After a major crisis, the owners went above, and beyond to help us. Amazing place and would stay again.

Looking down from our site. We couldn't use the bathrooms because it was too slippery.

We have stayed at this KOA many times over the years passing through. The sites are gravel and many not level. It is also hilly and very close to the interstate. We made an online reservation this time paying more for a concrete patio site. We pulled in late after dark and saw ice and snow covering the entire campground. We should have backed up and left but it was already late. The roads were not treated with anything. The overnight temperatures were well below zero and in the low 20's. We attempted to reach the office and owner early in the morning and didn't receive a response. We went to the office in the morning to ask if they were going to treat the roads so we could be on our way. The co-owner stated he wasn't going to treat the roads and he would wait until the snow and ice melted. Several people were outside the office and said they weren't pleased that the roads hadn't been treated either. We were able to get out of the campground being very cautious. Would not recommend staying here. The campground should have called us to tell us about the conditions of the road.

Disclaimer: This was our first stay with KOA so we expected it to be like other campgrounds we have stayed in. We stayed in a Kamping Kabin. (KK1) Pros: It was clean, easy to check-in after hours, and offered plenty of things to do for those staying more than one night. Cons: i40 was like twenty steps from my pillow. ProTip: If you are looking to stay somewhere quick overnight, this is great. However, if you are looking to experience "the great outdoors" I would suggest something different. You can actually stay in a decent hotel with a private bathroom for what we paid to stay in the Kamping Kabin.

After a full day on the road, all I can say is "hell yes." This KOA was our first stop on a two-week trip and it couldn't have been more cozy. Not only are KOAs cheap for tent camping, but they are really nice. Ummm...this one has a pool. That is freaking amazing. It was chilly and a perfect match for the warm summertime heat. We swam and loved every bit of it. The campsite itself was nicely outfitted. Only a tiny bit of trash to be spotted, but nothing to really attract critters. Biggest downside was the juxtaposition to the highway. It's LOUD. Just be warned. I sleep fine through that kind of noise, but if you're a light sleeper you may have some issues. I'd camp here again in a heartbeat. Great spot. Thanks, KOA!

Can't wait to come back!!

It's a sunburn ride away from Woodlawn...I definitely got that today! Our friends ordered BBQ sandwiches with slaw. No one offered them napkins, BUT I am an always be prepared kinda lady and had Charmin wet wipes in our tour pack. Ya never know! The BBQ, AMAZING! It always is. There is a campground/RV park in behind the bar and General Store. Very clean and well maintained. I've stayed there a couple of nights in the past. I've been told that on Tuesday's they have an amazing steak dinner. I've never been there for that, but I'm looking forward very much to trying it soon. Of course, in my Yelp Elite fashion, I will update my review!

The owner Mary was very accommodating to our family and always very warm and welcoming when we stopped in the store. All the campers were the same. We were tent camping but Mary let us set up in front of a rental camper so we could use the electric to charge to boat and she was even gave us access to the camper to use the restroom and wash our dishes. She ever notified us that a neighboring camper was putting their camper up for sale and was just what we were looking for. We are now considering buying the camper and having a place up there of our own.

However, I called "Mr. Bill" with a question and we ended up speaking on the phone for 10 minutes about several things. He was so friendly and personable. I met his wife when she came in to write me a receipt. She was also extremely friendly and we chatted for some time. The most amazing thing is that the lobby is left open and unlocked. It's like a little living room with 2 large w/d for guests and a clean bathroom with a shower. We will definitely be staying there when husband has to work in the Union City area.

Loved this place! What a sweet little campground…read more This campground is right next to the interstate, and so a very convenient spot to stay on the road. We made a reservation that day (it seemed pretty packed early October so we got the last available spot). The staff here were very friendly, and we didn't have to pay until we arrived at the site. It was so affordable! With a Good Sam discount, our one night stay amounted to just ~$34! We were very happy with the price, which included full hook-ups (+ cable TV), a shower house, and a swimming pool (? I think). The next morning, we had our propane filled at that site and left. The owners here were very thoughtful and organized. Thought the campground wasn't very big, when we drove in, the owner had us follow her in her golf cart so we knew exactly where to pull in and how to park our extra truck. Will come back again!

Perfect spot to stay overnight. Very conveniently located to Downtown Paducah, gas station and…read morehighway. The staff here is top notch; everyone has a great attitude. They are dog friendly and have a dog park with poop bags. The office and tv room, with great a/c and fan and lots of dvds and books is perfect. The bathrooms are immaculate but the showers are tiny, i'm 5'6" size 4, I felt cramped, use the handicap bathroom for a shower. The spots are level on packed rock drive thrus. I'd give Duck Creek RV Park 5 stars if there were trees. Otherwise, this is a great RV park.

Highly recommend getting the combined museum and Loretta Lynn's (LL) house tour ticket. Our tour guide didn't seem very excited. My hubby thought she wasn't feeling well. But I could see how the right guide could take the tour to the next level. A replica of LLs old KY home is furnished with personal items, like her parents shoes. Very endearing. A replica of her tour bus is inside the museum, and you can walk through it. The actual bus is in the parking lot of the museum. The museum is quite the gem. So many beautiful gowns, and memorabilia from LL long career, as well as many other artists. Growing up, my dad would play guitar and sing Kaw-liga, so the wooden statues brought that happy memory up. Highly recommend!

There is a replica model of her Kentucky home. You get a lower level tour of her mansion, and for a certain price an opportunity to walk through her museum. Lots of memorabilia covering every aspect of her life. Including displays and authentic items from her tour and the movie Coal Miners Daughter. The museum is a little overwhelming and doesn't always flow well. The highlight for me is the actual jeep used in the movie Coal Miners Daughter. One note...you do not get to visit her graveside. Certainly understandable but a little disappointing. Any country music fan needs to visit the Loretta Lynn ranch, any fan will be pleased and blessed to visit
