Great for adults camping fish awesome i was sitting on the bank i could see the fish jump up big beautiful fish i wasnt fishing . They sell firewood ice sometimes icecream .
Before I wrote this review I read some of the other reviews it seems like there's some very inexperienced campers writing reviews in regards to the fishing it's really not very good I've lived around here for some time and everyone local here knows that fishing at AJ jolly is not even worth the time it takes to drive through the front gate there are nothing but very small channel catfish and a few Mudcats.
In addition to that this Campground is not tent friendly there are very few primitive campsites or Advanced campsites with water or electric that can support a tent because they are all on a heavy incline and if it ever rains which it often does around here you will end up with a lot of water rushing on to your tent which is already on a hill.
At one time, there was a swimming area in one portion of the lake that was a popular summer activity for families. The swimming area was closed more than twenty years ago with the promise of construction of a swimming pool and water park in the near future. This has never materialized due to lack of funding being available, although funding has been available for construction of horse barns, horse trails, and updating the golf course.
All in all the experience was far less than satisfying and what's really crappy about the whole thing is we live only about 4 miles away from this place and we live there for 10 years and never came to this campground and on our first visit this is how our experience ended up turning out.
There is glass all over the place you cannot allow your kids to walk around here in the grass without shoes on you definitely should not have your dog running around here.
The park does have 2 tennis courts that are in disrepair with cracks in the pavement with weeds growing through them. Two ballfields are located adjacent to the picnic areas and soccer fields are located within walking distance from the picnic area.
The park offers both primitive camping areas and spaces with electrical hook up. The lake shore in these areas is also not child friendly.
The lake shore is not child friendly in many areas around the picnic areas and the fishing is not very good. The majority of fish caught are smaller sun fish, carp, and cat fish.
Use to go there when i was younger it has changed alot but i still had fun with grandkids
I do not recommend this park for families with children to spend more than hour or two. There is not much for them to do.
A. J. Jolly park is in a rural area in Campbell County, KY. There is a fee charged to enter the park gates in a vehicle and there is no parking available other than inside the park gates.
The park offers picnic areas, several small play areas with swings and jungle gyms for smaller children located just inside the gates.
The main priority for those who plan and operate A. J. Jolly park seems to be horse riding trails and the golf course which are located on the opposite side of the lake from the picnic area.
I feel like there is more to say but right now these are the main topics that are bothering me.
Finally I will end this with a small complaint I have been to many campgrounds when we camp we usually camp for 3 weeks at a time I guess you could say I'm an avid camper the reason I mentioned that is only two add conviction to my complaint about the prices of firewood here at AJ jolly they want over $8 for a small bundle of firewood and the firewood is riddled with tree killing pests that have left most of the wood that they sell looking like Swiss cheese be careful that you don't transfer these bugs or take them home with you and every other Campground I've ever been to is very specific about firewood with bugs and they do not want you bringing your own firewood in especially if it has bugs.
The problem is the bugs from where you live might not be good for the trees wherever you take or go camping and all of the other campgrounds I've ever been to have never asked for more than $5 for a reasonable bundle of wood this Campground wants over $8 for a really poor amount of infested wood.
Love everything abt A.J JOLLY, BEEN CAMPING HERE FOR ALMOST 7 YRS NOW & I HAVE ENJOYED IT EVERYTIME & I HAVE SOOO MNY MEMORIES W/ FAMILY & FRIENDS CAMPING..........
on the third night tied up everything tight because we expected some rain around 7 in the morning it started to rain so we got up and went out for breakfast and stopped by the zoo after the rain we were gone for about 4 hours on a Wednesday in the middle of the day time when we came back someone had stolen our kayak and the paddle which was chained up by my dog chain since we took our dog with us I did not want the kayak to get washed into the water by running water down the hill so I chained it up and then I put the paddle over by the truck and surprisingly only the paddle and the kayak are gone when I come back.
I went to the front desk to complain about the stolen equipment and they were also again less than concerned no one offered any apologies or any I went to the front desk to complain about the stolen equipment and they were also again less than concerned no one offered any apologies or any type of reconciliation for our stolen boat while on their property having paid for residence there.
However I can say that every time I was at the front desk there were someone there with a problem. Most of the time the people were arriving and their reservations were messed up, the people at the counter seem to be less than concerned and blamed all of the problems on the online reservations system.
I'm not sure exactly where to start.
