GenieSummary
My Old KY Home campground is a great location for exploring the Bourbon Trail, visiting historic Bardstown and seeing the horse country. The campground is basic, with tent sites, picnic tables, grills, and primitive campsites scattered around an open area. The roads are narrow and some of the sites are short, so maneuvering a large RV can be a challenge. Water and electric hookups are included, but some are far away and require long hoses and extension cords. The campground is close to the Bernheim Forest and Arboretum, and the Stephen Foster Story performance. It is also near the My Old Kentucky Home estate, but access requires driving or walking on two lane busy roads. Restrooms are available, but they are shut down for an hour for cleaning at 9 a.m. The park is quiet and peaceful, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
From The Campground
My Old Kentucky Home State Park is a historic site that features a mansion, farm, and campground. The three-story house, originally named 'Federal Hill,' was built between 1812 and 1818 and became Kentucky's first historic shrine in 1923. The park offers a 39-site campground with utility hookups, a central service building, showers, restrooms, and a dump station. Other amenities include a golf course, playgrounds, tennis courts, and wildlife viewing. Visitors can tour the historic mansion, stroll the grounds, and explore interpretive panels. The park also hosts the Stephen Foster Story, Kentucky's longest-running outdoor drama, during the summer months.
