My husband and I had the pleasure of being able to visit this beautiful park January 31st, 2025. We were not able to stay long because we had to head back to Michigan, we were only in town for the day for work but we will most definitely be back! The museum was very interesting I definitely wish I was able to spend more time there! The nature center was beautiful! They have so many activities to offer those who love history and nature! I wish I could give more feedback but in the short time we were able to spend there I was impressed. All the individuals working in the park were kind and informative i look forward to being able to visit again to explore the entire park!

Audubon is a convenient place since you're right on the strip in Henderson, KY. The sites are fairly level and one of the easiest places I've leveled up. Water and electricity are the only services provided at each site. So, if you're going to be there for any length of time, I recommend having an auxiliary waste tank. The bathhouse is ok, but it did not have hot water when we were there. The water hookups are >50' from most sites, so make sure you have a long enough hose. The grounds are very dusty with patchy grass. The hiking is moderately easy with well marked trails. The museum is worth the admission price. Overall, the campground is a fair choice, in my opinion. It is a great place for newbie campers to learn since there are numerous stores minutes away.

Well packed campground. Beach could use some sand and has lots of rocks on the concrete bottom, even after I cleared many of them out from the area where we were. Bathrooms are clean and the sunsets are great. Restaurant at Huticane Marina was closed when we were there, as were the other nearby restaurants. It was a Sunday and Monday though so didn't expect too much. Staff was friendly and helpful as were other campers we met. The playground was awesome. Good place for kids.

We stayed at Audubon State Park for the 2024 Solar Eclipse and really enjoyed our stay! The camping facilities were great -- the drive looks like it was recently repaved and our kids enjoyed riding their scooters during our stay! Nice playground for the kids at the camp site and covered pavilion available for use in case of weather. The rangers and park naturalists did some great activities for the Eclipse event which was a nice surprise! The park itself is beautiful and easily walkable to from the campground to access trails. My only complaint is that the campground is right at the entrance of the park so expect road noise during your camping stay. Another beautiful Kentucky State Park!

Absolutely beautiful park. The park currently has "Welcome Wednesdays" where admission to the museum and such are free. Nice gift shop, friendly staff. Nature center staff alerted to fact they were feeding animals, and we got to see a snake eat. Trails we went on are beautiful but very hilly. We did the Eagle Glen, and it was the hilliest of the few we hiked. We also took Warbler Road to Wilderness Lake trail and then branched off on Scenic Overlook trails. The overlook had beautiful views of the lake. We saw deer mulitple places, and ducks and lots of turtles at the lake. Also you can take stairs to the top of tower.
