Elkhorn Campground

Frankfort, KY is a nice town to visit. There are a lot to see and do. This camp is very clean and green landscape. Office staff nice and friendly. Small store for small essentials. Make reservations early to get full hook ups. Family friendly with playground for kids. Nice dog walk areas too. Our spot backed up next to the creek. It was Elec./water only but the spot was next to the creek. Great scenery. They have a dump station so W/​E wasn’t so bad. We would come back again.

If you are looking for a place to camp in Frankfort, look no further. This is a very well run, clean and well spaced campground. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The restrooms and facilities are clean and well maintained. There are 125 sites in the park of which 109 are paved. Sixty-​one sites have full hookup, including cable TV. Extra long pull thru sites are available for big rigs and campers that are towing. If you have a kayak or canoe the creek is very inviting or just go fishing from the bank. You can cool off at the pool, or enjoy a quick game of putt-​putt. There are also horseshoes, volleyball, and basketball courts available. Children can enjoy the large playground including swings, slides and other equipment. We will definitely go back.

The cleanest bathrooms of any Campground I’ve ever stayed at. Great pool, tidy grounds, nice staff. You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely, family friendly campground! My friend and I arrived just before 7pm and hadn’t called to make a reservation until thirty minutes prior to our arrival. Despite this they were incredibly accommodating. Sweetest hosts one could ask to have.
The reason they get 5 stars (and I wish I could give six!) is because they had by far the CLEANEST BATHROOMS and showers I have ever seen camping. The entire campground was beautiful and incredibly well maintained. The pool, volleyball, and other areas were all beautiful as well. Quiet early in the evening. Great for early risers or late night fireside talking.
I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stumble upon as we passed through Lexington.

Several campsites are right on the Elkhorn River. On the other side of the river is a golf course. Makes for a very peaceful setting. The campground has a pool, volleyball net, playground, mini golf course, and supposedly a dog park which I couldn’t find (though I did find the empty doggie bag holder so I must have been close).
The owner was quite reserved when I showed up, though I’m starting to get the impression that’s how Kentuckians are. I always try to smile and be friendly but it’s hard to get a smile back. Kinda weird. Anyway, there is a 3% fee if you use your credit card. It would be nice if they told you that BEFORE you used your card, rather than me just happening to read it on a sign as they were ringing me up.
The campground is open all year, but the bath house closes at the end of this month (Oct). The bathrooms are carpeted. Yes, carpeted. In the shower area, around the toilet. Seems to me like that would be a breeding ground for bacteria and what not. How often does the carpet get deep cleaned? Or maybe the carpet has antibacterial qualities? I doubt it.
The maintenance guy must’ve been cleaning out a unit because he was tossing lots of perfectly good stuff in the trash– dishes, books, toys. I can’t tell you how tempted I was to take it out and bring it to a thrift store.
They allow dogs but of course not those «fierce» breeds, like chihuahuas and Weiner dogs. Haha just kidding, though they do have breed restrictions.
I’d probably come back because the price was right and the setting was nice. I would pay cash though, for sure.
