The Homeplace on Green River rests on 227-acres next to the historic Civil War Tebbs Bend-Green River Bridge Battlefield. The Homeplace has operated as a working farm for more than 200 years! Listed on the National Register of Places, The Homeplace is an impressive example of Kentucky agritourism in Campbellsville, and a favorite among Campbellsville KY attractions, especially to those interested in Campbellsville Kentucky history. The farm serves as Kentucky’s outdoor classroom and is a great resource for educational programs, scout troops, and other youth groups.
Green River Lake is the destination for Campbellsville Kentucky outdoor activities and some of the best Central Kentucky fishing. Kentucky Living Magazine readers chose Green River Lake State Park as the BEST for camping and RV sites, the BEST for public hunting and fishing, and the BEST water tourism spot. What makes it even better is its proximity to HistoricDowntown Campbellsville, where you will find enticing restaurants like Brother’s Barbecue, a pick-me-up at Harden Coffee or a stop for authenic mexican cruisine at La Catrina's.
Campbellsville Kentucky is a designated Kentucky trail town.
With cooling temperatures and the beginnings of leaf color changes, the Fall season in Campbellsville is the perfect time of year for hiking and walking, horseback riding, mountain biking, bicycling and making time for outdoor adventures.
Campbellsville is a Kentucky Trail Town, so designated due to its proximity to an abundance of trails like those meandering around Green River Lake State Park or the Historic Tebbs Bend Civil War Battlefield or Clay Hill Memorial Forest. Traditionally, a Kentucky Trail Town is a destination near hiking, walking or horseback riding trails where you can find supplies and guides, lodging, food and beverage and places of interest or entertainment. And Campbellsville has it all!
Rich in history, Clay Hill Memorial Forest and its peaceful interpretive hiking trails were once part of Clay Hill Farm, an historic farm during the early 19th Century. With trails along beech-maple woodland, Clay Hill is a regional hub for environmental education and research managed by Campbellsville University, featuring a center for sight-impaired children, a "living wall"; a wastewater purification wetland circuit, a cemetery, a natural cob bench, a pond observation deck, boardwalk, and five miles of trails that delight birdwatchers.
Campbellsville even has a walking, hiking and bicycling trail right through its historic downtown on the Trace-Pitman Greenway, following picturesque creeks and beautiful views of woods and meadows.
Make your Campbellsville outdoor adventure your destination for a weekend getaway or vacation. There are so many choices of places to stay ranging from national chain hotels and motels to Airbnb vacation homes and cabins…even a unique camping experience at The Tipi Village, a Sioux inspired campground.
