This is soooo frustrating. This park has been "closed for renovations" for close to two years!!!…read more They were supposed to have had the renovations complete a year ago and still not a peep on a realistic estimate as to when they will be open!!! It would be nice if they had a better communication strategy and would get the darn thing open!!! Grrr.

We selected this campground since it was in the center of the Bourbon Trail. We love to stay at…read morestate campgrounds BUT we were surprised by its condition. No one greets you when checking in. You just have to find your spot. The sites are very close together. The bathrooms are outdated, dark, and in need of repair. Our site was littered with cigarette butts. This campground needs some serious TLC to be ranked as one of the top five state campgrounds. The one good thing is that the water in the showers was hot!

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.

I really like the little city of Bardstown! I live in Louisville, and I'm born and raised Kentucky,…read moreso I'm very familiar with the state. It's absolutely beautiful, and Bardstown is no exception. The downtown area is so cute! It's lined with shops, bars, and restaurants, and it's extremely walkable. It's a great place to visit for a day trip. There's plenty to do, and because it's small, it can all be done in a day or weekend, so you won't feel like you're missing anything. Outside of the downtown area you'll still find lots of fun stuff to experience, like My Old Kentucky Home State Park, multiple museums, historic sites, and of course - distilleries! If you're looking for a fun place to visit, the city of Bardstown is a great one!

This was my favorite campground so far. I know, I say that every time. What I loved so much about…read morethis one was the view of the lake. Some of the sites were literally steps away from Nolin River Lake. The lake itself is small, but don't let that fool you, it's gorgeous. We decided to go here the Monday before the weekend and there were several lakeside spots available, but by the time we pulled the trigger and actually booked, two days later there weren't any lakeside sites available. We still booked site B6, which was about 6 spots uphill, away from the lake. We still had a distant view of the lake, but the sites in between were a bit annoying. People need to learn camping etiquette... don't walk through people's sites as shortcuts, it's rude. That's not really the fault of the campground though, but speaking of rude... the camp host was a grumpy asshole. The wife wasn't so much, but dude needs to go retire... somewhere up north. I ask questions to figure things out... and here's what I found out: cancellations are no penalty within 24 hours, so those spots that weren't available on Wednesday, were suddenly available on Friday. Too bad we were already set up on Thursday night. Again, rude people! There isn't the usual reservation fee, like there is at other campgrounds. This campground is government run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District... what that exactly means or what difference it is from State Parks, I'm not exactly sure. Many of the sites were shaded, mostly by pine trees. There was only one concrete pad though, the rest were gravel. Friday we were one of the only ones there at the campground, so we explored, walked down one of the secluded primitive sites and cast our fishing poles. I also loved that they have a late check out. Not all of the campers took advantage of that, so we were one of the only ones left around noon on Sunday, checkout day. There are several other campgrounds in the area, including Wax and Nolin River State Park campgrounds. We drove around those campgrounds, and they too had gorgeous sites. If you've not been to Nolin River Lake and like to boat or camp, I highly recommend planning a trip to the Cub Run area.

It has electric/water sites and primitive camping sites. On our last day there, Mr Brown actually came to our camp site multiple times to assist us with getting a camping pass for my disabled husband. They went above and beyond to make sure that our stay at the camp ground was nothing less than perfect. I hope to see them back again next year, as we will be returning. Thanks again Mr and Mrs Brown!!!

I used to come to Otter Creek when I was younger and it is such a beautiful area, but it has not…read morebeen well maintained as of recent. I came to hike last weekend and opted for the valley overlook trail. It seemed as though no one had hiked it in weeks with how many cob webs I walked through lol. It was EXTREMELY overgrown to the point that I stopped and considered just going back instead of finishing the loop multiple times. There were a good amount of trees that I had to climb over/under as well. I was wearing leggings and long socks (on me for not wearing a better material, but I got these leaves stuck all over my legs and now have chigger bites everywhere after wading through an overgrown field. Safe to say I won't be back anytime soon.

There are water and dirt/sand play spaces, so may want to pack extra clothes for the ride home. There are plenty of paved or gravel paths as well as backcountry trails. Pack a lunch and stay all day! If you're walking the giants path, there is often a snow cone truck parked near Mama Loumari on the weekends. They also offer plenty of family events, so be sure to check the calendar. It is $15 per car to enter or $75 for an annual pass. We find it totally worth the pass as a family who drives from Louisville. Leashed dogs are welcome. Remember to bring your bags to clean up after them :)

Catching up on an overlooked review for the annual Indigenous Peoples Powwow held at Bernheim in…read more2025. The scheduled 2026 Powwow was cancelled due to weather event. Hoping this will still be rescheduled for this year or at the very least that it will return in 2027. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and being exposed to a special cultural event. Tribes from across the nation were on site. We had several opportunities to interact with various members of the tribes in attendance and questions were welcomed and answered. I believe members as far away as North Dakota had traveled here to participate. The beading and decorative embroidery on the clothing was explained. These are NOT costumes, which is terminology that is considered an insult. It was explained regarding the difference in that these are their clothes and not some sort of dress up play acting session. The drumming and dancing was also explained. We were also able to try fry bread and several other food items, which was an epic experience to have at least a hinting glimpse into another culture. Looking forward to attending future powwows.
