After a long drive, Elkhorn was a welcome experience. Spotless restrooms and showers were perfect. Located in the center of Bourbon country, Elkhorn is just a few minutes from several distilleries. These campgrounds are what make driving around America Great Again.

Great RV park on a lovely creek! We stayed in spot 22 but I would recommend staying anywhere on the creek. The other sites are lovely but I love any site with water. There are huge old trees that they kept when making the park. We saw and heard lots of birds, turtles and even an otter!!! Saturday night they had live music and a food truck that was wonderful! Check their events page.

Quiet, Friendly, convenient, and beautiful location. Dog friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience while doing bourbon tours in Frankfort and surrounding areas.

All staff was friendly and helpful. Loved the campground in all aspects. Great amenities, well kept. Our site was a little close to the neighbors, with having pets.. but other than that all went well. We were there for like 12 nights..we would definitely recommend!!
