Had a great time fishing and swimming! We always do girl trips to this campground and I love that we always feel safe. Theres a sense of community in the campground no matter whos there and what time of year you camp!

Axel is a great place to stay one of the things I like about it most every lot has plenty of shade.
@DouglasL894716 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #G130
Clean Sites. Awesome Host/Hostess (Volunteers). Staying here again!

Taking in consideration the flooding and the deep cuts of funding to the US Army Corps of Engineers, I strongly feel the staff at Rough River Axtel and surrounding campsites are doing a excellent job. Site was extremely clean and trimmed for our stay. Well done.
@DouglasL894716 · Camped on Jul 9, 2025 at Campsite #F112
Very nice despite cuts to funding. Sheriff Office did campground rounds seemingly every other hour. We had to move to a different site every night (die to me booking late) so we could enjoy a full week. All of the sites were clean. Volunteer staff friendly.

We had an amazing site at Axtel. We were on A24 and we were in close proximity to the playground as well as fishing and areas for the kids. We will definitely be back.
@VirginiaC17814 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #F113

Beautiful camping
@RichardS712869 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #G125
Bathrooms are not sanitary. Camping policies are not being enforced. Corp couldnt even get the grass cut and trimmed for the Fourth of July
@johnc3063297 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #A4
We loved the campground, bathrooms got hit pretty hard in the am. But we're in a 5th wheel, so no big deal. Lake was really HIGH, but still clean. Good experience! Would camp here again!
@Stephanie53590 · Camped on Jun 16, 2025 at Campsite #H138
Beach was closed because of high water but it was still a great trip. Fishing was great.
@PamH8101196 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #A15
Love Axtel!
@BryantC2CE83EE · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #F113
Loved our 3 days at Axtel. It's a short drive for us. Our RV spot looked just like the picture. Bathrooms nice and clean! My kids loved walking to the playground and a huge plus to be able to see them from our spot. Definitely cant wait to go back!
@JohnSR28CE520E · Camped on Jun 8, 2025 at Campsite #F121
We had a wonderful time even though the water was high and they had to close parts of the campground it was still a wonderful week. The Park host was so nice and the park rangers were making sure everything was good. Thank you John
@josephs9140090 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #A25
Nice large sites
@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Jun 2, 2025 at Campsite #F120
The shower house was closed for 2 days. Also, a second shower house was removed a couple years ago and never replace. There needs to be a restroom facility put back where the one was removed. Too long of a walk for those on that area.
@ChrisB5203459 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #B37
Campsites were decorated up for the Halloween weekend and had trick or treat on Saturday evening. We always enjoy our visit to Axtel campground.
@MarciaS3248181 · Camped on Oct 20, 2024 at Campsite #E62
We camped on E062 at Axtel as much as we can. We had no internet, we stayed form Sun 10/20/ home on Thurs 10/24/24. They were finally fixing the problem the day we had to leave. This site is by the wash house and of course an easy fix, I reported it on Monday to the host and to the core. I would also add we have camped at Axtel over 30 yrs these showers houses need some TLC it is embarrassing to bring our out of state guests to this beautiful state of Ky to such a nasty placed. I've brought the subject up before..... I also know money is tight but we need this for our tourism.
@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #B34
Attendants where so nice and pleasant.. Enjoyed the views of Rough River . Axtel is very nice, so close to the water. Everyone was so nice, also I liked the security there. Thumbs Up to Axtel campground!
@CherylP9442921 · Camped on Oct 6, 2024 at Campsite #C46
We enjoy camping at Axtel very much. Some of the sites do need repairs: railroad ties are out of place, the smaller two-legged table stands are in bad shape and need to be replaced or removed. Overall, it's a great place to camp. We will be back. Thank you.
@DebbieC9683255 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #B35
Loved our site. Level and right on water
@RonaldanCD7045 · Camped on Oct 1, 2024 at Campsite #G134
Bathhouse in the G loop were in need of repair. No soap was available on the men's side due to the dispenser leaking so they no longer filled it. Many toilet seats in all men's facilities need replacement the finish is worn off. The handicapped stall in the G loop was closed for our entire stay due to a stoppage.
@MatthewB318226 · Camped on Sep 30, 2024 at Campsite #F111
Check in was easy and quick, site was good but wish it was more level. View was excellent. Would camp here again!
@CarolynL507956 · Camped on Sep 28, 2024 at Campsite #D57
The campground spot was beautiful. Maintenance was lacking look like the only thing they did was mow and made sure there was toilet paper. Area was pretty!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
