Nonstop bicycles and barking small dogs even late into the night. We have two labs so we have dogs also. We spend time with the so no barking and they are tought not to bark. Park shuts down at 11.00 pm. No quite time till 12.00 am. People with 10 screen tvs turned up loud. Tried playing music to drown them out, gave up went inside. Still heard the movie inside. Went to main office found the Park Ranger watching TV. Explained the problem to him only to get harrassed by a cocky JERK who started questioning me and rasied his voice( WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?) Try doing you job. Left only to get followed back to my campsite and he left again. This Job is perfect for him .NO supervision and you dont do anything but watch TV. ( WE WILL NEVER GO BACK) As far as the rest of the park the swimming area and boat rental and some cabins are closed for ever and left to rot away. Look a like a Ghost Town around the lake. Tall weeds in swimming area nice area for snakes not for family

This place is wonderful if you like changes in elevations and bent grass greens. You will need a cart - it is very hilly with changes of upwards of 100 feet between tee-box and greens. The club house is a shack but the lack of amenities is more than offset by the price (wkdy $8 for 9, $12 for 18, cart $12.75 for 18) and the friendly staff. It is set in the Audubon State Park which has hiking trails and is lush with vegetation. For the price and convenience, you cant beat this experience. I have been spoiled. You cannot find this nice a golf course in Texas for the 5 times the price!

This is our 2nd trip. They now have king beds!!! Stayed in cottage #102. This time for our honeymoon. Quiet, private, an scenic. Rate is reasonable. Enjoyed canoeing on the small lake. Steaks on The grill. Coffee on the back porch. Slow down when you get to Henderson Ky. stop in an get a cottage. Rustic an Layed back. Yet close to many dining options.

I would have rated this place higher if my pet could come with me and enjoy it as much as the first two times I went. I loved the nature trails and views. However, I cannot understand why pets are not allowed in the best parts of the park. I think Audubon would have wanted all animals to enjoy the area being that he himself was an animal lover!

I did some info things here and set up the date to go there and when I reached there it said it was closed and it said that it wouldnt open until 2011 and it never said that on the brochure I found on the internet and the brochure was made two days before I read it so I dont think you should go there cause its a piece of crap type thing.

One of the best parks I have visited in Midwest. It is free to visit. There are some activities which cost small amount of money. You can enjoy Kayaking or Canoeing for only 6 dollars an hour. But you have to have cash or personal check. Stuff are super friendly. I go there more than 3 times a month. I like it so much.

Love this park especially in the summer. They have camp grounds for large camping homes and even for just a tent. Fishing in the big lake and trails to hike. A golf course and cabins you can rent on the lake and places to bar b q and hang out with friends and family. Pretty clean decent park.

First time camping here and loved it! Clean shower house, friendly staff. Quite little getaway in our backyard. Got to take advantage of the events the park offered, enjoyed canoeing. Just a 30 minute drive from our home in Warrick County,Indiana. We will be back in the very near future.

If you enjoy wildlife you need to visit Henderson KY s John James Audubon State Park. The park has walking trails, fishing, hiking paths, campgrounds and a beautiful museum of John James Audubons original work. I must place to stop when traveling through #HendersonKY .

Beautiful, tree shaded campground. Clean grounds and bathrooms. Friendly staff. However, campground is located just a few hundred feet from a noisy, busy state route. Truck noises last throughout the night topped off by dumpsters being emptied in the pre-dawn hours.

This park is not only historical but beautiful too. Much to my delight they have a museum that looks like a castle and it is set into the environment so that you can actually watch nature, such as birds, small animals and occasionally deer.

Nice shady, family friendly campground with playground for kids, small lake, John James Audubon museum at top of hill that is a must see for bird enthusiasts. Lots of great spots for campers and primitive spots for tents as well.

A fine example of the park system in the Bluegrass. Trails, festivals, events for child and like. Camping, golf, paddleboating, and plenty of portals! Thanks Jimmy!!

They want 25.00 a night and do not have full hook ups. Thats a hit much, just go up the road a little and camp cheaper at Moffitt Lake.

I would say the trails and the park are a hidden gem. I loved running the trails there and would consider a cabin.
