This is a very rural type area yet still in the city so you will hear and see a combination of city/country things. We are very close to Fort Knox and Knob Creek gun range. You will most likely encounter wildlife, hear gunfire, hear cars and the train go by, you will probably see and hear us and the neighbors on tractors and trucks. This is a working farm among other farming type residents. This is a space for someone to camp with their personal camping equipment. There is no water, no shower, no electric or anything else besides a fire pit. You need to bring your own supplies. We border the Jefferson County Forestry with an entrance about 1 mile away.

The best camping near Taylorsville Lake State Park guide

Overview

About

When you’re in the company of Kentucky’s unending, incredible lakes and wilderness, it can get a little competitive. But if there ever were a “first-place” winner, this one would be a top contender. Taylorsville Lake is 3,050 acres, 78 miles of shoreline, the most heavily stocked fishing spot in all of Kentucky and the perfect halfway mark between Louisville and Lexington. And if you are touring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail? This place is known to the locals as the place to camp out, being within an hour of the major distilleries. On top of that, the most beautiful countryside can be seen via the 24-mile trail system by hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding. Taylorsville Lake State Park makes up for any complaint of remoteness with gorgeous scenery, clean campsites, and it’s top-notch waters. And being neighbors to some of the world’s finest bourbon? Come on, that’s good stuff!
