About

My Old Kentucky Home State Park Campground occupies a portion of the original 1,300-acre plantation that surrounds the historic mansion immortalized in Stephen Foster's famous song. The campground features 39 RV sites with utility hookups, arranged in a distinctive round-about layout that showcases the property's wooded forests and rolling hills. Maximum vehicle lengths range from 24 to 55 feet across different sites. Primitive tent camping is available in designated areas set amongst centuries-old forest, offering a more rustic outdoor experience. The campground includes a central bathhouse with showers and restrooms, a dump station, and a camping store. Additional amenities such as a grocery store and laundry facilities are located just across the street from the park. The campground is part of a larger state park that features the historic Federal Hill mansion, outdoor musical theater productions, and an 18-hole golf course. The park underwent $4 million in renovations during 2025 to enhance visitor experiences and modernize facilities.
