with really nice folks. Owners had the foresight when designing this Campground to provide space between sites and plant some amazing trees. Mostly level sites, no issue with blocks or needing to worry about steps. Plenty of space for dogs to chase the ball (or rabbits) in nearby fields. Close by attractions In Bardstown, but campground should be an attraction on its own. WiFi excellent. - NitroFlash
