Kentucky Horse Park Campground, Lexington, Kentucky

You’re probably familiar with the Kentucky Horse Derby. But did you know you can camp in this area as well? The campground offers two bathhouses, an Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts,  and a grocery store and gift shop. Hiking and biking are also options for campers, and of course, we can’t forget about the horses.

Throughout the season, visitors can enjoy live equine demonstrations, including the Hall of Champions Show, Parade of Breeds, and the Big Barn Stall-Side Chat.

Besides horseback riding and pony rides, you can walk through the International Museum of the Horse (IMH),  a Smithsonian Affiliate! Here you’ll find the roles of horses throughout history. In addition to the featured exhibits, you can explore a collection of equine art from artists worldwide.
