Where ya camping? No, to my knowledge, there are no laws pertaining to Kentucky SPs.

I just got back from OCing in the Gorge. I know it isn't a SP but no one said anything and I even saw another guy out there OCing.

I asked this question of my state representative and actually had a state park ranger contact me and he said, carry in the state park was perfectly legal.
