The campsite was very clean and the other campers were very friendly. We did go to mammoth cave and enjoyed the hike surrounding the cave. Would stay again if in the area.

Beautiful campground. Loved how clean it is and how very peaceful it is. Will definitely be back next season.

Excellent time! Nice campground; B 07 was nice and flat. There was plenty of space for our 2 dogs.

Self check in required due to the gate house damaged by floods. Volunteer Hosts were very nice. There were several trailers pre parked for the Labor Day Weekend and no body in them. (hogging Spots) Rules state they must be manned. Bathrooms Very Clean. (they were cleaned daily) Need to add more water and Electric to area "C"

The campground was well maintained and the bathroom/shower house was clean. The volunteers were helpful (even when not on duty). I hope we have another opportunity to visit Wax again.

Great campground! Good sites, decently spaced, clean. Shaded and lakefront sites available.
@AdamK2705815 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #C23
We had such a great time here. The campground is clean and well maintained. The restrooms were also well kept. The campground is less than a 5 minute drive to a gas station/convenience store and a dollar general right across the street. It was quiet during the week and the weekend really picked up. We'll be back!

Excellent 2 week stay!! On the water for fishing or viewing if we wanted, clean site & facilities, and fairly level gravel pad. No sewer, but we know that's a down side for a COE. Good local restaurant and interesting Amish shopping sites. Highly recommend WAX, Kentucky for a stay!!
@BobL4821699 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #A12
Love the campground and sites. Nice scenery by the lake.
@AnnaK4787091 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #B28
I was really surprised at how incredibly clean the entire area was, during our stay. Everything from the bathroom facilities, showers, campgrounds and lakeside. Our specific site had a nice large grass area that backed up to a fence. Our site was so level, we didnt have to make any adjustments to our 5th wheel camper!We noticed some sites were smaller and some incredibly larger! After walking around, we picked a couple sites and booked another reservation to come back and by directly in the water. I cant wait!!As for my only con, there is only trash dump facilities at the entrance. Not a huge big deal, but we didnt realize until day 2. lol!Oh yes! Almost forgot to mention he darling little building that was on honor payment system. GREAT place to buy wood, fresh fruits and vegies!! Very clever!! Plan to use this resource on our next trip!Lastly, we have family property in the area and although we have used the lake for over 40 years, we have NEVER stayed at a campground. We cannot get our new camper down to our family property, which is why we are at the campsite. SOOOO glad we chose Wax! Did not disappoint!!

Great place first time camping there will definitely go back
@JeremyL1157581 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #B21
This was our very first time staying at Wax. We stayed in site B 20. While a little on the short side as far driveway length is concerned, the site offered almost all day shade and was fairly private from the sites around. The site was reasonably level and offered easy access to the bath house if needed. I would recommend this site to those with smaller rigs and only one vehicle. That said, I do recommend thus site and our experience at Wax was first class.
@CharleneB38B7A · Camped on Jul 10, 2025 at Campsite #A28
Great camp store. Shower house was clean. Sites are well cared for
@TomP3330669 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #B16
Site was narrow for a pull through. Struggled to get our 31 foot Jayco in and out of the site because of a sharp curve to the left. A a LOT of ticks.
@DonnaS6863498 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #A8
Not at all what I expected. We will definitely camp here again. Had a great time.
@RobertGE7DBC5C · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #B14
The park was clean and there was a lot of shady places. Only thing I wish it had was a beach and or a good non rocky place to park boats. Playground was nice for smaller children.
@PamelaD2861561 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #B27
We love Wax campground and will be there on several outings. It's been a rough camping season due to flooding, but all will work out. Thank you for all you do.

B-19. Wonderful spacious site. Volunteer staff rode by several times a day to check on us. Site was clean, shower house was immaculate.
@PamelaD2861561 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #A29
Wax is a beautiful campground with nice shady lots. The bathrooms and shower stalls are always nice and clean. Its one of our favorite campgrounds on Nolin.

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.
