Go glamping in Kentucky for bourbon, bluegrass, caves, and the great outdoors.
There's no need to rough it in the Bluegrass State, whether you're following along on the Bourbon Trail, attending the Kentucky Derby, chasing ghosts or baseball in Louisville, or exploring the great outdoors. Explore the longest cave system in the world at Mammoth Cave National Park or the caverns of Carter Caves State Resort Park. Climb the epic crags of Red River Gorge, or go hiking, horseback riding, and hunting in Daniel Boone National Forest. Look for moonbows at the "Niagara of the South" in Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. Visit Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace or stand in three states at the same time in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Some Kentucky state parks, especially resort parks, offer cabins, cottages, and lodges for campers with more modern amenities. For extras like air conditioning, pools, activities, and wifi, look for a private safari tent, yurt, vintage trailer, covered wagon, dome, treehouse, or cabin.
In Kentucky, glamping is a type of outdoor stay combining camping's nature setting with the luxury and convenience of comforts like beds, warm showers, or electricity. When glamping in Kentucky, there's no need to bring your own tent—instead, glampers may stay the night in a cabin, a vintage Airstream, a canvas bell tent, a yurt, or even a treehouse.
