Rating: 8 10 10 8 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice park, but under the flight path for Louisville Airport. - wandering Burro
We could not have been happier with this RV park. Very shaded, level site, laundry room & showers were spotless. The front office was helpful & friendly. The swimming pool was well kept & extremely clean. 30 & 50 amp available. We had no problems. Pets are welcome. We will definitely stay there again. - Dixie-33 _home
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Louisville South KOA »We stopped for a night on the way to PA. I wish we had planned more time here. We checked in right at 1:00 PM. The hosts were wonderful. Lots of walking trails for us and the dogs. There is a nice pool. The dogs had fun in Kamp K-9. Once the place filled up more and kids poured out of RVs the playground and ground bounce were full. They all seemed to be having a great time. We went to the complimentary s'mores social that evening, and lots of activities were scheduled for the next day. Too bad we had to leave early the next morning. This is a great place to base for exploring the Bourbon Trail and local museums. Or just stay right there. They make it a fun place to be. Restrooms /showers were a bit dated but clean. - Jeff and Melissa 1105

Rating: 6 8 6 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park offers the basics for sites and services at a very reasonable price. The roads in the park are paved and the sites are gravel. The sites are a mix of back in and pull through and all are very close together. The park has a decent bathroom, shower and laundry area with a working wifi. The range of the wifi may not reach to all sites, but you can get on the wifi if you are close to either the office or the bathroom/shower building. The park is just off I-65 making it a convenient base to explore the Louisville area. The weekly rate for us made the average nightly rate less than $30 including taxes. Given the price and working wifi, we would have no problem staying here again. See our full updates, reviews and pictures at our blog at thegilliamsisland. - Gary Gilliam
Good place for a couple of days, easy excess to I65. - pcarrell
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Grandma's RV Camping »We only stayed overnight so didn't see much of this relatively small campground. Location is very convenient, right off the interstate. There isn't a check-in parking area, but when we pulled up with our big motorhome, someone came out of the office and told us which site to go to, and we went and paid her after getting set up. Our gravel pull-through was easy to get into and very level, and utilities worked well. AT&T and Verizon both worked well. We knew going in that the park is not dog friendly, and the many warning signs about immediate eviction without refund for any infraction (e.g. dogs can't pee on any plants, shrubs, etc.) reinforced the fact. We found a few local neighborhood streets to walk our dog on, which was fine for an overnight stay. Despite the dog situation, we'd stay here again overnight if the location is convenient, but wouldn't stay more than one night. For those without a dog, the park might be a little better. - LifeRebooted

Rating: 4 1 1 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: First there are no signs. I was told to take exit 120 off I-65. There is no such exit. I called for instructions and was told when we got here to enter and go all the way around the park to our site on the left. That left the hook-ups on the wrong side so we had to make a very sharp turn and move a flower pot. The grass was so high we couldn't find the water. The park was junky and very run down. We would stay in Walmart parking lot before we would stay here again. - User1667
Needs a lot of work done to the sites. Weeds everywhere. Rock & grass sites. I didn't see any sites that looked like the photos on the website. Recommend keep driving. There is another campground right down the road. - Dixie-33 _home

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: 3 8 8 1 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Upset with price charged for site with no picnic table, no fire pit, and wet area around elect hookup. $43 was way to much for a simple place to park for 1 night with electric and no other amenities. Will not be back, and want to spread the word about this poor situation. - Upset_camper
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
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Little Patch of Heaven (formerly Holt's Campground) »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. - gatordan -

RV Park Reviews: Stayed 3 nights on group event. RV park has potential to be a gem but given few other RV choices in area, owners don't seem inclined to bring this park up to acceptable standards. Very surprised they carry the Good Sam designation? Park needs significant maintenance and updating ... particularly the bathhouse. Sites in need of leveling and other maintenance (electric post connection was loose and water pressure was very low). Our site was a Pull-in and next site over was a Back-in so although very close to next site ...on patio side we had nice green space between the next site over. Site was plenty long enough but was extremely narrow so when hugged one edge still had door steps off the gravel on other side. Gravel sites could use widening, leveling, grading and more gravel coverage. Although Bathhouse was relatively clean it was dismal - bordering on run-down with old fixtures, no water pressure, little to no hot water and shower room stall doors were old unfinished plywood sheets that looked like they came off an old decrepit barn. Unfortunately, not many other RV park options in Bardstown area so owners not motivated to improve?? - Steven Webb
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for White Acres Campground »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
