Kentucky State Parks Offering $50 Rooms PLUS a 10 Percent Discount for Current and Past Members of the Military

Residents of Beautiful Greenbo forest

Holy moly, Batman! The Kentucky State Parks System is offering lodge rooms for just $50 per night. All you have to do is go to the Kentucky State Parks website and download a coupon with special powers. The coupon is good for Sundays-Thursdays, from Sept. 2 through December 30.

The State Park System is also honoring our servicemen and women - past and present. No one has asked me, but if they did, I’d say that this sort of respect and gratitude should be shown by every store, restaurant, hotel chain, theater, etc. in the country. They say RESPECT is something you earn, and anyone who has served or is serving in their country’s military has earned RESPECT in spades.

From the website:
The Kentucky State Parks are now offering 10 percent off lodging and camping rates for current and former members of the military.

“This is our way of saying thanks for your service,” Parks Commissioner Gerry van der Meer said. “We’re very proud of our soldiers and want them to know they’re welcome at our state resort parks and campgrounds.”

The discount is good for lodge rooms, cottages and campgrounds any time of the year, based on availability. To get the discount, guests will need to show some proof of service such as discharge papers, military ID or VFW member card, at check in.

The Kentucky State Parks have 17 resort parks that have lodges and cottages. The resort parks have restaurants, gift shops, hiking trails, picnic areas and recreational activities such as boating, fishing, golf and tennis. The parks also have 31 campgrounds, all with water and electric hookups at improved sites. Many of the resorts and campgrounds are near state park historic sites.

Guests can make reservations by visiting www.parks.ky.gov or by calling a resort park. Call 1-800-255-PARK for assistance.
