Moutardier

We rented C38 AND C39 FOR THE 4 DAY LABOR DAY WEEKEND OF 2021. WE HAD OUR FAMILY FROM ANOTHER STATE COME IN TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH US. THEY HAVE A N 18 MONTH INFANT THAT CAME ALONG. WE ARRIVED AFTER DARK THE FIRST NIGHT AND AWOKE THE NEXT MORNING TO FIND OUR INFANT COVERED WITH TINY RED TICKS THAT WERE ALMOST INVISDSIBLE. AFETR MORE CAREFIUL INSPECTION, WE FOUND ALL OF US ADULTS HAD NUMEROUS TICKS ON OUR BODIES. I CONTACTED THE GATEHOUSE OFFICIALS AND THEY TOLD US THEY HAD INFORMED THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS MANY TIMES ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I CONTACTED THE PARK RANGERS AND THEY TOLD ME "THIS IS KENTUCKY. WE HAVE TICKS." NO NOTICE WAS EVER GIVEN VIA RESERVATION SITE ABOUT THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THE RANGER TOLD ME THEY NEVER FUMIGATE OR SPRAY. BEWARE!! THE CAVALIER ATTITUDE THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS HAS TAKEN ABOUT THIS MAY BE QUITE DEVASTATING TO SOME'S HEALTH LONG TERM. AT LEAST A WARNING WHILE RESERVING SHOULD BE IN ORDER. HOW MANY GO HOME ONLY TO FIND THEY HAVE A DEVASTATING HEALTH ISSUE DUE TO LYME, OR OTHER DISEASE? WE CANCELLED OUR FOLLOWING TWO DAYS AND WENT TO GREEN RIVER RECREATION SITE WHERE WE ENCOUNTERED NO PROBLEMS. WE HAD TO COMPLETELY SANITIZE ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT, BEDDING AND CLOTHING FROM THE MOTAURDIER EXPERIENCE. TOO BAD. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AREA.

Moutardier campground is in a beautiful remote location on Nolin Lake. Sites are large and terraced so most have water views. We stayed in B Loop which has electric and water hookups. Most sites require a bit of leveling. We walked through Loop C and those sites are smaller and not very level, perhaps best suited for tent camping.

This is the first COE campground we have ever visited that has a farm fresh vegetable stand on site. A local resident drops by daily to stock seasonal vegetables: corn, peaches, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, watermelons, etc. We were here for 10 days we enjoyed being able to add fresh veggies to our menus

great place to camp becareful of the deer

Wonderful place to camp it was so nice and quiet!

Quiet, beautiful views, very hilly so bring your levelers just what we needed for some quiet relaxing time to finish out the summer. Not too far of a drive to visit mammoth cave.

I loved being able to camp right on the water. There were plenty of camping spots and lots of different locations. I love the price since I am a senior

Sites fairly small but well spaced. Camping loops are very tight. Nice access to lake. No hiking trails but lots of room to walk on roads.

Our favorite place to be. Lovely campground with beautiful views of Nolin. The attendants always great us as if we were family and make sure if any problems arise they are taken care of quickly. Bathrooms are clean.

Very relaxing and beautiful

This campground seems to be going down hill. Streets are covered with rocks and the core had street sweepers they never use. Several driveways have ruts and are muddy due to lack of gravel. The core owns a John Deere tractor to move gravel and it just sits. A-45 and other sites need additional gravel at the end of the driveway it’s muddy.
