Exceptional campground - we are full-time RVers - many places to compare Cummins Ferry to. Easy to reserve and contact with questions, great check-in process. Helpful staff while on-site - Thanks Kevin! BEAUTIFUL grounds! The river is so nice and we appreciate the community fire over-looking the river - what a wonderful evening! The free live music was enjoyable. The WIFI is the best we have encountered - and FREE! This park permits Amazon deliverers - which is Awesome and necessary for full-timers. We will gladly stay again when visiting this area. We also enjoyed Keeneland racetrack and the Burbon Trail in this area.

The staff were so kind and accommodating. There were many activities to enjoy. One could kayak, fish, hike or just relax in a beautiful place. The Halloween activities were such fun! I am looking forward to camping there again soon. I must add that it is kid and pet friendly as well. Their store is really interesting too.

We stayed here about a week and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This park has so much charm and the people running it are some of the nicest folks around. It's right on the Kentucky River and offers lots of fun activities including kayak rentals, Frisbee golf, karaoke, and live music just to name a few. The location is perfect if you are doing the Kentucky Bourbon Trail too. What an absolute gem of an RV park. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to camp.

The campground is so peaceful right on the KY River and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. Loved the fall decor so many pumpkins and corn stalks really made it special. The staff was wonderful so friendly and always visible driving around the campground. Would definitely stay here again and recommend the park to others. Just FYI your park was recommended by a local winery that we have visited several times.
