There is nothing at this camp ground. It’s very overgrown and sites are hard to park in.

Great area, open, beautiful and good proximity to everything. Sewer hook ups would be nice.

Our site was beautiful, peaceful, spaced out well from neighbors. Our neighbors had some dogs which were well behaved but far enough away to not be disruptive even when they did bark.
The site is equipped with a couple concrete picnic tables, a couple fire rings, water and electric, and plenty of shade. There was enough space we probably could have pitched 10 tents, but we only had 2, an RV and a couple hammocks.
The ground is very hard- we will be upgrading to heavy duty stakes before next trip.
The wildlife- we saw quite a few insects and spiders, and at night heard deer? bears? people? no idea- rummaging through the woods behind us. I told the kids it was just deer. I hope I was right, but nothing showed itself.
The ferry was only open from 6am to 6pm most days, I think opens later on Sunday, and is very small. Only holds 2 cars- no trailers or RVs, so if you use GPS to get to the site off times or with trailers or RVs, set it to avoid ferries. It does make it about a 30-45 minute trip to the Mammoth Cave visitor center if you can't use the ferry, and only 5-10 minutes if you can.
We all loved the site and are already planning our next trip there.
