New listing
Axtel Campground is located on the shore of Rough River Lake in south central Kentucky. The 5,100-acre lake is a hometown paradise for visitors who love the outdoors, and more than two million visitors camp, picnic, fish, swim, boat and relax on the lake shore each year. Axtel is a large facility with 158 campsites, many of which have electric hookups. All campsites provide sweeping views of the lake. A swimming area, boat ramp, dump station, flush toilets, playground, showers, drinking water, fish-cleaning station and short trail are also provided. Wi-fi is available from an outside source. A wide variety of recreational activities and facilities are provided at the lake, including ample opportunities for boating and fishing. The most sought after fish are bass, crappie and catfish, and bass tournaments occur at the lake throughout the year. Pontoon, johnboat and jet ski rentals are available at the nearby marinas. The rolling, forested hills of rural south central Kentucky offer an extraordinary setting for those who visit the lake, and Rough River Lake provides views of ancient sandstone, shale and limestone cliffs. An abundance of water in the area, both surface and underground, has carved through limestone to create a myriad of sinks and caverns. The lake itself is home to numerous species of wildlife, including migratory songbirds and waterfowl. The historic Green Farm is adjacent to the lake. It consists of about 3,000 acres, a large ancestral home, an old water-powered mill and store, and a golf course; George Washington once owned part of the land. Mammoth Cave National Park, which boasts the longest cave system in the world with more than 240 miles of mapped passageways, is about a one-hour drive away. Other nearby attractions include the historic Holt House in Hardinsburg, the Jack Thomas House in Leitchfield and the new Aquatic Center in Leitchfield.
