Kentucky Horse Park Campground

We love the horse park. First location is wonderful. Literally on the grounds of the gorgeous Kentucky Horse Park and less than 30 minutes to UK’s Campus. 

The sites are spacious and fairly flat. Big bonus for state parks. There are lots of mature trees which are great for every season of camping. 

All sites are back in only and there are no full hook ups. This wasn’t an issue as there are 2 dump stations with 2 pipes each. 

We recommend this to anyone! 

Beautiful, flat, spacious

There are plenty of amenities and clean restrooms but this is really nothing to write home about if you're looking for a great outdoors getaway. It's definitely cheaper than a hotel though. If you're comfortable in a tent and don't want to shell out the cash for a hotel, this may be a good option for you.

Decent for staying during events

We stopped here on our way through and didn't find much reason to stay longer...it was clean "enough", and the basic facilities were there, but we felt it had more potential than what it offered.  Saw a few horses on trails, but being an experienced horse rider myself, I wouldn't call the trails anything special or worth the trip.  

Very beautiful CG in Kentucky. Green everywhere and lots of fun. Hiking, trails, etc. all around, and of course, the Horse Park!

Beautiful

Worth spending time at. The sunset was gorgeous 

Beautiful experience 

lovely place to visit very quiet and serine 

great views

Nice campground in Horse Country. Big sites and shade. Full hook ups. Close to a lot of resound shopping

Nice

Great location with tons of fun stuff to do on site and nearby.  Shady and level sites all located near the well maintained bathhouses and other top notch facilities.  Highly recommend visiting this campground.

Beautiful and Fun Campground 

Much like the name says there are horses but this campground is much more than horses. I noticed that whenever I pulled in the campsites are large and spacious. Great for RVs or tent campers alike. I was very excited to stay in this area based on the location it’s self. This location is close to the Bourbon Trail and very close to Lexington it self and all of the activities that await you while there. Their local he is a mail which mills their own flower with a water wheel that still runs from the early 1900s. My site was Both level and grassy it made for a great night and despite the fact that the camp was pretty full it didn’t seem overly crowded.

Great camping for all ages 

Always sites  available. They have 260 sites with hookups. Additional electric  primitive  and acres of basic primitive. Nice central  bathhouse, laundry, pool tennis and basketball courts and playground. Great campstore. On the grounds  are the horse arena and stables you can walk around. Nice fishing  lake with sidewalks. Our site had table firepit water and electric. Favorite  sites 140 and 141 pull thru. 

Camping and horses, nice!

Over 250 full hookup sites, great shade, beautiful trees, good size lots, however, some are on a grade making leveling difficult. Electric and primitive sites available. Great for equestrian trailers, convenient location off Interstate and right next to Kentucky Horse Park. Bathhouse, game room, laundry, camp store available. Numerous playgrounds and basketball courts for the kiddos. Swimming pool and for the avid hikers a trail that takes you to downtown Lexington. 

Great Place to Relax and Unwind

Plus...First let me start by saying the people who work at the campsite store are wonderful. The land is great, convenient set up. 
Minus...the cost is a bit more than what I normally pay. There is a booking fee not listed on the price boards. No port-a-potty around the primitive sites. 

Beautiful place and great people!

This campground is right off 75, but you can’t hear or see the interstate. 260 sites, so large, but well laid out. Two large bathhouses, camp store, two playgrounds, basketball court, huge pool (real deep end). Horse park is connected, which you can go watch events, pond for fishing, museum, another playground and horses you can pay to ride. Sites are really level, should not need much to get level. Most sites have shade, lots of big trees. No full hookup, but water and 20/30/50. It can be busy, especially on weekends. Lots of golf carts, which is my only thing I do not like. Not real safe for kids to ride bikes on weekends. Stay here often.

Large, busy and clean campground 

Great place to take the family! A lot of Kentucky heritage here!

Love this place!

Easy to get to.  Nice big spots, some aren’t level but nothing major. They have a lot of amenities but most are closed right now due to Covid. 

Horse country

Kentucky Horse Park is a working horse farm and educational center. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 the tours were unavailable when we visited. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The sites were spacious and well maintained. They all come with a picnic table, fire pit and full hook-ups. The bathrooms, showers and laundry room were clean and also well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating. A great location, especially if planning to visit Lexington during your stay. 

Kentucky Horse Park Campground, KY

I'll preface this with the fact that I am a Lexington, KY Native and have always lived close to the Kentucky Horse Park and Kentucky Horse Park Campground, but have never stayed there until this weekend. 

  

We stayed on Loop A in site #38.  
  
First, site #38 was a great large and fairly level site with 50AMP hookups and Water. There were no sewer hook ups, but the park has 2 dump stations that accommodate 2 RV/Trailers being dumped at one time. The site had a large amount of space between ourselves and our neighbors and we had a lot of extra space behind out paved site that was grassy. A great area for the kids/pets to run around.   
  
The park has 2 playgrounds (one was closed due to COVID and the sanitizing that would have to be done. The park said they didn't have the staff to sanitize the playground further from the office/store). There is a community pool (it was closed because it isn't memorial day yet and the staff is still trying to determine if it will open this season after being closed all of 2020 due to COVID).

  

You're able to bring your Golf Cart if you would like but you must get a permit from the campground office/store. They say there is a rule that no one under the age of 16 or anyone without a valid drivers license is allowed to drive the golf carts, but this is clearly not enforced, as my kids were nearly run over (more than once) by young kids speeding around on the gold carts.   
  
The park is great for bike riding and you can travel just a short distance to get to the Legacy Trail (a 12 mile paved trail great from biking/running that runs from the horse park into downtown Lexington). It rained most of the day on Saturday while we were there but in the evening, we got to get the bikes out and go see the horses as they were grazing in the fields.   
  
Right next door, you have the World Famous Kentucky Horse Park. Their trail rides are back open (Ages 7 an older $25.00 per person) and they also have their Pony ride for kids 12 and under ($5 a person) opened back up. You can go visit the different barns, go to the museums, etc.   
  
Just 1 exit north on I75 you have  a Camping World, for all of your camping needs and then 1 exit after that you have a Walmart and Lowes for other things. Many food options as well.   
  
There is a gas station just down Iron Works pike for all of your fuel and and snack needs. Attached to the gas station is also a liquor store.   
  
Your smack in the middle of Georgetown and Lexington which both offer several family friendly Craft Beer Breweries/Taprooms, a lot of great local eating options and bars/nightlife options.   
  
On Holidays now, at the Horse Park Campground, you have to have 5 day minimum stay, which can get a bit pricey.   
  
All around though, great little campsite with easy access to I65/I64.

Nice Campground Right between Lexington and Georgetown

Great location and beautiful park, well laid out and the grandkids loved the pool, playground and basketball courts. 

Beautiful Campground 

Be careful which site you select

Nice wider sites and plenty of open spaces. Location near Lexington was great for daily exploration. 

Good Lexington Location

Nice campground. Enjoyed the horse park and discounts from campground. 

Horse park capital 

Car camped in the primitive electric area. Parking is on grass - some spots are shaded. Primitive and primitive electric sites are FCFS. Lots of availability on Sunday night. Regular sites look nice - paved with picnic table, big trees. Clean bath house. Lots of amenities. Family friendly.

Easy access for my quick overnight stay

This campground was a great place to stay. We stayed the weekend while we were in Lexington for the RailBird festival. 

Great Camping

Beautiful campground surrounded by horse country. Slightly rolling hills in campground but mostly level sites. We chose site 13 because it looked level in pics and had some open green space behind for our dog (neighboring site did as well). Able to set up with no boards or leveling blocks. 

Lots of trees in campground (leaves hadn’t started back yet) and medium size lots with water and electric only. Two dump stations available. 2 laundromats, a pool (closed when we were here), and large camp store.
