After you've found the best Lexington campground for your crew, you'll no doubt be itching to explore Kentucky's second city. It's worth noting that downtown Lexington isn't the best place to drive a big rig. Lexington ranks among the top 30 most-congested cities in the U.S. If you're looking for RV parking in Lexington, some of the best options include Fayette Mall, Walmart, and The Red Mile.
Many people come to Lexington to experience everything equine, and one excursion you can't miss is the Kentucky Horse Park. The Kentucky Horse Park is part-farm, part-venue, part-museum, and one of the country's most important horse breeding facilities. Pay a visit to the Hall of Champions and learn about some of Kentucky's legendary thoroughbreds, then take a horseback tour and explore the surrounding countryside at a canter.
Looking to keep the kids in your crew entertained? Then swing by the Explorium of Lexington. This interactive science and art museum has dozens of hands-on exhibits your little ones will love. Highlights from the museum include building homes from around the world, taking a time-traveling trip down the Kentucky River, and walking on the moon!
Or, discover the best for the Bluegrass region with a day-out at the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary. Covering over 700 acres of woodlands, rolling hills, and meadows along the Kentucky River, the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary showcases the best of Kentucky's countryside. Plan a hike down the park's 10 miles of marked trails and uncover the ruins of historic 19th-century settlements.
