My and some of my friends are looking to go camping on Friday August 3rd, and come home Sunday the 5th. I'm in the northwest suburbs of chicago and I want it to be under a 3 hours drive. there will be 8-10 people, taking two cars, and we will be camping in tents. I see online that most of the state parks in the area are full. We wish to go to a place that has showers and flush toilets, but not a watered down expirance like a koa. anyone have and ideas on where we could find a campsite on such short notice?

Where are some good places to camp with kids in KY?

We will have a 4, 7, & 8 year old with us. We are planning to camp in a tent. I would be interested in any suggestions for this or places that have cabins. Thank you!

Answer
Any of the State Park or Army Corps campgrounds would be great. Carter Caves State Park is one of my favorite places to camp. The kids will love the caves if you opt to take a tour. Carter Caves as well as nearly all of the state parks (http://www.parks.ky.gov) have modern bath houses and play grounds. Have fun!
