Wax Campground (
https://www.recreation.gov/camping/wax/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=7347 2) in Clarkson, KY for the fourth annual
Eggs a La Bourbon Rally.
Wax Campground sits on the shores of Nolin River Lake in the rolling landscape of southern Kentucky. The large lake and surrounding greenery create a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts. Nolin Dam creates a 5,795-acre lake that draws more than two million visitors each year to enjoy water sports and camping in the surrounding expanse of rolling forest. Known for its unique blue/green water, Nolin Lake is one of the top lakes in Kentucky for catfish, bass, crappie, and walleye fishing. Visitors can enjoy scenic canoe and boat trips along the river, part of which is located within Mammoth Cave National Park. Boat ramps are provided around the lake for campers' convenience. Wax Marina is located around the lake and offers pontoon and john boat rentals, as well as boat slips and groceries, bait, gas and more.
We, Troy and Anita, will be your hosts and plan to reserve site 15 as soon as the window for reservations becomes available on Dec. 6, 2018.
Please do not reserve site 15, as its location is ideal for the activities we have planned.
