My wife and I stayed here for two nights (8-10 August, 2024) in our 18' long travel trailer. The campground is YUGE (over 200 campsites) and is well laid out like a pair of human kidneys and designed to maximize land space. I'm surprised more private RV parks have not copied this very efficient land use design. The RV camp sites all have 20, 30, & 50 amp power outlets and water hookups, and hard asphalt parking pads that are nice and level. There are two large shower houses with laundries, one for each section (kidney) of the park. During our visit, the campground was about 95% occupied, and it seems to stay very busy all year round due to the Kentucky Horse Park and Horse Museum, which is immediately adjacent. Apparently the next door horse park is always hosting some kind of equestrian or rodeo event all year round. The only issue / problem we had while staying here was with the showers and laundry. There were several toilets and sinks that got clogged up in both the ladies and mens rooms, and on the first night we were there, the hot water was out. Additionally, we had to do two loads of laundry while staying there, and only 3 out of the 4 washers and driers were working. It took us 4-5 hours just to do those two loads because there was a wait for the machines. Additionally, there was no folding table in the laundry. Besides those few little gripes, everything else about this place was GREAT. It's very close to I-75 and only about 10 miles NW of historic downtown Lexington, and its sits right in the heart of Kentucky's beautiful bluegrass horse farm country, where there are numerous thoroughbred breeding farms and training facilities all within a 10-15 mile radius. We will definitely stay here again if we ever visit Lexington again.Playground: They do have a nice playground for the kids, as well as nice swimming pool that is open during the warmer months.Restrooms: The restrooms were big with lots of showers and toilets, and they were very clean, but not air conditioned. See my comment above about the backed up plumbing and lack of hot water on our first night there. Lots of kids at this place, so think they may have stopped up the toilets when running around without parental supervision.Dog-friendliness: It is dog friendly, as long as the pets are leashed. They have to be leashed because there is a large equestrian event field on both the north and west side of the campground and there is no fence around them to keep the dogs from chasing after horses (if they are one of those types who are prone to chase other animals (or cars).) If you have a high-energy dog, they also have a very nice fenced in dog park where the dogs can run around off the leash.
