We want to spend a week in mid May and do the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with our friends. I am hoping someone can give me a good suggestion on the best or most centralized campground to stay in. We would prefer something within about 40 miles or so of all the distilleries if possible. Thanks for any and all suggestions. KeithPS - before someone asks; the wives don't like bourbon but want to go. Looks like we have our designated drivers with us.:)

I just wanted to mention, drink enough of the product and all the campgrounds are great.

After the second or third stop, anywhere along the roadside will work.Uh oh, wives dont like bourbon, but want to go? Sounds like someone discovered the antique shops in these little towns.

Remember, some of the Kentucky counties are dry. So you can view but not drink.

We set up 'base camp' at Taylorsville Lake Sate Park (Water /electric/Dump Station)We didn't care about FHUs as we were out all day going to couple of Distillers each day.Lake is beautiful setting and sites are good.Worked real well as a base....farthest distiller was 75 miles (I think) but we liked adventuring so we drove all over the area between visits to distillers.Picked up a bottle of:Maker's MarkFour Roses Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Angels EnvyTaylorsville Lake State ParkKY Bourbon Trail Map

We stayed in Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.

Elkhorn Creek in Frankfort. As I remember we drive right by a couple of distilleries getting there.
