Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses
Camping with Horses- Loved It
We got there in the dark, so it was a bit tough finding our way to the camping spot, but it was a great experience overall. We parked in a pasture overlooking a wide vista of pasture and woodland. My kids loved the friendly dogs and the gentle horses. Strolling through the hilly pastures in the early morning with the grazing horses was really an unforgettable experience for a family from the city.
This farm is a good ways off the interstate, but worth the drive I'd say. Note that it's a quick drive to the boundary of Mammoth Caves NP, but it'll take 45min to an hour to get to the actual visitor center.

I was just staying for the night on my way up north from down south. I came in at night and left before sunrise in the morning. The host was very helpful and accommodating.

This was such a cool and unique experience! The host, Tonya, was a great communicator and the location was excellent. Gets windy on top of the hill so be sure to bring warm clothes depending on the time of year. Great place overall!

Absolutely beautiful views. The hosts were so welcoming and even had firewood at the site for us when we got there. Great location for a visit to Mammoth Cave NP too!

Camping with Horses!
My daughter and I really enjoyed boon-docking in our teardrop trailer on the hill! Fantastic views, peaceful, and plenty of space. Just make sure everything is secure, it can get pretty windy! The hosts were very accommodating but I wish there would have been better communication. And though they do provide firewood, I would bring a bundle to start with. Overall, camping here was a wonderful experience and being able to get close to the horses made it that much more memorable!

Camping with horses and farm dogs
Great host and area! The horses and dogs are LOVELY!! All of the neighbors are very friendly and the sky is so beautiful here at night. Away from the busyness of the campgrounds but close to still get the feel. Tonya offered us Firewood and Sadie (the daughter) was helpful when Tonya wasn’t available. Excited to stay here again anytime I’m nearby💙🤍. Be prepared to walk for the faculties and be mindful of gates and fences

Ranch camping
We loved camping at the Dragonfly Ranch! Waking up to horses grazing nearby was magical. The campsite was clean and flat - so setting up the tent was super easy. We arrived later than we wanted, but Tonya was kind and accommodating. The horses and dogs were friendly and sweet.

Beautiful sunrise and sunsets
What a unique place to camp! We were on top of a hill with views on all sides to the countryside. We got here just in time for sunset, which was beautiful, and made sure we got up early enough to see the sunrise as well. It didn’t disappoint. Our host was welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. The only down side was that the horses never came to visit! Highly recommend the spot.

Camping amongst the stars
Tonya was a great host, we had an amazing time with some of the best stargazing we have ever seen (up on the hill). The horses were such a bonus for us and our kiddos, Tonya and her boys were a great help, they brought firewood and were very attentive to our needs! If you stay, be prepared for many different animals sounds all night- we very much enjoyed this, but some may not.
Great location near Mammoth Cave, we will soon return!

Perfect for Stargazing
Tonya was a welcoming host. I appreciated the firewood and clean space. We enjoyed watching the horses and being greeted by her dogs. The property was easy to find and felt safe. It was the perfect spot to stay before a day of hiking in Mammoth Cave NP.

Magical stay w horses!
We loved our stay! Tonya was super responsive, kind, and welcoming. We woke up at sunrise to horses curiously checking out our camper van and I can only describe the encounter as magical. If you love horses and dogs, this place is not to be missed.

Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses
Tonya’s ranch was quite gorgeous and peaceful! I was really excited to see the horses as I’m a longtime equestrian and missing horses to me is the same as homesickness. There were so many young horses and the heard was quite colorful. Tanya was very accommodating and it was very peaceful in the patch that I set up my hammock. The rains came in pretty fast that night and I was real bummed about not setting up a fire, maybe next time. Thanks again

Camping with horses!
I loved tent camping on Tonya's property. It was a unique experience. It was so fun having horses walking around the property. Especially fun to wake up to them outside of your tent. There was even a baby horse that tolerated all of my hugs!

Beautiful campsite with animals
Easily one of the best camping experiences I've ever had. The spot was on a hill overlooking breathtaking sunrises/sunsets and gave a beautiful view of the stars. The horses hung out with us in the morning, and at night the dog became our best friend and sat by the campfire for hours (and slept next to our tent when we went to bed). Tonya was quick to respond to questions and helped guide us to the best spot possible. I can truly say this stay surpassed all expectations and highly recommend to anyone coming to see Mammoth Cave.

Magical night of camping
Camping at Dragonfly Ranch was nothing short of magical!!!
Our family camped at the top of the ridge near the pond. The view was amazing. Tonya had a spot for a campfire and fire wood waiting. We were able to set up or tent where we wanted and had the entire place to ourself.... except for the horses (of course) and some very friendly dogs. What a special treat having the horses walk through our site and visit us on and off through our stay. At night we had a great view of the stars and watched the fireflies. It was incredible to wake up with horses all around us and the sound of roosters / turkeys.
We also ventured out to Nolin Lake Sate Park and swam at the beach. It was a 12 minute drive and a great way to cool off in the evening.
So thankful that Tonya has opened up her land for others to enjoy. Truly a one of a kind camping trip. HIGHLY Recommend. I know this is something that my kids will remember for a LONG time.

We had a blast camping with the horses!!! The views on her property are gorgeous and just waking up with the horses around you is amazing!! Tonya is sooo nice and she accommodated us last minute. This was definitely a memory the kids will cherish!! Next time we are in the area we will for sure come back again!!

Absolutely amazing spot and host
Wow! This made our trip through Kentucky amazing. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a more fantastic host. The property is easy to access and beautiful, we fell asleep watching a meteor shower and woke up
surrounded by horses who are friendly and didn’t mind us taking touristy photos of them. We had asked about horse back riding the night before and Tonya had offered to take us around on some of her horses. I had assumed this meant once around the ranch and then we’d be back on the rode. What we actually got was the most amazing back trail experience. We drove out with the horses and spent several hours going over the most stunningly beautiful trails near mammoth cave. It was so rewarding and I feel like we got to see a part of this area that most people never do. Tonya is such an amazing person and she really made this the highlight of our visit to the state!

Our first Hipcamp was a major score!
For quick weekend away, we decided to check out Mammoth Caves. The campgrounds were booked solid so we gave Tonya's place a try. What a blessing! Just a 30 minute drive that included a ferry ride from the national park. Perched above the Green River and Mammoth Cave basin, the views stretched out for miles. We loved the friendly dogs and chatting with the host when she rode up on horseback and offered free wood for a camp fire.
