Rating: 8 8 4 5 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a great stopover park if there isn't a concert going on. They accept Passport America and offer a nice park with no frills. Water., power and sewer were all well placed and functional. They are located right off the interstate highway but no road noise. Great value and really friendly. - jeffs
Need to grade the park road, lots of very big wide deep potholes. When you first enter it is OK, but halfway to the corner and at the corner it gets very bad! And there is a wooden frame at the corner covering one large hole so you don’t slide into it! - Beal
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Renfro Valley RV Park »We stayed one night and it was ok. The new section was pull through sites in a field with no shade. During the week there is nothing but empty closed buildings. Would only stay again if we need a one night stay again. - PJ Norris

Rating: 7 8 8 8 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Seems a bit pricey but I suppose it's the location. CG roads and sites are narrow but it's quiet, tidy and in a pretty location. Entry and exit are steep but manageable. On arrival (Sat) we discovered the local scout pack/troop were having a big camp out. We expected it to be noisy that evening but the group was really quiet and they were finishing breakfast and packing when we got up. Well done scouts! - RedHorse1
Beautiful park, friendly staff! - Good Laxdal
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Renfro Valley KOA »First time here, overall a very nice campground, staff was friendly and thoughtful. We chose a pull thru site and it accommodated the trailer and full size van tow vehicle. Road coming up to the campground is a little steep and somewhat narrow. All utilities worked fine, site was level. Late April so not a lot of other campers. - ANDYO1

Rating: 10 8 9 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Camped here two nights for the state XC meet campground was quiet due to the cold. Our first stay here but we will be back. - CampingOut
Nice campground. The sites were pretty short for today's size of RV's. There was no place other than on the grass to park a vehicle. We arrived on a Monday early afternoon to check-in and was told the camp store was now closing on Mondays and to come back the next day to register. We were only there for one night and had pre-paid, so didn't go to the store. Would've been nice to have that information before we got there so we could've went right to our site. Some noise from the interstate, but not too bad. There is no sewer, but 2 dump stations available. Satellite coverage was good at our site. AT&T and Verizon had good signals. Could not connect to the campground WIFI from our site, #13. - jacknpeg
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Kentucky Horse Park Campground »Nice park for several day stay. Camp map looks crowded but seemed like lots of room between the all backin sites. Interior sites may be a little more crowded but the outer ring sites gave room and area to drop our toyhauler patio. Was a little tight turning the 44ft rig into the space and glad it wasn't crowded but may be me. the sites are flat but many aren't level and cause some issues leveling due to front to back or side to side differences. blocks fix fairly easy Some are flat and basically level. A guy, I assume working for the camp, comes by couple times a day picking up small trash that has flown in Not camps issue but curious why it seems large dog owners seem to think they don't need to pickup . Especially when they let the dog run loose to go anywhere they want too include other's site. - lefield

Rating: 10 10 7 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed during Oct so everyone had decorated for Halloween which was awesome. Campground was totally full but there is lots of space between sites. Watch out for kids on the roads, they are everywhere. Great wooded campground and clean showers/restrooms. Kids enjoyed the playground as well. Parking on the grass is the norm here for TV and visitors so if it were to rain, it could get muddy, lucky for us it was dry. We love this campground overall after 3 stays and will continue be regulars for sure. - mbpalm0
Large park-like shade trees. Showerhouse was amazing. Clean, modernized. Really appreciated. Lots of privacy. Only stay one night traveling. - classylady45

Rating: 7 7 9 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: WOW, this place is way out in the country and you drive about the last 5 miles on a very narrow road with lots of overhanging trees to scrape and scratch your rig. It's quiet, The people are nice, some sights are not that level, some are fine. Set up for mostly Seasonals, but with transient sights also. - Johnny xxxxx
Access road is tough for big rigs. Cummins Ferry Road is narrow, winding and lots of trees need to be trimmed. The last 1/2 mile is a single lane road with tree branches encroaching both on the sides and top. RV Park (not a resort) is a nice setting in a Canyon right on the Kentucky river. Mostly permanent residents, transient spaces tend to be the pull throughs which are recently paved. Some of the pull through spaces have a steep incline which would be ok for trailers but difficult for motorhomes, so make sure you talk to the park. Because of the Canyon there is no Cell service, Satellite could be a struggle depending on the site. Wifi is between 1mb-2mb speeds and we had outages during our stay. The sewer system seems to be lacking venting so you need to watch out for pressure building up. Pool was locked the entire stay so not sure when it is open. Downtown Lexington is about 25 miles or 45 minutes away. Park has drainage issues and during storms our site and grass area flooded. - sheltieRV
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Cummins Ferry Campground & Marina »This park is located down country roads to the banks of the Kentucky River. The entry road is narrow but accessible. Interior road and sites are well maintained mostly level asphalt. All pull through sites are in the middle row with no trees between large sites while outer back in sites are smaller with heavy trees at rear of site. No sites have a river view. Utilities were well placed. Good water pressure. Provided internet access worked well. Verizon and Sprint with limited fluctuating service. 4 OTA TV channels. Good area to walk dogs along river bank. Laundry with 2 washers (1.25/load) and 2 dryers(1.00/load). Very helpful and nice owners. Most sites are occupied by neat long term residents. A little off the main highway for an overnight stay but great for exploring the area.
DO NOT ENTER PARK ON MCAFEE ROAD. It is a narrow one lane. Use Cummins Ferry Road. - bbmidwife -

Rating: 7 8 4 3 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: If you are looking for lots of peace an quiet this is your place. Very friendly and helpful staff members. Small park way out in the country. Long and winding roads can be a little intimidating for a long rig. Most all spots are grass which wouldn't be an issue unless it rains...which it did. Not every spot had water and power together. Wifi is very weak to non existent on most days. Cell coverage with Sprint was zero..not even roaming. A little to far from town for me. - BNicholsWorth
Very level site (no levelers on our 26' motorhome). Excellent hookups. Road in is paved, but narrow (not a problem for us, but may be for larger rig). Quiet, peaceful, very helpful staff. Rate reflects weekly rate. No laundry. - PatK

Rating: 3 3 2 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Looks like at one time it was a nice park, sadly run down and mostly 'permanent' residents now. Very nice staff, looks like they are doing what they can. - Kbtx
We were here over the Fourth of July weekend so we tried to take that into consideration, but there were some things we couldn't overlook. First of all, the staff was wonderful and couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. They stopped by our site several times. Unfortunately the actual campground itself was in need of some desperate repairs. Across from our site was an old shower house (?) with a port-a-potty in front. The shower house was inoperable so the port-a-potty was the only bathroom for the 30+ people on our end of the camp site. In order to use a sink you had to walk all the way to the entrance. Our first night we were awoken at 11:00 by a chainsaw one of the other campers was using to cut their firewood and our next door neighbors were setting off mortar fireworks that were raining down on our RV. There were cars parked EVERYWHERE and the tent site below us kept driving their truck through our site and parking it next to our chairs. The second night wasn't quite as eventful. The woman next door was walking around without her pants on and they also had visitors so there were at least a dozen people crammed on one site. If you need a place to stay near Nicholasville then this is pretty much the only option, but I would try to stay somewhere else if possible. - coldwaterconch
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Camp Nelson RV Park »I hate to be totally negative so, the 50 amp service was good. Wi-Fi was okay, but charged for each day. Hookups on wrong side of RV. Park Very run down. Lots were part grass part large rocks. Lots of old, I mean, Old trailers. We had reserved 5 days, when checking in changed that to 2. After 1 night, we left, they did refund the 2nd day lot rental. Staff was friendly. Would not camp here again - dj4pres

Rating: 8 7 9 6 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed during the second weekend of their Halloween celebration. Unfortunately the weather was very cold and the delay in community trick or treating probably thinned the crowd a little. But it was a fun time and our kids were loaded up on candy by the generous campers. Our lot was close to the bathhouse which was convenient. The lot was a nice flat pull through. This was our second stay at Whispering Hills this season. We enjoyed both stays. Friendly staff and good facilities. - JMacRV
We stayed 3 nights over a weekend and the park was completely full. The sites are very short and unlevel. There were sites that appear to be a lot more level, we were on the back side which was sloped. All utilities worked well. It is a very nice looking Park. There is lots for kids to do and it was very busy with inflatables for the kids. Negative was all the barking dogs, and not enough room to park after disconnecting. People were having to move their vehicles for others to get out. - jacknpeg
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Whispering Hills RV Park »The park is literally out in the middle of nowhere, the road leading in off the main road is basically a one lane paved road. The sites are long enough for a 38 foot motor home but it doesn't leave much room for the toad. When we arrived we were having electrical problems on our MH and an employee came over and helped us fix the problem, which we really appreciated. It is a nice park and we enjoyed our five nights there. All of the employees were very nice and were preparing for Halloween. - Ilovemyholidayrambler

Rating: 8 1 6 6 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here to visit the Ark and creation museum. It's a bit far away but closer places didn't have as good reviews. Worked just fine. Friendly check in. Clean park. Looked like lots to keep small kids busy. Internal spaces were tight getting into/out of, looked like outer spaces were roomier. Packed over the weekend, not so much during the week. Wi-Fi was ok, water pressure was great. Would stay again. - Travelers4
I don't know where the good reviews came from but our experience here was horrible and over priced for just water and elec. I wouldn't ever stay here again . For 37.00 a nite I would rather go to a KOA - Lazy Jack
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Elkhorn Campground »This park is hard to rate because the sites differ so much. We had a back in site with no sewer for 5 days (made it through no problem). After the 2nd day we could have moved to a full service site but the office would not let us. It was over a 100 degrees for most days but the pool was never open must close after Labor Day no flexibility. Some sites have gravel and others are asphalt, some sites have grass others have none. The river is nice that runs through the park and they gave us a site that we where able to get satellite (with no guarantees). They charge 3% for CC use, first time in over 250 CG no big deal but just cheap. The turn off the road is narrow and very busy be warned. The CG is well located to see the horse and bourbon sites and that is the major plus for staying here. If you get the right site it may rate higher. - sjones

Rating: 9 7 7 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed 3 nights here. A great campground right on Lake Herrington. Very quiet clean campground. Paved interior roads and sites. Located in a hilly area. Space is a little tight but campsite was large and well kept. Many full time residents but all high end, no trailer park vibe. - AubreyPage
Manager/Owners were fantastic. They wanted to make sure you were happy and would help in any way that they could. Over half of this park are annuals with only a couple actually living there year-round. This park is right on the lake and so it is more of a vacation spot for people mainly residing in KY within an hours drive is what we found. Lexington is only about 40 minutes up the road so any needs can easily be found up there. The park is small and tight. If you are driving a big rig they will do their best to accommodate you, but only a couple of sites can handle 40 footers. We were in a 34 Class A and we actually moved twice actually staying in three sites. Laundry was 2 washers and 2 dryers with a clothesline outside for your use also. They did some sort of community get together almost every Saturday night, ie Bingo or other games that larger crowds can play. The lake is only about 50 years from the park and there is a marina with a cafe which many people there utilize. There is a small playground for the kids, but the lake is the big drawl for everyone. If I was ever in the area I would stay again. - TekManiac

Had to pay $10.00 gate card deposit that you get back when leave. We left on Sunday Morning after 8:00 a.m. And no one was on duty to return card and retrieve the $10.00. I left card and my card asking to mail my $10.00, which they did. I also paid $10.00 extra for the pull thru lot, which was in a curve with lots behind you. - Sissy Wommack
