Great park..LOTS to do. Very nice store, laundry, and pool. Friendly staff. shuttle available from store to Horse Park. Basketball courts, tennis courts....horse shoes, Just a wonderful place with plenty of room. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is beautiful with all the horses around. Sites are large and were easy for us to navigate. All are back in. The pool and tennis courts are a plus. They have a Christmas light tour starting in November which is fun. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Large, grassy sites. Lots of trees but many sites are open for satellite reception. We didn't have a reservation and were lucky to get a site as the park was nearly full. Interior roads are paved and easy to navigate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Continues to be one of our favorite stops. Lots of space between sites where children can play. Would be a ten if there were sewer hookups instead of just dump stations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
In general a nice place. You get a different crowd of campers at the horse park (people who are there to ride horses.. not necessarily campers). Site was not level and no sewers is a pain but dump stations are easily accessed. Swimming pool is great and lots of lifegaurds. Major problem is that you need a ride to the horse park and the shuttle only runs at 8:45am and 12:30. Any other time means you need to unhook and drive your rig. This policy needs to be updated! Shuttles should run all the time. Horse park itself is awesome. Someone took our table cloth and door mat during the day so be careful and put your stuff away! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park with easy to maneuver roads. The sites are all pretty level. There is a great pool and plenty of things to do for the kids. We have been there for Bluegrass Games the past two summers and it does get pretty crowded and overrun with kids during that weekend. If you're there to enjoy a peaceful weekend, I wouldn't recommend this campground when the Bluegrass games are going on. Full hook up sites would be a wonderful addition. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A nice park over all. The kids enjoyed the pool, which was staffed with lifeguards. The sites were decently sized, and included a picnic table, fire ring, and curb-side trash disposal & pick-up. We used the free shuttle to go from the campground to the Horse Park. Bath Houses appeared to be clean, which is impressive considering the number of people at the campground. We would love to see sewer hook-ups added. Some sites do have trees low enough and close enough to prevent the opening of awnings or slide-outs. Overall, it was a good trip and a pleasant experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have visited this park since 1981. Excellent playground for children of all ages. Well designed for many sites to back in close to the playground. Campground is thirty years old and is time for major upgrades to accomodate big rigs. This will include trimming the beautiful shade trees. It appears this may happen before the world show is there in 2010 as KY is putting in millions of dollars for increased lodging at or near the park. The present sites may get new buildings, sewer and WiFi. I understand there will be 300 additional camp sites added, somewhere near the entrance. A great park for young children. I have never been to a Jellystone that compares to the KHP. On line registering is so simple a cave man could do it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really debated the rating for this campground. The facility itself is well laid out, very attractive, and while it lacks full hook-ups there is good dump access and a mobile service that drives around daily which will pump your tanks for a fixed fee. It's a nice campground to walk in most of the time. The downsides are pretty grubby showers and limited, broken laundry equipment. The biggest problem is that camp hosts do not enforce the rules needed to make this a pleasant stay for everyone, at least when there is horse show going on at the adjacent Horse Park. Pets are allowed to wander loose, multiple camping units are allowed on a single site. The grass is overrun with extra vehicles. We have seen gray valves left open while multiple people visit a trailer to shower, etc. Golf carts and trucks zip by exceeding the speed limit. When there isn't a show, this is once of the nicest campgrounds we've stayed at, so we recommend checking the event calendar for the Horse Park and trying to camp here when there isn't an event going on at that facility. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice clean park conveniently located off the interstate.The only 2 things missing were sewers and Wi-Fi,that would make it a 10.Lots of activities for children and a nice pool.Would return here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Paved sites with lots of grass areas and trees separating sites. Pool was not open in May. One Internet cable available in the office. Access to the Horse park is a bonus. Very few signs or rules beginning with "Do Not/NO." We use this campground whenever we are in the area! Weekends can be difficult to get in when these is something going on at the horse park (most of the time!) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park with helpful staff. It is an excellent park for family camping. Very quiet when I was there. Swimming pool was not available and was missed with 90 degree weather. Horse park a nice morning or afternoon visit for family and kids. This would be a 10 park if they had sewer hook up. They give senior discount. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park. Facilities are first rate but would be rated better if they had sewers and wi-fi. My only complaint is that there are very few sites that are level enough so that you don't have tires off the ground after you are leveled up. For the beautiful terrain they have there, they could have leveled their pads better. If that is important to you, get there early We camped here in a Motorhome.
November weekday, we had our choice of spots. The friendly staff had us pay for a site, then just drive around and "pick an empty one". Park was nearly empty, we drove around twice looking for "the perfect one". They're all good, though; huge sites, we felt like we had our own back yard. Still no wifi or sewer hookups, and only 3 washing machines for the 130 or so sites available off-season. Overall a great campground. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Most everything has already been said. I would strongly urge people to get reservations. This is a very nice campground and there aren't many other choices for the area. Though it's large, all of the sites are usually taken! The weekend we were there, a Track and Field tournament was held on the grounds. Thousands of spectators and contestants, yet the campground and bath houses remained clean! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has two dump stations. Lots of room between camp sites. Would return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is excellent. I don't know of a bad site on the property. The pool is great and the staff are friendly and helpful. The store is well-stocked and the laundry and restrooms are clean. There is so much to do and see in the area. Most sites are level and have depth to accommodate a large motorhome. Plenty of grass on each site and room between campers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Real nice park. We have stayed there several times. It would be nice if there were sewer hook ups. I understand wifi is coming soon. Camp store was well stocked. The staff was very helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
There is not much I can add that others have not already covered. I stayed on pad 135. When backed in the rear of the coach was pointing directly south with no trees. So I was able to get DirecTV. The pads are paved but very narrow. The coach just barely fits. I had to drive onto the grass to get into the site - left some big muddy scars. And there was little room to park the car. I arrived after a good rain - thus there was a lot of mud about. It is reported that they will have Wi-Fi later this year. People in the office [all young men] were very helpful. I tried to make a reservation today for today - no go - they need 2 days lead time. I would rate the park higher if it had sewer connections and wider pads. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camp here every year in June when we attend A Helping Hand Adoption Agency's yearly picnic and the children love it here. It is their favorite campground that we have been to. There is a lot of shade and trees, level sites, activities, trash pick-up daily, and the bathrooms are relatively clean. Lots of friendly campers and the staff is nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
All roads are blacktop. Sites are 45 feet long blacktop close to level with 20/30/50 amp power & water. Two large dump stations, no sewer on any sites. Very nice pool, tennis courts, playground, volleyball & basketball courts. Lots of open space from site to site with nice grounds. Lots of nice trees in park. Campground has good stock of items and data port to check e-mail. You can now use "Reserve America" or call 888-459-7275 to hold a site. Price was $27.00 per night and seniors get it for $22.00. Horse park next door to RV park will take a day to tour if you like horses. Very nice park to visit. Park covers 1000 acres of land. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for the Rolex 3 day event. I would give it a 10 if it had sewer hook ups. Well laid out campground very convenient to Lexington, Frankfort and Central Kentucky. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
My first impression of the campground wasn't great. The campground has all back-in sites laid out like dominoes. Actually that layout works pretty well. The campground sites are pretty roomy and the outer ring sites have greenspace to play frisbee, football etc. We found the bath house to be very clean and the staff helpful. We happened to be there during some severe weather and the park ranger announced on his patrol car PA that severe weather was imminent and to seek shelter in the bath house. After the storm was over, the office checked on all of us to make sure we and our campsites were okay. I would recomend this campground to anyone and especially if you have kids. We will definately go back again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Plenty of space between sites. Everything in excellent shape. Very enjoyable stay. They also offer an electricity-only option in their overflow lot if the main campground is full. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The horsepark is a well maintaned campground and is close to the heart of downtown Lexington however the biggest problem is with the large events that take place at the Horsepark they sometimes reserve the whole campground and the general public is not allowed and this is not posted. The Horsepark needs to provide camping areas for those involved in the events and leave the public campgrounds open. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed on site #138 on Loop C with 45 foot motorhome. Some Overflow/Primitive camping available. Great park with easy access to Horse Park. Toyota assembly plant with tours located few miles north of RV park on I-75. 4089 Iron Works Parkway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park in some beautiful country. Staff were continually working to keep park nice. Just drive in, pick a site and go to capmground store to register. Senior discount for those 62 and above. The only reason it's not a 10 park is a lack of sewer hook-up. They do have 2 large dump sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A beautiful park that we stay at a couple of times a year. It is well maintained, staff is friendly & helpful, quiet & clean. No sewer hook ups at sites but 2 dump stations as you exit. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We agree with the other reviews and have stopped here often. Easy access from I-75. Sites
are blacktopped but only big complaint is that nearly all sites are not level either side to side or front to back. Very roomy sites. Discounts for senior citizens and off season. Open year round We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park. Lots to do inside the CG and everything is maintained. Close to not only
Lexington, but also Georgetown and Northern KY/Cincinnati. No reservations, so if you want a weekend spot you need to come Thursday night or early Friday.
We'll be back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We love the Kentucky Horse Park, but we will avoid weekends from now on. Not because of the park but because it becomes rowdy, noisy and full to the brim with adults and kids racing motorized scooter, ATV's, and golf carts without regard to their
surroundings. This is becoming an increasing problem at lots of campgrounds and we are sorry to see it here. People don't equate recreating with physical activity anymore, they want to be carried everywhere by wheels. Lot of plump kids and grown ups on those scooters and ATV's. We camp with our dog but he's not allowed to run loose. Unfortunately on the weekend this increased quite a bit due to an increase in weekend warriors without regard for anyone but their own good time. When we were here 2 years ago their was more apparent campground supervision and surveillance by employees. This time it seems as if they have shaved employees to office staff and groundskeepers only. Contrary to a previous post there are no plans to add sewer at the site. It's still a beautiful and spacious campground. Will definitely stay again Sun-Thursday but will think twice about weekends. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice friendly staff. Park is secure; KY state park security patrolling the area, good to
see security being new RV'ers. Stayed one night on Feb 21st, 2004. Would recommend and will stay there again. I chose this RV site based on its prior reviews from this site, thanks! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Everything that others have said about this campground is true. Great sites, beautiful country side, level sites, nice pool. But the rest rooms are terrible. They clean the sinks and toilets but do nothing to the showers. The shower curtains are white and fully covered with black mold. Terrible dirty. If they would just clean the bathrooms this campground would be a 10+++. The young kids that work in the office are rude and snotty. Be sure to visit this area and by all means stay at this campground but be prepared for the dirty showers. Yuck!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very well landscaped & maintained. Adjoins Ky Horse Park which is dedicated to entertaining and educating about horses.($10 admission/adults to CG folks)-Great place even if you are "not into horses". Close to a number of other attractions such as the restored Shaker Village and horse farm tours. Beautiful drives, views in area. They are to add sewer sites when that is done, it will be darn near perfect! We camped here in a camper.

Beautiful surroundings adjacent to the Kentucky Horse Park educational center. Large separation between sites, great pool, paved roads and sites. Dump available. Went on weekdays without reservation but often hosting events on weekends so more difficult to get a site. You choose site and then go to office and sign in. We camped here in a camper.
