Do not attempt to come here in a motor home over 30 ft. It was very difficult getting into the park. When I was making reservations, I was told it would be no problems getting into the park. Upon arrival to the park, the woman wasn't sure if we would be able to get into the site assigned to us. She said she would have a woman who lived in her car move, and we could have her site. The bathrooms were nasty as was the shower. The park has permanent residents and a bar. It is nothing like the website presents. I would not recommend camping here. - budolemiss

Camp on the Kentucky is not a place for big rigs or 30 foot trailers. It is tough to get into and out of the gate to the park. The rain made the road and grass slick and the "gravel" road was in severe need of more gravel and pothole filling. The bathroom was poor at best. The one shower was not clean and there were no paper towels for 2 days. There was no one on site for 2 days during our stay. The Wi-Fi went down and there was no one to report the problem to. We had to write notes and call a phone number (that no one answered) to report problems. The septic at our site filled up and we could not fully dump before leaving the campground. We did have free Wi-Fi, a fire ring, and a good picnic table. We could not get a phone signal in the campground so the owner left a cordless phone outside the door in case of emergency. I will not return here. - Jayco Barbara

We really enjoyed our stay here. The owners were great and we had a choice of sites when we arrived. We took one on the end on the banks of the Kentucky River. It was a good choice. The other campers were friendly and quiet. The site was level and easy to back into. The road to the campground is windy and narrow, so big rigs should be very careful. We were only 25 minutes from the Kentucky Horse Park and that was a great place to be...out of the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended! - caskem

First, and most impt, the road in is difficult to say the least. The first 75% is a narrow 2 lane road with no shoulder. The last 25% is one lane. Two RVs cannot pass. An RV and a truck can't pass. Highly suggest that if you have a tow vehicle, unhook before you take access road and let tow vehicle lead the way. Once you get there you will be greeted by the wonderful owners/mgrs. They are proud of their campground and in many ways show it. Grounds are well kept. This is essentially 3 CGs. The sites that back up to the river (actually on hill 40' above). They are spacious and level, but the asphalt pad is short so you may have to put your rear wheels on the grass as we did. The center sites are long pull thrus. But some are far from level and you may have trouble leveling. The further away from the office, they become almost level. The sites that back up to the woods also are far from level and short. Suited for TTs. There is no cable. River and pull thrus can get satellite signals. No Verizon service. They do have a phone you can use. The dumpster was .4 miles from our MH and they don't offer pickup as they should. Beautiful pool, office, bath house and laundry was .25 miles from our MH. Despite these negatives this is a beautiful place to stay. Make your Rez far in advance since the riverfront sites are mostly taken by seasonals. Very quiet. We would definitely stay here again. - Scott Charlton

Stay here if you must, but we warned. The road leading to this park is a very narrow two lane highway. It is approximately 5 miles off the road. The last quarter mile is a one lane highway. The laundry does not dry the clothes using $1.00 worth of coins as indicated. It is not opened 24 hours. It is not a big park, but settled in next to a river, surrounded by trees which makes for nice camping. A good spot if you are not touring the area. Low water pressure. Great if you want to launch a boat, they have a launch ramp. There is barely cell phone reception, however, we did have a booster antenna and that gave us three bars. They keep referencing to use their Wi-Fi, which we would hardly ever connect to. They do have a land line phone at the office and are more than accommodating to allow use without charge. Pull through sites are curved and not friendly for 5th wheels. Using this campground to tour the area wasn’t our first choice and probably wouldn’t stay again to be coming and going. Very nice to just stay put and camp. - Badge

Great park, very well manicured. Previous posts about steep road are true, but trees are trimmed and our 40' 5th wheel made it down. Right on the river with docks available. Very nice owners, always there willing to help out in any way. Would definitely stay here again. - dj4pres

Stayed one night. This was a nice park, easy to get to. It was busy, but not noisy and did not feel crowded. Had a pool and putt putt course, and a covered area for groups- had a small arcade there. Was a good camp for kids/families. I checked out the bathrooms and they were clean, but like many others have said- maybe the AstroTurf carpet is not a great idea - wear flip flops and you'll be fine. - 72Chev

Only stayed one night but a good experience. Easy pull throughs, didn't have unhook. Lots were spacious and mostly shady. Site surface was asphalt and featured a fire ring, picnic table and patio. - Fire7C

Called ahead for a 3-day stay at campground. Requested full service and was assigned site in monthly area. Nice 'cause we have raised wooden deck instead of patio. Site backs on to fields.

Many large rigs in park - a combination of open and treed sites. Paved interior roads are easy to navigate.

Nice and quiet which we appreciate. - DCM/JMB

Not sure how this place gets rated so high. We are full timers and found this to be one of our really disappointing stops. There are lots of trees with low branches, and the parking strips are very narrow. The strip we were on was about 4" inches higher than the muddy ground and the site was 8" to 10" out of level from front to rear. We needed to use our step ladder as an extra step. The young lady working in the office is abrupt and unfriendly. Worst of all are the flies. Lots and lots of flies. Maybe because there are no sewer hookups people are dumping their grey water in the grass? We've watched two of our neighbors do it. The other issue is the dog droppings. They're almost as thick as the flies. We've watched neighbors walk their dogs in empty spaces and not pick up after them. Most of the tenants seem to be folks that are using the horse facilities. They apparently don't pay any attention to the agreement they signed when they checked in. Bring extra steps, bug lights, ground covers, and empty tanks if you come. - Almost There

The back-in sites here are excellent but I give it an 8 because wifi was very poor and there is no sewer. Taking showers in their shower room saves on the grey water situation. All sites are level and are conveniently located to the well-stocked store and refreshing swimming pool. Making reservations through Reserve America worked well. - exceltraveler

We stopped here as an overnight spot. We have a 38 foot RV and could not get level in the full hookup spot we were assigned. It was supposed to be one of the more level spots in the campground. The office assisted us and eventually we found a spot in the primitive electric area with 30 amp service. If you have a larger motor home, this is NOT the campground for you. That said, there are lovely fields for walking dogs and it is well located and visually appealing. - Dapper

This is a very crowded park. Sites are very close together and there is no where to park you tow vehicle or your toad if you have a motorhome. The site(s) we stayed on where just barely big enough for our 40 foot motorhome and the front end was right on the street. Parking is difficult due to the amount of tow vehicles parked on the sides of the road (both sides). Also, our site was so soft our jacks in the rear sunk down 12" in the gravel. Boards were not much help.

When you arrive, there is a gentlemen that insists on "parking" you. I don't really want someone showing me where and how to park my rig, so I just had to ignore him which he didn't like. I know my rig, where it needs to be on the site, etc., and really don't like someone telling me I'm back too far, or I need to get closer to the utilities etc., when they don't realize I have to be able to open my basement doors.

Overall, it's a decent campground, but there are others so much better so we most likely won't be back. It's just way to crowded and close together for my tastes. - sixtires58

Nice park with a view of a pond. Pool was warm and clean. Staff friendly & helpful. - Bud H

This is a lovely park. It is huge, but plenty of space for everyone. It has fishing, basketball court, a wonderful pavilion, pool, laundry, etc.
Our site was backed up to a green lagoon - very quiet and private. - W Davidson

Looks like at one time it was a nice park, sadly run down and mostly 'permanent' residents now. Very nice staff, looks like they are doing what they can. - Kbtx

We were here over the Fourth of July weekend so we tried to take that into consideration, but there were some things we couldn't overlook. First of all, the staff was wonderful and couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. They stopped by our site several times. Unfortunately the actual campground itself was in need of some desperate repairs. Across from our site was an old shower house (?) with a port-a-potty in front. The shower house was inoperable so the port-a-potty was the only bathroom for the 30+ people on our end of the camp site. In order to use a sink you had to walk all the way to the entrance. Our first night we were awoken at 11:00 by a chainsaw one of the other campers was using to cut their firewood and our next door neighbors were setting off mortar fireworks that were raining down on our RV. There were cars parked EVERYWHERE and the tent site below us kept driving their truck through our site and parking it next to our chairs. The second night wasn't quite as eventful. The woman next door was walking around without her pants on and they also had visitors so there were at least a dozen people crammed on one site. If you need a place to stay near Nicholasville then this is pretty much the only option, but I would try to stay somewhere else if possible. - coldwaterconch

I hate to be totally negative so, the 50 amp service was good. Wi-Fi was okay, but charged for each day. Hookups on wrong side of RV. Park Very run down. Lots were part grass part large rocks. Lots of old, I mean, Old trailers. We had reserved 5 days, when checking in changed that to 2. After 1 night, we left, they did refund the 2nd day lot rental. Staff was friendly. Would not camp here again - dj4pres

This is a nice campground about 10 miles outside of Frankfort KY. Initial impressions were that the grounds were somewhat "aged" but after paying and heading to the site, the actual grounds are very nice. They are back quite a bit from the office and well maintained, quiet and pleasant. Our only issue was that the electric spiked high voltage every evening around 7:00. This caused our EMS to shut down the electric to our coach and start the inverter to protect our system. The length of time varied each day. We had good Verizon cell and air card coverage. The owners were very pleasant. We would return if in the area. - Gypsy Turtles

Rate reflects a weekly rate. This is a gem located north of Frankfort on the Kentucky River at the mouth of the Elkhorn Creek. Entry can be misleading as you cross a single-lane bridge on pavement and then transition to gravel. The area around the office and the storage area are a bit unkempt, but as you are escorted to your site you round the bend and see a beautiful, unspoiled meadow. All roads are gravel and single lane but courtesy makes traversing them no problem. We requested a site for our satellite and had no problem connecting. However, many sites are in the shade so be sure to request an open site if that is important to you. The full-hook-up sites have many seasonals but their campsites are neat. The hook-ups are conveniently located and easily accessed. The sites are gravel surrounded with grass. This is not a resort but if you like a state park atmosphere with full hook-ups, you'll enjoy Still Waters. There are also two primitive areas and water/electric only sites available for RVs and tents with a dump station on the grounds. There are no trains, no highway noises, no city lights. Frisbee golf,fishing, hiking, volleyball and a lots of wide open spaces for the kids to run are located on the grounds as well as canoe rentals available at the concession in the campground. Probably could be busy/zoo on a summer/holiday weekend or if there's a company picnic on the grounds, but during the week it is an oasis. Located about 10 miles north of Frankfort, Still Waters is close enough to access all the sightseeing available in the area. Would definitely return again. - Here4Now

Little crowded, several permanent RVs there. Little loud after midnight. Had to pay $10.00 gate card deposit that you get back when leave. We left on Sunday Morning after 8:00 a.m. And no one was on duty to return card and retrieve the $10.00. I left card and my card asking to mail my $10.00, which they did. I also paid $10.00 extra for the pull thru lot, which was in a curve with lots behind you. - Sissy Wommack

We stayed here for our visit to the wonderful Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill just 9 miles away. The park is well-maintained. It is on the cliffs over looking Lake Harrington, and crammed full of seasonal guests. We arrived late in the day and got a back-in spot that was a little short for our 30 feet, but we parked at an angle and were able to keep our nose off the road. There is a marina a short walk down the road. We swam our dog there. We were surprised to see the sign saying that the marina charges for launching kayaks and canoes as well as power boats. That area of Kentucky has mostly narrow windy roads, and the road into this campground is no exception. - ShoreXplorers

This park is under new ownership and the new owners will be adding stronger Wi-Fi and cable TV next year. It's in the hills, on terraced sites and quiet. Lots of seasonals stay here as the marina is very close. A beautiful, man-made lake setting. Cell phone service is spotty due to the mountains. TV reception was good for our rig, as was the internet. If I lived closer I'd look into a seasonal site here. Nice place with friendly staff. We were here for a family reunion so spent several nights. - diamondg
