Planning trip with 3 & 5 yr olds

My husband %26amp; I are planning a trip to KY this summer with our 2 young kids. Where in Kentucky should we stay???

We will be camping while we%26#39;re there (we have a 5th wheel trailer), and would like to visit some ';family-friendly'; area attractions, maybe a cave, possible horseback riding, beaches.

We appreciate any suggestions!

With your priorities, I%26#39;d recommend the Mammoth Cave Area, or the Land Between the lakes area. The latter won%26#39;t have a cave, but would have lots of other family-friendly activities plus beaches. You can check out more about it at http://www.lbl.org/

Forgot to mention - NUMEROUS places to camp in LBL area - 3 state parks - Kenlake, Kentucky Lake SP, and Lake Barkley SP. Lots and LOTS of primitive spots between the lakes besides 3 with hook-ups.

Check out the KY state parks online at parks.ky.gov/.

We really liked Carter Caves on the east-side of the state. There are several small and accessible caves, some easy hikes, canoeing and a pool. I can%26#39;t remember if there were horses.

Also if you have horse fans, plan to stop at Kentucky Horse Park for at least half a day.
