RV Reviews

Jan 01, 2022
We have been at Russell Springs for 4 summers. I’m not happy with the lack of internet service considering we have not good cell service there and are very close to the office. For as much as we pay it should be much better.

We enjoy our time at the KOA! The staff is wonderful!

We very there at the last of the camping season. We walked around the camp ground and we said we are going back to this camp ground. Thank you for helping us.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I like that the sites were spacious and secluded. I did not like that there was no lake access and I was unable to fish. The Wi-Fi was weak and had limited phone service.

Needs to be updated. Most games in arcade out of order. Put put course run down. Gift shop bare. People were very nice.

The staff was very helpful. It’s a nice quiet place

If I am to continue to patronize KOA, I will have to be impressed that there is a level of standard that I can rely upon at every KOA no matter the circumstances. Items that are priority for me as an avid camper/traveler are 1. If every customer cannot access wifi, then do not advertise it as an offering. 2.The sites in the whole campground were substandard in appearance.

The entire facility was just lackluster.

The campground was ok but the staff were cautious and polite. Lake Cumberland was beautiful!

Very nice! The guy was very nice and accommodating! About 1 mile to lake Cumberland. Nice big lots.

Had a very nice stay and will return to KOA Russellsprings.

The only thing I have against this KOA would be some of the camper sites are a little tight and the bathrooms need to be updated. But it's a great little get away with friendly helpful staff.

Thought it would be next to Cumberland Lake. Old campground with very trashy long term campers. Most of the campers looked like no one lived in them. Bathrooms were clean but very old. They have a pool, was not open due to season. Site was unlevel where they put us. There was a better area for short term campers but they put us with the trashy long term ones. The worst KOA we have stayed at.

Every part off my stay was great. The firewood I purchased on site would not burn. Everything else was good.
Oct 01, 2021
Very nice and quite. Owners very helpful with directions.

Always have a great experience when visiting KOA Journey, Russellville, KY. Mike was there to get us checked in & escort us to our site. We had inquired, several weeks in advance, about a ride to the nearby Lake Cumberland Marina. Mike gave us time to set up & picked us up for the short ride to the Marina. We so appreciated him helping us out. Always a great experience staying here.

First time camping in my rv. Pull thru site was perfect. Owner was very welcoming and helpful. Kudos to his staff who were very helpful and friendly. Place is extremely well maintained and clean. Will definitely be back

after paying a premium price to stay, cable and wifi did not work, no one ever in office, no one ever came around to check on us, and you charged us a $25 pet fee but did not tell us there would be a pet fee. Motels charge pet fees not campgrounds. Stayed here 5 or 6 years ago and was much better then. everything worked, no pet fee, and just $27 a night. Hope this is not an example of all KOA's.

This was our last camping weekend for the season. Terrible spot, only one staff member…who was awesome…campground was run down, requested firewood at the store, someone went to get but left it on the ground. We are so used to having very attentive staff at KOAs. Regardless if it’s off season or not, there should always be a certain level of hospitality. Great place for a one night stay/lake
Sep 20, 2021
Everyone was courteous and helpful. Especially Zac and Sharon.
Sep 20, 2021
The staff at this KOA were wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable about the area and very friendly, however, this is not a location I would re-visit unless you have plans to rent a boat to see the beautiful lake! My husband and I saw some lake sites by land that weren’t at all interesting enough to return to. If I had to go back, I’d rent a boat. The campground alone had old and run down camp
Sep 20, 2021
The wifi doesn't work. Need better coverage. The bathroom was kept very clean and the sites are very well maintained. Overall a great spot close to the lake.
Sep 14, 2021
Staff and owners are great. Stayed there 4 times. I will be back next year.

Brennen, thank you for selecting Russell Springs KOA as you camping destination!

Everyone is always very friendly at this KOA. The only complaint I have is the site we were at was not very level especially for a camper of my size. It was considered a pull through but its more like a pull in then back out which wasnt a big deal. I was worried the site behind us someone would arrive because there isnt much room. However I think they have that blocked off for that reason.
Aug 31, 2021
Staff and park was great. The only downside on this trip was that the neighboring lot had three motor vehicles besides one camper. They parked one car onto my lot which really wasn’t right.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for choosing Russell Springs KOA. I am sorry someone used your site for parking. Unfortunately we were unaware of the issue.

Wife and I didn’t adjust our travel time due to time change for where we were coming from. We got to KOA way to early. The associates of KOA were more than glad to accommodate us on our early arrival. They got us checked in and took us to our site and helped us get setup. They were very friend and greatly appreciated everything they done for us. Definitely stay with them again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are on Central Time and were glad we could accommodate you. Please come back and see us again!

This KOA is way off the main road, skinny winding roads to get there with no shoulder. The sites are not level and hard to get into and out of. Big rigs and overnight stays are not recommended. I would never stay at this KOA again nor would I ever recommend it.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are seven miles off the Cumberland Parkway on beautiful Lake Cumberland. We have pull through sites that accommodate large rigs.

Campground was muddy and nasty, no bath houses, Wifi was horrible and with no cell service, They allow minors (under 16 and Under 10 in some cases on golf carts and they are dangerous, and to top it off, it was to expensive and the office staff was just plain rude!!! we will not be back>

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Other camper's comment on our bath houses being incredibly clean. AT and T does have very poor service in this area as they chooses not to pay to use the tower 1/4 mile from us. The cost for this weekend includes payment to the Bluegrass Festival for campers admission.
Aug 25, 2021
Due to an unforeseen circumstance at the state park campground where we originally had a reservation, I called the Russell Springs KOA to see if they had an open site. Fortunately, Tanya, the customer service rep., “hooked us up,” and she made our entire stay there delightful. Her recommendations and kindness meant so much to us, and I can honestly say she is the reason I then joined KOA.
Aug 25, 2021
Very clean. Grounds are well maintained. Spotless restrooms. Staff very friendly and always helpfull.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us at Russell Springs KOA. THE KOA brand is known for it clean facilities and we work had to maintain our restroom for you our customers.

Enjoyed the bluegrass music. Host was very nice. Grounds were pleasant. Swim area was nice with a nice game room. The only undesirables notes was the amount of people with open liquor containers and open use of alcohol. Would not consider as family friendly as other places. But noting this bluegrass exhibition was open to out side public entrance at a fee per person.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The Bluegrass Festival is a outstanding event for all bluegrass lovers. We are so glad you were able to join us.
Aug 21, 2021
The staff was very friendly but some of the older seasonal trailers made the campgrounds appear to be rundown.
Aug 14, 2021
It was a short stay but very nice the only thing was the roads down to are camping area could use some work.
Aug 13, 2021
The campground was about 15 miles out of town. We did not realize that. The campsites around us, about 6 or 7, were apparently rented to groups that leave their campers there and just come in for the weekend. On Friday night they came in and were loud and kids riding bikes all over and almost ran over me. The kids came and turned on the water at the vacant campsite by us and we're out at 10:45.

We are 7 miles off the Cumberland Parkway on beautiful Lake Cumberland.

The campsite was awesome. Everyone was very friendly and took time to check and make sure we had what we needed. We highly recommend this KOA.
Aug 10, 2021
Got in late and left early so I didn't do much, the pool looked well kept and the grounds looked nice and they helped me park.
Aug 09, 2021
Great campground. Very peaceful and quiet. Plenty of room between camp sites. Super nice people. I had a number of packages and they were incredibly nice about it. Clean bathrooms and laundry room. Very nice campground.
Aug 09, 2021
Nice stay but a little out of the way. Worked for us though.
Aug 07, 2021
put out in a field, no shade, enrance road withoud trucks, lot behind us had boat trailers going Nd coming

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry your encountered issues with you site. We are fortunate enough to have boat parking for our customers that come to beautiful; Lake Cumberland.
Oct 23, 2026
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.
