Kentucky Camp is located in the Santa Rita Mountains and is the site of an old mining operation. This historical site consists of a collection of buildings that were established as a base of operations for the Santa Rita Water and Mining Company in 1904. It has since become a historic site that is maintained by the Forest Service and volunteers. 

This area is great for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding with accessible trails that meet various levels of experience. 

Cabin rentals can accommodate up to five people with two twin beds, a bunkbed, and a sofa bed. 

Reservations to stay at one of the cabins can be made at www.recreation.gov.
