Other picnic sites are located near an area where a fire lookout tower once stood. S-Tree Campground Map View S-Tree Campground Guide & Map (pdf) S-Tree Fire Tower once stood near the entrance to the campground. Towers like these were important tools in detecting and fighting devastating forest fires. Fire towers were home to the lookouts who ran them. A tower cab was just big enough for a wood stove, two cots, a cabinet, storage box, small table, and a stool. The all-important alidade, or fire finder, stood in the middle of the room. By the mid-1970s, firefighters used aircraft for fire detection. Many towers, like one that stood here, were torn down because they could no longer be maintained in a safe condition.

          Kentucky Horse Park Campground

          Quiet offseason stay

          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.

          Quick Trip

          Came for just one night. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Site wasn’t the easiest to back in. Obviously no sewer hookup which isn’t a huge problem. Hooked up to water and nothing came out. We got here at 9pm and left at 7:15am. Just an inconvenience but other than that it’s a beautiful park

          Great campground! Large sites!

          We stayed on an inner loop and was happy with our site but after scouting other sites, we would definitely go for an outer loop lakeside site next time.  Gravel pads. Bathroom and showers were good.  Quiet, peaceful campground with friendly staff. Enjoy all the lake activities!

          Twin Knobs cozy camping spots

          Good level spots. Quiet the first week of April. Good picnic table and fire pit. Restrooms are not far from any of the site in the loop. Will update after we use the shower house. I thought that we would be able to walk from our location to the camp store. It is possible but not easy. The camp store and laundry were closed March 31, bought firewood at entry for $8 a bundle.

          Lovely RV Spots

          Nice and level paved or primitive with electric for trailers and RVs to camp. We came late at night and were able to easily find a spot and pay in the morning, and the folks in the office were very accommodating. Shore power read as good from our tester. Note there’s no sewer hookup; dump only. Couldn’t ask for more! Plus they have horseback riding same day and pony rides for the kids if you’re interested.

          Easy access for my quick overnight stay

          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.

          Good over all

          Grounds are well keep and clean. Pool is a little dated but still clean and nice kids enjoyed it. Bath house is fine. Sights in loop B are not level we had to put the left side off the concrete and the right side on a level block to get level. Aside from that not to bad. Remember not FHU no sewer at any spot.

          Fantastic NF campground with everything for anyone. Clean bathrooms and showers. Big sites with water in between. Great hiking trails and if you have kayaks or small boats….. looks like you’ve found the place. Oh and this place has good cell service too.

          Great campground for families or groups

          Twin Knobs is a great campground with many different loops of spots, electric and non, and many amenities. Basketball, volleyball, bathrooms, amphitheater, beach, and more. Many sites are either close to the water or a quick walk. You can park your boat in coves and tie off near your site.

          Daniel Boone National Forest White Sulphur Horse Camp

          Nice spot

          We try and use horse camps when traveling in larger groups since they have more space and are not always used. Since we didn’t have horses I can’t speak entirely on the how well the horse amenities are but the place was clean, restroom facilities were stocked with TP. There was slight cell service for Verizon & AT&T, enough for maybe text but not very consistent.

          Great biking

          The horse park has good sites. The inner loops keep you close to the pool, basketball,…. The outer loops have nice backyards. Nice bike riding. You can take a trail all the way to Lexington. They won’t allow you to go the the horse stables while COVID is still around, but there are still plenty of paths. Site 165 was a little out of level from front to back. Camped in a class c (24’).

          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!
