The only thing that got the rating up from a 3 to a 4 star is the military discount and price. Otherwise, the spots are right on top of each other, theres no sewer hook UPS either. Normally thats not a big deal if you have a good dump site but they do not! There is no water at all at the sewer dump. If you dont know that youre screwed and stuck with solids in your tank until you can get somewhere that you can rinse your tank. Very disappointing. The views are great if youre the only one in the park like I happened to be on this trip (for the most part). I even got to see a mating pair of bald eagles here on my last morning. Ill be back - but definitely only during off peak times and Ill make sure to fill my water tank enough to rinse my black tank with.

My family has deemed GRL our favorite local chill spot! Its 90 minutes from home. The lake is very relaxing. They have areas for RV and tent camping they offer mini golf and convenient boating docks

Pretty views, and nice staff at check in. There was trash in our fire ring and around the campsite. There was also trash when you walked along the waterfront. I am not sure if they had camp hosts but having a few could help keep the place cleaner, if they were tasked with cleaning up the campsites and water front, as in most other places. They also advertised Wifi but it was to slow to be of any use. We only saw the staff at check in. They did have ice to purchase, store was not stocked when we were there.

Were campers and fishermen. This is the only campground on Green River thats open until Dec. So, just spent 3 days there. Been here a long long time ago and its pretty much the same. Campsites with pads are very close to each other and often share the same electrical boxes. Take a long ext cord! Bathrooms were okay, clean but definitely not upgraded much. We miss the more secluded, more remote campsites like LBL, Laurel, Holmes Bend, etc. If other campgrounds were open now, wed have surely gone elsewhere. No reflection on the staff. FYI, tent sites are mostly hillside, so research before you select a site or you might roll into your neighbor s camp

Very busy camp ground but considering how many campers there were it was very relaxing and peaceful. Will definitely be back. Ps bring a portable waist water caddy. The dump station on Sunday was 6 campers deep waiting to dump!

Love the park. But the kind of trash (beer cans, bottles and broken glass) people are leaving at the Point of the Lakeshore hiking trail is horrible! I love day-hiking, and only recently discovered these trails. If Id have known the trails were so littered and the Point was so trashed I would have tried to pick up a lot myself and pack it out with me. I had no garbage bag, and my small and already filled day pack wasnt going to help. Looks like drunken boat people are pulling up to party and then just leaving the area ruined in their wake. Hikers are not usually committed to carrying heavy amounts of party supplies down a trail for miles just to leave an area worse than they found it. Im sure funds for park personnel and cleaning efforts are few and far between. That said, its just so thoughtless, arrogant and selfish the way people will mistreat the Great Outdoors. LEAVE NO TRACE, PEOPLE!

My daughter and I have brought our horses here a few times. We love the trails. They are well maintained. There is also a good variety of levels of diffuculty. Today we came up Devils Canyon. Quite a challenge! The trails could be better marked and many of them are not on the map. But besides that, it is a great place to ride.

Were staying here for Amazon n the people are super nice, Wes is a really nice guy. Were here till Dec 24th but gonna hide while they close the park. Love it here......

If youre looking for a place to kick back and relax and enjoy nature or to go boating on the lake, look no further, you have found the right place. Green River Lake State Park offers a marina for boaters, and a nice clean Park for picnics and gatherings, as well as walking your dog.

Beautiful lake area, but the campsites were mostly out in the middle of a field. It was clean and well maintained, but in the summer there would no escaping the sun.

Broken glass and garbage at tent sites. Beware of this campground and keep looking. After driving 8 hours we found our campsite covered in broken glass, cigarette butts, miscellaneous garbage and the smell of human excrement coming from the above wooded area. They failed to mention that all of the primitive campsites are on a slippery, steep slope with no on site parking. The supposed full shade doesn’t exist - there are trees but the sun still comes up in the east so there isn’t shade until the afternoon. Stayed 1 night of a 4 day reservation and hoping for a refund...

Beautiful setting. We enjoyed the hiking, especially the lakeshore trail.It wasnt busy Monday to Thursday. Lots of campsites open. The beach was flooded and closed.

My favorite lake. Summer fun place. Take a load off your mind place.

I have been visiting Green River Lake State Park for over 30 years. That length of time dedicated to repeat visits is really all that needs to be pointed out about the greatness of Green River.Over the years, they have upgraded certain areas, including adding to activities in which you can participate, modernizing the Modern Campground (an area for RVs and those who would like clean running water, toilets and electrical outlets right next to them), and expanding services at the Park Store and Marina.The Primitive Campground is amazing as well. With an up close look at natures beauty, the Primitive area is for the hardcore campers. Though bathrooms are about a quarter mile away, there is no electric, no clean water; its just you and a gorgeous expanse of lake and sky.I hope that everyone reading my review will make a point to visit this State Park at least once in their life. With something for kids and adults alike to enjoy, I can guarantee that no one here will be bored!

Nice area, but for a state park, the staff seems to have no desire to keep the facilities clean and kept up. No soap in the bathrooms. Showers dirty with clogged drains. I get that it’s a campground, but if you’re going to offer those amenities, they should be kept up. Especially during a pandemic when you want ready access to things like soap, empty soap dispensers are irresponsible.Also, I don’t recommend hiking the windy trail nearby. There isn’t a path. If you want to get lost, have at it.

Nice place. Has charcoal grills and picnick shelters. The beach is also very nice.There is a fee of 8$ a person. But make sure to ask if that covers Huntington beach too. We didnt know that until we got there. We were not able to go to the other beach but we would have planed to if we had known.It was atill an amazing visit.

The campgrounds are very clean and well kept. Restroom facilities are cleaned on a daily basis. Nice mini golf course for the kids. Free WiFi. We will certainly consider going again.

Very beautiful and well kept campground. I will be back.

Nice campground cam see water from just about all the campsites.

It was ok. I had fun. I wish I had my fishing poles

Lobe this place. Next to the water and so beautiful

Absolutely beautiful park.

Will visit this place yearly because I also get to visit family at same time and this is a great place to do so.

Great tent sites next to the lake. Too bad playgrounds and some of the other amenities were unavailable due to Covid.

Most beautiful place in the heart of kentucky.

They need more showers to accommodate all the people and enforce the quiet after 11pm rule more

This place is wonderful, great for camping, swimming, picnic, several people used their jet ski. Amazing state park!

I have been visiting the walking trails. There are easy to very difficult trails depending on the level you choose. Be careful though, some trails could be marked better. I got lost several times but eventually made it out.

Had a picnic at a pull off just before the beach and it was a gorgeous view. Went to the beach for a dip. The water was a little murky but not too bad.

What a fun place to take the family!

Would have preferred more primitive/wooded tent camping options.

Loved the state park with picnic tables ... N the lake right in front love it...

Great family fun place to get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

Good camp ground with, for the most part, folks that dont act stupid.

No enforcement of the 11pm quiet time. Horrible experience last night with loud music and drinking. Not what you want for your family and a nice weekend at the lake.

Great place to bring your family gatheringsCamping,swimming, and grillingFive star

Trails peaceful. Well kept.

Since 1992 this place has been our family’s favorite park in Kentucky. The clean clear lake, the hidden fishing spots, calm swimming waters, campgrounds, and friendly locals make it a great stop for those visiting Kentucky.

We love the park so clean and friendly just need a washer and dryer room so bugs is not all over them and in them and you wouldnt have to stay out in the rain and cold

The sites were dirty, the fire pits was not clean. Will not be returning

Grass is not mowed very good at all just in spots. cigarette butts everywhere! dont know who keeps it up but the management needs to do something!! they dont even weed-eat my site was full of grass I had to wash it off come on people!

Great spot to camp. Large areas. It goes quiet at 11:00 pm.

Absolutely beautiful, need more beach areas for families with little children!

I love it there, great place

Peaceful. Friendly. Beautiful. We had a super great camping weekend. Springtime at its finest!

Pretty clean park with nice camping spots.

Beautiful State Park Always Clean and Friendly.. Campground Reservation must be made online.

It was beautiful but I thought it had a beach!!

Beautiful scenery and walking trails. Clean and well kept.

Very scenic lake, campground was a little crowded.

Its a state park so make sure to bring your own wood. The beach is rocky but good fun for swimming and boating with a variety of spots to choose from. The spots can be poorly marked and it can be hard to determine where the perimeters of your campground are. The spots are small and privacy limited. Beautiful views if you choose the right spot. The site does provide photos of your spot before you book it. We did go on labor day weekend, Im guessing its usually less crammed. They do allow pets, have a fire pit, picnic tables (depending on the spot you choose) and an rv park.

Great water acses and people thair friendly

Probably one of my favorite parks with the exception of Utah and Colorado. This park has amazing water view sites. Close to town. Park hosts very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms could use a little work but functional and work well for their purpose. Very much appreciate the solitude and beauty of this park.

Beautiful day. Thoroughly enjoyed the water.

Nice lake with many hiking trails and great fishing. Very clean. Lots of wildlife and a really great visitors center. Lots of stuff for the kids and adults..the old civil war hospital was interesting. The kids loved the turkey trot trail and the mini golf course. I think the adults did too

Me and my family have so much fun!! Its a hreat family friendly place , with lots to do!!

I tent camped there the last weekend in July and it was packed at the state park campground. It is popular with both RV/pull behinds and tent campers. That being said I can tell you my stay there was still great. The campground was well kept, facilities and beach were groomed and maintained and the staff was friendly and courteous. Even at night with a full campground the noise around us was minimal and peaceful. I was surprised. The lake was close and the view and scenery were nice. Ill go back and its worth the $22 night we spent for our tent site. The showers were newer and clean also.

Pretty lake, bathrooms not very well maintained, sites : too close, shade only on 2 rows, most in full sun. Trails not well marked (no blazes) and lot of litter.

Swimming and beautiful scenery. Just beautiful.

Where i go to spend a weekend with my dad out at the lake as much as possible ♡ some of my best memories spending time with family here! beautiful lake too!

Peaceful and Relaxing.

A lot of people , so many boats, RV camper and swimming in the lake! Nice day!

Took the Fox Hollow Trail. This is clearly meant for mountain biking, but is also good for a medium difficult hike. Only got 15 minutes in before having to turn around because of fast approaching dusk, but I look forward to seeing the whole trail this weekend. Promises great water views and cliff views.

Beautiful environment. The bugs werent too bad either! Be careful of rattlesnakes if youre out on a boat and decide to stop at shores, but that wont be much of an issue. Just back off

So gorgeous out there.

Maybe its just the Summerbaby in me, but I believe I could live here lol. It isnt just my go-to place, its the fun zone for many others as well. The lake, campgrounds, picnic, and trails are always pretty populated, but not too crowded you cant enjoy your own space. Bring a some water shoes since the beach/wadding areas are a bit Rocky. Pace yourself along the trails as some of them can be uphill, but very tranquil. I like to pack trash bags for the times we grill (provided in picnic areas) bc after Im full on YogiBear with my eats I take care to do my part and clean up.Channel your inner mermaid and get goin!

Friendly people and good fishing access

I grew up in the area and the marina has grown incredibly. The rates on the boats were competitive, they provided life preservers, and the lake was beautiful. We had some luck fishing and had a great time swimming in hidden coves! Dont forget your sunblock!

This place was awesome! This was my first time here and all I was doing was trying out a boat to purchase but I would love to come back again. Looked like lots of good family fun!

Great spot! Campground is popular and does fill up!

Great time camping with family

Love this campground! One if my favorite places.

We launched our boat at the park for a night of fishing. Campground looked full an park was very clean

Nice veiw of the lake

Water so clean you cant believe it is in Kentucky.

Plenty of beach room but it is a bit rocky and the bathrooms are far away

We had another great camping season with Green River Lake

Grew up going to this lake. It has made great strides in my adult life and there are so many things to do there. The trails are good. They have good playgrounds. Perfect summers are made here.

The welcome staff is very friendly and the lake is walking distance and viewable from every camp site. It is just over 1 hour away from Mammoth cave and 2 hours from the Ark encounter if you are planning a road trip. However, the non premium sites have ZERO shade, are about half the size of the sites we typically find at state parks, and the electrical boxes are shared by two sites meaning they are not only placed in odd locations on the site but standard hook up cables often do not reach. Also, we left Sat morning but by Friday afternoon every site was full with locals. They also allow guests to park a boat, an RV, 2 vehicles, and a golf cart on one site. Because of this the camp ground became overwhelmingly loud, crowded, and busy by Friday evening. It felt like we were in the middle of a huge party we hadnt been invited too. The bath house showers need a lot of work. However, the lake and flower fields are beautiful and very fun!

Not enough trees25.00 golf cart feesOther that its Fantastic !

The lake is so beautiful and I am happy that they keep the area so clean. I look forward to coming here during the summer..

Its a very beautiful lake

Nice and good for kids

Given the fact that the playgrounds are still closed. The bugs this year were horrible, guess the didnt spray this year. But still charge full price with nothing open for the kids.

Big lake, clean environment, fun atmosphere

Omg it was amazing

Green River is awesome. However, the parking for the boat trailers is terrible.Their is no parking specific for boat trailers with vehicles. All vehicles park in the same parking lot.looks like everyone in my group will find another lake that is better set up for vehicles with boat trailers attached.

Great place for family fun

Beautiful lake! Boating, fishing, picnicking, camping, floating cabins with dock, grill, air conditioning and much more. Hotels nearby as well.

Pretty clean and not too crowded

One of my absolute favorite places to go. We always have such a wonderful time out here from camping, to boating, or even just hiking. This place is such a little getaway.

Nice park, crowded though when we where there

Peaceful, friendly campers. Close boat ramp

Anywhere where there is a body of water is absolutely beautiful

Such a nice place. Water is clean, the grounds are clean and grass was fresh cut when we went. Weather was nice, the views were scenic. Would go again.

This is a cool place to go if you have a RV or like, and maybe also a boat, but the tent camping area is not so nice. Theres very little shade in the tent section, and thus its exposed to direct sunlight (hard in the August heat). There isnt a nearby water source, and there is no electricity, if you want that. The tent area is also further away from the bathrooms than the RV area is and is also not near the swimming area, which is otherwise a nice spot.So, great place if you have a RV, camper, etc. Not so great place if youre tent camping.Also, the firewood at the store on site is fairly expensive. At the time of this review, it was $6 for a small bundle of wood.

Nice lake, looks like small sea beach. Clean water. Great place for swimming. Have a lot of barbeque spaces. Awesome place!!!

Nice place to camp. Nice shower houses. Nice lakeside camping sites. If your looking fo a tent lakeside campsite with shade then get campsite 44. Not many lakeside sites have shade.

Awesome atmosphere, very family friendly, and we love being at the lake!

Always a beautiful place!!
