Got there really late so it was quite dark out, however the camp is nicely lit. Had a lovely night with a sky full of stars. We were next to the river and a fog was there when we woke and disappeared as the sun went up, it exposed the beautiful campground. But be prepared for fishermen all around walking though our camp site. It was 40 mins from mammoth cave. We ended up staying a second night cause it was a nice vibe, definitely wanting to come back.

Zero T-Mobile coverage. Had enough cable to get starlink out from under the trees and over the hillside. The grass desperately needed cut. The bugs were in the thousands and attached themselves to the tree next to our rig. The camp hosts were so very friendly, kind and went above and beyond to make our stay good. In site 5 stayed 6 nights. Nice view but people like to cut through your site to go fishing. Easy to dump, water pressure good, decent level site, all gravel. People were respectful of quiet hours. Season ends too soon. Again, NO cell service.

We had a great time at this campground even though they shut off the water and electricity! We were the only RV in the park with a tent way on the other end. Site 05 was mostly level gravel right on the river. The camp hosts, Jeff and Diane were very nice and showed us where to fill our fresh tank for our 3 day boondocking stay. We had some elec issues so we only got to tour the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, a 40 min drive. Hated to miss Mammoth Caves. A little store/baitshop right outside the entrance has 24/7 pay at the pump gas at a reasonable price.

Grass around site 5 hadn't been mowed all year, campground looked poorly kept. In 25 years visiting this is the worst yet. Corp did nothing for visitors fishing with repairs to banks.
