<P>This is from the campground websight that says it all</P>
<P>Since 1987 we have been a family owned and operated campground.&nbsp; We are located in the capital city of Frankfort, Kentucky&nbsp;on the banks of the Elkhorn Creek.&nbsp; The&nbsp;park&nbsp;is open from April 1st thru October 31st each year.&nbsp; Limited camping&nbsp;sites are available during the winter months.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are&nbsp;125 sites in the park&nbsp;of which 109 are paved.&nbsp; Sixty-one sites have full hookup, including cable TV.&nbsp; Extra long pull thru sites are available for big rigs and campers that are towing. </P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We are a family oriented campground with amenities to meet each family member's needs.&nbsp; Everyone can cool off at the pool, or perhaps enjoy a quick game of putt-putt.&nbsp; The campground also has horseshoes, volleyball, and basketball courts available for the young and old.&nbsp;&nbsp;Children can enjoy the large playground including swings, slides and other&nbsp;equipment&nbsp;located near the general store.&nbsp; Hand-dipped ice cream is always a treat after a day of fun in the sun.&nbsp; Dinner can be a quick "catch" from the Elkhorn Creek with a relaxing game of shuffleboard as the sun sets.&nbsp; </P>
<P align=left>Sites can be rented on a daily, weekly or&nbsp;monthly basis.&nbsp; There are limited monthly sites available in the park.&nbsp; Call ahead for reservations for your next&nbsp;family get away.</P>
<P align=left><FONT face=Arial>general store is located in the campground.&nbsp; Groceries are available along with RV supplies.&nbsp; Children can choose a new float, swimmers&nbsp;or ear plugs.&nbsp; Hand-dipped ice cream is a hit with everyone.&nbsp; Propane gas can be purchased by the tank or the gallon.&nbsp; A laundry mat is located next to the store with both washers and dryers.&nbsp; Ice for coolers can be bought at the store also.&nbsp; You can use the on site pay phone or internet hook-up to keep in touch with your loved ones.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The pavillion&nbsp;seats up to 200 people and is ideal for camper groups and their get togethers.&nbsp; A huge fireplace keeps off the fall chill, and portable sides can be&nbsp;brought down to make the room as cozy as being at&nbsp;home.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is a small&nbsp;arcade located in the pavillion.&nbsp; A playground is located in front of the store&nbsp;with swings, slides and other equipment.&nbsp; The pool is a great spot to cool off on hot summer days.&nbsp; </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Campers,&nbsp;young and old, can enjoy the &nbsp;basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and shuffleboard courts.&nbsp; Putt - putt golf is availabe for any member of the family.&nbsp; You can make a "quick catch" for dinner by fishing on the banks of the Elkhorn, provided you have a Kentucky&nbsp;fishing license.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The&nbsp;large full hook-up sites have electric, water, sewer and cable.&nbsp; Big rigs are welcomed, and pull thru sites are availabe for easy parking.&nbsp; Most of the sites are paved and have mature trees for shade. &nbsp; No camp site is complete without a fire ring.&nbsp; Firewood is available at the general store.&nbsp; A dump station&nbsp;for cleaning your gray and black tanks is located&nbsp;near the bath house &nbsp; </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The location of the campground is perhaps its best amenity.&nbsp; When you enter the campground, you steal a little piece of the country.&nbsp; Evenings can be spent listening to the bull frogs croaking&nbsp;and the crickets chirping.&nbsp; You can travel 2 miles from the park and enjoy all the amenities of the city.&nbsp; Several shopping areas and many restaurants are a short distance from the campground.&nbsp; </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tourist attractions are numerous with only a short drive from the park.&nbsp; You can drive through&nbsp;horse farm country in Lexington, Versailles and Midway.&nbsp; Antiques can be located in Georgetown, Midway and Frankfort.&nbsp; A tour of the&nbsp;Toyota Motor Manufacturing Plant is a short drive from the park.&nbsp; Visiting the capital city is a great day trip.&nbsp; You can see how laws are made for Kentucky or how bourbon is produced.&nbsp; Genealogy can be studied at the State Library of Archives or at the Kentucky History Center.&nbsp; </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>This Campground is only 5 miles off I 64 in Frankfort, Ky a good overnight stop!!</FONT></P>
