Fort Boonesboro Campgrounds Reviews

Was passing through & seen the sign so thought I'd drop by to check it out. Was not disappointed. My daughter who was traveling with me learned so much from the few "older"people there who were showing off their "tech"" skills (as she put it). Would love to have more hands on teaching.....but the place is a bounty of history, a harvest of knowledgeable people, all surrounded by the wall's a fort built with the desire to share this knowledge with the public in true Kentucky grace & honor .A MUST SEE!!!!
Offers AAA & AARP & MILITARY DISCOUNTS.....ALSO ALLOWS SERVICE ANIMALS.!

Good place to bring family and friends for an adventure through a slice of history.

RUDE RUDE RUDE......My kids and I stopped by the fort on our way to the campground. The sign said they closed at 3:45. We arrived at 3:00 and went inside to pay. An older woman was working and was rude to us from the start. She did not bother to say hi, just said "Didn't you read the sign? We close at 3:45." I told her "Yes, we read the sign and we have 45 minutes, can I purchase tickets?" She barked at us again and my kids started to feel uncomfortable. I was very disappointed in her lack of help and the fact that she was more concerned about closing in 45 minutes instead of being helpful. We walked through the fort since we had already stopped but I would not recommend it to anyone else based on our experience.

Staff was knowledgeable of their craft
Blacksmithing weekend was not as eventful as we'd hoped

The campground was nice. The only complaint I have is people speeding through the campground. Other then that everything was fantastic! Friendly staff!

Nice story place I wish I could have spent more time

They have really let this park run down. Our family has been coming here for a reunion the last 50 years and if it weren't for tradition, we would change location.

We enjoyed camping and halloween displays.
The facility is clean and comfortable.

The beach is fantastic stayed until it got dark, was very peaceful and quiet.

Neat to see, informative, but much like other period forts-seen one, seen them all. Nice reenactor in the spinning room.

Nice little family outing area. Handfuka of things to do

The actors were very knowledgeable about their individual trade and what life would have been like during that time period. We heard many stories and enjoyed all the displays and artifacts.

So much to see in and around this park. The campground was clean and filled with friendly folk.

Nice campground, RV sites are nice, campstore had variety of products and cool Daniel Boone memorabilia.

River Beach fun, Kayak with Sisters and Primitive Camping (by choice)

Great place to take the kids for an educational experience. They also have great camping and swimming area!

This place was awesome! The staff were all very kind and accommodating and it was all around an enlightening and fun experience checking out the fort. Would highly recommend!!

Great history that everyone should take the time to learn about and experience the culture of the Daniel Boone era in display at this park. Lots of events to take your family to and awesome place for school field trips. Located close to I75 and I64 so it's easy to get to.

Nice store, nice atmosphere, and fun mini golf course!

Authentic National Historic Site well honored by D.A.R. markers and wayside exhibits.

If you're interested in early american history like I am, Ft. Boonesboro is not to be missed. A little imagination is all you need as you walk around the inside of the fort and take a gander inside all the structures ... you can get a real feel for what life would have been like for the early settlers of the region. A trip to the area can be made even more interesting by the many other natural and historic sites in the area.

The beach is always dirty but my dog loves to play in the water.

Great Place! We stopped here in 2012 and stayed at the campground. We unfortunately weren't there on one of the days where they have lots of things going on, but there were still a few folks there demonstrating things. The staff (volunteers?) was great and spent time answering our endless questions. Would love to go back during one of their events.

This was our first time using an RV and this was the perfect place to try it out. It was easy to maneuver in and the facilities were great.

I am thankful to enjoy another KY historical landmark.

The back of the campground near site 60 was under a major road and against a gravel production site that was very noisy and left dust everywhere. It was fine for our overnight stay, and the front of the campground would probably be more quiet. The facilities were nice and the grounds were well kept.

Nice park. Campground was well kept, except for falling tree limb. Staff was friendly.

I love this place. Great for camping, swimming, fishing and boating, including kayaks. It's very well kept all of them time and never too crowded. Lots of space as well for privacy. This place is great for a moment of summer fun. I highly recommend kayaking on the river.

A beautiful place lots of services and things to do as the weather permits.

It was relaxing and the bathrooms where clean staff is friendly and polite

Very clean, never crowded. Boat slip is a little shady, but works. Neat historical place.

Absolutely a wonderful recreation of the fort that Daniel Boone once called home. They have a large campground and beautiful pool. Nearby boat ramp for access to the Ky river which offers great fishing and boating activities. Large grounds for wonderful events like the Boonesborough Boogie car show like we attended today.

they need to clean up the beach a little bit but everything else is nice maybe pick some of the trails up like trees fell over

Great place to access Kentucky River and experience the historical setting where Daniel Boone and his explorers set camp in 1775. Great camp facilities.

This park is a graveyard. Not sure what happened KY but it's sad to see it is has not been kept up. Coal on the beach, so I'm sure the water is not clean.

Got chased by bats at night but 11/10 would to to the beach at the river again!!!

One of my favorite places! The historic significance and authentic ambiance can't be beat! Highly recommended!

Campground is beautiful and spacious. Not having sewer at the sight was ok.
However, we being seniors and no children it was a little to busy for us.

It's beautiful out there and I have a lot of special memories there that are irreplaceable.

What a fun living history museum! This would be a great educational experience for kids of all ages, but we old folks enjoyed it as well!

Always a great experience. Even though I have experienced this place many times. I always come back. Even if its a little pricey when you go inside to see something you can watch for free on YouTube. But still the view and scenery is what pulls me in. I can care less about the getting admission into a little tiny cottage area. The nature is the best part and it's free.

A step back into frontier days. Hatchet throwing, a blacksmith at work and watching someone working a loom.

The park is pretty and quite clean. Bathrooms are well maintained. Lots of trees and a well-enforced quiet time (11:00). We tent camped here and there is no shortage of shade. Biggest drawback is the proximity to a major road and a cement factory so it is quite noisy. We would perhaps visit again but would seek a site further away from the noise.

Nice park. A little crowded. We stayed in overflow and loved the privacy.

They charge a lot for their hook up sites, and primitive sites. They have a rather small, ugly looking mini golf course that cost you to play. It was hot, so we went to check out the beach and swim. Only to find the river water is toxic and the beech was washing up coal from the mines. And some police man said there was human fecal mater in the water and he explained how a man went to the hospital with a fever. The other option is there shallow pool, that yes has a separate fee to get in. After all this dissapointment we checked out there big building, I guess where they may have put on parties and it was boarded up with broken windows. Last, the staff makes you feel uncomfortable when your not in a huge camper, or with some big family outing. I showed up at 7:55 to their store and the man slowly walked up to the door and said "It's gonna be at least 10 mintues before where open.." and shuts the door in my face. Rude. I will never camp here again.

My family and I have visited the campground 3 times and we've enjoyed it each time. The staff at both the campground and the fort are great. We all enjoyed visiting the fort and throwing hatchets.

It was so nice to go see this and learn everything. I went with my parents and and grandma and my kids and we were all into everything. It was so awesome. We all had a great time. Price is not bad.

A great place to learn about American settlements and frontier life at the birth of our nation.

Another of our favorite places to go walk. The Fort is still close but we will be visiting again soon.

the people here could be a little more respectful and nice I mean you're actually paying their bills by buying things and going into the fort and it's not the actual fort its a replica the only good thing about this place is this soap as far as I'm concerned they can f*** off

Had fun walking on the beach with my daughters and husband.

Good sites good people. The only problem is there is noise from the highway and the rock quarry near by during the day

They were showing signs of improvements last year. Hope they get the money to keep it up. We used to have the best state parks around.

It's very family oriented. We had a really good time. Lots of things to do for the family. You have to check it out for yourself in order to appreciate what a great place it is.

Fort Boonesborough. State Park not only has a beautiful park that the family can enjoy it also has a reenactment Village

I had not been there since I was in elementary school many years ago. It is even better than I remember. There is now a film to see that helped with the history. The demonstrators were very willing to share their knowledge. It was fun throwing an ax at a target. Pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Great staff, super friendly. They have lots of e events throughout the year for campers and the community. They have yard sales for the campers to participate in that are open for the community to enjoy and one of the best halloween events around and they offer several activities for the campers and their children to enjoy together.

Great slice of history with plenty of historical markers to teach you about the importance of this site.
