If you’ve been wanting to explore the backwoods part of Daniel Boone National Forest sans huge, busy campgrounds, Paragon Dispersed Camping Area is your best bet.

There’s a small number of pre-marked sites here, all within the Cumberland Ranger District and near Cave Run Lake. You won’t get amenities or conveniences, but the secluded and pristine woods of these parts will more than make up for your thick, musty scent. You might want to bring the baby wipes if you have camping company!

Established in 1983 on a 60-acre plot of land right in the Shawnee State Forest. The property is beautiful with flat land, fields, and at the back are the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. We put a horse farm on the land in 2000. The horses here are my family and I want to expand and offer more opportunities on the land. That's when I came across Hipcamp! I'm excited to share a piece of my heaven that I'm fortunate enough to call home.
