Diamond Caverns RV Resort & Golf, Park City, Kentucky

    We pulled into Diamond Caverns just as another Mandalay was pulling out.  We chatted with them for a few minutes and they suggested taking the spot that they had just left, they said the neighbors were nice.  So we did and they were.  The campground office is outside of the campground across from the driveway and the sales office is located where you would think to park and register.  But I guess everyone is used to people being confused so it isn't a big deal.  There is also a golf course and condos associated with the campground but that's a couple of miles back toward the highway.  Once in the park we found our spot and plugged in, which tripped the 100 amp breaker feed six other 50 amp sites down the row.  Like most parks, the electrical has a lot to be desired.  We were able to get everyone back up and running and only tripped the breaker a few more times during our ten-day visit.  The park has a mixture of 30 and 50 amp sites.  Most of the pull-thru sites were 30 amp.  The facilities were a bit worse for ware.  Overall the park is nice enough, but really needs a lot of repair and upkeep.  We had the great fortune of meeting several new friends there and with that, the worn conditions of the park mattered less.

     There is very little phone service and even less Internet.  We purchased a week from the private contractor who set up some directional antennas to feed the park.  (unfortunately, none pointing toward us)  So even after paying $25 for a week, it was still iffy for streaming, but okay for email.  The Internet in the "Spa" was better and free.  What used to be a spa is now a lounge, library and weight room and they still refer to it as the spa.  The other thing about the campground is, that it's located near a gun range.  We heard shooting the whole time we were there, but on the weekend it was non-stop shooting from 7 am until dark.  

     During our stay, we did have a thunderstorm come through and strike close enough to cause a surge that caught our microwave on fire filling the coach with smoke.  It went out on its own and seems to be working just fine.  That was enough for me to install a permanently mounted surge protector.  (one of the perks of being a retired electrician)  It didn't take long to install and has a built-in time delay before its contact close allowing surges to dissipate before it closes.  However, I found the low-voltage trip feature gets lots of use in these il-wired parks.  

      While we were there, we took a tour of Diamond Cavern.  It's a wet cave, so it has a lot of geological features.  It's located right at the entrance to the RV park.  We also went to Mammoth Cave Visitor Center and learn the history of the cave and the area. We had planned to tour part of the cave, but I was dealing with vertigo and we never went, but plan to return.  A half an hour drive south of the campground is Bowling Green where we donated to Camping World and visited the Corvette Museum.  That was worth the $10 admission if you're into Corvettes and by law, being that I'm a male in my mid-fifties I have to be.  One of the most interesting things about the museum is the sinkhole that swallowed eight Corvettes a few years back.
