A Stay at Rough River State Resort Park, Falls of Rough, KY

(Rough River State Resort Park, Falls of Rough, KY)

On Thursday, May 22^nd we moved from Diamond Lake RV Resort in Owensboro, KY to Rough River State Resort Park in Falls of Rough, KY. 

In past years we have camped many times here while our kids were growing up.  We used to take vacation around July 4^th each year and camp for a week or longer with family and friends.  The state park always has a great fireworks show.  We camped here many other times throughout the years as well, but we haven’t been here in several years.  They used to be first-come-first-serve but eventually went to an on-line state park reservations system through Reserve America.

When we drove into the campground after checking in, it brought back many memories of camping with our kids, other family members, and friends.  It was great to be back again although they have only water and electric (50 amp) hook-ups.  They do have a dump station though.

After we set up at our site we drove for a little over an hour to Bowling Green, KY, met up with our son, his girlfriend and our niece.  Then all five of us attended the Bowling Green Hot Rods AAA baseball game.  They have a very nice ballpark and we had great seats right behind home plate.  We had a great time at the ballpark.  After the game we went next door to a sports-related restaurant/bar to get something to eat and had a couple of beers.


They all had to work the next day so we didn’t stay very late.

Lisa’s sister Pam and her husband Rob (who live in Nashville, TN) own a cabin at Rough River Lake in McDaniels, KY and it's only a few miles from Rough River State Resort Park. 

On Friday, May 23^rd we travelled those few miles to their cabin for the Memorial Day weekend.  Several other family members also joined us at different times throughout the weekend.  We had a great time although it did rain part of the time.  Pam and Rob own a pontoon boat and we went out on it one day.

On May 27^th we moved the RV back to Diamond Lake Resort Park in Owensboro, KY to make final preparations for our move to Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park.
