Nice quiet place, clean, people working there were friendly and helpful.A little drive from anything, wifi was weak to non available. cable worked well.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are 7 miles from the Cumberland Parkway on beautiful Lake Cumberland. We are in a heavily forested, hilly terrain which does impact the WiFi service at some site in the park.

Staff are great, offered assistance as needed, stayed late for my daughter, who had rented a cabin, as she was delayed in her ability to get to the park on time. I am very thankful for the support of this facility to my family, we have a family reunion of sorts around Father's day each year.

Thank you for entrusting Russell Springs KOA with you Father's Day/Family Reunion. We look forward to serving you again in 2025!

We requested a shady spot and was pleasantly surprised how shady it was. Our only issue were our next door cabin neighbors smoked and vaped incessantly and it carried right to our front door. Not the campgrounds fault…just unpleasant for us. Access to the lake was outstanding

Russell Springs KOA is in a beautiful forest setting only 1 mile for the lake.

Need to upgrade internet it doesn’t even work for TV or phones

Thanks for your input. We have great cable service at each full hookup site with a 100+ channels. We have excellent cell service provided by several national carriers with a cell tower less than a mile from our facility. Unfortunately AT&T doesn't utilize this tower.

This place was great place to go to stay near Cumberland Lake. The people from the desk all the way to the owner, went above and beyond to please and help us during our stay. Thank you!

Great little place tucked away in Lake Cumberland. Really enjoyed the arcade, but wished that half the games weren’t broken. Concrete picnic area was very nice but the actual RV site was very unlevel side to side. The pool is great. They had redone it since last time we’ve been there.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad you enjoyed our renovated pool completed in 2020. Lake Cumberland is a beautiful place to vacation and we are the only KOA on its shores!

Very friendly and no issues with the facility.

This campground needs renovated, and the regular pull thru sites need to have more room between sites. WiFi is poor. The premium pull through sites are nice.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for renting one of our premium, larger concrete padded site. We hope you come see us again.

Wonderful experience! The staff were all very personable and friendly. They catered to any needs we may have! The signal and WiFi were very strong! Definitely will be back!!! The highlight was seeing all the deer coming out. They were not too scared to be around humans!!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We have a wonderful staff here at Russell Springs KOA. The deer, especially during early spring, are very active throughout the campground.

I have been camping for over 30 years with KOA in Russell Springs. Our family has lots and lots of great memories and still enjoy it today. We enjoy the pool & activities offered, and they always celebrate holidays with extra kids activities. They also host several local get-to-gathers of bands, singing, & jamborees. The owners and staff are always helpful, nice and accommodating in every way.

This is an older site with majorit of the sites occupied with long term rigs, a lot of which are pretty run down. The site advertises wi-fi but this is not available at the transient sites located toward the main road. This road is not too busy so traffic noise is not really a concern here. Water pressure is very low making rig shower operation minimal at best. Overall an acceptable overnight sto

We had a great relaxing stay, exactly what we wanted. There were things to do, and it was close to the marina! Very quiet even though we were next to the entrance road. We woukd come back.

This campground is a great place to stay. It's super close to two boat ramps. Only a short hour drive to Cumberland Falls Park. But what really makes this place great are the people who run it. The owner personally stopped by our campsite and went over the map of the area. Showed us the best places to visit, the best restaurants, and more. He must have spent 20 minutes at the picnic table with us. Super friendly staff!

We love the location and the campground, love that it's family owned. But possibly they could use some of the earnings to slide a bit of comfort in!! If you have a disability or “bad back”, fair warning you'll need to take something to sit on even in the “delux” cabins. The front cabin has a loveseat that pulls out. Not sure of the comfort when it was pulled out but to sit on it was horrid. Cushions ripped and taped are a bit ridiculous since it costs so much more to stay there. I fear my dear friend from out of town will not be back because there was just no way to really find even a few minutes of comfort with only 3 of us there. The shower ran out of hot water before I could even wash. Again we love the place, but some comfort is a necessity when doing that type of traveling and only so many people can squeeze in one bed. So maybe decent furniture, maybe spring for a recliner. We will hopefully be back. But matching comfort with price would be great. I recommended the place and now I feel bad because it was 2 full days and nights formal her with no way to really sit and relax, only sit. I'm always uncomfortable so until I seen someone else so uncomfortable from my recommendation did I realize. Diana, if you read this I'm sorry! I did not know what that particular cabin was like…now I know. I'll be back, but lol not for comfort.
