Camp Nelson RV Park

This is our second time staying at this campground. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. The campground has been hit very hard two times this yr by flooding and it shows. I seen them working everyday trying to fix and clean it back up and I know from my past experiences with flooding they will eventually get there. I wish them the best and if we're ever in the area again, I would definitely go back. So if anyone is looking for a safe kid and animal friendly place to stay go there.

Access by foot via barricaded bridge over the Kentucky River. Poison ivy abounds. Graffiti abounds. Pool appears clean. Depressed buildings are visible with no "healing" in site. Water sanitation plant is in need of upgrades and sanitation inspections. One thin boat ramp present. Clutter abounds. One side is in need of a building demolition and the other side is a cul de sac of RV trailers on a clean area road.

Friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed 2023 Memorial Day Weekend. You might have enjoyed the DJ at the pool more than we did but they shut down at 10 PM quiet hours. Nice pool. Like most campgrounds in the USA most campsites look to be permanent full time or seasonal residents. Still they made room for us over the holiday weekend. Full hookups but our sewer connection was 40 feet from the camper so my hoses didn't reach. Campground very far off the Interstate. Try to stay on the US Highways getting there. Google Maps led us on some County roads that were scary towing a travel trailer. Overall we were very pleased but probably too far off the Interstate for us to go there again. Oh, and there was a herd of goats on the road just outside the campground. Not an everyday sight, not loose roami

Great place to visit and either camp or drive/tow your RV to. This pla e is a hidden gem that is quiet, clean, and never packed with campers, travelers, and sucb. There are showers, bathrooms, plenty of room to walk around. There are a lot of places to go and explore. There is a swimming hole about 5 minutes from there. You need to see Trudie who will take care of you. See pictures for the swimming hole.

The campground was pretty rough, wet and lots of old RV's that needed removed. Electricity was good, people were friendly, just not enough for us to go back.
