Kentucky is a southeastern state in the United States of America. Apart from the most gorgeous lakes, the state also has the world’s largest cave system known as Mammoth Cave National Park, which serves as a major tourist attraction. It is also home to the horse industry, thanks to a species of grass known as Kentucky Bluegrass, which is found in many of its pastures. Hence, horse racing in Keeneland Fall and the Kentucky Derby are major events that people look forward to. Kentucky is also blessed with natural beauty. This consists of mountain ranges, lakes, forests, and rivers, and they make for great hiking and trekking spots for glamping. Are you planning a trip for an adventurous and unforgettable glamping experience in the vicinity of nature? Read this specially curated list of the best glamping spots in Kentucky, USA.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.
