We had a great stay. Wonderful updates were made since we last visited. The only minor thing I will say is out of the 5 sites that were vacant at some point during our stay, our site was the only one that was literally on a hill. Walking out of the camper into a 1 foot hill... 7/13/2019

We didn't spend a great deal of time at the campground but our site wasn't the best. Weeds were long around the gravel and there wasn't much space if we had been hanging around the camp site. Other than that, all was fine. 7/12/2019

Everyone is welcoming and helpful. Tina is an awesome employee she gave us ideas of things to do and shared more about KOA. The facility is very clean and the kids didn't want to leave.Great job! 7/12/2019

Great pool. Lots of fun stuff for our 5 year old grandson. 7/12/2019

Clean bathrooms, clean pool and lots of activities for the family. Pond and river close, ample picnic areas and even a cave to cool off in. All the outdoor games you'll want to play. Great site and well maintained. 7/12/2019

Well-developed campground...lots of room between sites...internet needs more bandwidth during high volume times 7/12/2019

Busy campground, but fairly spacious sites with a nice pool and clean laundry facilities. People who work there are friendly and helpful and there is a nice, well-maintained, public recreation area. Would stay here again if we are passing through the area. 7/11/2019

Guy at the kamp store was very busy, but was super pleasant. Great first impression. Kamp ground had wonderful walking trails and a fish pond. Of course all the fun standard KOA playground activities too. 7/11/2019

The campground was okay it was clean the bathrooms were clean little outdated but clean I believe though that the staff needs a lesson in customer service they were a little bit rude I would stay there again it was a relatively nice site 7/11/2019

Activities, pool, and sweat....what a 4th of July! The kids enjoyed the pool, activities, and KONA Ice throughout the weekend. Even with wiping sweat off their face, the staff kept a smile on their face and continued their superb customer service. KUDOS, Louisville South! 7/11/2019

The campground is very nice and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. We store our RV there and spend about one week a month there. 7/11/2019

Very helpful staff. My son loved fishing off the dock every day. The sites are a little tight, my awning from camper was less than 12in from my neighbors camper. 7/11/2019

Did not like the fact that Sunday rate was higher than my Monday rate and I reserved a full hookup 50 amp pullthru and did not have sewer. 7/10/2019

Nice facilities, excellent activities. only issue we saw was the fly population seemed very excessive (near the new four tent camping sites with sand). Even for "camping", it was way too many flies. 7/9/2019

Family Reunion, very accommodating 7/9/2019
