Double J Stables and Campgrounds

We had a great 3 hour ride through the mammoth cave national forest! Our guide was awesome and very knowledgeable of the area. The whole crew was warm and welcoming on the cold day we went riding. The horses are very well trained and even my husband who is new to riding had a smooth ride. I highly recommend and we will visit again!

Highly recommend horseback riding! My Mom and I decided to take a day trip here for the 1.5 hour guided trail ride and it was well worth it! Very reasonably priced, and the people that run it are so friendly and polite. The horses are also well behaved, healthy and taken good care of. We will definitely be back! ❤️🐎

Such a great Ranch! Owners / workers are super friendly. They encourage you to go around and take a look at the horses I'm their stalls and pet them if you'd like. They have a short description of each horse and their names. A very nice personal touch! Very informative before the ride, while on the ride and after the ride. You can even learn about the trail and the history of the land. Sarah was our lead (there were 2 Sarah's that day and both were GREAT) and she spoke to the group all during the ride. Reminding folks how to ride when going up and downhill. Super helpful for people not familiar with riding. I would recommend this ranch and I gave it a five star review. Close to Bowling Green KY, and a nice scenic ride out to the ranch.

Had a great trail ride with them. Loved that they take you INSIDE the national park. Sarah was a lovely guide. Kept the group together well. Really grateful for the shady trail we took! Many other horse stables nearby have their ride out on the plain & that would have been dreadfully hot if we were not in the shade. Appreciated the well behaved horses and the little tips they gave to each rider about their horse. They did a nice job making sure the kids in the group were safe and happy. Highly recommend them.

Loved the stables and completely enjoyed the incredibly beautiful trails. Sarah and Sarah were our guides, and they did an excellent job. The owners are hands-on and were there to greet us and make sure everyone was matched up with the right horse for them. I rode Fritz, and he was a real sweetheart, like riding around in your lazy boy. I would love to go back. Make sure you tip your guides. They all work hard to ensure you enjoy yourselves. Also, riding helmets are available for those who want them, and I was offered a step stool to get on my horse, which was greatfully appreciated because I'm short.

Ranch owners Dave and Rocky will treat you like family upon your arrival, so we encourage you to prepare to fall completely in love with your entire adventure at the stables! This is not a tourist trap experience, but just like you walked out your backdoor onto a working farm. The horses are loved, given ample rest periods between rides, and groups are kept small for a personalized experience. After your ride you can enjoy a walk around the stalls and greet the horses as they munch on their mounds of hay. Each horse has such a distinct personality, but all are delicate and docile, making your experience inside and outside of the barn safe and enjoyable. If horses make you anxious, don’t fret, as Dave and Rocky have successfully won over even the most terrified of riders to secure them safely on a horse that fits their personality, and by the time the trail ride is over, they are bonded with their horse and ready for a second round! You will have an overall fantastic experience and enjoy the wonderful guides that take you through the trails of Mammoth Cave National Park. Bring your own horses and set up your RV, or if you don't have your own horses, stay in the Bunk House and take a guided ride, or come for the day and enjoy a guided horseback ride. We can't wait to see you there!

My friend and I came here as part of our college graduation camping trip to Mammoth Cave. We booked a one hour horse ride and Courtney was our guide. As soon as we pulled up to the barn, both she and Rocky greeted us so kindly and told us we could do a longer ride if we wanted to since another group failed to show. They explained everything very nicely and made it a super easy process. The horses very obviously are loved and enjoy doing their jobs, and the ranch is so beautiful and well maintained. The ride was so much fun, Courtney was very funny and energetic making fun conversation and talking about the horses during our ride. When we got back to the stables they offered to take graduation pictures for us with the horses and we hung out to brush a horse named June! When we left we both decided that if we ever get the opportunity to come back we will absolutely camp and ride horses here again. Thank you so much for being part of our trip, we had the best time!

We had an exceptional 1.5 hour trail ride into Mammoth Cave National Park. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with true southern hospitality. They even showed us their campground and let us greet every single horse in their stalls. We were appropriately matched to our horses with 2 kids and 2 adults, each horse was selected perfectly. We especially appreciated the step to mount the horses. The trail was wide, beautiful, and even crossed a little running stream. Excellent guide, I believe Courtney was her name. And owners Dave and Rocky felt like old friends. Very well cared for horses and truly a joy to support their business.

As a Cubmaster, this location is perfect for a Scouting weekend adventure. It has easy access to hiking (Mammoth Cave Trails) and fishing (Lake Nolin). It has excellent grounds with indoor rest facilities, electrical access, and potable water. Finally, it has a great staff! The owners are accessible, upfront, and accommodating, the guides are kid friendly, and the horses are well trained. It's the whole package!
