Summer is wrapping up and it's not going out quietly. Big Storms! and more Big storms have left their marks and created some cleanup duties for us! The steamy weather has created a very lush, very green Away. We can't wait to see what Autumn does with all this greenery!
Many dates are booked for guests or maintenance. But reach out if there's a date you're looking for - we might have wiggle room.
Away sits at the entry point to western Boone County in Northern Kentucky — neighbor to Cincinnati, Rabbit Hash, and the Ohio River. Our 27 acres mark where rolling farmland gives way to steep, forested hillsides. Our end-of-the-road ridgetop is private by nature. Campsites are tucked in woods shared with turkey, deer, owls, and woodpeckers. Wander wide strolling paths, single-track hiking trails, open fields, and forest — or settle onto the porch of a historic log home.
Curvy, scenic roads lead quickly from the paved world of Union, KY to us — and
onward to the Rabbit Hash General Store, the Ohio River, Dinsmore Homestead, Middle Creek Park, Big Bone State Park, and the Creation Museum. Boating, kayaking, biking, hiking, or lazing in tiny riverfront towns, all just minutes away.
We're a quieter, acoustic kind of place. Great for travelers passing through or locals needing a quick and beautiful outing. Solo campers, friends, families — newbies or seasoned. Drive-in sites make loading and unloading easy.
Amenities: Privacy! We book only two sites at a time, set far apart and wrapped in woods. Also included: an exceptional outhouse, tables, fire rings, lanterns, and a Welcome kit (paper, fatwood, lighter, candle). Firewood available for purchase onsite.
Site 1 – Open Sky — A large field edged by forest. Fits solo or groups, tents to small campers. Extras: hammock, trampoline, badminton & cornhole by request. The largest, easist to access site and closest to all amenties.
Site 2 – Gobbler's Knob — Cozier. A small rise surrounded by woods. Short walk to the outhouse and firewood shed. Park on-site or at the entrance, just 50' away.
Site 3 – Henry's Holler — By request only. 4WD exclusively. Read full site description before requesting.
All sites welcome tents, small pop-ups, pull-behind trailers, and hammocks.

Site 3 – Henry's Holler — By request only, send us a message.
Despite the name, it's actually a plateau tucked in forest — but Henry's Holler just rolled off the tongue. This one's for 4WD vehicles only. The access road is steep and gets uncertain in wet weather for 2WDs. It sits farther from the outhouse, though it's a short walk or quick drive.
Being nearer the property edge means a greater chance to hear our neighbors - still rare but a chance. Your surrounded by forested, steep hillside so you won't be seeing anyone. And fair warning — there's a big military transport vehicle on site. Some love it, but it's decidedly not a natural feature.
This site is best suited for self-contained overlanders, van campers, and low-maintenance tent folks. Comes with fire ring, table, lantern, and welcome kit.
Message us and we'll confirm you've read through and accept these conditions. We promise less and charge less — but if this is your kind of spot, we're glad to have you.

Beautiful star gazing campground with the cleanest, most put together outhouse we have ever seen. Nature is stunning all around and fun to play badminton. Thank you for making our stay special! We loved it and hope to come back one day!
We loved camping at Gobbler's Knob (original site was too wet). The property is private and quiet. It was the perfect spot for a night in our rooftop tent with the dogs. Would highly recommend - Teri had great communication and you can tell they care about their guests.
Great spot. We would stay here again if we were in the area. beautiful property. Wood for the fire was good and dry. Campsite was private. A little bit of a walk to the outhouse but the outhouse was nice and it was clean.
Away at Green Hill is a fantastic property with outstanding hosts - Teri and Mike. Tent camping at the Henry’s Holler site has been great on both of my visits.
Each of their sites is unique in its own way, making the property perfect for follow-up visits. Additionally, there are some nice trails to explore, a frog pond, and a cabin.
I’m looking forward to my next stay!
We camped at Gobblers Knob. There was plenty of flat ground for a tent, an open area surrounded by trees providing privacy, a rock ring fire pit, and a picnic table. The outhouse was actually pretty nice and just a short walk away. Would def stay here again!
This is a wonderful location very quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very responsive before and after our stay. The grounds are thoughtfully laid out and tastefully decorated. Would love to come back for a weekend visit and see some of the local attractions.
I loved my overnight stay at Away at Green Hill! The property was beautiful, and had a remote feel without being too isolated. There are multiple sites, perfect for families or an individual getaway.
I enjoyed the trails and log cabin. The host was very attentive and easy to reach. Will definitely be back!
The site was nice and secluded. There was a nice area to play in that our son enjoyed that had a trampoline and some other games. Overall it was very enjoyable.
Beautiful Area! Will definitely be back! Teri was very responsive and the welcome kit was a great touch.
Just beware of ticks! Me, my husband, dog, and two kids each got a tick bite, but that is to be expected being out in the woods. :)
Such an amazing place!
This was great! Very neat. Clear instructions. Very convenient for those in the Cincinnati area. Far enough from the city to see the stars. Hosts were very helpful. Outhouse was the cleanest one I’ve ever been in.
Staying here was great! Excellent spot, it felt very private. The kit for fire starting was awesome. The entire grounds of the place including the log cabin definitely made this a place worth experiencing. Teri was super helpful and friendly.
I had a great time camping on Teri (and Mike)'s location - they have taken a great deal of care to build something they can be proud of. I've visited state parks with less signage and trails, and none of them had a chandelier in the outhouse!
It was a beautiful campsite well maintained and loved you could just tell! Loved the trails! We took our 3 kids one being special needs and it was amazing! Will be returning 😊
Just outside the greater Cincy area, on a hilltop, is this quiet camp. The Open Skies spot is very a spacious, clean, and well maintained glade. The outhouse is one of the cleanest and cutest I’ve seen. I appreciated the short walking trail that loops around the site, so as to give my pup a quick walk and sniff. The hosts are quick to communicate and ensure a satisfying stay. Would definitely visit again.
We camped here for my birthday. The site was beautiful and very well maintained. The hosts really go the extra mile to provide a comfortable, enjoyable space. They have multiple sites but they are far enough apart that it feels very private. There are some short hiking trails and an adorable old house to explore. The pit toilet was the cleanest, nicest camping bathroom I have ever been in. A very positive experience. I can see us coming back.
This is a beautiful property with plenty of space and privacy. Probably our new favorite spot for when we want to stay nearby our home in Cincinnati. Teri was a very helpful host and accommodated our last minute booking request. A lot of thought has been put into the experience here and we will definitely be back this summer with friends!
Teri and Mike have done a fantastic job here! Things are even better than expected from the online description and the welcome kit was a pleasant surprise. The sites are well laid out with plenty of privacy. Great star gazing here, and I saw deer several times. This was my first time camping here, but I hope to be back again next season.
