Very family friendly. Bathrooms weren't as clean as I would have expected, but over all a nice place for a family camping trip.

Plan ahead because this is a popular campground. The reservation process is easy enough and most sites are level or close to it. Site B29 is our favorite because it's a long site with plenty of room for a 40 foot 5th wheel and truck. It's a short walk to the shower/bath house. That comes in handy if staying for a week because black and grey tanks may fill up before week's end with no sewer hook-up. It's close enough to the water for kayaking or bank fishing. There's plenty of places to eat nearby. We like to eat dinner at the lodge and get ice cream at Nick's boat dock on the way back to camp. Breakfast at Little Dave's is a must. A trip to Rough River Hardware always happens - just to see if there's anything I didn't know I needed and of course fishing lures. We love to geocache - so we're always heading to Hardinsburg and Leitchfield. There's really plenty to do in the area - all you have to do is just go out and do it - if you get tired of relaxing at camp. It's a lovely area and the surrounding country is just as lovely.

Bathrooms in the C/D need constant attention - sometimes both closed. Difficult/time consuming to get to only other RR in facility. Much more trash around and noise since no one coming thru and checking campground regularly.

The campground is simple with no extras. The showers and restrooms are typical state park rooms. I would not use myself. The sites are scenic and beautiful. Ramp close by if you own a boat and public beach for enjoying the sun filled days.
