There are also several trails including the short Buffalo Trace trail. Lots of history amid a beautiful setting. We hiked a couple of trails and visited the museum. The museum covers a wide range of history of the area- from fossils to mastodon tusks to Native American artifacts and pioneer life. There is no entrance fee for the park, but there was a small Museum fee- which was definitely worth it.

We recently returned to the Kentucky Horse Park Campground after being away for several years…read more We've been camping here for decades, and it has always been one of our favorite destinations. We did make one trip shortly after COVID, and now, in July 2026, we're back again. While it remains a very nice campground, it seems that some areas of the grounds could benefit from a bit more attention to match the high standard we've appreciated in the past. The lawn maintenance, for example, could use some additional care. Grass and weeds are growing around trees, electrical pedestals, and water hookups that would benefit from more regular trimming. The playground area also has grass and weeds coming through spaces that are typically mulched, and the surrounding landscape timbers appear seriously ready for some upkeep. The children's pool was closed during our visit, and it would be helpful for guests to have some indication of when it might reopen. In addition, the front office staff seemed a bit reserved during our interactions. We understand that everyone has busy or challenging days, but a warm greeting and friendly demeanor can make a big difference in helping guests feel welcome. One long-standing issue is the presence of mud ruts at many campsite entrances. The paved aprons are relatively short, and because horse trailers have axles positioned farther to the rear than most RVs, they require a wider turning radius when backing into sites. Over time, this has led to deeper mud ruts in some areas. Adding and compacting additional gravel or a suitable base material could be a helpful way to improve these entrances. Please take these comments in the spirit intended. We continue to enjoy staying here and look forward to returning in the future. We simply hope to see this wonderful campground receive the extra care that has made it stand out for so many years. The Kentucky Horse Park itself remains beautiful and well worth visiting--the campground would benefit from a little added attention to bring it fully back to the level we've always appreciated.

It runs in between the the old courthouse build (which is now the Lexington History Museum), Cheapside Bar and Grill and a row of other bars that come alive on the weekends. It is on the Main Street block between Upper Street and Mill Street. There really isn't much to it, unless you're attending a special event, TNL or the Farmer's Market. You can rent it out for your special event, but I'm sure that it's not very private and the cost is outrageous.

It is next door to Rupp Arena and sits at the intersection of three streets, which meet to form a triangle....somewhat. One leg of the triangle has rows of fountains, which shoot water into the air much like the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas. Though, the Triangle Park fountains are not nearly as large or impressive, they are still really nice. The water cascades down 10-11 steps that actually face Rupp Arena and it all makes a festive display at night when the fountain is alight. The Park contains plenty of semi-mature trees that give lots of shade for the numerous tables and chairs there on brick/concrete patches. Even though there is concrete, skating (along with a list of other activities stated on a sign) is not allowed in the park. When I visited this park in mid-September, there was a food truck selling its wares; though, I do not know if it is available year-round. Overall, this cozy park is a nice addition to a downtown are that is very walkable.

We stumbled on Three Springs and it will be our permanent go to place for our NC trips or even a long weekend. Close to the highway, easy to find, but nestled back far enough to feel secluded, this was a perfect location. The owner was amazing! She allowed us to have a late check in (and even later than we had discussed when we ran into traffic), the facilities were extremely clean and well kept. Although we came in the off season, she still told us where some of the cool historical sites were, and told us we were free to explore and enjoy all 100 plus acres. When a windstorm hit two days before our stay, she called us personally to tell us of the tree "damage",which was only that the cabin didn't have electricity, something we didn't mind at all, and she offered us several other options. Being outdoorsie we had no problem going without electricity, in fact, probably preferred it. Our dogs were allowed, which was a must for us, we paid a reasonable and refundable deposit, and they are very much animal lovers. I could go on, but long story short, we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. My husband found Three Springs at my request to locate a place for us to camp that night, and needless to say he is quite pleased with himself.

This place could be a real gem. But it is a dump. The ads say 50 amp service at all sites...Not…read moreTrue. We had 30 amp, and the breaker was weak. Could only run a minimum amount a electrical components to not blow the breaker. The water was a hose from a sit about 70 ft away and it has a hole in it, so was worthless. The sites were overgrown, as well as the whole campground. There were permanent campers there and there sights were full of garbage. The sites were significantly over priced, and its obvious they dont care cuz they are pretty much the only option for visitors to the Ark adventure. If i were to go to the ark adventure again, id stay in Cincinnati and drive.
