Kentucky Campgrounds

I vote for Kentucky Horse Park. Close to any of the attractions in the Lexington area.

The "trail" was mentioned and had sparked my curiosity about the Taylorsville park and the trail. Which distilleries did you find to be the best for product, distance and admission price?
Not a bourbon aficionado by no stretch, but have an interest and since we sort of plan to be in the area why not.

If I had to pick one, it would be Makers Mark in Loretta, KY. Without a doubt the most beautiful distillery. The grounds are beautiful. The distillery tour is very informative. Don’t pass up going to see the storage cave they use for their “46” bourbon. On the way you can stop by the Bourbon Heritage Center which is very close to Jim Beam. Seeing those two distilleries are good comparisons. I don’t think there is a charge to tour Makers Mark, don’t remember about Jim Beam

We took a trip to Kentucky in May from Maryland and stayed at Cave Country Rv Campground which is right off the interstate. Probably the cleanest campground we have ever stayed at and everyone was so friendly. All pull thru sites with full hookup and very inexpensive, perfect place for heading out to various destinations like Mammoth Cave National Park which was awesome! If interested in tours go online and reserve ahead of time. Great little barbecue joint called Bucky B's very close to the campground as well. We took a day trip to Louisville and toured the Louisville Slugger factory which was awesome if you like baseball and you get a souvenir bat at the end of the tour.
