Fort Boonesboro Campgrounds Reviews

Great place to go. Greatly maintained park. The perfect place for leisure and history.

We went to see the haloween lights there! It was wonderful

Camping grounds are to close and the reservation we made were cancelled due to an emoloyee telling us it would accomadate my trailer when it was clearly to small of a site. Glad we drove up to look at the site beforehand.

Pool, camping, beach on the river, wide open spaces, shade.

Some places need fixed been well run down camp ground looks good .and play ground is closed.

Lovely walk to the river. Refreshing day/hours in the

Nice park very clean and well kept. Plenty of RV sites water and electric only but has dump site.weak internet at back camp site s. $4.00 for 24 hrs.

You can feel the history. Frontiersmen on history Channel brought it to light.

Camping at Boonesborough State Park is our favorite campground.

Beautiful park & location. Clean bathrooms & spacious camp sites. Would like to return sometime. Good job to the folks who work there.

We went to the Frontier Christmas event 12-06-19 that evening. Very well done event with knowledgeable reenactors. There was a good crowd with both young and old attending. I recommend it to anyone wanting a good way to spend an entertaining night learning some history.

BEAUTIFUL facility! Our first time staying at a Kentucky State Park... as we are from Michigan. Loved the bath and Laundry facilities. Campground extremely cared for. We had not planned a trip here but stopped as needed a break from driving to Tennessee. Super freindly, got us in had a great spot. The only reason not giving 5 stars wad the noise... construction type equipment during the day, and highway close by. Pool was closed but it looked amazing!

Beautiful place to visit and bring your family to. They have kayak rentals, great fishing on the river and a swimming pool for the kids and less adventurous adults

This place is not only historical (which i love) but also had a small beach, a pool, and lots of room to run and play. We were here for a company event and loved it!

Nice detailed history. Guided tours and interactive characters.

Really didn't like or dislike it because we didn't know until we got there that the fort isn't open on Monday and Tuesday .

Decent park, a little dilapidated compared to what it once was. Still fun to hike and see the beach area though, especially for children.

Nice informative place to visit. Although it looks nothing like the original fort

Really enjoyed my visit to Fort Boonesborough! The reconstructed fort is fascinating and I was fortunate to be there when it was staffed up for some school outings that apparently didn't materialize because of the rain. Too early to use the pool. Only disappointment was the structure close to the river that is apparently no longer used and becoming an eyesore. Parks like this should be run for the public benefit and not seen as profit centers!

Nice little place to take your family has a TV campground swimming pool put put golf

I have been here in the summer time and it's a VERY different experience now. There are zero restrooms if you want to take your kids to the park which is beautiful I'd suggest doing so before the potapotty are pretty bad. With little ones it does make it a bit hard. The trails are nice but as far as a day trip right now I would avoid it until they open things back up a little. At least the restrooms. The fort is closed till April. It's nice but I would avoid at least until things start opening back up.

Nice place sad to see some of the cabins down for repair some of the reenactors were not very talkative. The young guy doing the blacksmith display spent more time arguing with the middle school kids that were there about the technique he was using however was knowledgeable about what he was doing a couple of the cabins three and actors were more concerned about talking to themselves then interacting with people coming to visit

Mixed feelings. Very friendly staff and campers, but didn't know about the pollution on the Kentucky River until reading about why the beach house was closed and now derelict. Restrooms were okay, ran out of soap early Saturday, still not filled by late Sunday morning. Very crowded in early November, plan ahead if you're going.

Love Fort Boonesborough great place to learn about our past history.

Very peaceful. Take your shoes off and put your toes in the sand. Trust that you'll feel very good by the time you leave. Small park but huge in a therapeutic kind of way.

It was a very nice park and enjoyed the fort very much

A good place to visit with your family. There is a camping area by the river as well. The fort is a recreation of the original. Parking can be an issue when there is an event. You can find some unique items to buy, thus some interesting gifts. I bought an old style brass compass there, then I took it to an engraver, and gave it to my daughter when she graduated high school. We have been to it many times over the years. On a personal note, the cenotaph in front of the fort, with the names of original settlers, include a grandfather ancestor of mine, as well as his brothers. I only came to understand that not too many years ago. So you never know.

Quite campground during the week. Clean restrooms. Ground are nice. Site are small but doable. Staff friendly. Watch out d
For river view sites.

It is a great place to camp out, either the Rv, popup campers or the tent. I went to visiting my former co-workers. We had a cook out. We all had a good time.

Great place camped in February and it got down to 18 at night loved it. Staff very nice and helpful. Nearby road was somewhat noisy almost all the time being that it s a steep hill and a lot of truck traffic. Nearby towns really nice and just enjoyable to visit.

I loved the history but the coronavirus has affected this too

My son was in town with his wife and we travelled along with my two younger children to Natural Bridge in July of 2027. We had a great time, received a vigorous workout and it was a quality time adventure for everyone. Can't wait to do it again.

Very nice grounds. Great job maintaining the history.

Had a really good time cooking out and playing putt putt with my family

Overrun with ferrell cats and racoon's that are not at all afraid to keep you from having a fire in the evenings. They become very active at night and will chase you growling. Also full price admission to the pool is ridiculous for campers and it is only 3.5' at the deepest location. Also the pool manager was a very rude person unless you were her local friend. The Fort only had 4 cabins occupied by artisans that were not that knowledgeable or interested in talking to visitors. Also charged full price (over$50) for the fort that was 80% empty/closed. Poorly managed park. Grass overgrown and not astitically pleasing. Highway traffic noise is also very noticeable and makes it hard to sleep. Stay away if you want to relax and get what you are paying for.

Great fort!!! Wonderful place to visit to go back in time!

Super awesome park. Plenty of spaces. Primitive area is choose your own. Showers and laundry are very clean. Stayed two nights in the middle of August and had a relaxing quiet stay, thanks Kentucky! Much love from Arkansas.

The website should have mentioned that not all sites had sewer.

Great place if you are into camping. Bath houses, general stire and always activities for the kids. Have mini golf and a community pool. Have a rec house for kids.

Wonderful staff, great campground! One of our favorite spots!

It is a nice place to enjoy nature while still being close to the city.

Good place to camp,all RV sites and roads black top. Water hook up spiket in most spots 50' plus.The shower house was very clean.

We had a great time even though we only stayed on night passing through. The only reason for only 4 stars is our site was not very level and it was hard to get it perfect.
Everybody was very helpful and friendly! We will be back but reserve a different site :)

Clean park with nice playgrounds for children. Very nice RV park with clean restrooms and showers. Has a mini golf course that is quite fun. Great place for families. Large open mowed fields for playing and nice paths for walking or biking. Just a short walk to the KY river.

This park in Kentucky takes great care of all state parks

Really enjoyed visiting the historic fort. Everyone was friendly and helpful - great for history buffs and kids

We have visited this park 21 times over the last dozen or so years on our trip up to Ohio and back. There are few full service sites with sewers but all the rest have Water and Electric hookups. Some of the sites are way too small for today's RV's and several are prone to flooding during rainy periods. All in all a very convenient stop on our way North and back.

History, history, history. Hatched throwing and the blacksmith were both fabulous.

Even with the restricted access, it was a very good experience. Everyone was very knowledgeable in their area.

Nice historical area. The museum has been permanently closed, which is disappointing, but the river and surrounding areas are very pretty.

I have been going camping there since I was a little kid and now I take my children. We absolutely love it here. We always have the best time especially during their Halloween festival.

Camping sites are close together and not scenic at all but they are clean. Bathrooms fine. A few short trails are pretty. Fort and pool both closed on Tuesday.

Fun trip for school kids, would have been better had there been more workers in costume and showing how to do all the different exhibits.

Enjoyable camping, but make sure to make reservations.

Great place to take the kids. Whether it's for a little round of mini golf at the nearby park, or to visit the Fort. Make sure to wear sunscreen and bug repellent. The kids learned a lot about colonial life and we had a full day.

Visited over the weekend with my grandson. There wasn't any demonstrations going on while we were there which was a little disappointing but we still had a great time. As a 10 y/o my grandson is very inquisitive so he asked questions and got answers from the workers. He also found several items he wanted from the gift shop. He saw things he'd never seen before and came away feeling he knew more about Kentucky's heritage than when we arrived. I felt the workers there was knowledgable. We especially liked talking to the man with the powder horns. My big complaint is lack of parking. When we arrived there was no empty parking places. We had to wait by the road until someone left to get their parking spot. I'm sure a lot more people would tour the place if they could get a place to park.

Though some of the park was closed, we did visit the beach along the Kentucky River. Lots of room to set up a canopy tent. The beach is Sandy and the river isn t too fast here. Great place for a picnic!

Nothing reminds me of my childhood than this park. Spent a lot of time here as a child.
