The highway traffic noise is pretty awful if you are tent camping

The sweetest women working in the office - where there was hot coffee available! Extremely nice bathrooms / showers, plus there is a laundry unit. The only downside is the noise of the highway but you’re close to everything!

The campground and bathrooms were well maintained. The best bathrooms that I’ve experienced camping. I misunderstood the tent sites meaning of “no hookups” to mean no water but they also didn’t have electricity. That was a bummer because it was super cold. It was also very noisy with the highway so close - if you are wanting a quiet stay in a tent I would look elsewhere. Otherwise it was n

We really enjoyed the campground! It was so close to everything we wanted to see. It was right off the interstate and easy to find. The staff was very helpful and polite. Everything was very clean and well kept. I was disappointed the jumping pillow was not up and operational though. We stayed in a tent and the interstate noise didn’t bother us. We will be back!

Great place, super staff. Beautiful grounds, well kept. We had so much fun. My niece even wants to have her wedding here. We tent camped, some of us pulled campers, others stayed in a cabin and 1 group stayed in a covered wagon. We will be back for a longer period of time next year.

This was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful views and awesome bathrooms. The only reason why i am giving 4 stars is because we were given the tent sites that are the farthest out in the campground and there are not any bathrooms close by. It was a very long walk to the bathrooms.

The young woman on the phone said the pool was closed even though online it said it was open for another day. Fire wood burned very quick.

Our Pool closed the day after Labor Day. Our web site states its open from Memorial Day - Labor Day. If weather permits we try keep it open longer.

Pros: Ground was nice and flat for our tent. Bathrooms were clean and one of the nicest I have been in. Staff was friendly. Cons: Very loud due to it being right next to the highway. Putt Putt needs updated.

Not a great place for tent campers. It's probably just fine for RVs or cabin stays. For tent campers, you'll be in an area about as far from the restrooms/showers as possible, with a nebulous parking situation (it wasn't really clear where I should be parking for my site), and the site I was assigned (and those around me) had no flat area to pitch my tent. The rest rooms were clean though.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Bath houses and restrooms were clean and private. Tent sites were large and pretty flat. Our only disappointment with tent sites was they have no water or electricity. Loved the new options since our last visit - covered wagons, teepees and tree houses. Would definitely return and recommend this park.

Nice overall campground design -- lot's of camping options. Private bathrooms that are nicer than many hotels where I have stayed. I was placed at tent-site T20 which was OK. In the future, I am hoping for one of tent sites T10 through T15. They seem to be on more level ground and a bit closer to the main building.

Great amenities and cool cabins! I stayed in a tent site which was pretty good. The bathrooms were nice but I did get locked in once. Some of the other guests were rude (taking additional tables and fire rings) and walked thru my tent site (and promptly fell into fire pit at my site). But overall a nice place.

Check in was super easy even though I arrived after hours! The tent sites were nice sized and had a great view! The staff were super friendly and the owner went above and beyond by getting maintenance to screw my cars splash guard back on when I discovered it dragging on the ground. I will definitely stay here again if I’m back in the area!

There was no flat spot for the tent and I spent the weekend sleeping crooked. I bought three bundles of firewood but could only use one due to the storm. I asked the front desk if they could refund me for the two bundles that were unopened and they wouldn't do it. They said I could leave them there so they can resell them

My wife and I were tent camping. I start this review with that fact do to the following. This campground campground was right off the exit which was very convenient however there was a truck stop on the opposite side of the highway.. So again being in a tent,, all night all day we heard the brakes from the giant trucks that were pulling in. The KOA other wise was Great.

Lovely staff, but the tent sites were under repair and the area where the tents were located was too worn and a fair distance from the restrooms and showers.

Lots of gimmicks, but little cover for a tent camper. Sparse, fairly treeless area quite close to the interstate. Not sure why they didn't put the tent campers into the surrounding wooded area. Felt very exposed. No privacy at all. When I was asked to return early due to work, was denied a refund for the final day of my stay. Nice staff, but would not recommend for a tent camper.

Overall, decent stay. The ground under the tent was too rocky to secure the tent with stakes. We broke a lot of stakes trying to set up our tent. Bathrooms were nice. The staff also sprayed weed killer under RVs and where my kids were playing.

Bathrooms were very clean. It was peaceful and had plenty of shade. It's close to attractions. The staff were polite.

Staff were great. Bathrooms were cleaned once per day. Pool was not crowded and clean. The road near teepees, campsites, treehouses and wagons is made of gravel when anyone drives through dust goes everywhere. Construction vehicles were a little annoying. The roar of the interstate was constant and almost deafening at night.

Great campground layout. Bath house with private bathrooms. Add the family that own and operate this KOA campground and we had an awesome camping experience for our family reunion. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Great KOA with really nice bathrooms. Lots of activities for kids. About 20 minutes from Mammoth Cave. It is very close to a fairly busy highway with lots of trucks, so there is a lot of road noise even at night. Lots of street lights with the highway and nearby hotels so star gazing is almost non-existent. Pull-through spots for smaller trailers like ours were not entirely level. General store and office closes at 6 PM, early for a campground. Still, overall, we enjoyed camping here and would do it again.

We stayed here many years ago on our way home. Decided to book here again. WOW! Things have changed. We got a fabulous patio site that was twice the size of our camper. It had a gorgeous view of the Kentucky hills. Full hook up. The sites all looked very nice. They had teepees, covered wagons & a couple of treehouses. A nice area for tents as well. The pond is catch & release. The pool wasn't open yet. The bathrooms were outstanding! Recently remodeled? Clean as well. They had a nice camp store I really didn't get to explore. So many activities for kids. The worst thing I can say about it is there is highway noise from I-65, but really I feel we've had worse. Looks like a nice base camp for the surrounding area. Thanks office ladies for the Derby pie!
