Fort Boonesborough State Park

This was such a calm, relaxing state park. It should be a 5 star but a water main was busted and we had to dry camp. The park did give an option to cancel BUT we wanted a white Christmas.

Being a fan of living history, I was thrilled to live near the fort founded by Daniel Boone. It was one of our first explorations when we moved to KY.

The buildings are fun to explore, and the people portraying life are interesting to talk to. The video in the first building, though obviously old, is fun to watch and learn about Daniel Boone.

At the original fort, which is just a stone foundation, my kids would spend hours playing. The playground, though fun, was not the main attraction.

Whether you want to picnic and play, or get immersed in history, Fort Boonesborough is a great place to go.

Camp host were wonderful getting us a last minute spot. Only negative I have is the big diesel pickups in and out all night...loud and fast. Would stay there again. Great price for a full hook up site.

Always clean and neat. Restrooms are kept very clean and well stocked. In our recent visit, neither hand air dryers worked. When told, the office sent out workers to replace them. Halloween is their big event/holiday. People reserve spots a year in advance come and compete for best decorated site. Coupled with a fine car show (2nd weekend of month) it is a great time to visit. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Great state park.
