Fort Boonesborough State Park
This state park gives patrons access to camping , fishing , and history — all in one place !
The legacy of some of Kentucky ’ s first settlers will come to life for children , who will be excited to see real , live blacksmithing action and demonstrations of pioneer life in this reconstruction of Kentucky ’ s second settlement . They can go door-to-door touring cabins and blockhouses to see old tools and furnishings .
Can ’ t get enough history ? The Kentucky River Museum provides visitors
with insight into the lives of families who lived on the river and worked the locks and dams in the 1900s .
If they get bored of the
history lesson , there is miniature golf onsite as well .
Outdoor enthusiasts can camp on the banks of the
Kentucky River , and there ’ s plenty of room !
The campground offers 166 sites with electricity and water hookups ; 18 have full hookups . There are 2 central service buildings and 3 dump stations . An activities building can accommodate 150 people , and central service buildings provide showers , restrooms , and laundry facilities , so your children don ’ t have to camp like pioneers if they don ’ t want to !
