Always love camping at wax, I have met some of the nicest people at this campground, the host are amazing (the lush family). The grass around the sites got a little tall this year for some reason. The only bad thing about this campground is how early it closes, there is still a ton of good camping left after it closes. I don’t see why it can’t stay open like the other campgrounds. It’s very unfortunate that I don’t visit the lake after Labor Day, one it’s too hard to get a site at the other two campgrounds and the sites aren’t as good! Help me out corps and make this happen! Thank you and I’ll see you next year!!

Love camping on the water. The view of the lake is so pretty. Just to enjoy & relax. We have seen a eagle & otters. This is one of our favorite campground. People are very friendly.

The roads are okay but the trees in places could use a trim. The bathrooms were large and kept clean

We have stayed at this campground several times and have absolutely loved it! Spacious sites, clean bath houses and very friendly park attendants have made it one of our favorite places to camp.

We love this campground better than any we have stayed at. Everyone is like family. The hosts (the Lush’s) are the best to see that all your needs are met. I just wish this campground would not close after Labor Day weekend due to the fall having such good camping. This is by far the friendliest and best campground on Nolin. I think the Corp should really consider keeping it open longer in the fall. I live within a few miles of Green River and Lake Cumberland, but drive 70 mi due to the love of the campground and all the friends we have made here. It has been a great year!
