There are large, paved sites surrounded by grass. Lots of kids on the weekend, but quiet during the week except for announcements from the horse park. Really great place to walk the dog. Wi-fi is $10 for 7 days. During the quiet week, showers were too hot. Private pump out service is available. Good over the air TV. This is a pretty park in a pretty area. We originally planned to stay 4 nights, ended up staying 9. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first visit to KHPC. It is a very large park-like CG with huge sites and within walking distance to the Horse Park. There is a good combination of trees and open space giving both sun and shade. Take a tour to the KY Horse Farms --- outstanding! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Spacious lots and very friendly staff. Camp store was well stocked. Of course very convenient to the Horse Park which is good for several hours of family time. Roads and sites were paved which occupied the kids with scooters, bikes, chalk, balls etc.. Just not very many amenities outside of that. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is easily accessible from I-75 (exit 120) and is right next to the Kentucky Horse Park. In fact, you can walk through the back gate and into the horse park facilities, although they do charge a fee for entering at the main entrance. The sites are all paved, although a bit narrow. There is plenty of space between sites. Water and electric is available at the rear of the site. They have a pool, basketball courts, volleyball court but we didn't use them. We felt safe at this park. Wi-Fi is available for a fee of $9.95 whether for a few days or a week. The facilities are clean and well-kept. The staff was friendly. Our fee reflects a 10% discount for age 62+. This is our 4th time to use this campground and would definitely return in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed one night while driving to Florida. Arrived after 9 pm and had no problem checking in, with an "honor" system of placing the fee in an envelop in a mail slot at the office. The sites were large with lots of large trees. A lovely touch was the Christmas light display in the park, which was animated with accompanying music broadcast over a radio station. The bathrooms were convenient and very clean. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I would call this a big rig accessible park, not big rig friendly. As previous posters have described, sites are perpendicular to the road and difficult for a big rig to back into without driving on the grass. Water was off for the winter season but there was potable water available at the dump station. It was a muddy mess when we were here because of all the rain that had occurred before we arrived. Just a note of caution: the holiday light display is accessed through the campground and you may have difficulty getting back to the campground in the evening if you are out later than 5:30 pm. I do not think we will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is close to freeway, so easy to get to. But far enough to be quiet. Checking in at the store is a problem because there is no place to park an RV. Roads and sites are paved, but sites are 90 degrees to road, so you have to drive over grass to get in. I left ruts. Didn't have any problems. The RV park is next to the horse park if want to view some of the events. Power, water, and cell (AT&T) was good, but no sewer, only dump stations. We would stay here again.

Campers Beware! I used to really love this park. I had a bad experience here my last visit. I had some other campers stealing my firewood, very boldly. They came back three times trying to get more. After they were caught in the act the first time. I talked to Horse Park Police about this incident. Officer informed me that crime has risen sharply at this park recently. (break in's , theft) I also had a problem with neighbors being very noisy after quiet time.(11PM) I let go until 12:30 when they showed no sign of stopping the racket before I had it dealt with. Another issue was that the speed limit in this park is ignored by almost everyone. (cars, trucks, golf carts, dirt bikes). Please be careful if you bring children here. It is an accident waiting to happen. I think the issue with this place is the lack of police patrols and non-enforcement of the rules. It's really a shame, it is a nice park. I just don't feel it's safe to camp here anymore. Sorry for the long rant. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I was just passing through and looking for a place to spend the night. As an RV park, this place is average. Pros: the huge number of sites, most back in but some pull through, some shady some sunny, some level some not. Cons: the check in process is odd. You check in at the camp store, but there is really no place to park a big rig and complete the check in process. You have to block the parking lot to park. Once checked in, you're on your own to find your site. I stayed in what they call the "primitive section" which means it has 50 amp electric, but no water hookups. However, there were some water faucets scattered around. There were not really any marked sites, it was more like a big grassy area with trees along the edge. Electric hookups were scattered around and you just pulled up to one, by driving over the grass, stopped and hooked up. Had the ground been soft, it would of been a problem driving across the grass. But it hadn't rained for weeks and the ground was like concrete. For an overnight stopover, its just ok. If you love horses, you'll be in heaven. To me, horses are like cows, they all pretty much look alike and they smell bad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a lovely campground, with large level sites. A large pool and bicycle access to the Kentucky Horse Park site made this park a great destination. We camped during the week and it was quiet, with quite a few empty sites. The weekend was much busier. A great find whether you like horses or not! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The only reason I did not give this park a 10 is because it did not have sewer. We enjoyed the park so much we extended our stay. We watched a horse show in one of the arena's (free) and we walked out to one of the many fields and watched our first polo game (free). The park is very clean with trash pickup every morning. We rode our bikes around this huge park and logged 8 miles before we got back to the coach. Downtown Lexington is about 15-20 minutes away. We had lunch at the Parkette Drive-In after seeing it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. (We write these places down and go looking for them in our travels). We will always stay here when in the area.

Huge and shady back in sites in a park setting close to the Kentucky Horse Park. We used the complimentary shuttle service to the KHP because we have no towing car. It looked as if we were the only ones without a car or golf cart. There was a lot of traffic during day times. Don't know if that is normal. There was a sign that they have a golf cart rally. We liked the golf cart parade on Saturday to celebrate the 4th July. It was a busy holiday weekend and the park was nearly full. You could see it when using the restrooms. Would be a good idea to clean them up a few times more on weekends like this. You have to pay for Wi-Fi ($8 good for 7 days). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the best place to stay if seeing the KY Horse Park. Pros - Amazing sites that are huge and shaded, great pool and recreation areas, super camp store and staff, large and clean bathrooms. You can purchase Horse Park tickets at a discount at the camp store. Cons - lots of scooters and golf carts, no sewer hook ups, terrible laundry facilities, have to pay for Wi-Fi, no cable hook up. I would stay at this place again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Kentucky Horse Park, in our opinion, is an over rated, over priced campground that has not kept up with the more modern campgrounds. The check in people failed to give out the camp wi-fi passwords ( guess because they would then have to hit us up for $9.50 for seven days and because the one we dealt with had an I don't care attitude ), the sites are without sewer connections, the fire pits were filthy ( butts, bottle caps, ashes etc.) , the table at our site was broken and covered with bird droppings and there was NO WARNINGS about the very high water pressure at the sites. We learned this from our fellow campers AFTER they had blown out their water lines in their trailers. Their sites need some tree/branch trimming. We brushed against branches coming into the park. On the plus side there are park events aplenty and it’s too bad that they don’t take care of the little things that would earn them a higher rating. Our 40 foot motorhome barely fit into the assigned site length-wise. One can get a discount to enter and tour the Kentucky Horse Park which is adjacent to the campground. A shuttle or free parking pass is given with purchase of a park entry. Suggest you call to see if you must go to this facility as they frequently have activities and this closes or fills up the campground. Fear not though because there are other campgrounds in the general area that offer sites that equal or exceed our campsite. Our Verizon air card and phone worked well with some interference from the Horse Park not free wi-fi. Yes we would probably visit those “other” campgrounds rather than return to Kentucky Horse Park Campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is for 50 amp electric and water back-in site. Road and pad were asphalt. Large site with plenty of room. Site had fire ring and table. Excellent Verizon cellphone and 3G reception. Numerous trees prevented satellite reception at our site, but there are many open sites in this large RV park if need your satellite. Discounts available for Horse Park next door, and has easy access to the freeway. Great value for the money and we would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is huge and is laid out in two big circles and primitive sites in the grass near the drive in. Friendly check in and very informative. There is a store, tennis court, basketball courts, volleyball, Olympic-size swimming pool and two huge restrooms. It is right next door to the KY Horse Farm which you can buy a ticket for at a discount at the store. We even rode our bikes over to see it as we bought tickets for our second day here. The farm is a working farm with 115 horses, 80 full time workers, 1,224 acres, barns, indoor and outdoor show rings, museums, films and depending when you go horse shows. One need to check out the calendar because many times the campground is full and the horse park closed for some events like the World Championships. Interesting place! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at the Horse Park many times over the past 10 years because our children live in Lexington. It is a very nice campground, with paved roads and shade. The store has necessities and the showers are typically very clean. I checked them out this week and such was the case although I did not use them. We stayed this time in A11 which is on the outside loop. The sites in this area all have a big "backyard" which is nice because we like to frisbee with our dogs. Because the sites are at a 90 degree angle to the road, it is a little difficult to back in, but not impossible if you have someone to help and easier during daylight hours. In the last several years, we have stayed there during every season, during the week and on weekends. I'm guessing the negative comments may have been from visitors that came during the World Equestrian Games or during weekends when there were such events as state high school track meets. Just check the calendar if you like a quieter atmosphere and avoid those dates. This week was very, very quiet and a pleasure to be here. Campground staff is usually college students so they are hit or miss which is different than a privately owned campground where they have a financial stake in being "nice". I usually do not find them unfriendly, just not particularly interested. Luckily maintenance is such that I have had little reason to deal with staff at all because I schedule online. We certainly will be here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice big park with pretty good sites. The staff was uninterested at best, but the garbage was picked up every day and the facilities were clean. People raced through the campground with every kind of vehicle without anyone monitoring speed at all. I was afraid a dog or child would be run over. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had to check in at the camp store (inconveniently located to camp site) with somewhat disinterested staff and given a map with a wave of the young man’s hand to the confusing layout of this campground to indicate site and hunter jumper arena. Asphalt back-in W/E site was level enough in back for us, but could have used more gravel around site to keep down dust. The back in sites are perpendicular to road.
We had no difficulty backing in a 30 footer, but the lady across road from us had huge problems in backing in her very long 5th wheel trailer/horse trailer combo and likely would have hit our toad which was entirely on our site in front of our rig if we had not been here to move it. She took out branches on multiple trees both sides of road in her lengthy battle. Long coaches appeared to require significant leveling in front of sites. Bathhouse could have used better signage to find it, and more access that was not through campsites. The bathhouse could be nice except it was way over-utilized for the cleaning schedule, with lots of hair, discarded shampoo bottles, etc. WiFi would have been very expensive for one day so we did not use. Dump was easy on the way out but I was glad I wasn’t leaving at a peak time (no campsites have sewer). Nice pool area with a lifeguard closes at 8pm. Power went off for about an hour in middle of night. Herds of people including underaged, whizzing about on scooters, motorcycles, and golf carts disregarding the stated 10 mph speed limit and unsafe passing with no enforcement or staff ever in evidence. Other than that, it was a relatively quiet campground with no fly problem at all. Reserve America adds $7.50 reservation fee to otherwise reasonable price. AAA 10% discount. We would probably return to this unique and rather pretty campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park and clean. Has plenty of sites with ample shade trees for summer time camping. Pool is large enough for this campground. My complaint is this campground is not patrolled by the park police at all. We had golf carts running through our site at night as we sat around the fire, Carts without lights on them. Golf carts are running all time of the night with and without lights and they are going pretty fast. If you camp with little kids please pay attention. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground has a very odd entrance where you have to pull completely around the campground store during check in. All sites are back in and there is no place where you can disconnect/reconnect your toad without totally blocking the road. Not ideal for big rigs, but it is workable with some attention. You have to pay for Wi-Fi and although there is no cable TV, we had pretty good reception of a handful of stations from the antenna. This place was jammed on Saturday when we arrived, and dozens of children were absolutely everywhere (frighteningly, they were largely unsupervissed), on bikes and skateboards and people driving ATVs and golf carts constantly through the campground. But at night it was quiet and peaceful and by Sunday night the park had about half emptied out. Design is odd with double concentric loops. Try to get one of the outer loops on its outside, and you will have a nice woodsy view behind you and a quiet site. Strange not to have sewer in a relatively new park, but they do have two dump stations on the way out. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a great find! Beautiful bluegrass Kentucky site with white picket fences, wide sites and paved parking pads. Can't beat this place for twice the money. Would have been a 10 if it had sewer hookups. Stayed here with lots of folks recovering from the heat of The Rally. This is a must-stay if your going to stay in the area.

We LOVED this campground and cannot wait to go back. We were here for a horse show my daughters were participating in, so we didn't have time to do all the extras that we were hoping to, so next year we hope to schedule in a few extra days. The reasons for my 8 rating and not a 10 are the following: 1) There are no sewer hook-ups anywhere in the park. There are at least 2 dump stations, however. I have never been to such a nice, full service campground and not had sewer hook-ups. 2) The bathhouse showers were sooo HOT! The two settings were off and very hot, nothing inbetween. Two of the days we were here it was 100 degrees outside and a hot shower is the very last thing we wanted, so it was very, very frustrating. The bathhouses were clean however, as was every part of the park that we encountered. 3) The map we were given of the horsepark was very confusing and downright inaccurate. The signage on the interior roads is also not very good, so we were driving aimlessly at times looking for a certain event or building. (And my husband is normally a whiz at directions, so this was unusual for us.)Some roads are not meant for motor vehicles, just horses and/or golf carts, which is fine, but we did not feel they were well-marked. Plusses: The pool was clean and even had a lifeguard; the attractions we did see were very good and well-run; and it just gorgeous in general. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Good signs to find the campground and store for registration. Far from the road so no road noise, although can be camper noise and campfire smoke when busy. Paved roads and well spaced sites with lots of grass and trees and a picnic table. Good voltage and water pressure, there are dump stations on the park entrance road. Some sites open enough for satellite TV. Verizon air card works OK. They made no effort to level the sites before paving so some sites on the slope of a hill can be very hard to level the RV. This is a good place to stay when visiting the KY Horse Park next door, which is well worth visiting. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Been here several times and still enjoy it just like the first time. Easy access to I-75 and I-64. Large sites in width but not depth in most sites. A 40ft MH is close to the limit although I have seen 43ft in some sites. Plenty of campfires and smoke on weekends. Pay Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is hard to believe that a more beautiful park exists. Abundant grass, trees galore and a very friendly staff. The roads are paved as are the pads but both are very narrow. We highly recommend this park and can't wait to return. OK, why didn't we rate it as a 10? Several small negatives equal 1 point. The roads are narrow and you might have a problem backing in (only back in sites, but they are 50' wide) if the park were full. The trees are a blessing and a curse. With no cable, you need to be able to use your dish or dome and many of the sites have too many trees for either a dish or dome. The wi-fi really irked me. It is there. It has a great signal. But you have to pay to use it after the first 15 minutes and the cost seemed a bit high. The first spot we tried was blocked by trees and we could not back all the way in due to the trees. But these negatives require only that you make sure you make a quick trip in your toad to make sure the site is OK for you. We can't wait to come back. The surrounding area is really beautiful. Don't miss this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We literally picked the worst site there was as far as grade. Having never been here before, we picked one for location. The next day we walked the whole campground and found there was only 7-8 sites that you'll need extra cribbing for. This campground was great! Pool is in loops A-B, playground in loopes C-D. It's quiet after 9pm. Restrooms/showers are cleaned daily @10am. The staff was wonderful. Store had a bit of everything, including moderately priced souveniers. Will definitely be back!!

There is good signage on the highway directing you to this park. This is a clean park with amazing large sites. It's a great place for groups and families as the basketball courts and playground areas are well lit for evening play. The only reason we did not rate this a 10 is because they do not have full hook ups available. However, the dump station is clean, convenient and easy to use.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 TV 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. It isn't called “The Horse Capital of the World" for nothing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 agree with these other posts, this is a very nice and well maintained park. 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.

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!

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 accommodate big rigs. This will include trimming the beautiful shade trees. It appears this may happen before the world show is here 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 Wi-Fi. 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 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 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.

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.

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 definitely 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
