Creek sounds aside, the access road is the first thing to know about Elkhorn Creek RV Park. GPS routing can send drivers down a long country road, so following the campground's specific directions is worth the extra step. Sites run a mix of concrete and gravel, with full hookups on most, and the park accommodates rigs up to 45 feet. Waterfront sites along Elkhorn Creek are available, though they tend to be the most sought-after. Rates run $50 to $65 per night.
The campground sits close enough to Frankfort that day trips into the city are easy, and several distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, including Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve, are within reach. Nearby kayak and canoe rentals give paddlers a way to get out on the water. On weekends, the park hosts live music and food trucks. Facilities include a general store, a laundry building, a pool, two play areas, and a dog park with separate sections for large and small dogs.
Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. Art Z. notes it was "a pretty urban place, not a state park," which sets the right expectations. This is a well-maintained private RV park, not a wilderness campground. One reviewer flagged the nightly rate as a bit high relative to the amenities. Reservations are available and worth making in advance if a creekside site is the priority.
Description
The two forks of central Kentucky’s Elkhorn Creek join at Elkhorn Creek RV Park to form one of the state’s best-known streams for fishing and kayaking. From the Forks of Elkhorn to its end at the Kentucky River, Elkhorn Creek provides 17 miles of nature and adventure. We have an assortment of well-maintained sites for you to choose from that include full hook-up sites, electric and water-only sites, a few pull-thrus for easy access, and free Wi-Fi through most of the park. Some of our RV sites literally rest on the banks of the creek.
Guests love our location to the Bourbon Trail, we are near some of the most famous and storied Bourbon distilleries on the Bourbon Trail.
We have all the amenities you need to have a fulfilling and enjoyable RV experience.
