Kentucky Horse Park Campground
Busy place on a Saturday in late Oct. Not my kinda place. Lots of kids. TVs. Noise. Golf carts. I think most families with small kids would have fun.
3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Perryville, Kentucky, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Cummins Ferry RV Park on the Kentucky River provides full hookups with both 30 and 50 amp service, featuring level sites that accommodate big rigs. Holmes Bend in Columbia operates from April through October with spacious pull-through sites, full hookup capabilities, and big rig access. Camp Nelson RV Park in Lancaster remains open year-round with full hookup sites, 50 amp electrical service, and well-maintained gravel pads. CampFire Ridge RV Park in Campbellsville offers sewer hookups and 50 amp service in a family-oriented setting. One traveler noted, "The sites next to the river are level and easy to back into," highlighting the accessibility at Cummins Ferry.
Cell service varies significantly throughout the region's RV campgrounds. Verizon users report 3-5 bars at Holmes Bend, while service at Green River Lake campgrounds can be limited or non-existent. Most parks feature sanitary dump stations, though positioning can be challenging at some locations. One reviewer mentioned, "To dump afterward was OK to get in but it is a tighter fit," indicating potential maneuvering difficulties. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most RV parks, with designated walking areas available. During peak seasons, particularly summer weekends and fall foliage periods, advance reservations are strongly recommended as riverfront and premium sites fill quickly. Many parks offer on-site propane, camp stores with basic supplies, and laundry facilities for extended stays.
"We were in A2 and it was a little closer to the road than we expected, and the picnic tables were secured to the ground taking up a good bit of the site for our rug and chairs."
"I give it 4 not 5 because no cell signal so it’s rustic camping which is good for some but not so much when alone."

Busy place on a Saturday in late Oct. Not my kinda place. Lots of kids. TVs. Noise. Golf carts. I think most families with small kids would have fun.
Could never get anyone to contact us about a reservation. Phone or email. I’m glad we didn’t because we stayed not too far down at White acres campground which was a way better set up with more privacy. This is a very small campground and you are packed in like sardines with very little shade. Would not recommend if you’re passing through.
Amber and her family were accommodating from the very beginning! Offered a cash price for a discount. Allowed us to extend our stay without issue. Amber even helped us provide puppy day sitting while we did some of the tours so we would not have to leave our pup in the camper. Very clean and quiet private shaded campsites. We were at the very end site 46 and was very private. Would definitely stay here again! Very convenient place to stay when you’re on the Bourbon Trail.
Very friendly staff! Accommodating On The last minute booking. Cost about $44 but water and electric is included on our partial site. Trash on site. Clean and close to the river yet not easily accessible unless you use the boat ramp. Looks like they had locker rooms or showers but did not go in to see them. Convenient camp store on site.
Nice, quite, and relaxing stay. Fire rings need to be upgraded. They were small and rusted out.
The campgrounds around here are old and not updated. But with the high price of campgrounds around here, we don’t mind staying in an area that is older for a cheaper rate. Most campgrounds in the area are $50-$75, this place is $35. With water and electricity. So it doesn’t matter that the bathrooms were quite dated but clean. There are showers but only shower curtains. There is a code to get into the bathrooms.
Prioritize money over safety of guests, period. Focus on seasonal money over long-term gas period management has literally said, we don't like these people, we realize you don't like these people, but we need their money, so get along with them. This is what they tell their permanent people to deal with during the summer when there are drunks. Literally had golf carts with unsupervised kids going past the house, over 300 notifications. Normal traffic is about 100, just on the weekend. Drunks on boats. Management is two-faced. They are so focused on making it a bougie place since they took over four and a half, five years ago, that they no longer care about making sure that they have a community that cares about each other. They have three communities. They have permanent communities who care about the park and get together and look out for each other. Then they have seasonal people who are drunk, don't care, don't follow the rules. And then they have work groups who they prioritize over residents and people who have picked up, cleaned the park, cared about the park, and don't want to see toddlers get run over by kids on golf carts like last summer. Every summer, it is nuts. There's no quiet anytime anymore, even in the dead of winter. This place is nuts. Overpriced. If you get anything in permission, like I did, get it in writing or management will use it to throw you out. I had permission for what I was doing. I'd done it for three years, and they prioritized a group of project workers that will be gone in a few months over a long-term resident who is disabled, not available to meet, not arguing with a neighbor who's a child, and lied three times in the middle of our own private conversation and ran to management with lies.
This is somewhat of a RV parking lot with level gravel sites with electric, sewer, and water. Some lots have trees. Ours did not. Park has pool, clean bathrooms and showers, laundry. People are friendly. The shop has multiple convenience items. They offer propane and have a kerosene tank too. It’s about 30 mins to Lexington. We have a 35’ travel trailer
It was really easy to get checked in and set up. They have some amazing amenities to keep the kids entertained. It is right outside of Frankfurt so you are nice and close to many different attractions.
