Bardstown My Old Kentucky Home is a must see.
The site numbers were difficult to find. They are on the hook posts.

The only thing that could have made our trip better would have been if the shower house had open in our section and if the fish had of been biting

O on of our favorite campgrounds. After camping there for almost 20 years this was our first time in site #18 and it was perfect. This facility is always clean and well maintained. The host is extremely friendly. Continues to be one of our favorite “get-away” area.
