Campground suggestions near Fort Knox Ky

Working on this summer's trip. Working my way west. I'm looking at stopping for a couple of days I the Fort Knox, Louisville Ky area. Checking out our campground info, Google and campgroundreviews.com everything seems average. Anybody have a favorite I this area? Again this isn't a destination, just a couple day break from driving.
As always advise is appreciated.
  • Check out the Kentucky Bourbon Trail while you are there. You will be close to Jim Beam distillery in Clermont and the distilleries in Bardstown and Louisville. The stops on the trail in Louisville are all down town, so parking for an RV might be hard to find. Louisville Slugger Museum and the Ali are also in Louisville.
  • We stayed ar Grandma's RV a few years back... right off 65... clean level pull-through FHU sites. They have a bunch of rules posted about walking your pets and speed limits and shutting off the lights in the restrooms, but in the end it makes for a nice neat place to stay.

    Staff was nothing but helpful and courteous. We would return there again if ever in the area.

    If visiting the area be sure to visit:

    Fort Knox - Take the time to pass through security and get on the base (NCIC check and id scan) visit the Patton museum and also get a glimpse of the depository...25 minutes from Grandma's

    The Whistle Stop - a great little place to eat... a real gem (216 E Main St, Glendale, KY 42740) http://whistlestopky.com/

    The flea market right behind Grandma's... wasn't open the days we were there - but heard that it was great...


    We stopped here on our way to Mammoth Caves NP, Nashville, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Smoky Mountains NP and the Hatfield and McCoy ATV Trails in WV...
