This was our second time staying at Wax Campground. Our site (C08) was clean and level, making camp setup easy. We like the gravel feature of the site as it doesn't turn into a mudhole if it rains. Restroom/shower building was clean, and plumbing fixtures worked. Plenty of hot water for showers. Staff is friendly and heloful, and we also like that the local Sheriff's dept makes random rounds through the camogrounds. Will definitely be back again.

Nice park, most sites are spaced apart. Fairly empty during the week, filled up on the weekends. Very nice staff. Not far from the Mammoth Cave Park area

We camped in area C, Sunday through Friday, it was quite, clean, wish the fishing was better, but you can’t have it all.

First time we've stayed there, and we spent 2 nights. Campground and restroom/shower facilities were clean & well maintained, and conveniently right across the street from us. We eere in our square-drop traiker, and the pull-thru site (C08) was flat, with small gravel (nice not having a muddy mess to deal with after the rains that went through), and a sturdy picnic table, fire pit, and a pole for hanging lanterns, etc. Staff was very friendly, plus random patrols from the local Sheriff driving through the loops. Could hear and see the water traffic on the lake which was nice. Grandson took his ebike and fishing gear, and made the most of the nearby shoreline to fish from, plus trips to the local store down the road. Will definitely be returning in the future.
