Best Equestrian Camping near Frankfort, KY

169 Reviews

Kentucky Horse Park Campground accommodates horses with 260 sites, located near Lexington, 35 miles from Frankfort. While no dedicated horse corrals are available on campground property, campers have direct access to the adjacent Kentucky Horse Park where equestrian facilities can be used during events. The campground offers water and electric hookups (20/30/50 amp) for RVs and tent sites with spacious, level paved areas suitable for horse trailers. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings with most offering shade from mature trees. Sites in B Loop tend to be smaller than the more spacious A Loop. The campground maintains clean bathhouses, laundry facilities, a camp store, and multiple playgrounds, though some sites can flood during heavy rainfall.

The Legacy Trail connects the campground to downtown Lexington, providing a paved 12-mile route for cycling and walking, while equestrians can access trails within the Kentucky Horse Park grounds. Logan-Hubble County Park in Lancaster (about 30 miles south of Frankfort) offers additional horse-friendly camping with electric hookups and water access. Horse owners staying at Kentucky Horse Park Campground receive discounted admission to the Kentucky Horse Park itself, where visitors can watch horses grazing in fields, visit barns, tour museums, and participate in trail rides ($25 per person for ages 7 and older) or pony rides for younger children. The campground remains busy during horse show seasons with numerous golf carts and visitors, creating a festive atmosphere during events.

    Taylorsville Lake State Park Campground

    Quiet, bathrooms lacking.

    We had a pretty decent time at Taylorsville Lake. The spots were spacious, and very nice picnic tables. We did a trail which was nice and went down to a boat ramp to see the lake. You can also rent boats there as well. The bathrooms in my opinion needed a major cleaning. They were nice just not very clean. We most likely won’t visit here again but was nice to hit a Kentucky campground. I have found that camping in Kentucky is much cheaper than in Indiana. Definitely worth a checkout.

    Kentucky Horse Park Campground

    Great Place to Relax and Unwind

    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.

    Kentucky Horse Park Campground

    Nice Campground Right between Lexington and Georgetown

    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.

    Kentucky Horse Park Campground

    Clean and convenient

    Clean bathrooms and sites, within easy walking distance to the Kentucky Horse Park. Pay attention to which site you pick- if you’re in c loop, it’s a long walk to the bathroom!

    Kentucky Horse Park Campground

    Great facilities, friendly staff and close to the Kentucky Horse Park.

    It can accommodate all sizes of tv's and also tent campers. All types of hook-ups with well maintained road access.

    The office/store is well stocked and the help is friendly. It is not far off of main highways and close to the Kentucky Horse Park.

    Taylorsville Lake State Park Campground

    Peaceful, horse and fisherman friendly

    Felt like we were the only people without a horse or a fishing pole! Great water for kayaking and beautiful sunsets.

    Lots of raccoons in the area, so make sure your food is secure. Some of the sites are equestrian only, but they may give leeway. We reserved our primitive site ahead of time.

    Good weekend trip from Louisville.

    Kentucky Horse Park Campground

    Kentucky Horse Park Campground, KY

    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.
