Louisville North Campground

While the facilities were clean, the campground is convenient to the highway, and the staff friendly, the spot is still a bit difficult to get to towing a long rig and ours is a 35' 5th wheel on an F-350 crew cab long bed. Once there, the sites are crammed in so close that had our sliders been on the other side, we wouldn't have been able to open them due to the neighbor's sliders being extended. It was difficult to get in and out of the campground as all roads are big enough for only 1 vehicle at a time. The water and electric hook-ups are close to the front end of the site and while they are long enough to keep your vehicle hooked up (we have a 5th wheel), our electric cord barely made it to the box. We traveled with kids and while they had a great little store and gas on site, I don't recall seeing any playground. The dog park was a tiny patch of grass in the front of the site - the rest was mostly concrete.I like how they take care of the stray/left behind cats but that's just not enough for us to come back.

Excellent campground! Yes the spaces are a little tight but the owners/staff more than make up for it. First they went out of the way to give us a spot to fit out 42ft coach with a 18ft trailer without disconnecting. They were also very sweet and helpful when my cat Nobu got out of our RV. Thankfully we found him after 24+ hours. The campground is also very convenient to downtown Louisville. We will be back ??

This is city camping. Basically a parking spot no room everyone is packed in like sardines. Campfires are very miniature. No room for just hanging out No room to let kids just play and campsite there is a park was ok but not that great. Bathrooms were very clean along with showers. Manager/owner is very rude. Was charged 50 over what I was told. Told them what I was quoted and they did not care but her home was packed all weekend.

I got one of the two cabins they have. Has a bunk bed and a queen/king size bed a small a/c unit a desk and 2 chairs. I recommend starting the a/c unit on the coldest it will go and leaving for lunch or some other activity so it can catch up to the heat of the day. Overall a very safe feeling place and comfy atmosphere. The cabin has a deadbolt and if you have a pot handy, you don't have to trek to the latrine in the middle of the night!!! I gave it a 3 appeal rating, since I consider this a city slicker type of camping. I like this since I am on call for my job in Louisville and can get there within an hour. If you want to be in the city near the hustle and bustle this is for you. I prefer Taylorsville lake state park, where I can fish and hike and watch deer. Also I gave it a 3 star for facility rating beacause of the a/c in the cabin. They like to advertise the cabins have a/c. Well on this July day I had to hold my face nest to the a/c unit to try and stop the sweat. Its been 6 hours with the unit running on highland if I'm not too active I won't break a sweat.ill be sleeping underneath the a/c unit with a fan blowing on me just to keep comfortable. Invest a couple nights rent and buy a bigger cooling unit please!!!

Great location for touring Louisville, KY. Just a short drive over the bridge into downtown. Only drawback is the constant trains at night that pass right by the campsite. Facilities are nice but could use some improvements. Friendly staff who are helpful and know the local area. Next door is a large RV dealer with a good size parts and supply department.

Be aware that you BETTER know how to drive your RV before committing to stay here. Very tight fit. If you have short-term business in the Louisville area or just passing through, you can get away with staying here. They are open 7am-10pm, so late arrivals & early check-outs are ok. Very close to the Louisville area. Otherwise, get ready for a heavy dose of planes, trains, and trucks. EVERY night, there was a noisy train. When the train wasn't running or tooting it's horn, there was a steady diet of planes flying overhead. Spaces are incredibly tight, so if you're here for a long time and your neighbor ties their barking dogs outside their RV at 7am or decides to run their diesel truck for 30 minutes in the morning, there's nothing you can do. At one point, a neighbor's awning was touching my RV. If you have dogs, there's nowhere for you to walk them. The reason why other reviews complain about the lack of fields & dog space is because half the pictures on their website are green fields & foliage. This gives the inaccurate perception that this campground is an actual campground & not a parking lot with hook-ups. While most staff was INCREDIBLY nice & helpful, their kindness was negated by one rude individual whom I believe was the manager. For example, one night my power meter for my electric went out, and one of their nice staff members quickly swapped out the box. However, not only did the box lack a cover over the connection to protect it from rain, but this rude staff member knocked on my RV the following afternoon and told me to immediately shut off my power so the electric box could be worked on. When I said that I couldn't do it right now because I was billing a client on my computer, this individual YELLED at me saying that it was an inconvenience to come back in an hour on my schedule. Looking back, there were some good things about the park. Clean bathrooms, a small convenience store that was open long hours, plenty of propane, lots of friendly staff members, cheap laundry, & water connections that are well set-up for winter. Unfortunately, the few bad things FAR-outweighed the good things. Don't stay here for long periods.

This park is fine for an overnight. All the sites are CLOSE together, the only grass is what is in the photo of the website. The train in about 100 feet east of the park elevated but did not interfere with our sleep. Very nice staff, but the price is very high, but it is where I would stay if I were visiting Louisville. I would stay there again.

First off, don't use your GPS to get here. It will take you to a bridge that is 10' clearance and if you have a 42' 5th wheel like us, you will have to back up 500 yards and drive through a very sketchy neighborhood just to get turned around. Second of all, this "campground" is an embarrassment to the Good Sam community and should be stricken from its website. The sites are not big rig friendly as we couldn't even let out our slide outs without hitting the next sites power pole. The staff is friendly but the site itself is an utter disappointment. This is the first review I have ever written because I don't want the good people that follow and TRUST Good Sam to make the same mistake we did.

I agree with you. We have been staying there for 27 years. About the only campground near downtown Louisville. Owner and her daughter have always been very cordial and accommodating to our needs. Besides, you can use the facilities at the Marriott hotel down the street. We've been staying there so long, we don't even pay any attention to the train. Great place to ride bikes to the river and parks. Close to restaurants and more.

Not to much of a campground. Asphalt parking and rocks between spaces. Spaces are very close. They have cable and my tv found 278 channels and you dont get that many. Train tracks are right in the back yard of this place. They seem to run all night so its noisy. Only plus I find for the place is diesel is right on site would find another site and not stay here again.
