Campsite 7 Robert’s Mountain

Little slice of paradise

Bill was an absolutely wonderful host and I could not be more grateful that he opened his heart and land to my friends and I for the solar eclipse. The campsite on the top of the mountain (#7) is an absolute dream with a view of the night sky that's unmatched even on my parent's farm in rural Kentucky. I was fully prepared to pack all my things up the hill but Bill even lugged them up for us with the tractor. I will undoubtedly be back to Bill's before the summer sets in to experience the magic of Robert's Mountain.

Site 4 Walnut grove

Camping on Bill’s property was lovely! It’s a scenic area with plenty of space to spread out and explore. He tends the land very well and there was plenty of firewood for two nights. Just be careful of ticks during the spring and summer!

Site 5 Walnut Grove

A great value and experience

Bill’s campground was an excellent place to stay! He is a wonderful host. Sites are well kept. If you’re going toward the back of the campground, I would recommend the mountain site. The site by the entrance by the river would be a gray place to stay as well.

Campsite 7 Robert’s Mountain

Weekend Camping

We spent a weekend camping on Bill’s land. We were at the number 7 campsite (Robert’s mountain). The campsite was beautiful and secluded. Bill was an amazing host. From helping us take our camping supplies to the campsite with his tractor to recommending places to hike and fish, he really went the extra mile. Overall a wonderful experience.
