We love this camp ground. It's a hidden gem off of 127 in Frankfort. Just minutes from the capital…read morebuilding and Buffalo Trace Distillery. It's nestled back into nature and right on the Kentucky River of course. We are full timers and have been living here for 4 months and we are going to be sad to leave. The campground is filled with everything you need. There's an awesome common room with tables a fridge stove TV/Cable also A WiFi Cafe (just ask for password) and laundry room. So many things all there for your use. There's also an awesome men's and womens restroom that they just redid the floors in and are now painting! Two showers each is very convenient. If you want a fire pit by your camper just ask! Most people here have their own. You may not be parked on the river. But it's just. Short walk and benches are available for enjoying the views. It's a very short walk to the water from anywhere in the camp. Most of the campers here are share holders and only come for the weekends so during the week it's very quite and relaxing. Many weekends there have been live bands and so many other fun activities going on! Every is usually friendly and polite. Don't forget to wave at your neighbors! Charles, Rus, and another gentleman (sorry I forgot your name) do an amazing job to accommodate you during your stay and work hard to make the campground what it is. Don't forget the office where you'll check in and such has items available for sale from sweets to t shirts.

Discovered this nice little Campground in Frankfort this weekend. Never knew this place existed…read more Quite little get away about 10 minutes off the interstate. No cell service down at the river which is just fine. Beautiful view of the Kentucky river and a great place for kids to just play and be kids. They have a wonderful meeting room that is good for family gatherings. Recommend this camp grounds if you have an RV and are wanting to get away for a few days.

Right at an hour away from Lexington, I think I've found my favorite nearby campground. My favorite…read morething about it is the spacious sites. I will mention that on the booking map it seemed like the campground was near the water, but we didn't see the water. Maybe in the fall, after the foliage falls, then you might be able to see it. When you turn into the State Park, you don't check-in at the first place, I think that's just a State Park office. Once you turn into the campground, that's where you check-in. Just like every other Kentucky State Park, you book online at Reserve America. You have to book at least 24 hours in advance though. We checked in on Friday and didn't have any plans. You can rent boats at the marina, which is about 15 minutes away. They didn't have any available the Saturday that we were there...so, do be sure to plan ahead. There is a boat ramp just past the campground entrance, just a couple of minutes away. The RV sites are graveled and each includes a firepit and picnic table. I did see a few sites with sewer hookups, but just like several other state parks, those sites are very scarce. There is a section for primitive camping and those sites were nice, wooded and secluded. There is a section for horse camp. Those RV sites are pull through. They weren't many people or horses in that section. Although the sites in our section were full to capacity, I never heard our neighbors from inside. There also wasn't very many kids or golf carts. The hiking trails are accessible from the campground, which was an added perk. Even though the summer temperature is at seasonal highs, the trails are wooded and shaded and the temperature and climate were tolerable enough for us to go on an evening hike.

Nice state campground. I was not happy with the boat…read morelaunch.... litter all over really people you can't throw your trash away!! Keep your state beautiful!

Dark and remote, tricky roads, sewage, garbage, resident campers, golf cart traffic and poor…read moreplanning/managing. The nice thing about this campground is that it's remote and very far from interstate noise. It is dark at night to allow good stargazing. We saw the Milky Way through 7X binoculars and heard a huge pack of coyotes howling not far away. Tricky roads: The road is just wide enough for a camper and an almost 180° turn coming from the Worthville direction. I had to back up onto the main road to get a wider swing with our 40' Solitude so the tires wouldn't drop off the side. There is no sign at the main road to let you know there is a campground on the one lane road you're taking your huge camper down with possibility there may not be place to turn around if not. Couldn't verify with a satellite image as there was no cell service. Luckily someone came by and we asked and found out it really was back there. Then the one lane bridge is barely wide enough for a camper. May have had about 4" on each side of our Solitude to the guard rails. Then another sharp turn just before the campground. Sewage: The full hook-up at our site was horrible. I don't know if the plumbing didn't have enough fall or just backed up. Luckily I dumped our gray water a few days in, noticed it stop draining and backing up the hose so I dumped the night before so it could settle and not have to wait when trying to leave. Although when I did unhook when leaving, the sewer did back up into our site causing a very unhealthy and unsanitary condition as there was no plug to cap off the sewer. I noticed at a site nearby that the hookup there was broken off. Trash: There is no trash pickup at the sites. When I asked I was told there were dumpsters back in the resident area but there was a gate operated by a code or pass that we didn't have and we could drive it back there. They would let us in but this seemed ridiculous to me. I asked if we left and the office wasn't open to let us in we'd have to leave it at the site and she said "well then I guess we'd have to pick it up". Residents: There are people living here so if that bothers you, now you know. Golf car traffic: Golf carts are running almost non-stop here so your vehicle will be covered in dust by the time you leave. Bring something to at least wash your windows prior to leaving. Difficulty factor increased navigating tricky roads with low visibility through dust. Many of the golf cart drivers have the steering wheel in one hand and a beer in the other even while taking their kids trick or treating through the campground in October. Poor management: It appears that management changes often here. Not sure if it keeps getting sold or just managers changing. All of the above except the roads themselves could be solved if the manager of the facility would want to make it better. We won't go back though regardless.

First off, we picked this campground because the price was extremely reasonable. I was traveling…read moreacross country with a friend and her kids and my kids in my C class rv, towing a jeep and had no issues navigating through the park. This was a clean campground with plenty for kids to do. The pool was very clean and I saw the lifeguard check the chemicals multiple times. For adults, theres a nice little bar. Definitely no complaints there! But, what stood out for my friend and I, was the exceptional customer service. And while I won't go into details, we found ourselves in a situation and the owners went way above and beyond to help us out! We couldn't be any more grateful for their kindness to us strangers! I told my husband I would definitely like to return for a longer stay, for that alone! If the owners see this, again, thank you so much for your help, we truly appreciate it! Can't wait to return!

There are plenty of places around the park to just sit and enjoy a book. Some sites offer fires, but ours didn't. There are two laundry locations, but they only have a few washers and dryers. That's not enough when the park has 230 sites. Expect to wait for one to open. You do have a picnic table, but it's time to repair them. They did add in their flyer to call if you have an issue with your picnic table. You mow and clean up your site after someone stays, so you should already see any table issues. When I get to a site I've already spent many hours driving and don't want to call with any issues. I want to set up, relax, and enjoy the amenities. The property is very clean and well managed. They have an employee take you to your site and assist you in pulling in. We would definitely stay here again!!
