Reviews of Taylorsville Lake State Park

One of the single best campgrounds we’ve been to in America. Large sites with water and electric, easy to park and get set down.
The playground was nice and the restrooms were clean and well built.
Will absolutely come again.
Awesome side note: this place is almost equidistant to all the major distilleries on the bourbon trail!

Overall this is a nice campground for primitive camping. The majority of the sites are spaced out and private but unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures online of the sites so the one we got was not private. We stayed at site #4 and it is best suited for a group of friends because your neighbors are 10-15 yards away with no trees or anything in between. The biggest issue with site #4 is there is no picnic table. Luckily we were only staying one night so not a big deal but there was no mention of it on the booking website (Reserve America).
Aside from that, it is well kept and the bath house was pretty immaculate for such a full weekend. Several playgrounds nearby if you have kids to occupy.
The main overall issue is the lack of staffing. I'm not sure if it's the usual or if there is a lack of staff in general but we got in shortly after 7PM and there was no ranger or staff to be found to get firewood. No honor system or anything so we had to venture out to find some after we got our tent up because the main office was closed as well. As a heads up, the Dollar General does not sell wood nor does the new Lakecity Mart gas station. We found a large white house/business of some sort that had an honor system and it was $10 for a massive bundle of wood. Oh and when we left on Sunday, as of about noon, there still wasn't any staff anywhere in the park that we saw. Not sure what was up with that.
Some of the hiking trails were well marked and up kept but some others were not so if you aren't good with navigation, choose wisely. Biggest issue we had was with the Gazebo Loop Trail/Pioneer Trail. Several spots were overgrown and not marked so you had to guess a little bit until you ran back into a well worn trail.
Didn't do any lake activities but the water looked nice and there was a lot of activity on it. Nice boat ramps as well.
Overall a nice stay but choose your site wisely. I took several pictures of each site to help others in the future. I didn't get site 7 or 10 because they were occupied but they are pretty nice as well but 10 is slightly open and not as secluded.

Taylorsville lake has a lot to offer everyone in the family. Fishing, hiking trails near and around the lake, horse park and trails, easy boat ramps and very clean bathrooms. The town of Taylorsville is clean, historic, and everyone is friendly. Weekend yard sales, farmers markets, and everything is close to the campground.

Overall we had the best week of camping and it was our best experience at any Kentucky State Park campground so far. We loved being able to rent boats at the marina and everyone was so friendly!
Only complaint is that the bathrooms at the campground need more attention. The womens was out of toilet paper for almost 2 days. And the trash was only emptied once the entire week we were there.

Clean, level, RV friendly spots in a groomed, well maintained park. Very quiet, but close to the lake for recreation. Restrooms, showers and laundry facilities available.

This is a great little campground and is close enough to home that during our inaugural trip with our new camper, we were able to make a run back home to grab a few needed supplies. It was super clean and staff was friendly. We'll surely be back.

Nice campground with big sites, the only downside for us was the power went out. That’s not the park’s fault but all other campgrounds its very clear where the host is so you can find out information. We honestly never saw a ranger or campground host all weekend.

Beautiful clean park. The hiking trails were not maintained and hard to follow in some spots but they showcased the beautiful natural area around the lake. It was very peaceful and serene. The restrooms were closed for the season. The only play ground for children was in the campground.

overall felt like it was a very nice campground..The lots are huge. The space in between campers is very spacious..the bathrooms were your typical campground bathroom nothing extravagant..you not on lake but fishing is just around the corner. if you have kids try to get sites 1-10 they are right next to playground..other sites are more the adults..sites 41-45 are great to get if u have big parties..Definitily loved it. even though fishing was bad that day
