Kentucky RV Campgrounds We Stayed At Along The Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Following is a brief review of the places we stayed on a recent RV trip to Kentucky.

We traveled along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, visiting bourbon distilleries during the day and camping at RV parks at night.

• This is what our motorhome is like.
• This is what the distillery tours are like.

On this trip, we stayed at 3 different campgrounds — each of which we would recommend and stay at again in the future. Each place accommodates big rigs like our 40-foot motorhome.

I’m sharing the information here partly so I’ll have the details handy for the next time we’re in the area looking for a place to stay!…

 

Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground
209 Tunnel Hill Road – Elizabethtown, Kentucky 42701
(270) 737-7600 

• We paid $30 ($27 after 10% Good Sam Club discount) for site #6 — an unpaved pull-thru site, which we had a difficult time leveling our motorhome on (automatic levelers).
• Pets are welcome.
• They have wireless Internet and cable TV, and a 24-hour laundry room.
• They have 50 amp service available.
• They also have cozy cabins for rent.
• There’s a swimming pool that’s open until 8PM.
• We didn’t use any of the facilities on site.
• The owners seemed very nice and tried to help us get the motorhome level.

 

 

Rolling Hills Camping Resort
11 Hunter Road – Taylorsville, Kentucky 40071
(502) 477-1291

• We paid $39.50 (including tax) for site #33 — a gravel back-in site.
• Finding this place was a little tricky using the GPS. We had to call the office for assistance after we had passed it.
• Pets are welcome.
• They have a dump station on site.
• There’s a fishing lake in the center of the property — a great place to walk the dog.
• There’s a swimming pool by the main office for use by adults only.
• We didn’t use any of the facilities on site.
• The owner seemed friendly and checked to make sure we got parked okay.

UPDATE: It appears that this campground is now closed. Here are photos of the Rolling Hills RV Camping Resort:

 

 

Holt’s Campground
2351 Templin Avenue – Bardstown, Kentucky 40004 
(502) 348-6717

• We paid $20 (cash only, includes tax) for site #22 — a concrete pad back-in site. (They’ll all concrete pads here.)
• This is the most laid-back place you’ll ever find. (Most campground provide a long list of rules; not here!)
• The owner was extremely friendly and sincerely interested in helping you choose the best site on the property.
• We could hear a racecar track in the distance; but not loud enough to be disturbing.
• There’s a small lake on the property, as well as lots of geese (…and goose poop).
• This isn’t exactly a family-oriented campground, as there are no amenities. (They had 50 amp service though.)
• We didn’t see any children; just men. It kind of seemed like a trucker crowd.
• Relatively speaking, it’s a small campground — only 33 sites.
• There’s a dump station on site (though I didn’t see it).
• We didn’t use any of the facilities on site.
• Finding this place was a little tricky using the GPS. We had to call the office for assistance after we had passed it.
