I really don't understand all the negative reviews. This isn't a modern, characterless, concrete type of RV park with all the amenities, but it was a lovely 4-day stay over 4th of July weekend. We got one of the few 50 amp w/sewer sites and had to jockey around a bit to get clear sight for our Satellite but had no problems getting to the site or set up. The roads ARE gravel, but we had no problem maneuvering within the park. Yes, the entry driveway is steep and narrow, but we never "dragged" on the way in. The owners are kind of "quirky" but very nice and helpful. They had the best fireworks show over the lake for the 4th that I've seen in many years. I really like the fact that there is a designated "adult" pool as well as a "family" one. We were visiting friends in Taylorsville and will definitely stay here again when visiting. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is very poorly maintained. Bath/Pool house needs a make over and lots of paint. Roads/Sites need a lot of new gravel. Grass areas need to be mowed and bailed. I can't count the number of chiggers I have. Way not worth the price. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owner of this camp assured us that our 42' MH would be no problem. The problem was a poorly maintained access road with a 5 degree 'u' hill that had to be traversed...first down and then up. The owner told me to make sure that I picked up speed going down so I didn't get stuck in the mud going up. I made it but I scraped my Hydro-hot exhaust pipe and had grass and mud on the left side of my rig. This was due to large potholes in the gravel road on this hill. The site is all gravel and the entrance to the park has a hill and tight right turn that drags the undercarriage when entering. When exiting they were trees rubbing against the side of the rig. All of this for $30 bucks/night. Suggest another site for large MH's. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent place to go camping. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Very quite & peaceful. They have approx. a five acre lake to fish in, Two swimming pools (1-family, 1-adult). Would have given a "10" rating if they would have had sewer at all sites. Only a few sites have this hook up. Otherwise, I would greatly recommend this place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An excellent campground with spacious sites. They isn't much to do but it is a great place to get away from everything. Cell service is good and you get 4 TV stations out of Louisville with antenna. The small town of Taylorsville is a short drive away and you can usually find what you need. Sure wish they had full hookups. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a lovely small campground with oversize camp sites but few shade trees. We camped in a motorhome over the July 4 weekend and found the campground to be very family friendly. We had a pull-through level site with 50 amp and water. The dump station is within the campground. There is a separate camping area for people with horses and also a nice primitive area. The paved roads were great for biking, as well as the playground. The modern bathhouse was cleaned daily and very nice. The marina & boat rentals was about 10 miles away. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice, clean, well maintained campground. We stayed here two nights. It is pretty, but most of the big trees are on the edges of this campground, since it is only about seven years old. In another 5 or 10 years there will be lots of big, pretty trees filling this campground since the small ones will have grown by then. The spaces are far enough apart for some privacy and it is a nice campground. You don't get to see the lake from any of the campsites, however. We enjoyed our stay and we will come back when we want to stay somewhere quiet and peaceful. It's a short drive to Louisville with all of its attractions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice, well kept State Park, This was our 3rd try at a Kentucky SP, and I must say this is by far the best we have encountered! It is a small cg with only 45 sites, but that made it all the more pleasant. The sites were very clean, the rest rooms were very, very clean and security was present over the weekend. We would definitely stay here again. The staff was very accommodating and they let us switch sites with no problem. There is an excellent pull-thru horse campground on one side of the campground, very nice.One note, there is a very nice lake,for boat rentals or fishing, but not much else to do in Taylorsville, however its about 30 miles to Louisville and other attractions within that range. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice wide sites. Security patrol. Playground for kids. Nice relaxing campground. Already made reservations for a return trip. Plenty of hiking and biking trails. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This a beautiful and well maintained campground and will only get better as the trees grow to provide shade. However, don't come expecting to enjoy lake views. There are lots of trails but only one trail that actually takes you to a view over the water. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This well maintained and beautifully situated park offers wide, generous sites and plenty of space between sites. Many trees in the park are young and yet to offer much shade. The surrounding horse country and Louisville are nearby attractions. Most enjoyable was the extreme quiet at night (except for some active coyote calling). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We love this campground! The shower house is cleaner than most hotel rooms I've stayed in and the cleanest of any campground we've been to. It is a very short haul to launch our boat into Taylorsville lake and a great place with the exception of shade trees. There is really only one site that gets afternoon shade and it is also the only pull thru site. We have camped here often and highly recommend it. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Overall, a nice state park campground although it is very new. The trees are very small. Campsites are large and graveled with picnic table and lantern pole on each site. Large dump station with two stations. Not very close to anything in particular (there's not much in Taylorsville). Still, a good place for a group of campers to congregate. My main complaint is the teeny tiny gravel they use on the campsites. I'll be vacuuming that up for the next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
