Poland Creek

Grassy sites spread across this medium-sized campground that accommodates both RV and tent campers along Poland Creek. The facility operates from April through October, with off-season arrangements requiring contact with the City of Louisville.

Sites feature level ground with good shade coverage, and campers note the spacing provides privacy even when the campground fills up. Waterfront sites with electrical hookups cost around $30, while non-electric sites positioned a short walk from the water run about $18. A boat ramp provides creek access, though watercraft must carry proper Kentucky inspection and tags. The playground and swimming area draw families during warmer months.

Crystal C. found "everything is grassy green and beautiful" during her stay. Fishing opportunities exist along the creek, and the recreational facility opens for day use. The campground sits close enough to Louisville for easy access while maintaining a quieter setting away from urban areas.

Campers seeking additional overnight options can explore camping near Louisville, or consider the Walmart — Knoxville Supercenter for a different camping experience.

Midsized Camp with Great Amenities

I wanted to visit MaryVille Kentucky because they have what was known to be the Largest Elmtree. I was very excited to see this. However there is no camping directly in Maryville so I doubled back and went to Poland Creek campgrounds which came highly recommended by someone in town.

This is a medium size campground which offers both RV and tent camping. There is a recreational facility which can be used for day use as well. Overall everything is grassy green and beautiful.

Sites are well shaded and even. There is a playground as well as a water area where you can launch a boat. I really enjoyed the campground as a whole because even if it was highly occupied it didn’t seem as though you were right on top of your neighbor.

The location wasn't far from Louisville which made it a great escape from the city yet close enough to get back easily. I can see this being a perfect spot for a day cation as well with a swimming area perfect for families.

My site was not located right on the water, those sites are reserved for those wanting electricity. Instead I was a short distance from, still very doable. I paid $18 for the site and it was great. I had full access to all the amenities at a fraction of the $30 charged for electricity.

TIPS:

The camping season here is April through October so if you are trying to stay during off season you will need to contact the City of Louisville to make arrangements.

*If you would like to bring a boat, it must have inspection and tags for the state of Kentucky.
