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.

Men's room was impeccably clean. The sales floor itself is well stocked with al plethora of food items and necessities. The sales floor is clean, well lit and spacious. Aisles are appropriately sized and easy to navigate. The soda fountain was clean, well stocked and had lots of selections, including a full range of Ale 8 products. The coffee was fresh, but the selection of creamer flavors was limited. I chose to eat here during my visit. The clerks behind the fresh food counter were very helpful and I was greeted with warm smiles. There is a small buffet which, for its size, is amply stocked with a variety of food offerings, including some ethnic options. I chose to eat from the fresh food counter instead. I placed my order around 1:30, well after the lunch rush. I ordered a 3 piece chicken tenders meal and onion rings. The chicken was a little spicier than I expected. It was good, if you like a little bite. Someone who does not like spicy food would not expect that level of spiciness from chicken tenders and might not enjoy them. I know it is pretty well industry standard anymore, but getting one small container of sweet and sour sauce for three chicken tenders is ridiculous and a ripoff. It was gone with the first chicken tender. The onion rings had great flavor and were large. Portion sizes were ample. It is at this point in my review that we come to the reason this was not a full five star review. The food was room temperature. The onion rings were almost cold. This caused the residual grease from frying them to stick to the roof of my mouth while eating them. The food was a dissapointment. I would not go back to this establishment and order the same thing. Overall, it is decent place to "hop off" for a pit stop, but by no means would I consider dining there. I think there are better options in Lawrenceburg and Lexington. I was in a hurry when I went in, so I was not able to take pictures, something I always prefer to do when writing a review.

**A Magical Stay in the Heart of Historic Frankfort**…read more Our recent stay at the St. Clair Hotel in Frankfort, Kentucky, was absolutely wonderful. From the fantastic food and welcoming staff at The Howser Tavern which is downstairs from the hotel to the beautifully designed hotel suite and historic surroundings, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We arrived a little early, so we stopped at The Howser Tavern for a quick snack and some excellent drinks. The restaurant is fantastic, with kind, attentive waitstaff and genuinely great food - I mean **great food**. The pizza choices alone included pepperoni and hot honey, pesto, Margherita, BBQ chicken, Buffalo chicken, and the Howser Special with capicola, green pepper, red onion, and Kalamata olives. The menu also offered cheese and charcuterie boards, soups, chicken salad, and wonderful sandwiches such as capicola and pepper jack, prosciutto and smoked Gouda, and salami and cheddar. Add in a wide selection of professionally mixed drinks served by a cheerful, knowledgeable staff who were happy to answer questions, and The Howser Tavern is worth visiting even without a hotel stay, try an Old Fashioned or bourbon. One especially fun benefit of staying at the St. Clair was a complimentary drink in the speakeasy. What a cool concept - and such a treat for tired travelers! Checking in was easy. The St. Clair entrance is clearly marked and visible both from the street and from inside The Howser Travern. We had one quick question about the room's keyless lock (that was us, not them), but the managers at The Howser Tavern who support the hotel helped us in about 30 seconds. We were inside the room immediately, and it was very nice not having to keep track of a key card. There are stairs and a roomy elevator for ease of access to the rooms. The moment we entered the hotel suite, we were impressed. The St. Clair beautifully combines the character of a historic building with modern comfort and convenience. The exposed brick walls, architecture, upscale furnishings, and new appliances create exactly the right balance of history and luxury. Whoever designed this hotel apartment did a wonderful job. Our suite had two spacious, comfortable bedrooms - one with what appeared to be a queen-size bed and the other with a king-size bed. The bedrooms were separated by the bathroom, which helped keep each room quiet and private. The mattresses, pillows, and linens felt luxurious, and everything was exceptionally clean. The entire suite had that perfect fresh, clean hotel smell without being chemical or overpowering. The bathroom was modern and spotless, with a very nice shower, plenty of towels, and a soft bathmat. My photos do not do it justice because I neglected to turn on the bathroom lights before taking them! With the lights on, it was bright, attractive, and extremely clean. I had seen another review mentioning water escaping from the shower, but we experienced no such problem. We experienced a well stocked, clean, modern, good water pressure shower. Down the hall was a large living space with a huge television, a comfortable couch, and chairs. The full kitchen included a table, plates, glasses, cups, a full-size refrigerator, a Keurig with coffee and supplies, a sink with soap and a sponge, a dishwasher with detergent, a stove, and a microwave. Everything looked clean, modern, and new. Parking was also convenient. We found easy street parking, and there is also complimentary spaces available to hotel guests in the garage directly across the street. The hotel's location makes the experience even more special. It sits along a charming old-town street with architecture spanning the 1800s through today. Nearby is a wonderful vintage-looking theater (with movies and bands), an outstanding music shop that we loved so much we wished it were closer to home, interesting restaurants and stores, and numerous historic landmarks. The Old State Capitol is at the end of the block, and the surrounding area offers waterfront parks and paths, historic information signs, beautiful churches, and homes and buildings from several periods of American history (1700-1900s) We enjoyed seeing places such as the old courthouse, Garden Hall, the site of the Love House, Liberty Hall and its gardens, the Bibb-Burnley House, the Lafayette tour plaque, and many other historic sites. Our visit felt magical, and I would love to return someday when we have more time to explore Frankfort further - we did drive by the current capital building (and visited the overlook) which was all somewhat close by where we were staying. I highly recommend staying at the St. Clair Hotel in the historic district. It offers beautiful accommodations, excellent food and refreshments very close by, friendly service, entertainment, fascinating history, and wonderful shops - all within easy reach. Did I mention the close buy cake, coffee, and the ice cream shops. It was truly a fabulous stay.

Building is beautifully renovated,…read moregreat location, beds are comfy, room was very clean and spacious, and drink tickets for the speakeasy downstairs where we had arguably the best old fashions we have ever tasted. We would definitely come back. A few smaller annoyances. The check-in info was never sent through VRBO and we had no way to get in the building or our room which both require codes. Room 203 is very hard to find as there are no signs from the elevator. No signs or indications on where to park. The toilet seat bolts were off/missing. The shower door isn't quite wide enough resulting in a wet bathroom floor. Someone was using the laundry room outside our door until 11:45pm which was fine except for the very loud noise when the cycles finished. All of these are very fixable and wouldn't deter us from staying here again. Also noting they were super responsive to calls and text messages.
