The Levi Jackson Park playground in London, KY is a great spot for kids with a variety of equipment. It's clean and well-maintained. Just remember, the park's beauty is a community effort, so please pick up your trash to keep it clean for everyone.

Nice campground with several activities for kids to do. Campsites are adequate. Would like to have more sites with full hook up. Surrounding area is great.

The park is busy. Like most Friday afternoons more and more campers trickle in. It's the ones that come after 11 that get under your skin. That should not be allowed. The bathrooms are clean, warm and have warm showers however the showers are pushing buttons and that can be cumbersome. They are not ADA compliant. The person at the gate was really hospitable and welcoming. There are lots of amenities at the park. We enjoyed the Mill next door and walking the grounds.

Very great sight seeing! We walked from the first spot to the actual park where my son went and played! He absolutely loved it he’s a little nature bug! 10/10 would recommend as a spot for cookouts, family gatherings, and just the park itself!
