This campground is awesome in all ways! It’s right off the interstate but behind some gas stations and in walking distance of a Mexican restaurant. It was great clean bathrooms with hot water and great pressure. The owner is so friendly and accommodating and really made us feel welcomed. It had a pool, laundry room, and plenty of space for activities. There was also a pond you can fish from. Our dog loved it and so did we!

Super friendly veteran greeted us and assigned our site, then led us over to it and made sure we were ok. A tad low in front but the levelers compensated. Water and sewer convenient and ok. Power was a little sketchy as the breaker on the power pole tripped a couple times during our stay (1st time in years). The guy across the street had more serious issues with an open ground on the campground feed. Had some annoying neighbors for the first day there, but they left and other folks were fine. A little pricey ($52/night) for being almost an hour north of Nashville. Overall, despite the neighbor issues and high price, we would stay here again. Entrance is a bit tricky – turn in like you are going to the One Nine gas station, then make a jog to the right and then quickly to the left and go onto the small street to the right, and NOT adjacent to the Cat scale, further right.

We broke up our trip from Florida to the Chicago suburbs and this place is fantastic. Easy access, incredible, friendly people, and spotless facilities. We got there after hours and Hank, one of the owners, took us right to our lot made sure everything was hooked up correctly. I could not ask for more.

Location is right off I-65! Jim is so nice and accommodating, he got us booked over the phone and was so helpful. Upon arrival we checked it and bought wood and ice at the house. Tent sites are “Deluxe” meaning you have a small pavilion with a built in light and a very nice gravel pad for your tent. Fire pit and picnic table included. Mexican restaurant across the field, Jim mows a path!! 10/10 we would stay here again. (Hubby & I in a tent)

Very clean, convenient and super nice staff. Henry and his wife were so friendly and helpful, even after hours. Loved having a dog park area for our pup to explore. My son enjoyed fishing. So many amenities! We will be back!!!

"Apparently those giving this place a 5 star rating has never stayed at a 5 star campground. This is a 2-3 star rating at best. Dusty gravel roads with potholes you can bury a small car in and muddy. Gravel roads are washed out with canyons in them. The fishing pond is covered in algae and fallen trees. Campers are stacked on top of each other like a trailer park." Worst experience ever prepare for the summer when everyones breakers flip, I'd give a negative -0 rating if I had a choice.

A “hidden gem.” We were working in the area & able to secure a same day, overnight stay. Friendly staff, easy to find & well maintained park. Really quiet & overall a great find. Actually have to come back to the area soon & opted to stay here again! (The Mexican restaurant up the hill was a great recommendation from staff as well)
Mark Robbins
Well located near Interstate 65 just north of Franklin KY. We had a pull through. They have extended stay Most campers were well kept. A few were trashy. Only 25 minutes from Bowling Green

I was passing through and this was a PERFECT place to stay. Henry actually stayed around later to meet me when I arrived to make sure I got to my site. The site was a pull through, level and large enough I kept the trailer hooked to the truck. All electrical and water/sewer were easy to reach. I will definitely be staying again!!
