Summary

AI generated

Derby Park and RV Campground offers basic amenities with only electric hookups, and access to the dump station can be inconvenient for an added fee. While the area may feel sketchy and there were concerns about safety, guest experiences improved due to the friendly and accommodating nature of staff member Dante. However, many found the price of $56 per night to be high for the offerings and overall experience.

Great place to stay for the Derby. Awesome team runs the campground. Lots of security, police regularly drive through the grounds. Walking distance to Churchill Downs.

I was nervous that this place was going to feel uncomfortable being that it was in a parking lot but wow did we have fun! The kids loved it too! We came for the derby and they do squeeze you in close together but I think that's what gives it a homey feel. The employees in the Expo Five bar are so friendly. We listened to music, had a few beers and the kids danced a little. Definitely coming back!

Was a okay stay, we were there for 3 days. Stayed Sunday through Wednesday.Not as bad as I thought it would be. Since it was in a parking lot of a flea market. Didn't have water hook up so you either went to the bathhouse or a water spicket by the car lot.

I was a little sketched out at first but I was welcomed when Dante told me I would be staying right beside him. He was cool. There was a semi with spooks Mcgee on it though.

Very sketchy area, with lots of very sketchy people. Walked my daughter around in the stroller and found several needles laying around near the flea market area. Campground is just electric hookup, the dump station is clear around back you have to literally get on the Main Street to get there and cost an additional $20.
Dante was pretty nice and accommodating.
Very expensive though for what you are getting for your stay, definitely not what I was expecting when booking for $56 a night.
