This area is an old tobacco and cattle farm on a point above Laurel Lake. We do a bit of farming and crafting when we can and thought we’d try and share our lovely spot! Much of the timber on the place is nearly 100 years old hardwoods, with a couple of fields throughout. I camp here myself too, and can recommend it for privacy!

South of Lexington, in the heart of the Bluegrass, our little farm is making a big impact on our community. We raise chickens for eggs and meat, sheep for lamb meat, occasionally turkeys and a wide variety of produce and berries, along with bees for honey. Our peacocks are here for pure pleasure, but we do pick up feathers and design crafts with them from time to time. Whether we're planting seeds, gathering eggs, or rounding up sheep, there's always something happening on the farm. Close by there's lots to do: golfing, fishing, boating, hiking, birding or touring the bourbon trail.

One of my favorite camping trips I've ever taken with Hipcamp! The host was the most accommodating and gracious host I've ever had, full stop. The property is gorgeous and the sites are spread out enough that it feels secluded and private. The facilities that were available were clean and stocked. Everything was 5 star worthy!

Staying at Sticky Wicket Farms was a great experience in no small part due to the wonderful host Leslie. We opted for the quiche and cinammon rolls and both were homemade, hot and delicious. Having full hook-ups was very convenient. We really enjoyed walking the drive and seeing the animals. Thank you, Leslie!!

I loved staying at this site and Bridgett was such a good host! I originally went to car camp for a few days and unfortunately it rained the first 2 days, Bridgett offered me to switch to the cabin and I was beyond grateful! Instead of being stuck inside my car all day I was able to enjoy the cabin by the lake, it was so cozy and I got to watch the rain on the lake from the covered porch, which was just magical. Despite the rain I had a great time and the property is beautiful! Bridgett is a great host and went above and beyond for my stay here.

I picked this spot to camp because of the proximity to Mount Sterling Court days. Perfect spot for tent or teardrop dispersed camping. Tim and Rhonda were very helpful. Met several neighbors and acquaintances during Saturday's campfire and they're just all good people. I'm inclined to think that I'm going to make this an annual sojourn. It was more like visiting friends than a campground.

Host was super communicative, and the property was secluded, and GORGEOUS.
I would, without a doubt, book again. Close enough to Natural Bridge that it’s not a terrible drive, but far enough away to be able to enjoy a peaceful time away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and tourists.
I absolutely loved the location.

This was a nice camping spot that felt very secluded. There were a few spots, we ended up near the cabin and it was a good campsite with a fire pit and picnic table. To get to the campsites you drive back through the woods on a gravel road. Would definitely stay again.

By far, the best camping experience we have had in our decades of camping! Sites are large and spread out, area is super quiet, bathhouse is super clean with great water pressure. Best part is the community feel; owners encourage interaction with things like a community fire pit, and we had a lovely night with our fellow campers! There is even fresh produce for the taking, a huge dog park, and a wonderful outdoor play area (with clay pit!) for kids. We will be back!
