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.
