You are totally off the grid at this campground, no tv, cell or wifi. Your drive is through narrow, curvy roads. You think there is a mistake on your GPS and it appears on the right. Small park. The general store was not open during our stay. - Texas Gals

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 did Lexington, Bardstown, and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail from this staging point. Nicest campground we have stayed at in the past 30 days and 3200 miles of travel. This could be a destination camping spot. Several seasonal campers have already found it. Is literally down in a hollow. Three camp sites wide and about 3/4s of a mile long. Very well maintained and staff was exceptionally helpful. River right below the campground. High bluffs with a waterfall. Water access for boats and kayaks. Coming down Hwy 127 gps will put you onto a road which is marked "no RVs on this road" Heed the sign. Do not make the turn. Go one more road to the south. The gps designated road is just wide enough for one vehicle. No cell service, but wifi was free and worked fairly well for a camp ground. - Mike from Bama

We stopped here for one night after some touring along the "Bourbon Trail". This park is a little off the beaten path but along a beautiful drive to get to the park. The owners are very friendly and attentive. The park is gated. We were here a bit off season in early April so there were few overnighters but it seemed there were several snowbirds as well as empty units used by locals on the weekends, perhaps. The water and electric at our site were a bit far apart from each other for our 22 foot motorhome but we managed. We very much liked our site and the owners of this park. There is a laundry facility but I didn't use it or the bathrooms. I noted there were two washers and two dryers. The ladies' room had two toilet stalls and 3 shower stalls and was kept very clean. - Gawa

Our return visit to Cummins Ferry did not disappoint. This is a well maintained facility with super-friendly owners on site. We visited in the off-season, and found a few dozen long term campers settled in for the winter. All were friendly and kept their sites neat and tidy. Most sites offer full hook-ups. The center pull thru sites are a bit more spacious than those on the side. The campground is located at the bottom of the palisade cliffs, right against the Kentucky River. Yeah, it's a steep downhill to get here, but nothing you can't handle. Zero Verizon cell service in camp, but did get a dozen over the air TV stations. A small camp store has basic provisions. This is a secured property with key card entry, and I felt quite safe here. - Flying Mantis

Very nice reception upon arrival...an older campground. No escort, but found the site on our own. Don't be discouraged getting off I-64 and driving about 5 miles to the campground. The campground has quite a few "semi- and permanent residents set up. We got one that had a patio, but the campground sites are a bit close. Had to jockey around to get our 32' 5th wheel into the site #57. Site 57 looked to be one of those semi-permanent sites. Campfire ring across the road, tree and raised patio on our site were the hazards to watch for. Bathrooms were nice, but could use some updating. - 66 Mustang

We spent several nights in this campground on our way to the east coast and because we enjoyed it so much, we spent two nights there on our way back. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the setting is lovely. There were a lot of campers there and I was concerned about the noise level but it was very quiet. The bathrooms are maybe the nicest I've seen. We didn't have full hookups, only electric and water, and the wifi was pretty weak but we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again plus we really enjoyed visiting the distilleries! - LeoTraveler

We really like this park, the owner lives on site and is a very gracious host. Our site was large enough for our 40+ feet with our Jeep parked across the front. There was a fire ring, a patio and a table. The site was and most of the sites were level. There are a number of sites along the creek. It was a flowing creek, not a bog. The pool was nice, we got a small number of OTA Channels. My only complaint and for many it would not be, is that there are some fairly bright street lights, one of which illuminated the patio side of our site very nicely and is way too bright. Decided not to bother with a fire basically because of this. Would we stay here again if visiting Frankfort? Yes. - blues traveler

This campground is nice, the roads are paved and the sites are pretty widely spaced. Our site was very level, did not need any blocks at all. The grass is a little thin on the shady sites and some had straw to cover the dirt/mud. We did not use the fire ring but it was very unlevel so cooking may have been difficult. Okay for a campfire though. We did not use the bathhouse but I checked it out: clean and huge, with a separate private little space for dressing outside the shower stall. There are 4 dump stations and leaving on a Sunday morning we had to wait only about two minutes. Even the dump station area was clean.

It was very quiet during the week and naturally a bit more noisy on the weekend (which is $2/nite more) but everyone was respectful of the 11:00 quiet time rule. We were with a group and had the pavilion for the whole time, so you might want to avoid the sites that border the pavilion: you will have people cutting through and a crowd right outside. We were all together so it was okay for us. They could have used a few more trash cans around, we had to walk to the bathhouse to dispose of our dog poop. But there was no litter around, the whole park was very clean. - janci

Nice park. Just staying overnight so not exploring nearby areas. My site was not quite level and had to use boards to keep front wheels from coming off the ground. Easy access from interstate highway. - Randy & Sharon

Nice enough place to stay for an overnight or 2. Back in asphalt and grass sites . Electric (30/50) and water only. There are 2 large dump stations but this is a busy place. Discounts to Horse Park if you stay here. Sites are not close to level. You need blocks. Store and all amenities including pool and tennis courts. Would stay again. - teepee51

We stopped here after getting caught in a three-hour shutdown of I-75. Got a great rate of approx. $36. Park is unusual since most of it is gravel: the roads, the sites, everywhere. There are some upgraded sites with patios, extra large picnic tables, some greenery and two person gliders. Park electric, water, and sewer hook-up were in good condition. Didn't try the wifi since the park was pretty full. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice and in top notch condition. People in the office were very nice and guided us to our site. There were some seasonals near the back, but were in good enough condition that the theme song from "Sanford & Son" didn't immediately start playing in my head. While not a picturesque park, it would be a good base for touring the local area. - 4forsmores

Rate was for a pull thru site on crushed stone, no grass, no fire ring, very poor WiFi and no cable TV. We did have a picnic table and were near the exit so that was good. The park is convenient to I-75 but the roads getting to it could have been re-paved and widened. The interior roads should be paved. Good place for convenience but would not want to stay for any length of time. People were helpful at check-in and guided us to our site which was nice. - DIXIEDUALLY2013

We stayed in a premium pull-thru. Spacing was a little close, but had a concrete patio pad and very nice picnic table and chairs. Pull-thrus don't have fire rings but was OK for us. - 5er_MKS

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
