Rating: 9 8 8 4 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed overnight. Staff was very friendly. Got a pull through site right next to the office. Nice layout. Quite a few longer term residents, but the park was clean and neat and the staff was working on spring projects. Didn't use the wifi, it was a pay as you go. Showers and bathrooms were very clean and easy to use. - Rae & Mark
We have stayed here numerous times and have always enjoyed it. The people that run the park are
great and when we come to town we will always stay here. - Pauldodge1View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Dad's Bluegrass Music RV Park ».Great place for overnite, park staff very helpful. My site was not level. - Cdr Bob

Rating: 8 6 6 4 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This was our first stay at the Bowling Green KOA. We booked the "buddy sites" with some friends which are large pull-thru sites facing each other on the far end of the park. We had a large concrete patio between the rigs that was really nice. Site was level and included two tables and a portable fire pit. Sewer site is far back from the water and electric hookups. I had to add an extension hose to reach the sewer connection. Road noise from the nearby I-65 was minimal. Other than the sewer connection (which was at the rear of my rig) utilities were situated conveniently (I had to buy a sewer extension hose). Cable worked well and provided many channels. We enjoyed our stay and will be back during Derby Week. There are many restaurants nearby and Camping World is about a mile away. The only downside is the road exiting the park. You'll need to make a right-hand turn to get out of the park and if you have a long rig you need to swing wide to clear a large ditch. It's a two lane road and heavily traveled, so it can take a while to get enough clearance to exit. Camping World is nearby and restaurants galore. The Corvette Museum is right down the road. - sixtires58
Not sure what was going in Bowling Green, but there was so much noise from the motorcyclists in the park. Even though their brochure states no loud noise, it was awful. Maybe if we had come on another day it might have been better. - Clint's Travels
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Bowling Green KOA »This is an older park that is located next to I-65. It was my 2nd time to stay here. I agree with some of the maintenance concerns noted by other reviewers - the patio at my site had mud and gravel all over it. The cable TV service was DOA due to another camper who had driven off with his cable still attached (the maintenance man was in the process of digging the cable up with a backhoe as we were leaving to work on it). However, you can get several OTA channels. Wifi was good. There are LOTS of services (restaurants, shopping, and fuel stations) nearby, which is nice. The staff were very nice and allowed me to stay past the checkout time since I had a local appointment w/o charging me extra. Thanks, guys! - farmboy25

Rating: 5 3 1 9 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Older CG that could use some maintenance. Attached to an amusement park and race track of some sort. Our electric had one standard outlet and one female extension cord end to supply 2 sites. Pull thru sites separated by about an 8' strip of grass. Not a place I would choose to spend several days but OK for any port in a storm. Wi-fi on $5/day paid basis. - ebaldy
Electrical in sites is VERY poor. Day time volts were 100 to 108, night was 110 to 118. Right away my AC tripped due to low volts and I had to run on my generator. (this is a known issue). We only spent Monday and Tuesday there then camped the rest of the week at the ATTACHED drag strip. I was told it would cost $10, after she checked the price, to dump waste water Sunday after the event. When I showed up to dump on Sunday I was told since it wasn't an event of Dallas's it was $30. Sundays attendant informed me the person who checked and said $10 on Monday was wrong. It cost $35 to say during the week but $30 to dump? Two years ago they let us dump free after since they are connected. At least 90% of the 500+ campers that week showed up for the drag strip but they say the event wasn't connected to the campground. I will be looking for alternate lodging next Hot Rod Reunion. - Greg Iowa

Electric service was not useable. Voltage was low never above 90 volts. Had to run our own generator to run air conditioner. Don't waste your money here. Expensive boondocking!!! - Rkserv

Rating: 1 7 4 1 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park has uneven sites. So much so that, even with the use of the on-board RV leveling Jacks, we couldn't extend our bump outs.
This park is very unclean. The bathrooms (showers/commodes) are filthy and in need of maintenance, cleaning and updating.
The laundry facilities are the same. The machines are rusty (inside and out). I was afraid to use them over concern that the rust would bleed onto my clothes during the wash cycle. I had to take our camping laundry to an off-site laundromat.
Beyond the uncleanliness of the amenities, the grounds too are unkempt. The front sites (visible front he road) are mowed and weedeated. The back sites are not.
The camp directs you to walk your pets in a "designated area," that is all well and good if they would actually direct you to where that "designated area" is, which they did not. Everyone here seems to have a different opinion about where that is. The most common place seems to be by a large trash heap in the middle of the park. I walked my dog near that spot in the day, but was hesitant to at night. The pile of wood debris in the middle of your campground is dangerous. There are used boards with very large nails sticking up...just waiting for a child to fall or step on them and need an ER visit for tetanus shot and stitches. ed boards with very large nails sticking up...just waiting for a child/pet/anyone to fall or step on them and need an ER visit for tetanus shot and stitches.
We had an overnight stay on Saturday night. This was BYOB and Karaoke night on the office porch (not far from our camper). The more the crowd drank, the louder and more off pitch the Karaoke singers became. They started at 5 PM and continued until 10:00 PM. We had planned phone calls to family back home and a movie in our camper. The karaoke began and remained so loud, even inside our own RV, we were unable to keep our plans. - George Hall IIII stayed there in 2006 for at least a year and loved it. Met some great friends. I would go back. Dirt sites are very close and open to sun. Picnic table. - s12552001
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Owl's Roost Campground »I stopped here looking for one nights rest. The staff was very polite and helpful. The campground is catering to mostly permanent setups and the newest RV in was at least 20 years old. I did not see any open sites except for the small one they put me on. It would be too small for anything over my 21 footer. I did my laundry here and while the machines have been well used. Some had rust and some were out of order. My clothes came out clean and dry. Everything remotely movable was chained and padlocked. If you want cheap camping and not a large rig it would be OK, but if rough looks aren't your style I would keep looking elsewhere. - Goinmobile
