Ready to get back to nature? All across Kentucky, campers will find ample opportunities to sleep beneath the stars.

 

Kentucky State Parks are home to some of the most popular campgrounds in the state (and some of our most scenic views). Those looking for a more rustic experience can visit places like Daniel Boone National ForestLand Between the Lakes National Recreation Area or Mammoth Cave National Park. And nearly every popular attraction in Kentucky will have a campground catering to RVs and camping trailers. Answer the call of the outdoors at Kentucky’s camping sites – just don’t forget the marshmallows!

Trip Inspiration

How to Spend a Day in Ashland

Kentucky Appalachians

Start your day at Sky37, where you can savor some of the best Brazilian coffee while meeting the humble and welcoming owners, Jason and Carma. Their custom ceramic pour-over ensures the perfect drip, and they source their coffee beans directly from farmers in Brazil.

 

Don't miss out on their delicious Breakfast Rice Bowl and the brown-sugar caramelized pineapple, which are simply irresistible. Jason and Carma’s whole goal is to make people feel like they’re at home, and that’s exactly what they accomplish — we didn’t want to leave. 


For lunch, head to Backyard Pizza and Raw Bar. You’ll find wood-fired pizza here with superb crust and unique topping combos. We ordered The Flying Piggie with tender bbq pork, mozzarella, toasted butter pickles, and onion strings. Other menu highlights — fresh raw Oysters, Hickory Grilled Wings, and Wood-Fire Grilled Mussels with a beurre blanc sauce.

 



The Ashland Hot Chicken Sandwich served at The Mill.

 

We recommend having dinner at The Mill, which serves delicious comfort food like the Ashland Hot Chicken Sandwich — crispy, juicy chicken, slathered in homemade hot sauce, nestled between buttery, fluffy toast, and served with perfectly cooked fries. While you might be full from the day, don’t miss their dessert. This is their specialty, as the owner herself makes all their baked goods in house and changes the options offered with the season.
