The campground is normally well manicured, a genuine camping experience with the amenities of a bath house and certain sites having electric and water. The only thing I could dock stars for (but figure it's part of camping anyway), would be the bath house. The sheer amount of spiders and large insects lingering around at all hours is insane, especially when showering or dropping the deuce, as 8 legs come hauling ass your way! The campground has become increasingly packed on weekends with many of the sites being booked months in advance. That's fine by us. Our schedule allows us to be off while the majority of the workforce is hard at it. We absolutely love being at the campground through the week, especially while school is in session. This allows us to sometimes be the only campers in the area and the waters of Nolin lake to be like glass. The campsites vary in length and layout as well as some that offer electric and water. They all have a picnic table, lantern hook and a fire ring with grill top. Just bring a tent and some chairs, don't forget the graham crackers, chocolate and the marshmallows and make memories that you and your family will cherish forever. You will see plenty of deer and wild turkey in the area throughout the year. Many of the sites have lakefront footage as well, allowing you or loved ones to wet a line and maybe catch dinner for the evening. Hope your family enjoys your stay as much as mine, Happy Camping!

A couple years later my parents upgraded to a lake house, and they come down here almost every weekend (Even in the winter!!) I try to make it out here at least a couple times a year and it's always a fun time. The lake is gigantic and absolutely beautiful to cruise on. The surrounding neighborhoods have lovely homes and friendly people. All of the facilities that I have visited at this state park have always felt clean and nice. I could easily recommend this park to anyone. It is way out in the country off of the highway, but it is well worth it for a relaxing weekend in the sun!

Great little campground not too far from Mammoth Cave national park. They have electric and…read moreprimitive camp sites. The campground is not that big, with one bathhouse and a playground. There is a dump station with 2 sites. The reservation check in has ice and fire wood, but it's hit or miss if someone is there to help you. We never even officially checked in because no one was there. We stayed on electric site #2 and it was perfectly shaded and quiet. The sites are nice and level with large spaces for games, hammocks, dogs, etc. Just outside the campground is the beach, park office and lake access for boats. The beach is small, but maintained well. We went on a 95+ degree day and the lake water felt like bath water, it was so warm. The lake was busy with a lots of boats and lots of beach goers. The park is pretty small, it mostly encompasses the lake, and there is not much around there. It take 40 min to get to the interstate and close to an hour to reach Mammoth Cave.

Car camping spot comes with a picnic table , fire pit, lantern pole, and small area to place items. Shower and bathroom areas are clean and there was never a wait for use. Trash can and fire wood on site at entrance to the camp grounds. Be prepared with bug spray and to check yourself and little ones for ticks. We had a raccoon visitor. If tent camping place food in car overnight if possible. I'm surprised no one reviewed the beach area on Yelp. It was hard to find. We drove a ways to Nolin State Park public beach. Small area but just right if you're looking for sun, sand, and water. There is a concession stand that was open from 1-7 pm. I thought that was brilliant and convenient. Overall wonderful experience! We would return.

Somehow we were missing our water hose and Rick offered to loan us his to fill up our tank AND he offered to pick one up at WalMart that night (we gave him money, of course). If you follow my camping adventures, you know that I'm not usually fond of camp hosts. Seriously, I've run into a few doozies in my days. We arrived on a Saturday in May and the RV sites with hookups were full, but we scored a spacious primitive site big enough for our RV AND truck. The primitive sites are was somewhat wooded and private, but the spots on both sides of us were empty, which gave an illusion that it was somewhat private. We loved this campground and the lake so much, we stayed an extra night and all day the next day, Monday. Our neighbor said that the hosts are lenient on weekdays unless someone has the site booked, they don't mind if we check out later. This time, on Sunday, people were checking out and there were plenty of sites available with water and electric hookups. We had a phenomenal site this time, #51 but #52 was better. Also, the campground favorite is apparently #60, but I wouldn't recommend it due to the location being in the path of the boats and trucks using the ramp. Both 51 and 52 were paved black top, which made the rain aftermath not that bad either. THE LAKE!!! I fell in love with Rough River Lake. That's right, move over Nolin River Lake, this holds my title this year. I did hate that you can't swim near the dock... or anywhere around the campground. There's plenty of spots that would be accessible, but there are signs specifically posted 'NO SWIMMING'. The state park is pretty close by though and there is a beach there, if you must get your swim on. Otherwise, fishing is the water activity going on at this campground. There isn't hardly anything close, so come stocked up. The state park lodge has a restaurant and there is a restaurant called 'The Dam', but I wouldn't recommend either one. Robby's Quick Stop about five miles away with basic items in addition to fishing bait. It's about a two hour drive from Lexington, well worth every minutes worth of commute.

I see staff maintaining the gravel roads that give way to the heavy rains and they make sure the lots are safe. If you're not happy with the site they will find you another one. It's always full during the weekends. There's a short lull and then we get new neighbors sometimes the very same day the last folks left within an hour or so! Beautiful large green area for your dogs to explore. Has large swimming pool, basketball hoop, and put put. Only one laundry facility. It uses CSC Go. You'll see lots of deers when entering or leaving the park so slow down. Glasgow or Bowling Green are your go-to for big stores shopping or groceries about 15-30 minutes away. We got this campsite booked coming back this way again. We'll be back for sure!

Checkin is easy and straight forward, they had us find our own site and call back with number. We found a nice backin, full hookup site in the shade with open space to one side of us. Not all sites have 50 amp, some are 30 amp only, which is not a problem with us, we know how to play the don't have multiple power draws on at the same time game. The park itself was quiet, probably most campers out for the day seeing the sites close by. The park seemed well cared for, newly mowed. It's not a real large park, the long term are separated from those passing through. The laundry in the park was more expensive per load than what is charged in other Thousand Trails Parks, so we waited until our next location. We noticed the pool being filled for the season and that the Mini Golf had be redone. What makes this park special is the proximity to the National Park. The Mammoth Cave, Diamond Cave, multiple hiking and biking trails close by. One trail can be picked up on the main road in front of Diamond Cavern entrance. The trail will take you to a mammoth Cave. We road our bikes on the trail, be prepared for a bit of of a climb, the return is lots of fun with all the downhill. This campground is also close to other caves as well as outdoor activities. We regret we did not schedule more time to explore the area.

The thrill of flying through the tree tops had us all beaming with excitement. 5 lines in total, all at varying heights and distances sent smiles to all our faces.
