Its a decent park on the banks of the Kentucky River. Sites are pretty tight in some areas, and the one side of the campground backs up to a rock quarry that can be pretty annoying. Also the main road outside the campground is a long hill that the semis and dump trucks travel on using their jake brakes at all hours.
With all that being said, it is a clean place to stay if touring the area but I wouldn't call it a great place to stay to camp. The tours of the fort are nice, and its a very short drive, or a decent walk to get there. I don't recommend going there in the heat of the summer as there aren't many really shady sites, just enough trees to block the sun at certain times of the day
