We stayed at the lodge for two nights, in one of the pet friendly rooms. I must say, it is the nicest state park room I have stayed in. My dad works for the state, so I've stayed in many. The room had laminate flooring for easy clean up (I'm assuming that was a perk reserved for the pet friendly room s), and a private covered balcony that was spacious enough for 4-5 people approx. There is also a screen on the backdoor, which enabled us to sleep with a cool breeze coming in at night. The room is big enough that if you have to stay in(it rained one entire day) it will accommodate 2 adults and 2 large dogs comfortably. Last but not least, the amount of wildlife around the lodge is crazy! We saw multiple deer, skunks, squirrels and snakes. For that reason, even though our dogs are well behaved we always kept them on their leashes.

Our group of 30 stayed at the lodge in September, found the park to be quite pleasant and relaxing. Rooms in the lodge are clean and have a balcony overlooking the woods. The restaurant on site was too handy to ignore. Going anywhere else would have been too much effort.

Wi-fi is free, breakfast is under $10. This is no Ritz Carlton, so don't expect perfection. It is a lodge in a state park. We had a great time.

We took our 4 kids out here for 3 days to camp and we thought this was a very nice campground. They had lots of activities going on (it was Labor Day weekend, I don't know if they always have this much stuff going on!) such as a movie night in the cave, making ice cream (free), tie dying shirts, music on Friday night in the pavilion between the primitive and RV sites. The little 'general' store between the two sites was also nice, just in case you forgot anything or just feel like having a candy bar or icee. Caves tours available all day long, we didn't get to do anymore than one tour bc we had a puppy with us that we didn't realize we were going to have when we booked the campsite. All the sites have a picnic table and fire pit, but no grate on the fire pit.

The only reason this is a 4 instead of a 5 is because I agree with the poster below...those bathrooms were terrible. Dark, cramped, run-down. They DID clean them at least twice a day (maybe more but I know I saw them twice a day) but there is a point where cleaning doesn't help bc what you are cleaning is so run down. I didn't think they were 'dirty' just need major renovations; gut the whole room and start over!

Great place for kids! I imagine we will go back when we can do more things there. I don't remember the number of our (primitive) site but I remember that I liked site 114 except it didn't have much grassy area. I wouldn't get one of the sites in the inside of the loop unless you want to be thisclose to your neighbors.

We had a great time camping here and the campground staff was super friendly and helpful, but the restrooms were absolutely disgusting. Having stayed at many other state parks in KY and other states I could not believe how terrible this camp's were. We tried to use the restrooms at the lodge before we went back to camp at night, it was really that bad.

The hiking, caving, camping, mini putt putt, tennis courts and children's activities were great. You see deer and other assorted critters frequently, kids will love it. The cabins looked good from the outside if camping isn't your thing.

We will be back, but we are REALLY hoping that they will take better care of the campground restrooms in the future.
