RV Reviews

The owner was helpful in providing a portable fire ring so that we could put it in a more convenient spot for our site location and it was quiet, not on HWY. On the negative it appeared as if 80% of the campground was either permanent/seasonal so the campsites were not very attractive; big storage bins and other clutter surrounding the RV/travel trailers. Very little live "green" space per site.

Very friendly owners. Only reason that this isn’t a 5 is because we couldn’t judge the showers or restrooms which were closed due to Covid 19 protocols mandated by the state. We are staying here again next week!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Unfortunately, our Governor has the restrooms closed until 6/11/20. Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Very nice sites. Owners did the best they could considering the restrictions placed on them during Covid-19. We were happy to have a place to camp. We already have reservations for June. That will make our 4th time staying there.

We love our repeat customers. Looking forward to seeing you in June.

Accommodations OK. Owners are good people. Campground is more of a lake oriented resort. Nowhere near "easy on easy off". Miles of curvy rural roads to Interstate. Not recommended for big rigs.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We are seven miles off the Cumberland Parkway and one mile from Beautiful Lake Cumberland.

John and his team are great! We were a first time seasonal renter this year and we can't wait for next season to start. The team at the Russell Springs KOA keep the grounds well maintained and free of trash and debris. Even thought the bath houses could use an update, they are always spotless! we really enjoyed the Bluegrass Festival but we wish that the campground had a big Halloween celebration

Since it was late in the season the area where our campsite was had only 2 campers. Us and another couple who had 2 large dogs. They kept the dogs tethered out side and every time we came outside they barked like crazy! Sucked most of the fun out of our stay. We are always reluctant to report this type of activity thinking management would see and act. Maybe next time.

Great place to stay. Very friendly staff. Very Kid Friendly!

The campground was clean. We had a friendly greeting when we arrived and the checkin process was easy, followed by a guide to our camp site. We were in some pull thru sites that were quiet, and somewhat secluded. Everything worked as its supposed to. The only negative is the campground has a very worn, outdated appearance to it.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

So glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We are always working to improve and update our campground. Please visit us again.

It rained right after we got there and it was a mud hole next to where we had to hook everything up. So after 1 night we left.Nice park but for the price it was not worth it.
Aug 11, 2019
We enjoyed our stay. The pool was nice. The staff was great. The only downfall was the flies. It was hard to eat outside as they were terrible.
Aug 08, 2019
The staff was friendly and helpful but the sites were not very level and the cable was sketchy at best. The signal was so weak we would lose reception about every 3-5 minutes. The recreation building was not air conditioned and was extremely hot. This is an older park that needs some updating. There appeared to be a lot of permanent residents.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you staying at Russell Springs KOA. Our cable is provided by the local cable company and is state of the art fiber optic.

One of the most beautiful places we've stayed. Only down fall poor internet.
Aug 03, 2019
Park was quiet and nice site. Couldn't make bogen into assigned pullthru site which they said was because I booked on line and should have called. I've never had this problem before and did indicate the size of rig in notes. Upon going into electric, no power. That said. The park quickly figured the problem and were accommodating to get us in a spot. Seems to be a lot of permanent rvs i
Aug 03, 2019
The plus is the staff are very friendly and accommodating. I had to cut my trip short since I telework and rely on thes internet to do my job. Internet was horrible and there was absolutely now cell service. Doggie park was small and far away without water for the dogs. Bathrooms weren't the cleanest.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are sorry your camping experience did not met your expectations. Unfortunately lightening had knocked out one of our two WiFi transponders. ATT doesn't pay to use the cell tower 1/4 mile from our campground so there there is very little phone service for their customers..

Great campground. The two men Mike and Josh, that lead us to our site were excellent, they couldn't do enough for us and came back and made sure everything was OK. Again they assisted us another day with the laundry facilities. They gave us good information on where to kayak and tips on where to put in and parking. We would highly recommend this campground and all the staff were terrific.
Jul 29, 2019
Ck in great, staff are great! We were visiting family at the Alligator II Marina & the location was perfect. Road into campground needs to be repaired (several big dips in the paving). Campground not at fault, but no ATT phone service. Had to drive to find service. WiFi in campground down. They advised lightning had struck & not been repaired. I would stay again. Really need WiFi working.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for staying with us at Russell Springs KOA. The WiFi transponder was knocked out by lightening and was being repaired. Our location makes it a great place to stay while visiting beautiful Lake Cumberland.

The campground itself has some nice amentities like the pool and rev room. Mini golf is a bit old. Our site was in a big field area due to our size (38 ft), no trees for shade. The lower area did have a lot of shade. The staff was super nice and helpful, we had to leave early and they were very accommodating to us.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us at Russell Springs KOA. We hate you had to leave early. Please come back and see us.

Russell Springs KOA is only one mile from beautiful Lake Cumberland and is the perfect place to stay to enjoy the lake. Thanks for staying with us.
Jul 15, 2019
Great facilities and there was only one issue with the water shutting off once during my trip but was resolved quickly. Great place to pull in and get some rest. Kids loved the pool.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We did have a water leak which happens every once in a while which necessitates shutting off the water to fix the leak. We are glad it was resolved quickly.

Located on the high banks of lake Cumberland the campground is quiet and reasonably priced. Spots were easy to get in and out of and utilities worked fine for the whole stay. Staff were friendly and facilities were nice.
