Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

2 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Cub Run, KY

Learn more about this land: This is a horse ranch so you can sleep in the company of horses or in the woods with them in the distance ( check if available/storm damage).We have rolling hills, beautiful views from the hill tops, valley with creeks and a waterfall when not in dry or draught and an abundance of wildlife. Also we're located 5-10 minutes from mammoth cave park border, hike, bike and horse trails, river, lake, blue holler atv park and so much more. If you are sensitive to animal noises you may bring earplugs. There isn't a bathroom/ shower house yet so we ask that you bring a port-a-pot of some sort. We're constantly making upgrades to the Ranch so we hope you enjoy your stay. Please refrain from feeding the horses or dogs because it creates a bad habit and folks that don't know how sensitive a horses gut is can possibly kill them. Respect privacy of others and pack out all that you pack in. Shut any gates you come through. We have a hot wire fenced in section for folks to park in if they do not want to be so close to the horses as well. If you don't like horses or dogs please consider alternative camp site. Limited pet allowance...check before booking please. Also, we've had issues with the site and it offering horse time, ride, Q&A etc. for 5$. We've taken steps to fix this. But if you would like something like that it would be through the Ranch directly and as our time allows. Thank you for taking the time to read everything as well.

Kickin' Grass Farm

We are a chemical free, drug free farm raising pastured livestock and poultry. We are land healers on this great crusade to grow quality pastures to raise nutrient dense proteins! We have a wonderful view of the hills of Kentucky on 140 acres of pasture and woodlands. We grow poultry (chickens and turkey), cattle, sheep and pigs. Our farm is aromatically and visually pleasing. We are non-conventional in our methods and pride ourselves in the fact our path is to sustainability and sharing with all! Learn more about this land:Pitch your tents or sleep under the stars (and yes, you can see stars here) under a magical oak and hickory canopy. Enjoy a walk around the farm and see all things -- pastured cows, sheep, pigs, chickens moving and living as creation intended! Visit the farm store and take some pastured meats back to the fire! Ease your mind and soul by the fire and listen to "the calm." Beautiful site, please come and enjoy! You will be different departing then arrived!
