OUR RATING (1-5): I-4

NOTES:  We have stayed here twice. The CG is right on the Kentucky River. Not a lot of shade but a beautiful valley. A bit pricey at $30/night. There are showers, laundry facilities, and a large community room where they enjoy watching Univ of Kentucky sports on TV. It is about 13 miles from Versailles and shopping. It is safe and has a few long-term residents.  They have a boat ramp. There is excellent fishing and great kayaking.

Environment:  The campground is down in a deep gorge right on the Kentucky River amidst heavy woods.  

Amenities:  A few items available at the commons with showers and laundry. 

Phone Service:  Verizon is poor.

Location:  About 13 miles from Versailles, KY.   Away from any shopping area. 

Camping Population:  There were a number of long-time residents.  Our neighbor was working a short-term job in a nearby town and decided to camp instead of find an apartment.  Other neighbors were locals who had left their units and went to the campground on weekends. 

Sites:  Not a lot of shade in any of the sites but large and right on the river.
