Set amidst the rolling hills of the Bluegrass lies one of America's finest resort campgrounds - the Kentucky Horse Park Campground.

Our Campground offers 260 spacious sites with 50/30/20 amp electric and water. All sites are 55' paved back-ins with fire rings and picnic tables. Two dump stations are provided for your convenience as you exit the park. A full service facility, our Campground has many extras for your comfort including a grocery, gift shop and two bathhouses with modern conveniences.

During your stay, be sure and take advantage of our planned recreational activities or catch a game of tennis or basketball on lighted courts, cool off in our junior olympic-size swimming pool, try your hand at pitching horse shoes, croquet, or maybe square dancing in the recreation pavilion.

Your children are number one on our lists. In addition to planned activities and games led by our recreational leader,your children will enjoy swimming or playing in one of our unique playgrounds.
