Stories from the community

1 night at Buck Run RV Retreat

Had a great 1-night visit at the campsite on the way back from bringing a new NuCamp Barefoot travel trailer down from Michigan to NC. First time ever for us camping and it was perfect. Great directions, easy access, and easy connection to 30AMP power. We didn't have a water hose with us to connect, but Daniel brought us one to borrow and even helped us connect it. He is awesome and we will definitely stay there again if in the area. Beautiful land and peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Private Forest Campsite

As advertised - nice and quiet for an escape to nature. Check out the pond, check out the trails. I saw a turtle, chipmunks, deer and an eagle. I also heard the owls all night but I never saw them... Highly recommend

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

Kelli and her husband were incredible. After meeting both for mere minutes I felt like i had been a friend for years. Then friend and family camp is huge beyond belief. The other sites I saw were all very private and more than spacious. They are all in the steep hills of Kentucky though and when they say they recommend four wheel drive, believe them, but you can still enjoy their camps. They were more than happy to haul my gear to camp in their side-by-side when my motorcycle couldn’t make it so don’t let that scare you. This place is worth the adventure!

1 night at Buck Run RV Retreat

Property was great! We wish we had the time to book more nights. The hosts were wonderful. Will recommend to others!

Weekend Trip to Buck Run RV Retreat

PERFECTION!! This is exactly what we needed for a quick getaway with our pups! Quiet and isolated but a complete full hook up! No fireworks to scare the pups! The owner of the land checked on us both days and gave us a bag full of red potatoes straight from his garden! We sliced and cooked them up over the fire and brought the rest home. Lovely scenery and beautiful people at a reasonable price! Our dogs were able to run and play without leashes too! Quick walk through the woods if you wanna go fishing and short drive to Hocking Hills as well. We will definitely come back here if we just need some peaceful R&R!!

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

This site is so nice. It's the perfect spot to unwind and relax with your spouse or chill with your family. We were lucky enough to be there on the 4th of July (also my birthday) Aaron was so nice and invited us to his get together and fireworks. We had such a good time, and got to meet some of his family too. They were just as sweet and welcoming as Aaron, the all even made it a point to come tell me happy birthday too. His daughter and her husband were my favorite part of the weekend! She is so sweet and her husband is the same. We didn't really go exploring, as we just wanted a relaxing weekend, not exploring weekend. We did however venture to the little gas station down the road, they have really good food! We really just hung around and did whatever. It was so nice. The cabin is really nice, the host really has thought of everything in there. The bathroom is even outside, which really gave it an added touch of charm. He has completely stocked that place, he has everything a lady would need. The site itself was so beautiful, especially at night. It's really the perfect amount of off grid camping to disconnect, but enough convenience to create an amazing camp site. We will be back for sure!!

3 nights at Buck Run RV Retreat

Excellent spot, great sites, peaceful surroundings, the fishing was fun and the Daniel's were very accommodating. Lovely property easy for us to get our 32ft Class C with tow vehicle in and out. We will certainly be back! My dogs loved it!

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

Great hosts and wonderful place to stay (need a 4x4) and they have a phenomenal communal area with a small pond.

4 nights at Myhio Haven Horse Farm

It is a primitive campsite, so don't expect state park amenities, but you can expect privacy. You are only a few miles from Shawnee State Park if you want to take advantage of their activities. Tree coverage was mother nature's umbrella during heavy rains and the fishing and swimming were great. Getting to the campsite was a brief adventure, so you absolutely need 4 wheel drive. I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

It was a wonderful weekend camping with awesome views of sunsets and nature. The hosts are super nice and extremely helpful. I highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Limestone Bluffs

We enjoyed camping here, it was a great spot as first time campers and we were able to use our SUV tent, we had no issues. It was beautiful and peaceful!

3 nights at Buck Run RV Retreat

Felt very private, was easy to find and having full hook up was great!

3 nights at Buck Run RV Retreat

3 nights at Buck Run RV Retreat

Weekend Trip to Camp Comatose

Great spot and fantastic hosts!! Would highly recommend d to anyone traveling through the area!!!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

My family loved camping at the Peachtree site. It felt secluded even though we were just down the path from the amenities that families need. The views on the farm were breathtaking and we enjoyed the feeling of privacy we had at our site. The kids are already talking about coming back.

Weekend Trip to Myhio Haven Horse Farm

Janine and Clinton’s property was beautiful and well kept/maintained. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. The campsite was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable as well and made sure that if we needed anything during our stay to let them know. We hope to return to this campsite in the future!

Weekend Trip to Limestone Bluffs

Finding the turn for the property was a bit tricky as the sign is covered by foliage but other than that directions were very straightforward! Our site was nestled in the back and was perfectly shaded to beat the heat! Everyone (pup included) was able to enjoy without being miserable in the heat/humidity. Great site for us to be able to have 2 hammocks, kitchen station, tent and dog zipline tie out set up and not feel cramped. Toilet was really well kept and just steps away from the site so really convenient. Wish the trails were more clearly marked or communicated though. There was also a picnic table in a center location that could be used and great spot for stargazing. Would come back!

Weekend Trip to Limestone Bluffs

Located on the back of the loop, the wolves site felt very secluded! The tent platform made for an easy setup. We were able to barely get a 10x10 tent on it while using ground stakes and tie outs for the anchors. Site was clean as well as the bathroom. My only suggestion, noticed with Hipcamp in general, bring your own wood. The wood stack was completely empty and when we asked ahead of time about it, the response felt automated in favor of not needing to bring your own supply. We ended up grabbing a bundle ahead of time based on other reviews. Other than the wood, this was a great camp and we’d surely revisit!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

The best all around experience you could ask for! We had essentially a whole hilltop to ourselves, with beautiful views of both the sunset and sunrise. The grass was cut, area clean, and the closest neighbors were about a 1/4 mile away - which allowed our dog to have a great and unbothered time. The water spicket right in the campsite was a bonus! Not far up the road were full bathrooms with showers, and a very nice common area with games and amenities for anyone. The hosts were communicative and friendly, it’s very clear they take care of this place. A great time and we hope to return!

Oasis Point Rv Resort & Adventure Lake

36 sites · RVs4 acres · Ashland, KY

We're a small 46-site campground that's owned by a local family. Our families have been here in Boyd County for generations. Our family dream has been in the works for many years. At the end of 21, the dream of having a campground in Ashland KY, had actually come to reality. We had the spot we had been looking for after many years. The spot that would allow us to create a world-class resort right here in our hometown of Ashland in Boyd County KY. A dream that will bring to life a place where countless generations will come to create memories that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. We are a multi-member family business. It's ok. We've been successful in creating several other businesses together, so we're prepared to work together and see this dream fully come true. Our family consists of people that are Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Wives, and husbands. A couple are now even grandparents. But we are always, family first and that means our friends and team members too. Our goal is to create another business that not only creates a place to come have a great time. It's our goal to create a campground in our hometown area of Ashland KY, Huntington WV, and Southern OH where our team members are able to work and live a great life. Our mission is to take the rewards of our campground business and then "Spread Kindness" throughout the community to all. Especially to those families with kids that are fighting for a better tomorrow, but just can't seem to get ahead. We will announce our weeklong kids camp one day in the very near future and the partnerships we're creating that will impact young lives right here in our community. We are not perfect, but we never give up. We change direction, but we never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. This place isn't just our dream. Oasis Point is for you. It's for our hometown. Let's Relax & Get Comfortable 4-acre lake fed by an underground spring Beach Area and Lake Swimming Zipline that ends in the water Waterslide that shoots you out into the lake.
