We were in Bowling Green, KY, for a few days in the middle of September and enjoyed our stay. Bowling Green is the third-largest city in Kentucky (after Louisville and Lexington) and is located in the south central part of the state about an hour north of Nashville, TN. The town was established in 1798 by pioneer settlers from Virginia and became a steamboat and railroad hub through the 1800’s and 1900’s. Today the city boasts a healthy economy with several industries calling Bowling Green home, including Fruit of the Loom, International Paper, and, of course, the General Motors Corvette assembly plant. There are several enjoyable things to do in Bowling Green that we explored and definitely recommend if you’re in the area.
Bowling Green KOA Holiday; Bowling Green, KY – Campground Review
This was a spur of the moment stay as we had to leave North Carolina earlier than expected to avoid the heavy rainfall from Hurricane Florence. We were scheduled to be in eastern Kentucky at the end of September for a family reunion, so we looked for a place to hangout away from Florence but not too far west to minimize backtracking. That led us to land on Bowling Green, Kentucky. We stayed at Bowling Green KOA Holiday from September 13 through 19, 2018.
