We stayed here 5 nights starting 10/30/09. The sites were mostly level with mature trees an well-maintained grounds. The restrooms were very clean and the showers were also clean. The only negative about the showers is that you can't adjust the water temperature but it was normally warm (though sometimes too hot for a few minutes initially). We stayed at site #171 which is bordered by an access road back to the Horse Park which meant there was traffic next to us but not enough to disturb us. It was a quiet, family oriented park, probably one of the nicest we camped at this year. The camp store had a wide variety of supplies but you are not far from Lexington or Georgetown for anything you may need. We found this campground to be a great home base for visiting Lexington and the Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge (about an hour drive from campground). We will definitely stay here in the future. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We always stay at this park when traveling through the area. There is some construction going on throughout the park to prepare for the 2010 FEI Equestrian Games. Our tip for staying here is to call the campground directly to help you choose a site as a few would be difficult to level your motorhome or could be a bit tight for parking. But, for the most part, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a suitable site. All the sites are spacious and most are shaded. We have no trouble staying here in a 45 footer. Remember, dump your tanks on the way into the campground as there is no sewer connection at your site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I called on 8-22-2009 and was told there were primitive electric sites available. The young girl checked and said there would be no reason to make a reservation. When I arrived the next day before noon I was told there was a dog show and the only sites available were in a field without electricity. I have been in over 300 campgrounds and this is the first time I have ever had this happen. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were presently surprised with this CG. We found so many families playing together and having so much fun. Memories were surely being created. In fact one group set up what looked like a beach setting around their campers with activities for the children related to being at the beach. You could hear children having a blast with the adults. The swimming pool was outstanding. This pool even has lifeguards. The CG is set far enough from I-75 that all you could hear at night was nature. They have set up the sites allowing much space between each site and grassy areas behind. Only draw back: the sites are not set at an angle therefore creating a tough time to back in. They have no pull through sites. Also, the sites do not have sewer hookups but they do have four dump stations. In talking to campers, the lack of sewers is something the state should investigate installing. Most sites were level but some very out of level and many are occupied by horse personnel. For this year, be aware much construction going on due to the World Equestrian event next year. Roads are being updated and the Horse Park itself is being renovated so construction shortcuts are necessary. We will certainly return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an excellent campground in a great location. Several problems prevented its getting a higher rating. Wi-Fi was extremely expensive. $4.95 for 2 hours. $10 for 1 day. $25 for a week and $50 for a month. This was highway robbery to me. There were also about a hundred gnats in the shower. It is wooded and very well maintained. Nice pool and restrooms. No on-site sewer hookups. Family campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely gorgeous campground! Trees at almost every site. Huge pool. Nice clean bathrooms. Be aware there are NO full hookups -- only water/electric, but there are central sewer dumps at the park. It appears that most who stay here are connected to the Horse Park next door -- lots of golf carts at the campground. We only stayed one night but I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our favorite campground and this is the 4th year we've camped here. Large sites, nicely paved, lots to do, lots of room to move around. Very large sites, large clean pool, easy access for all size rigs. Lots of construction in the Horse Park this year due to the World Equestrian Games next year, so navigating the park is a bit trickier. We will likely be back again next year.

After reading the first two reviews above I must admit that this park does have a lot to offer. I found nothing wrong with either one. That's the up-side. Now for the down-side. The cost of using the washing machines in the laundry is $2.00 per load. The cost of user time on the extremely slow WI-FI system is $50.00/mo.,$25.00/wk., $15.00/day, & for $4.95 you can have it for 2 hours. These are undoubtedly the most expensive rates that I have ever run into in fifteen years of full timing. However I've got to admit that WI-FI hasn't been around all that time. The park is nice but with the rates that are charged for amenities here I don't think I'll be giving it my business in the near future. Maybe the rates are so high because there isn't any competition around . At least none that I've been able to come up with. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here perhaps 15 years ago, and the upgrades to both the Horse Park and the campground are great! Like the others, I'd give a 10 (or at least a 9.5) if sewer hookups were available. Very nice clean park, friendly staff, spacious sites. Current construction (which should be completed by fall 2010) means lots of construction trucks driving thru the campground, signs being moved or obscured, etc. Temporary inconvenience. For a busy park (it's even nearly full during midweek) they keep the facilities quite clean. Security patrols day & night. Great place, family-friendly. One downside: the on site Wi-Fi is expensive ($5/day extra) and impossible to use without an active PayPal account. The office Wi-Fi connection is fast & free, but you have to limit your time if others are waiting to use it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

What a nice surprise. Would give this a 10 if they had sewer hookups. Dump stations were easily accessed from either direction. Spacious shaded sites and friendly staff. Store open late - what a concept. Everything from tents to luxury motorhomes. Kids walk and bike through your site. Pool was crowded but seemed to be clean. Signage when you enter does not tell you where to pull in for registering and unhooking tow vehicles. Registration area can get congested. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour to the nearby horse farms set up by the Visitor Center. We will be back and will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If they had sewer it would get a 10. Very big sites. It was over 30 feet between my unit and my neighbors and there was no one behind us. They have a nice store, pool, lots of places to ride bikes. You get a discount if you want to visit the horse park which is next door. They even have a free shuttle. Lots of families camp here and the kids seem to have a great time. Had no trouble getting my 35 foot motor home in our site. It was paved and not too level, but not unreasonable. Would camp here again in a minute. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed two nights at this campground. The sites are very big, but it would make backing in easier if they were at an angle. Lots of campers and it was a hot weekend with only one pool. The campground was very clean and quiet. If you are not that interested in horses, there is still plenty of other things to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Still a great campground but evidently someone else is running the park. The rules have become very lax and people are very disrespectful to the campground. There was one site that had two campers and 3 tents on one site. Not a very good for the people around them. Rules are needed for a reason and the people riding around checking should be enforcing them for everyone's sake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of the nicest campgrounds we ever stayed in. Camped in the primitive area - no hookups. It is a big grassy area. Very beautiful. Visiting the horse park is easy from here. When camped here you get a discount to the park and free parking. I would recommend camping here even if you don't visit the horse park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Kentucky Horse Park Campground will spoil you. The grounds are clean, the sites are spacious, the showers are in great conditions, the camp store is well stocked, and the pool is nice but average. Often there is free entertainment on the grounds but other than riding bikes around the grounds, there is not much to do in my opinion. I live in central Kentucky and am not a big horse fan, so we just sit around and relax all weekend watching our 5 year old enjoy the park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Super campground, great playground for the kids. We camped at one of the sites in the same loop as the playground, which was nice because we could still keep and eye on the kids from our camper. The shade trees are great, will definetly go back. Large swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball court and great for bike riding. The kids love going to the Horsepark next door too.

A wonderful place to camp except for one issue: many sites are not level and it would be impossible to level a motorhome on a few of them. We'd recommend staying here but don't make a reservation unless you know which sites will work for you. The restrooms and showers were simply spotless. The on-site store is convenient and well stocked. The staff was friendly and helpful. The park fills up and is very busy on weekends. We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice WIDE sites, pleanty of room for slides .. Friendly staff in Registration/Camp Store. Park has no sewer hookups, but landscaping, asphalt sites, asphalt roads, and the ease of getting in and out makes one glad to be here. We arrived in the middle of a thunderstorm, and so the grassy area around our site was wet. Mature trees, and lots of places for walks. We are in the non-premium sites section which are very nice. We have 30 amp plus water and water pressure is good. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground has to be the cleanest campground we have ever stayed in. Grounds were very well maintained, beautiful campsites, super friendly staff, campground police, bathhouses were very clean with plenty of hot water!!! Just an A+ all around. The price was good, and the only reason Im not giving it a 10, is there are some sites that are not very level. This could pose a problem for some campers. But we loved it and probably will stay here again in the future!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground was wonderful. Bathrooms were extremely clean. Staff cleaned the restrooms several times during the day while we were there. Campground store had all the little things you would need. Plenty of space in between campsites. There was more than enough grass around camp for children or small pets to run and play. Very family friendly. We did not encounter any loud or rowdy campers. The pool looked very nice, although it was closed during our visit. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We have stayed at this park many times since it is close to our families. We like the park but it caters to the horse people more so than the average camper. If you make a reservation on-line, there is a charge of $7.50 just to make a reservation that is not reimbursable. What a shock! We stayed there around Thanksgiving week. We checked in but were not told that the water was turned off for the winter. After we got our rig in our spot, we found out that the water was shut off. It would have been nice if we were told this at check-in rather than getting to our lot and then finding out that we had to go to a certain place to fill our fresh water tank. We will stay here again since the Lexington, Kentucky area is very limited on Recreational Parks for people to camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A Comfortable park. The horse park is great entertainment and close to other entertainment and tours in Lexington. We would have rated it higher except for slope to site making leveling difficult and the showers need modernization. Staff was very helpful and we would return. Be prepared for slope to sites.

Beautiful setting with wide open spaces. If a group get together is what you want, this is the place. If you’d rather relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings by yourself this is still the place. Having only Water and Electric hookups is a small inconvenience for the benefits of this beautiful setting. Tack on the expensive Wi-Fi and a lack of cable and a long stay might be out of the question. But, do not leave without taking either a paid or self-guided tour of the area. (www.visitlex.com/quick/tours) It isn't called “The Horse Capital of the World" for nothing. (800) 678-8813 We camped here in a Motorhome.

We got the senior rate for 1 week so the price was VERY reasonable. It is a very clean, pleasant, park. There are lots of trees so satellite TV is iffy, but, there is so much going on that you won't spend much time in your RV anyway. The horse park itself is very convenient and there are always activities going on there. The utilities hookups are easily accessible, and the roads in the park are easy to navigate.

We stayed here two nights in the middle of the week. The only thing lacking in this park is a sewer hook up. This is a beautiful campground with exceptionally friendly employees. The store is well stocked with lots of fun items as well as necessities. Lovely pool and playground. Extremely pet friendly park. There was an AKC dog show being set up on the grounds while we were there. One of our neighbors had no less than eight dogs in his fifth wheel. Well behaved, I might add. Plenty of room for dogs to walk around behind our site #156. Nice park next to the Horse Park, perfect for animal lovers of all kinds! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great site but it could be improved: Concrete pads could be extended (even stones would do) because after rain the grass turns to mud. There were clean restrooms and showers. Office should have overall site map available that shows all the attractions in the Horse Farm. Local towns do not have a good choice of eating places. We stayed for two nights with class C motorhome with toad. Good price but would pay more for extended pad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the prettiest campgrounds we have stayed in. Campground was completely full, but did not "feel" that way. Staff and campers were very friendly. Our site, #164, was very nice. Lot's of room between sites, and about 50 yards of open space behind us to a fence. Looking that way was a gorgeous view of the horse park. They have shuttles that run between the campground and the horse park. Pool was one of the nicest and cleanest we have seen at a campground. Would be a 10 if they had sewer hookup. They do have 4 dump sites though. Also, was not able to get on WiFi, but did not need it, so I did not try any further. Wife and I stayed for 2 days. Will be taking our kids back there in the fall.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. The sites are spacious with lots of grass for games. The swimming pool is large and has life guards on duty. The shower house is clean, but the space is somewhat limited as there is one bathroom/shower house for each side of the very large campground. The only issue we had here was the lack of camping etiquette from others staying at the campground. There seems to be no concern about cutting through campsites to get to your destination without thinking twice about it. We even had people on golf carts cutting through the grass/campsite. I would go back again because the positives far outweigh the negatives. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

All sites we saw were not level. Front tires would have to be off the ground to level the motorhome properly. Staff when we arrived were less than friendly and didn't have answers to our questions. We asked how to get to the park and were told it is a 3/4 mile walk. Next morning's staff were friendly and did inform us that they have a shuttle (golf cart) to and from the park, which was very nice. Laundry rooms had broken washers and dryers so you had to get there quick. The grounds were nice and the spots had a lot of room between them and gave some privacy. Store was OK. Nice place to stay if you want to visit the park but other than that we wouldn't stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the closest park to Lexington if you are visiting. The sites are very grassy and level. The park was extremely crowded when we were there and kids, swimming, basketball, modpes, and bike riding was in full gear. The overflow area had many campers and the dump stations were quite crowded as we left on a Sunday. The campground was too active for us. We would have preferred a quieter setting. The sites are very large and set up for larger rigs. The roads are paved and very flat. The park is quite close restaurants and other attractions. We would stay there again but would pick a less busy time of year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped in 45 foot motor home. Site 43 on Loop A. This was clear of trees and the paved, back-in pad had slope to the front. Horse Park is always a busy place. We had no reservations, but spent one night mid-week. Horse Park is always worth a stop when passing through Lexington. Dump station is easy to use. Entry on Campground Road is paved. Do not stop at empty entry station. Proceed into campground to the loops area. Campground office is on the right. If you have a large rig, you might consider unhooking tow vehicle along the entry road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very pretty park. Reservations through Reserve America. If you can't find a site the first time, keep checking. Availability changes quickly. Nice sites and enough room between them. Ours had a fire pit and picnic table. The pad is blacktop but kind of narrow. The staff is very friendly and efficient. There is not a good place to stop with a motorhome and tow vehicle to check in. We were blocking parking spaces for cars. There is no sewer, as already stated, but there are two dump stations and 4 can dump at a time. Wi Fi was the most expensive we have encountered in over 25 parks in the last two months. $2.45 for 2 consecutive hours, $15/day, $50/month. It is not a reliable signal for that price. You can take you laptop to the office, but it is a dial up connection. They do not enforce a speed limit. Golf carts, cars, and kids on bikes all go very fast. It could be dangerous. There is a shuttle (golf carts) to take you to the horse park and pick you up so you don't need to drive. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I would like to see sewer hookups, but for a few days we can manage and longer stays there is a truck that goes around that will dump your tanks. They now have WI-Fi available. The cost makes it unrealistic, $14.95 per day or $50.00 a month and the signal is very poor. The site we had we couldn't even get their 15 minutes free, unless we drove to the office parking lot. But at that price I wouldn't use the service. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park. There are a lot of sites, and when full would seem crowded; we were there mid week, and it felt very roomy. All the sites are grassy with a paved back-in driveway with the utilities very convenient at the rear of the site. There were no pedestrian paths to the restrooms, which we thought very odd--one has to walk in the street or cut through campsites. The "Horse Park" is worth the tour (campers get free parking and a discounted admission) and a drive around the nearby blue grass horse farms and distilleries is well worth the price of gas! We would stay here again if we were in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is beautiful. Sites are roomy, but some are uneven. There is a sewer dump service that drives around every day if you need your tanks dumped. We were there during the Rolex 3 day event for the horse park and it filled up quickly. If you like horses, this is the place to camp. You can walk to the back entrance of the Kentucky Horse Park. Strongly recommend. 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Close to a number of other attractions such as the restored Shaker Village and horse farm tours. Beautiful drives, views in area.

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.
