Location was wonderful! Site 101 was a nice, big, fairly level pull through. Daughter was in cabin 37 right across from us. Very nice well appointed cabin. It was just right for their family of 4. Lots of things to do. Only thing that was less than wonderful was that all the amenities closed at 7:00. So if you are out during the day there is not a lot of time to enjoy.
We absolutely loved it here! We went in June and spent a few days. Important to have a golf cart because this place is huge! Great ponds to fish in and things for the kids to do. Jellystone never disappoints!
Overall this was a nice campground to stay at with a few minor hiccups. We brought our family of four and stayed in one of the Huckleberry cabins. We arrived after check in time, but had to wait a whole hour for our room to be ready. Based off of others experiences, this is the norm. Do not expect to arrive at 3pm and get the key to your cabin. The cabin itself was the perfect size for our family, and had great air conditioning, a full sized bathroom and a large screened in porch. The kitchen was stocked with most of the essentials, but was curiously missing a few items like baking pans. When we asked the front desk about getting some brought to the cabin, it took six hours and a second request to finally get them. The property itself is pretty large, but we got around just fine in our car and saved the money it costs to rent a golf cart. The facilities are great if you have young kids. Our girls really enjoyed the pool, beach and playground. The craft center was a nice find when the weather turned rainy, and gave us some indoor entertainment for a while. The place was packed on a Saturday night, with loud golf carts buzzing around all night. It was much more peaceful on Sunday evening. The prices are a bit high on the cabins, but they do offer a military discount which helped us save a good bit of money. Overall it was a nice stay, though I'd probably avoid visiting on a Saturday night if I could help it.
We only stayed for two nights, so we didn't do the full experience. The kids went on the wibbit and had a great time. They have two pools, which was nice. They also have a man-made beach. The cabins are a little pricey, but not too bad. I wish the cabins were a little more spaced out, though. The putt-putt needs to be updated, maintained,and better-lit at night. It's free for campers and is 24 hours, but it is also nothing to write home about. They also didn't have pencils or score sheets when we went, which was around 10pm.
Second visit, first time staying. Campground is in good shape. Staying 4 nights on our 10 day trip here. Recommend the fishing pond back in sites in the back of the camp. (Will need a golf cart) Park is HUGE. Pond and pools (2) are both incredible. They do have lots to offer for the kids which is great. Will definitely come back. A+ for a jellystone.
Our campsite was clean and since we came at night, our neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Staff was GREAT, helpful, nice and went beyond! Showers were clean and so was pools! They had a pudding slip and slide for all ages and a kickball game that we all enjoyed and wished it lasted longer! Beach was great. Would recommend to any family especially special needs kids. The ones I saw were so happy and content and tired! Loved this place, lovely kentucky hills!
This campground is poorly managed. Many buildings are in need of maintenance and repairs. There are 2 pools. One looks older and needs some major repairs as tile has fallen off the sides. The sites are not level. Our site was filthy when arriving. No one looked it over before we arrived. The water activities look fun, but the water slide is out of order. They have golf cart rentals, but there doesn’t seem to be any monitoring of who is driving them because we saw very young children driving them all over. No one obeys the speed limit or stop signs, including staff. There is a lot to do here and if you are planning to use those amenities this would be an okay place to stay. The activities schedule is amazing. If you only want a pool to cool off after hiking and such, I would stay somewhere else.
My family had a great time! We stayed in a bluegrass cabin. My children loved the loft. Don’t forget coffee filters. I appreciate the staff at the pedal carts. They assisted my children when they were going the wrong way or if they drove off the track. In the summer the jumping pillows are very hot, but wearing socks helped. The park is clean. Staff and other visitors were friendly. There were many shaded areas including the beach, parks, and pools. We had a blast riding the golf carts.
I’ve been going here ever since I was 3 years old and it was one of my favorite vacation spots growing up. The whole family would travel down for their famous water wars weekend which sadly ended a few years back and I’ve never returned. The campground has lots of stuff to do especially for kids and family. But nothing will ever top families traveling from all over the Country to have one massive water wars fight across the campground each year. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had.
We always come to this park every year this year it was totally different my daughter rented a cabin she paid extra to get towels and washcloths and sheets it took all day to get them because we kept asking workers and finally they brought them to her her front door lock was messed up for three days she stayed in it not safe because she couldn’t lock it finally my husband Charles went and talk to someone that was off duty he went and got a lock and put it on her door with Charles’s help they never told us that the big pool wasn’t working that’s the only reason why we came is because of the pool and the slide which it said on the website that the slide wasn’t working but we didn’t see that they don’t do the flag racing anymore which my kids loved doing that every morning took the boats out they the whip bit was smaller it just wasn’t the same half of the activities they didn’t have And we couldn’t even use the one pool because it was so crowded so many people in it We also ask for the manager they gave us the managers email we emailed her two days ago and still haven’t got a response from her it would have been nice if she would have emailed us back We was outside oh 28 my daughter was on site oh 61.

Great staff and sites! Only bad thing was that the campground was like a golf cart race track all day, can't imagine what it's like when the campground is full. Other than that beautiful campground with tons to do. Pretty quiet at night also.
This place is fun for the entire family. We loved driving the golf cart around, swimming, going to the beach, and the water slide. Then, we had a campfire at your own cabin. What could be more fun than that? We have already been twice this year and plan to go back. While you are here, visit Dinoworld next door and Kentucky Down Under Zoo.

The campground was beautiful and the staff was great! Near the interstate, but still peaceful. We loved being so close to Mammoth Cave National Park.
Park staff is super friendly and really want you to enjoy being there. The sites are close together, but leveled with nice grassy areas in between. You are not allowed trailers of any kind at your site due to the site lengths being on the shorter side. Park them by the Activity Center in the lot. We used the indoor spa. It was perfect temperature with good jets and clean. The store is amazing. Best stocked store we've seen on our journey with Thousand Trails from WA to TX to FL to ME. Nice location out in the middle of agricultural land tucked into a wooded area.
The grounds are always clean, the staff is amazing they always go above and beyond to be helpful. They are very knowledgable, cheerful and super friendly. I don’t think we have ever stayed where staff members are willing to lend a helping hand as much as they are. Our numerous stays have always been wonderful. The pool is clean and well maintained. The playground area is always clean and safe. We feel very safe letting our grandchildren ride bikes, play and just be kids. I can’t say enough good things about them.
There was a heat advisory this 4th weekend. We booked a week and the pool was closed almost this whole week. Told due to kids messing with stuff. Well those kids if true, should have had parents there and if not should have been approached. Heard other rumors that made more sense as both pools were closed not just campground pool. I feel we were all lied too and a partial refund should be given since more money was spent having to go elsewhere to keep cool.
Very nice campground with friendly staff. Well kept, nice pool and playground. They had live music two nights which was very nice. They had a non-denominational church service Sunday morning and a free breakfast that followed. Clean bathrooms and hot showers and laundry facility.
Very nice RV Park within a few minutes of the wonderful Mammoth Cave National Park, and across the street from the amazing Diamond Caverns caves. Located in a beautiful area of Ky. The staff were exceptional and extremely caring and helpful. Had severe weather coming in one evening and the staff went to every campsite advising them of it and making sure they knew where to go for a tornado shelter. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This KOA was great. Bathrooms clean and sites were clean. Great place for kiddos, had a great playground with a woody pirate ship. They also had a jumping blob and dog park. I was very satisfied with the experience!!
Stayed there overnight, really didn't get a good chance to explore all they have, but the dog run the grounds looks really well maintained and we look forward to stopping again on the way back south. They work really hard on the property and to make you stay pleasant.
Great campground with multiple amenities! We had some trouble with our jacks not going up when we checked out & the maintenance man (didn’t catch his name) was fantastic!!! He supplied us with some tools and helped us out with what he could. Highly recommend staying here!!
Always enjoy camping here. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Plenty of hot water. Lots to do here.
This is a nice campground. We appreciated a little grassy area on the sites for our dog. The sites were spaced nicely, not too tight together. Our only complaint is the water in the showers continuously fluctuates from warm to cold and you have no control of the water temperature.
Me and my family have been staying at this KOA the past few summers and could not ask for any better manager and help at the front desk. One of the cleanest RV parks I've ever stayed at and love the location where it's at. They sure do know how to make you feel welcome and they have any kind of activity you are looking for when you are camping. Definitely recommend it!
Very nice Campground, super clean and well maintained. The owners/management were very accommodating.Pull thru RV sites, ponds to fish, trampolines and playgrounds, this campground has everything and is located super close to all grocery stores etc
This was our 2nd time camping here! The staff is friendly, the sites were clean and well taken care of! The campground is very quiet and relaxing! We will definitely be back!!
Great time with hubby and the girls! This KOA has it all and growing! Great people, helping and friendly staff. A place you can afford to relax. We enjoyed the cabins this time! Thank You, Sydney, Ashlyn, Daniel, and all!!! ❤
We arrived late and with no reservations. Called the after hours number and a lady offered to come meet us. We told her it was our first time using our RV and she helped us a lot! Very easy to hook up to electricity, the camp was quiet and nicely located. Will be back in a month!
