Kentucky Horse Park Campground

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.

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

Very clean. Really pretty. Felt a little out of place only bc I had an older camper.

Love this campground. It is definitely one of our top spots. Reasonable price, lots of trees for shade, amenities are great - pool, playground, you can rent a golf cart if you want, you can visit the horse park and explore on the golf cart

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

Campground full. But still quiet group of people. Sites are not as spacious as most state parks but access to the horse park is fantastic.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Rain will flood selected sites

Park is extremely nice has lots of amenities! Wi-Fi is kind of spotty and no sewage hook up on site. Other than that would definitely stay here again very nice clean park.

Quiet family friendly RV campground with plenty of room. Reasonably priced.

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!

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

First time visiting and enjoyed our stay. The park is very busy but fairly quiet for having over 200 sites.  our site was level and not muddy but after some heavy rains the "B loop" had some mud and standing water problems. over all it was a good area to stay and the Horse park is a must see when you are in the area.

This is one of our favorite places. Huge sites, not full hook up but easy to dump on the way out. Large trees, good shade. Stay on the outer ring and you can watch the horses throughout the day. Very easy to get to and Lexington is just minutes away.

Only negative is no pull throughs and if other campers have extra cars on their sites it can be a bit tight to get parked.

We have stayed at this campground several times over a few year time span. It is close to us, so convenient. We were really excited over this campground initially but that has lessened over the past couple of years. They allow campers to parks numerous vehicles in the grass between camp sites and behind campers which has caused huge ruts and made a muddy mess out of sites. Golf carts (battery and gas powered)are out of hand as well as kids on those boards that are about 6” off the ground. If they would just either have rules or enforce the ones they have it would greatly improve things. Sites have not been maintained, needs mowing, fire rings are damaged, muddy at sites etc.

We stayed in the A loop first night. Sites are roomy and level. Perfect. Next we stayed in the B loop much smaller. Otherwise we’ll kept grounds. Would recommend

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 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.

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!

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.

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

It was a bit crowded, but the people were very nice, facilities were clean. The pool is closed for COVID, and they enforce masking in the office. The lots are very flat and parking is easy. The horse park is right next door, and you can enter for a fee. Lots of people were playing guitars by the campfires and singing. It had a very nice, relaxing vibe.

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.

No sewer or cable. Enjoy staying there and the place is very nice.

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.
