Whispering Hills RV Park

Clean, family friendly...would stay again for sure!

This is a newer private campground; the facilities are newer and well maintained (i.e., pool, basketball court, playground, fishing pond, bathrooms and laundry.) Proximity to Georgetown Kentucky during the annual Horsey Hundred bike ride is our reason for being here during a Memorial Day holiday weekend. This is a very good campground for families with children or for those who want to explore the Georgetown, KY area (in addition to the Horsey Hundred bike ride, this area is in the heart of the "Bourbon Trail" and some of the most beautiful rolling hills and Kentucky's world class horse country.) The Toyota Kentucky plant where they assemble Camrys is about five miles away and has daily tours (book in advance!)

The sites are square to the road so that access is a little trickier than with an angled sites. The sites and roads are gravel and could get bit dusty when the campground is busy. The sites are typically sized for a private campground but large enough for a large sized RV to extend it's slides. There is no privacy between the sites (typical for private campgrounds in our experience.) All sites are three way (W/E/S) and level side to side. Our site had a fair amount of slope front to back which is easily addressed in a travel trailer but not so much in a motor-home.

The closeness of the sites meant that when the "smoke people" arrived (i.e., weekend campers) the entire campground looked like downtown Beijing during a temperature inversion. For this reason alone we would probably try to stay at the nearby Kentucky State Park in the future (i.e., The Kentucky Horse Park.)

I-75 is about two miles to the west and there can be some highway noise at times if there is a gentle breeze from the west. I mention this in case someone is extremely sensitive, in general we did not find the highway noise to be an issue and we are generally sensitive to this!

It appears that approximately half the sites are occupied by seasonal campers who use this as a "weekend cottage." There are few if any "permanent residents." The seasonal campers and sites are well maintained (no junk.) .

Everyone we spoke with here was very friendly and welcoming. The park is kept clean and maintained very well. Bathhouses are spacious and clean. Our site backed up to a small lake. Nice playground for kids. We visited off season but the pool area looks nice too.

Let’s start from the beginning. Road to the campground is about 1 1/2 miles long and kinda tight in spots. Check in was smooth and people were friendly. Had someone take us to our site and help get me backed in. Site backed up to a fishing pond. Was pretty level, just needed one 2x4 under the left wheels. Site wasn’t very wide and there are no shade trees at all in the park. Lots for kids to do with a nice pool, pavilion with a stage and a band on Saturday night, several inflatables for kids to play on, a fishing pond and basketball court. Hookups were easy but the sites along the pond the drain for the tanks has to flow up hill a bit. City water so pressure is at 72 pounds. Make sure to bring a regulator. Bath houses are individual rooms with toilets and shower. Very nice and clean. Hot water took about 2-3 minutes but was good and hot. Staff very friendly and campground was well kept. Overall, a great place except for no shade and closeness of some sites.

Nice facility. Excellent bathrooms- all in one - like having your own madter bathroom. Very nice staff.

We stayed here while traveling from NC to MI and were very pleased with the campground. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were clear and well maintained. The sites are large and fairly level.

You really can't ask for more from a private campground. Sure you don't get shaded lots and the sites are close together but you have to expect that will a private campground. Only government run parks are likely to be different.

Additionally, both the cellular signal and tv signals were good.

So, I would say overall a great private campground. If I had to think of something negative to say I would have to chose the road leading into the campground could be wide and better paved but it wasn't really a big deal because there was a lot of traffic. If not for that I would give 5 stars for everything and I don't consider myself easily pleased.

Nice, large campground with pool, playground, lake, pavilion, basketball court, 2 small laundry/bathhouses. Pretty good WiFi, good amount of space between most sites which have plastic table and fire ring. ice and limited supplies in office. Escort to sites which were fairly level gravel. Provided jack pads if needed. Cons : NO cable, dusty interior roads, limited number of bath houses for the number of sites, some road noise from interstate and train whistles. Have to sign paper that you will not put rugs or vehicles on grass - had read other reviews about this, but basically they want you to respect their property. We were in site 21 backed to deep ravine . There were some trees behind the site which were nice. Most of the park is clear of trees. Those that back to lake have a nice view.

Tips: Creation Museum is about 1 hour north and Ark Encounter about 30 minutes north, both are well worth the visit - plan at least one full day at each. Toyota Factory tour in Georgetown is very interesting, and the Kentucky Horse Park is well worth a visit if you are interested in horses (another full day tour). Only visited one of many distilleries in the area. Lexington has some interesting history around the area, but that will have to wait for another trip. There is shopping and restaurants convenient to the RV Park right off the interstate a few miles from park. There is a small Camping World store too.

The staff was friendly, check-in was one of the fastest I've ever experienced and the grounds were clean.
The sites had a little bit of a grass patch but there was no room to park your tow vehicle so most people had to park their vehicles along the road which made getting in and out of your site tricky. There weren't many trees either so it felt just like a large parking lot.
The price was decent for an overnight stay with FHU, I just would not make this my destination.

This campground is affordable but if your on a lane with sites on both sides it will be tight. The campground fines you if you park on the grass and there is no room for your tow vehicle on your site. If you need to leave early you’ll either need to wake up several neighbors to move the vehicles or be an expert at maneuvering your rig. It does have a dog park but the mowing access gate wasn’t latched properly and our dogs were able to get out so make sure you check all gates. We probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Whispering Hills? There are no whispers going on at this park. Everyone is so close you get to listen to your neighbors talking, opening closing doors, their dogs barking. The worst part is the heavy equipment packing down the gravel. Each day they run a backhoe against the gravel to pack it down then follow up with a roller. SUPER LOUD. The ground shakes. If you have animals they will try to hide. This by far is the worst I have ever witnessed at an RV park. They should honesty have this on their website.
