Elkhorn campground is very unfriendly. Bigots! We were asked to leave because of our appearence. A couple of the men camping with us had long hair. One also had some tattoos. You must be in your camper by 11:00p.m., no sitting outside your camper after quiet hour begins, even if you are just sitting quietly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is a parking lot type campground. Sites are extremely close together with no privacy between sites. There are many seasonal campers here. The back-in sites are not angled so it was very difficult to back in without hitting a vehicle or another camper. Entrance is a narrow one lane road. We stayed here for an overnight stay and we will not be coming back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is very nice park for either an overnight or several days stay. Weekends might not be the best time, due to the large number of seasonal sights. The pool was great and a welcome treat after a long day on the road. Showers and toilets were clean. The previous comment about the narrow entrance road is accurate, no way can two rigs get by each other. My disappointment with this park was the lady in the office....she was rude when we checked in (I forgot the license number of my MH) and when I told her we were on our way home from Bristol she complained about that being the reason they were so busy on a Sunday night.."all those NASCAR fans." Still it was a nice stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is OK. Sites are long enough for our big rig to fit easily, but very narrow. Thank goodness for wide road to allow us to maneuver into site. Staff was nice. Lots of people seemed to be enjoying the pool. A VERY BIG CAUTION !! DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 1pm. Entrance road is a one lane road and narrow. Someone would have to back up a long way!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is perfect. It has every amenity, is spotless clean. Family owned. It was not busy when we stayed. We thought the sites were large and grassy. Cable TV was a great surprise! I seldom give a "10" rating, but this campground deserves it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a great experience. We booked for 2 nights and came back and extended it, first 2 nights more and then 2 nights more, I hated to leave. The site was on a concrete slap with grass bordering it, like a lawn, big mature trees around everywhere, beautiful. The Camp is Family owned and everyone works and lives there, mother, sons, daughters, uncle etc. one can see all the effort they put into it. Although we where told the WIFI would not work so far away, it worked like a charm, as did everything else. Absolutely no complaints. It is clean with flowers, the pool is great, has minigolf, fishing, areas for kids to play and is very quiet with lots of birds to make it a happy place. We glady would come back here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent two weekend nights at this campground. Overall, it was a decent experience, but we were disappointed that the grounds were covered with dog poop. Seriously, every time we walked behind our RV, which was on the side of the campground by the creek, we all stepped in dog poop. It was awful. The owners need to clean up the grounds and be more stringent about people cleaning up after their pets. The campground was also very crowded, with some sites so close to the other ones that there was literally only about 10 feet or less between campsites. They do have sites with sewer and cable, but those are in the middle of the campground and on the side where there's just a field, and not adjacent to the creek. The owners were nice, however, and people seemed to respect the quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., so that was good. I wouldn't camp here again, however, until the grounds are more sanitary and people clean up after their pets. (I am a big animal lover, this isn't an anti-pet review. I had my golden retriever with me and we cleaned up after him.) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Only place in Frankfort to stay. It's close enough to Lexington to serve as a good park for both towns. And even Louisville is only 50 miles away. We liked the park and the people who run it. We did not like the number of trees in the park. There are way too many. It was pure luck that we got a site where our DirecTV antenna would work. We also got one of the sites where the Wi-Fi was good. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Exceptionally clean restrooms. Narrow road into the park so you don't want to meet another RV on the way in or out. WFfi was slow but it worked. We were 3 rows away from the office. Staff was very helpful. Some spots [non pull throughs] were a little dicey to get in to. Cable TV was fuzzy. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a most delightful RV park, full of gorgeous old-growth trees, level, paved sites, spotless restrooms, a beautiful river running through it--everything you could possibly want in a campground or RV park. The canopy of trees prevents satellite dishes from working at most sites, but they have very good, clear, free cable TV with about 80 channels.The free WiFi is available in probably half the sites. In over 30 years of camping, we have never met nicer people than those who own and operate this place, absolutely wonderful, kind folks. You will fall in love with this place. We had a reservation for one night and, when we arrived, we kept extending it for a total of three weeks. Wonderful place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If internet access is important to you, this is probably not a good campground for you. Wifi is only available sometimes and only at one particular place in the pavilion. Unfortunately, that's also where there is a pool table, a juke box, and several video games that never stop making noise. The restroom stalls have really low ceilings, but otherwise, this is a perfectly nice place, especially if you have kids. We stayed 4 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground was nice, spaces were wide, owners were very friendly and helpful. We stayed there on the way to our destination AND on the way home. Bike riding was easy. All facilities worked as expected. We would difinitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good paved RV resort campground. Have two playgrounds and a pool for the kids. Nice large stream to go tubing. Landscape is excellent with grass everywhere, trees well trimmed, mud not an issue in event of rain. In the process of adding concrete pads—our site had one which was nice. Most sites have paved level driveways with enough room for a large camper and vehicle. Site size is adequate. Cleanest bathrooms using quality building materials suitable for the pickiest of relatives. Helpful hosts-assisted in an RV repair issue. Nice compromise for those that want a quiet place to camp— not too noisy or festive and not too rustic, but have enough to keep the kids busy. All the comforts of home with which we had full hookup and cable. Excellent value for all the amenities that a camp ground can offer. Fee includes 8 of us and a pet less the Good Sam discount. Will come back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park in general. The road to/from campground off of highway goes through a residential area on a narrow road and would present a problem if one met another MH coming in opposite direction and a similar situation exists in part of park road itself. The pull through sites are accessed over grass and onto a gravel base. Rain has made grass soggy so sank in some as I approached the gravel. I was impressed that trees were trimmed well enough not to present a problem for paint scratching with the exception of two spots. The numbers on sites are difficult to see/read so a night time entrance is difficult - would like to see them escort when its pitch dark or install more visible site numbers on pull thrus especially. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A lovely, heavily treed campground with nice paved sites and paved roads. Excellent cable TV, but wi-fi reaches only in the immediate area of the office. The park has nice wide spaces and good ingress and egress. Unfortunately, none of the pull through spots has sewer. Still, I would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a real nice place and makes a good base to tour the Frankfort area. We highly recommend the free factory tour at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. You can learn a lot about how they make Bourbon there. We had a concrete base and a wooden deck. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Everything was in excellent condition. The laundry was modest, but very clean and inexpensive. The roads were paved and the slip was concrete. They even had a wooden deck on the side of the slip. The free cable TV had been recently upgraded to include almost 100 channels. The people were really nice and we really enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice and kid friendly, we have 2 kids under 4 and they both a had a blast, the CG is very quite even with all the kids. No golf carts allowed which mad my stay that much better/safer. I will stay at this CG again in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A quiet, pleasant and well maintained campground. An easy 5 miles from the interstate and a good base for exploring the capital city, including distilleries and chocolate factory. The shower rooms are being remodelled but are clean and tidy. We would return again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
