Come out, relax and enjoy the complete resort atmosphere of the Kentucky Horse Park Campground!
A full service facility, our campground has many extras for your comfort including a grocery store/gift shop and two bathhouses with modern conveniences. During your stay, be sure to take advantage of our tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, cool off in our junior Olympic-size swimming pool and participate in our planned activities.
For those seeking to stretch their legs a little more, venture out on the Legacy Trail, a 12-mile-long (8.5 miles is currently finished) paved walking and biking trail leading from the Kentucky Horse Park Campground to downtown Lexington.
Campers may also visit the world famous Kentucky Horse Park at a discounted rate and receive free parking with the purchase of their admission tickets when purchased at the Campground Store.
The Kentucky Horse Park Campground is located approximately 4 miles north of Lexington's New Circle Road and 9 miles from downtown Lexington, and 3 miles south of Georgetown on Iron Works Pike, at I-75, exit 120. The campground's entrance is just east of the main entrance to the Kentucky Horse Park.

A really nice camping experience. We were tent camping among the giant RVs and you're pretty densely packed in, but it's still pretty quiet and peaceful. The kids enjoyed the playground until after 22:00, no loud music or drunken partying even on a Saturday night like you get in some places in Kentucky (I'm looking at you Zilpo Beach).
Excellent! Educational, informative and entertaining. Had a delightful time on a beautiful fall day with no crowd. All the staff were full of information about the park, activities and the horses. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Need more time to cover it all. Will be back.
Fairly large campground arranged in side by side concentric ovals. The asphalt pad is barely wider than an RV. Some sites are shadier than others, some have shade except for late afternoon and you have to move around to avoid sun. Sites next to the main Access road will see a lot of traffic, and sites near the playground and tennis courts could be noisier than other sites.
Easy access to Lexington and surrounding areas, and you get a discount to visit the adjacent Kentucky Horse Park.
For some reason the women's bathroom was closed to cleaning every morning at 8AM.
Friendly camp host during our stay.
We have come to the Southern Lights every year for 20 years. Was always my favorite family activity. This year was so disappointing. Price goes up and activities go down. The train display has shrunk, the lights are old, and the vendors are gone. Every year I would get my kids a personalized ornament that tradition is gone.
Idk how much longer this display can maintain and that is sad.
