    The most secluded sites... in section C
    Heather P.

    This campground is in Southern Kentucky, about two hours from Lexington and overlooks Nolin River Lake. It's a COE (Corp Of Engineer) campground, with 167 reservable campsites. The view of the lake from the lakeside sites are amazing. The bad thing about the closest sites to the lake, is that those are nonelectric/water sites. I did see a couple of lakeside site with hookups in section D, which was the section where the beach area is. Section D seems like an entire different campground. It's the section closest to the marina. We walked to the marina, which was about a mile and a half from our loop, but it was a short walk from section D. I'm so glad that we didn't reserve a pontoon there though. They looked quite crappy, I would be too afraid that it would breakdown. We stayed in loop A on a Thursday through Sunday in last August and it was pretty much dead. Thursday and Friday there were only about ten campers in the entire campground. Saturday the pace picked up a bit. It still wasn't very busy at all, but maybe that was just the time of the season that we were there. Section C has the most private sites. It's just the lake, one row of primitive sites, the road and the wooded area. Because of the trees, there really wasn't a view of the lake from that section though. Maybe in the fall, when the leaves disappear, you might have a better view of the lake from that section C. Each site has a fire pit, picnic table, and extra taller table/serving area. The biggest surprise was that weeds infested the gravel pads. I would think that they would spray weed killer or something to keep the sites looking better. The sites were pretty spacious though, so maybe that would be too much to maintain. Nolin River Lake is my favorite lake in Kentucky and luckily there are several COE campgrounds that surround it. NRL is 5,795-acres, so it's not huge, but not too small either. We stayed in Cub Run at Dog Creek Campground last year. Even though I rated these both four stars, I personally I like Dog Creek better. There was more things to do in the area and the campground was maintained a bit better.

    Do not rent boats from this place. We got scammed! Website claimed to have "luxury" pontoon for…read morerent. I took the bait as my whole family was coming in for Labor Day weekend. $300 for one day, non refundable. Let me say not only was I disappointed, I was totally embarrassed to show this boat to my family. Seats with major damage and taped with duct tape. Dirty seats, nasty carpets. A real luxury boat! Further, upon returning the boat they claimed we ruined the prop (we did not). Another $300 ! In trying to negotiate with the manager and the owner, both proceeded to yell at me because I questioned both the condition of the boat and this "ruined" prop. I'm angry but have no recourse. Do not do business with these folks.you WILL regret it. I wish I could post pictures of this boat...a real disaster!

    This place was nothing but friendly, accommodating and a great place to stay for us! The first…read morecabin they put us in had some sewer issues. Without mussing a beat they moved us to an even better one, even bringing us the keys and hdlpiing us to move. We rented a pontoon boat for the day (8 a.m to 5 p.m), and the girl who works at the marina in charge of renting them checked and re-checked to make sure our tank was full and it was perfect for us. We requested a pizza be ready by the time we got back and as soon as we pulled in it was put in the oven, fresh and hot and delicious by the time we were ready to head to our cabin. Is it a 5 star hotel? No....but a quaint, very nice, rustic cabin. The cabins were clean, the staff friendly and went above and beyond for us. I'd stay here a thousand times again! We had a great stay!!!

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!
