Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park

Carlisle

Had a campsite reservation for 3 days over Memorial Day Weekend. Our site was fine, but camper hosts had set up a large bounce house 20 ft from our site. The blower to keep it running was loud and really obnoxious and right in our space all day am to 11pm. Could not hear our conversations. The center of the loop is very small and absolutely no privacy, seclusion, or peace. We understand kids playing etc, but the droning, loud motor was absolutely mind numbing. Camper hosts had the whole place for their private holiday party. Had to leave after 1 night. Would not recommend and won’t go back.

Campground is very small and very loud

Room was nice,clean,and restroom clean. The restaurant was disgusting. Buffet bar was 4-8 pm.We arrived at 530. The food appeared to have been there all day. Canned spaghetti dry and caked..turkey slices dried and curled up.no gravy. Peas,carrots,and corn for sides. No mashed potatoes or Mac n cheese,etc. No guidelines for covid. No gloves or sanitizer for patrons using the buffet. Whole pies sitting out in the open which you have to slice and serve. Yuck!
The waitress was awol til check time.
The desk clerk was engaging and friendly.I suggest it is worth visiting,because of the history surrounding it, but be sure to map out a few restaurants.

Mediocre

The State Park was great. The issue was the campground. The women's restrooms were dark and not very clean. 
The camping host was never seen. The camping host had a slum trailer. Not very well kept. An unorganized mess. The area was not monitored at all. 

Campground 

We found the park by accident & Glad we did. The resort & grounds are Fantastic. We had a room with a balcony view & it was lovely & peaceful. The room was spacious with plenty of places to store our items. The beds are comfy with plenty of pillow choices. We will be staying here again.

Awesome Place to Stay

Dora Justice was outstanding is her customer service and caring for the needs of the clients.  I hope, she is recognized for her work. We've stayed at this property many times and each time is better than last.  Thank you, Dora for all your love and kindness.

Dora Justice is the BEST!!!!

My husband and I hiked trails here, enjoying the peak of goldenrod blooming. It is a great place during the pandemic, with picnic tables and open restrooms, and few people in sight except at the parking lot.  We did not enter the museum. The trails were clearly marked. Fairly easy hiking but some hills involved. A reconstructed and closed fort is found along the trail, as well as a very interesting sign about a past health spa and resort there.  The history associated with the American Revolution, Native Americans and pioneers including Daniel Boone, the salt licks, and so forth was full of new information for me.

Nice, socially isolated hike

Nice RV and camping state park. No sewer hook up but full power and good water. It's not easy for a big rig like ours to navigate (40' MH + 20' car trailer). But my husband can back up the MH to within an inch of the hitch, so that ended up not to be a problem. Although we specified LONG site, we didn't get the single site in the camp that would have been suitable. (Nor did any other MH or RV during our stay.) The host/ranger was helpful on checkin. There's a main highway nearby, but not too noisy at night. Friendly campers all around (although we were extremely careful to not discuss politics). All were respectful of quiet times. Lots of kids roaming freely and having a great time. Site was clean and the camp was well maintained and tidy. We arrived on a weekend but left on a Tuesday. At that point, there were perhaps only two other RVs in the park -- like we had it to ourselves. We'd go back if we have reason to be in that area again.

Nice RV Park

The rooms were exceptionally clean. Beautiful grounds. The miniature golf course was in need of some repair. Most rooms only have two double beds. The food at the lodge was okay but like cafeteria style food. The meeting/conference rooms are really nice.

Just okay

Checking in we ran into a problem with a gift card I was going to use.  Pat the desk clerk said they had changed some stuff and she would take care of it for me.  It would take some time so we didn't get to use the card.  Pat had it taken care of by the next day.  We now have a card that she got reissued for us.
The room we  requested was a room on the second floor .  Someone has us down for the first floor.  Pat checked and saw that we had requested a second floor room.  Then she changed it to what we had requested.  She should get recognized for her customer skills .  Great employee!
The room was large and the beds were comfortable.  The blond girl  that was cleaning the rooms was very polite when we asked for some coffee for our second day.  We looked for her the day we left to thank her but I guess she wasn't working that day.
The only complaint I would have with our stay was the view.  My husband and I have stayed at a lot of Kentucky state parks and this was the only one that didn't have a view.  I believe they could have a view  for guests of the Licking river if they removed some bushes. I now know why they don't show the back side of the lodge rooms in photos.  It is because it is just trees.

Enjoyable stay

I had a reunion scheduled for 4 months. I turned in the approximate # attending so they would have enough food for the buffett. We had 25 fewer show so there should have been surplus food. However, the coordinator didnt have us scheduled, there were 3 other large groups ther besides us. Not enough food was on the buffett, it was cold, we ate at 5:30, she assigned 1 server for 45 people. Very hard to get drink refills. (Not ther servers fault at all). She was rude, disrespectful, and argumentative.
