What Guests Are Saying
Axtel campground is praised for its beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly hosts, particularly Vickie, who ensures a pleasant experience for visitors. Many families enjoy the quiet atmosphere, spacious campsites with easy access to water activities, and a welcoming community of fellow campers. However, some guests noted issues such as low water levels, closed restrooms, and occasional noise, but these did not significantly detract from the overall positive experiences reported.

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.

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

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