We would definitely return to this site.

Also for the Frozen Niagara tour, we had to be bussed to/from the entrance, vs other tours the entrance is right by the visitor center. The tour guides were informed. A few issues: when they turned off all the lights so we could see how dark it was, they kept them off far too long. Also, on the way back the shuttle dropped us off at a different place from where we were picked up. I understand we had to walk over a special mat so we didn't carry bacteria out of the cave. But they didn't say where we were or how to get back to the visitor center. I had to ask, which I thought was weird.

We were passing through on our way North and scheduled two night stay…read more The park is fairly close to a main highway that runs through Kentucky and within the Mammoth Cave National Park. Checkin is easy and straight forward, they had us find our own site and call back with number. We found a nice backin, full hookup site in the shade with open space to one side of us. Not all sites have 50 amp, some are 30 amp only, which is not a problem with us, we know how to play the don't have multiple power draws on at the same time game. The park itself was quiet, probably most campers out for the day seeing the sites close by. The park seemed well cared for, newly mowed. It's not a real large park, the long term are separated from those passing through. The laundry in the park was more expensive per load than what is charged in other Thousand Trails Parks, so we waited until our next location. We noticed the pool being filled for the season and that the Mini Golf had be redone. What makes this park special is the proximity to the National Park. The Mammoth Cave, Diamond Cave, multiple hiking and biking trails close by. One trail can be picked up on the main road in front of Diamond Cavern entrance. The trail will take you to a mammoth Cave. We road our bikes on the trail, be prepared for a bit of of a climb, the return is lots of fun with all the downhill. This campground is also close to other caves as well as outdoor activities. We regret we did not schedule more time to explore the area.

When most people think of amusement parks and coasters in the Kentucky area, they either think of…read moreKentucky Kingdom or the out of state parks Holiday World, Kings Island, or Dollywood. But while Beech Bend isn't as nearly as well known or have as high profile coasters as those parks, it shouldn't be ignored. This is because Beech Bend has an excellent thrilling coaster in Kentucky Rumbler, which is a relatively smooth wooden coaster that is filled with a mix of forces and airtime that will make you want to go on it again and again. Additionally, Beech Bend has some very interesting flat rides you generally only see at fairs, but here you ride them over and over again instead of having to pay per ride. Plus, admission is quite affordable, especially if you buy it in advance, and parking is free, so Beech Bend will not set you back a lot. With that in mind, Beech Bend, while it lacks the high profile coasters of the parks that surround it, is a nice, charming, and affordable small park that should not be missed if you are in the area.

When I see such mixed reviews on a place, I feel obligated to give a honest and detailed review…read more This was written in June 2023. Prices to get in the amusement/water park are $44.99 plus tax for anyone over 48" but there are a few offers that can get you in cheaper. I strongly suggest using a discount, as this park is not worth the full price. You are allowed to bring one water bottle per person and you should because there are limited areas of shade. The two star review is because of the following: First, like many of the prior reviews have stated, the rides are old, unkept, and rickety. A few are even dangerous. The Wild Mouse gave me a bruised leg and sore neck. The main attraction for thrill seekers is the Kentucky Rambler, which was closed when we were there. There were other rides closed too. Second, most of the snack huts were closed. The lines at the opened concessions were long and moved slow. Of course food is overpriced too. I would recommend bringing your lunch/snacks in a cooler and going outside the park for eating. They allow you to go and come with a stamp. There are shaded picnic tables outside the park if you bring your lunch. You can't bring coolers of food inside. Third, the park is overrun with tweens and teens. Ages 12 and up are allowed in without an adult. My 9 year old son rode the bumper cars and got bumped really hard by a unsupervised teenager. I was worried he may have gotten whiplash. Fourth, our experience with the staff was pleasant and the only reason we gave 2 stars instead of 1 star. The staff enforced the rules and took their jobs seriously. Many of them joked around with my son. In conclusion, if you are an area tween or teen with a season pass, this park may be worthwhile. If you have kiddos under 5 years old, there are a number of kiddie rides that are safe enough. The water park also has a nice little kids section. The free parking and free sunscreen is a plus. If you arrive when they open, lines for rides aren't long, especially on weekdays. Again, if you pay full price for your tickets and don't bring your own food, you will probably be disappointed. However, if you pack food and get a discount, you may be able to enjoy yourself if you fancy low budget fair rides. I recommend Holiday World, about an hour from Beech Bend, it's well worth the drive. Holiday World is clean and the rides are safe. If you go to Holiday World in May, your tickets would be cheaper than Beech Bend.

I don't like writing reviews like this one, but I told a desk person, who asked how our stay was, I…read morewould write a review to state how my wife and I viewed our stay at the "Resort." Upon arriving, we were 30 minutes early, Central Time, so we didn't get to check in yet, though I think we still got checked in prior to 4pm. That was fine. We came from Eastern Time Zone, Sunnyside of Louisville. I had requested a view of lake when I made reservations. A view of the marina was the best they could do, I guess. Upon entering our smoke free room, I found an ashtray full of butts and a lighter on our balcony. I get the rooms are smoke free and perhaps balcony can be utilized for smoking, but why leave butts and lighter on balcony? I called the front desk regarding this and they said they would address it. I then found a credit card, gift card and a pill in one of the drawers. I gave those items to the young lady I met earlier at the front desk. My wife asked her where we could get ice and she said she didn't know. Back to that later. We ate dinner prior to arriving at the "Resort" since we had time to kill. We ate at Little Dave's which was fine. See my review on that establishment. The pool was open when we arrived but closed not long after. We drove around the "Resort" park and found the beach was closed with No Swimming signs posted. Hmm. There is a trend started here. Wifey and I like playing mini golf and sometimes disk golf when we visit State parks. It was quite hot during our stay so we went to play a relaxed game of mini golf our first night just after sunset. We could see during the first half of the course and saw a maintenance person drive up, get out of the cart and appear to go to a power box of some sort on the opposite side of the course we were at. Wifey asked me to ask him if he could put the lights on, but I didn't feel like yelling to him and told my wife he saw us and would surely put lights on if they worked. Nope. Wrong answer. We played the second half of game in the dark. The following day we learned the pool was closed for maintenance. The trend continues. We decided to get out of dodge and the "Resort" to find something to do. Apparently, there used to be a Nature Center on the "Resort," but no longer. No pool, no beach and the mini golf course needed cleanup from debris on it. I stopped by the front desk, told the young lady where guests could find ice and her mature co-worker agreed with my comment. I then asked if the mini golf course lights were inoperable. I was told they should work. I said we would play later on when we returned from a day out of the "Resort," if the lights were on. We visited Leitchfield and had a fair day shopping and dining at Bluegrass BBQ. You can read that review also. We didn't care to try the restaurant on the "Resort" since everything was trending negative, plus the Park's restaurant was voted last for dining in the area. Go figure. When we arrived back from our trip to Leitchfield, we saw the lights were already on, though it was still light out. I thought perhaps the trend is getting better, but wait for it. When we went to golf, my wife said it looks like they cut the grass around the mini golf course. She was correct. It was clear they cut the grass, because the grass was blown all over the debris that was still present from the day before. That course could be nice with a little TLC. I thought to ask the front desk for a blower to help out the maintenance people, but didn't. I figured the answer would be no. I had been told a work order needed to go in to get the lights on at the mini golf course. I'd like to say the AC worked fine in the room. The flashing lights also worked in the room all night. You may want to bring dark blinders when it is time to sleep. My wife said the flashing lights were like fireworks going off all night. If you are a tall person, be prepared to hunch down to get under the shower head and bend way over to use the sink. Who decides where to install things at this "Resort?" Our last item to mention before ending this review is on our way back from the mini golf course, the light for the walkway between parking lot and our room was out. My wife said, "It is aweful dark on this walkway." I told her the LED light on top of the pole is out. Perhaps they need some more maintenance people or a new supervisor. I wasn't even looking for things at this "Resort," but they stuck out like sore thumbs. My wife and I have visited every Indiana State Park with lodging and several Kentucky State Parks with lodging. This one is hands-down the worst. Calling it a "Resort," is laughable. I think if I came to go boating, it may be a bit of a different perspective, but I feel a little reluctant to rent a boat at the State Park due to the trend it displays. Hopefully, the Park superintendent, or whatever they are called, can address these issues so future visitors have a better stay.

The sites are slightly close, but with a lot of green space. The people next to us had several tents set up and one was even placed in our site... some people just don't know proper campground manners and this isn't the first time I'd experienced that. I can't speak on the rates or the booking process, it wasn't my turn for that task. I do know that he booked it through the recreation.gov After check in, there is a sharp left turn into the row of sites. If you're rig is big, don't risk it, just go straight and enter into the site area from the back. Several sites are water front, but not really accessible to the water. The body of water isn't the lake though, it's more of the channel from the dam to Barren River Lake. The boat ramp about midway in the campground, is a great fishing spot, if the dam isn't open. Catfish are the scores, but not when we were there, while there was too much water current from the open dam. It's in the western region of Kentucky, about two and a half hours from Lexington, so I don't recommend it for a short trip from here. Glasgow is the closest larger city and that was about twenty minutes away. If you're a BBQ restaurant lover, Glasgow is your place. We passed so many, I lost count.

Somehow we were missing our water hose and Rick offered to loan us his to fill up our tank AND he offered to pick one up at WalMart that night (we gave him money, of course). If you follow my camping adventures, you know that I'm not usually fond of camp hosts. Seriously, I've run into a few doozies in my days. We arrived on a Saturday in May and the RV sites with hookups were full, but we scored a spacious primitive site big enough for our RV AND truck. The primitive sites are was somewhat wooded and private, but the spots on both sides of us were empty, which gave an illusion that it was somewhat private. We loved this campground and the lake so much, we stayed an extra night and all day the next day, Monday. Our neighbor said that the hosts are lenient on weekdays unless someone has the site booked, they don't mind if we check out later. This time, on Sunday, people were checking out and there were plenty of sites available with water and electric hookups. We had a phenomenal site this time, #51 but #52 was better. Also, the campground favorite is apparently #60, but I wouldn't recommend it due to the location being in the path of the boats and trucks using the ramp. Both 51 and 52 were paved black top, which made the rain aftermath not that bad either. THE LAKE!!! I fell in love with Rough River Lake. That's right, move over Nolin River Lake, this holds my title this year. I did hate that you can't swim near the dock... or anywhere around the campground. There's plenty of spots that would be accessible, but there are signs specifically posted 'NO SWIMMING'. The state park is pretty close by though and there is a beach there, if you must get your swim on. Otherwise, fishing is the water activity going on at this campground. There isn't hardly anything close, so come stocked up. The state park lodge has a restaurant and there is a restaurant called 'The Dam', but I wouldn't recommend either one. Robby's Quick Stop about five miles away with basic items in addition to fishing bait. It's about a two hour drive from Lexington, well worth every minutes worth of commute.
