This is our second time coming and we will definitely be coming back. Staff is very friendly. Fishing, hiking, kids play area. There is plenty to do if interested or if you are just wanting to sit back and relax around the fire, this is the place. Your choice on how you want to spend your get away and this is a nice place to try just that. Also to note, WiFi is very good!!
Todd Strickland
Overall a wonderful place to camp! I'd give 4.5 if able! The first view coming down the hill is spectacular with the river and cliff face greeting you. Great full hook ups! While ideally one is coming to camp to get away, in this day and age, having a reliable Wi-Fi is increasingly important and some more money should be put into theirs because phone and text and other service was quite bad.

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.

We had a great time at Cummins Ferry RV Park. The view was gorgeous. The people were friendly and very helpful. They created opportunities for everyone to get involved. The grounds are clean and kept. The only issue was quiet time was not kept. Our neighbor was up at 6:30 every morning talking and laughing outside our bedroom window. They also had a party until almost midnight one night. Other than that, great experience

We've stayed at Cummins Ferry twice and have enjoyed both trips. The staff is super friendly, they have a very nice store, and you'd better watch out for Bigfoot wandering about!! 😳This time the prices seemed to be a little higher, but I understand they recently changed management and are making a lot of improvements. The waterfall on the river is beautiful! It rained pretty hard the day we arrived, so some of the sites were pretty sloppy. Everything seemed to dry out quickly once the weather cleared up. On our previous trip we put our kayaks in the river and enjoyed an afternoon kayaking up river, having lunch, and floating back. There are goats on the hills a little way upstream from the campground, which was pretty cool. They had live music on Saturday night with a food truck, which was a lot of fun. We were able to meet a few of our fellow campers. They have a lot of kids activities. In spite of the higher prices, we will be coming back. They're still working on several improvements, so it may be a little premature to use the terms "luxurious" and "resort" but it seems they're heading that way! Happy camping!

Beautiful campground and the staff are all amazing. So helpful from check in to check out. Bathrooms and laundry room were very clean and well maintained. Country store is super cute! Wood available for purchase. Weekend music and food truck created such a down to earth friendly vibe and overall wonderful experience. Would definitely come back again!

Tucked away in the rolling hills, Cummins Ferry offers stunning views of the Kentucky River in a serene setting. The staff was kind and welcoming - the kind of people who you can tell love their job. Even though we were just staying one night, we were invited to a potluck dinner organized by the site. The food did not disappoint!! Amenities include a shop for supplies and souvenirs, kayaks for rent and walking trails both in the forest and along the river. Renovations like new parking pads and decks will only continue to improve this gem.

This campground was very quiet with a super friendly and accommodating staff. The bathhouse was bright and sparkling clean. Our campsite had a beautiful view. Many improvements are ongoing to make this campground even more attractive to travelers like patios and extra parking places. One of the most relaxing weeks we've ever spent camping. Can't wait to go back and see what's been done since we left.
