This was a clean campground with plenty for kids to do. The pool was very clean and I saw the lifeguard check the chemicals multiple times. For adults, theres a nice little bar. Definitely no complaints there! But, what stood out for my friend and I, was the exceptional customer service. And while I won't go into details, we found ourselves in a situation and the owners went way above and beyond to help us out! We couldn't be any more grateful for their kindness to us strangers! I told my husband I would definitely like to return for a longer stay, for that alone! If the owners see this, again, thank you so much for your help, we truly appreciate it! Can't wait to return!

I enjoyed the Whispering Hills RV Park and its location. There are full hook-up sites, a swimming…read morepool, a lake, basketball, bark park, bar, picnic tables, and a playground with giant blow ups for the kids to enjoy. There are plenty of places around the park to just sit and enjoy a book. Some sites offer fires, but ours didn't. There are two laundry locations, but they only have a few washers and dryers. That's not enough when the park has 230 sites. Expect to wait for one to open. You do have a picnic table, but it's time to repair them. They did add in their flyer to call if you have an issue with your picnic table. You mow and clean up your site after someone stays, so you should already see any table issues. When I get to a site I've already spent many hours driving and don't want to call with any issues. I want to set up, relax, and enjoy the amenities. The property is very clean and well managed. They have an employee take you to your site and assist you in pulling in. We would definitely stay here again!!

The old fort site has a marina and some signage, but it was brutal hot, so I wandered up to the Kentucky River Museum and stumbled right into a fascinating tour! The guide's family has operated the lock (Lock 10 to be specific) since practically conception, so he had stories, pictures, letters, journals, and a deep connection to the home and site. Awesome tour! This tour is included with your purchase of a fort ticket, so I headed over there to get mine and wander around the replica fort complete with cabins, crows, period demonstrations, and a video about the one and only Daniel Boone! You know, that guy, pretty famous in these parts....

Other than the things mentioned above this place in quite sad. Most of the RVers here are permanent residents. It's very muddy and most of the rv spots aren't on any type of pad or even gavel. There are many many cats. Mostly ferrel cats but some are pets. We have paw prints all over our vehicles and one of them sprayed our BBQ grill! Yuck!!! There is a small playground that isn't much to speak of. Be careful that you don't step in cat poop! With a little tlc this place could be awesome! Maybe one day they will spruce it up but until then we won't be back.

This is a hard post to write because it is such an odd mix of things. We camped here 3 nights and…read morehad a huge issue with our sites that we reserved. Site 29 is a nightmare to get a camper in. There is a drop off and alot of trees. It is doable but takes a lot of navigation and tree spotters. However we decided not to use it because if someone took the lot across the narrow road it would be a nightmare to get out. So we switched sites. The problem with that was not being able to get ahold of anyone who could switch our sites and the worry of moving and taking a site that is reserved is scary. So we changed our reservations to confirm we could have the sites. That is the ONLY way to do anything if an attendant isn't here. And we only saw one in 3 days for a few hours. Most of the lots are extreme grade so be aware. Also take extra cord and hoses. Not many sites have water or electric within 25 feet from your camper. Some of the electric and hose hookups are running near fire pits or weird places. They are shared also with the camper next to you. We were lucky to be camping with another couple so we could use their fire pit instead of ours which was littered with both hoses and cords. We saw many people come in and laugh about how the site was deceiving online with what you could fit. Especially with all the trees and drop offs. So they switched and I guess one got mad and just left. 33-28 have the steepest dropoffs near the back of the pad. 29 looks long enough to get a camper in but it is tricky with trees and a dropoff before the pad. This is one we originally had. 28 is just weird with a steep dropoff and sometimes water in the creek that you run electric through. 31 & 36 have the fire pit near the electric and water. But 36 is pull through. 3 is pull through and does not share water or electric but is on the corner. It sounds like a lot of complaining so 4 stars? Well it's nice once you find a spot. Bathrooms are clean and everyone camping here is super friendly. We would come back but we are prepared now and know what sites to pick for next trip. So, yes we would come back. But if you would have asked us the 1st night we would have told you we would never come back because it was hard to get it all straightened out. Which is why I am writing this long review. So ya'all know what to be prepared for.
