Elkhorn Campground
About
Since 1987, Elkhorn Campground has been family owned and operated. We are located in the capital city of Frankfort, Kentucky on the banks of the Elkhorn Creek. The park is open from April 1st thru October 31st each year. Limited camping sites are available during the winter months. There are 125 sites in the park of which 109 are paved. Sixty-one sites have full hookup, including cable TV. Extra long pull thru sites are available for big rigs and campers that are towing.
We are a family oriented campground with amenities to meet each family member's needs. Everyone can cool off at the pool, or perhaps enjoy a quick game of putt-putt. The campground also has horseshoes, volleyball, and basketball courts available for the young and old. Children can enjoy the large playground including swings, slides and other equipment located near the general store. Hand-dipped ice cream is always a treat after a day of fun in the sun. Dinner can be a quick "catch" from the Elkhorn Creek with a relaxing game of shuffleboard as the sun sets.
A pavillion is available that seats 200 people for camping clubs. A huge fireplace and portable walls help keep the chill off on cool evenings in the fall. A mini-arcade is also available in the pavillion.
Sites can be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. There are limited monthly sites available in the park. Call ahead for reservations for your next family get away.

This place is well maintained and the staff are extremely helpful. We enjoyed watching the geese float down the creek and the fantastic pool.

TravelerPleasant Family Oriented Campground
We stayed at Elkhorn for 6 nights; it is a great place to use as a home base for the sites in Frankfort, as well as multiple distilleries. It is just 5-miles or 8-9 minutes to Buffalo Trace. The bathhouse is very well-kept and one of the nicest we have encountered in our 2-years of camping. The pool was also clean and well maintained. It gets crowded on weekends; lots of children. I gave it 4-stars instead of 5-stars for just a couple of minor issues... the sites are a bit close together for our liking, although they are likely standard distance apart for this type of campground. The camp store was poorly stocked with mostly empty shelves. I understand they are recently under new management, so that may be something they are still getting together. If we go back to this area we would definitely stay here again.
