Tent

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Nice bathrooms and space for fire pit and campsite. Sites were a bit close, but still a nice spot.

1 night at Noble Pine Campground

This site was wonderful for our family visiting Mammoth Cave. Kristen was a joy to talk with and very responsive. The animals were lovely to see and interact with, the bathrooms were clean, and the site had everything we needed. Couldn't have asked for a better place. We would love to stay again if we visit again.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Timbers Homestead

Wonderful place to stay. Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed our stay.

17 nights at Maple Shade Farm full hookup site

Ditto and Stan were very hospitable. They met me at the site on arrival with a gift and offered their assistance throughout my stay if needed. Enjoyed my two and a half week stay there.

1 night at Beardsnest

My experience at the Hickory Field Campsite on Kevin’s land was exceptional. His directions were clear and the information he provided regarding the site was right on. I had such a lovely and peaceful night enjoying the campfire and the scenery. Additionally, Kevin’s friendliness and welcoming nature made me feel so content and safe while staying on his land. His 3 pups were also a highlight!!

Weekend Trip to On the back of the farm

Super private and our hosts hospitality was superb!! Fishing was great if you’re willing to hop in the water a bit and get dirty :) 10/10

2 nights at Hidden Timbers Homestead

We loved this property! It was convenient, easy to find, spacious, and extremely well-kept! The family there was super friendly and helpful. The amenities are superior to most places I have camped. Some of the highlights were the fire pits, hammocks, and bath and shower (with HOT water!) We also got a nice list of recommended things to do and places to go from the hosts. 10/10

3 nights at Beardsnest

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kevin's Frisbee Lawn. It was the perfect location for the 3 days we were exploring the Mammoth Cave area. Kevin gave great recommendations of things for us to do in the area, he and his family are extremely friendly, and are very accommodating hosts. We appreciated the ease of getting to the campsite, the amount of seclusion/privacy the site offered, and the accessibility to amenities like the power hook-up. We enjoyed our peaceful evenings cooking on the campfire and watching the lightning bugs. Most of all we were happy to be contributing to a good cause. We would definitely stay here again.

1 night at Camp Nashville Highland Rim

Easy to find. Just as described. Very serene. Lots of wildlife. Beautiful location.

1 night at On the back of the farm

Easy in and easy out. This site is secluded and literally on the back side of a corner field. It was quiet and you can see the lake down the hill from site 1. Recommend for an overnight as that was how long my travel plans allowed.

1 night at The Slab (by the Barren)

The slab was beautiful. Very peaceful and exactly what we needed for quick get away

1 night at The Slab (by the Barren)

Great place to stay! Peaceful area with a stream access. Loved getting the chance to take time to enjoy nature and relax. My pup loved the area and enjoyed a good swim! Carrie and company were very nice and flexible. Only note: two friendly dogs came to greet us while initially pulling up to the slab. Normally I would have no care in the world about this since they were both friendly and happy pups. But they did jump on our truck and left scratches. So just be prepared to jump out and halt the dogs from scratching your car. Otherwise, great place!

4 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Was a beautiful farm setting close to Mammoth Caverns National Park Park. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Horses n chickens. Enjoy our stay very much. Awesome sunset n stars, unless there are clouds. Loved the country air.

1 night at Noble Pine Campground

Kristen and her husband were wonderful hosts! They were very accommodating and friendly during our short stay. Theor property is so serene, we lived seeing all their farm animals roaming around. Our campsite was a good size, with its own firering, water spigot, and picnic table. Bathrooms were very clean and we really appreciated the hot water after spending 3 days backpacking! We will definitely stay here again should we find ourselves near Mammoth. Thank you for your hospitality!

Weekend Trip to The Slab (by the Barren)

My husband, our 2 Shih Tzu’s, and I came here for a relaxing weekend and it did not disappoint!! Carrie and the crew were very nice and helpful. They have two dogs that are friendly too!!! There is water slides, dirt bike/ four wheel trails and plenty of camping areas. The water is amazing and clear!! We will definitely be back soon! We highly recommend this camping spot ❤️

Weekend Trip to Run-A-Muck on the Red River

Great plot of land out in Adams. Probably the best spot to camp within 30 min to an hour drive. Great star gazing opportunities. Will be back any time I feel like camping around the Clarksville area.

Weekend Trip to Noble Pine Campground

Beautiful property, amazingly clean bathroom and showers and very friendly owner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND I loved this place.

Weekend Trip to On the back of the farm

Camping at “Cornfield by the Lake” is always super enjoyable! It’s well maintained and easy to find, as well as the host goes above and beyond with communication!

Weekend Trip to The Slab (by the Barren)

I’ve been to the Slab a few times for some mud therapy on my ATV, took my 4 year old Tubing down the river. This weekend I decided to test the waters on an overnight tent trip with my son and family. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and the beauty of the property. The lighting bugs after sunset was sooo beautiful we were able to get some amazing videos of it. The owners are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We will definitely be back and telling all our friends. They have just gone through, marked and groomed their ATV trails. I was very impressed and can’t wait for my next alone ride when I can really let loose!

Weekend Trip to Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

Super friendly host, two beautiful distinct sites. Horses were lovely. Would not stay at the top site unless you are a lover of horses 🤣🤣!

Country Charm, City Convenience

1 site · RV, Tent10 acres · Gallatin, TN

Country livin', just 3 miles from Gallatin Square! Site is easy-in, easy-out and even has a deck you can pull right up to, to enjoy the perfect sunset. Full sewer, water, and electrical hookups with trash removal once a week. Plenty of parking. Owners also live on the property, which is fully enclosed in trees, with a small pond and creek (when it rains); open to you for a peaceful walk in nature anytime. There is also plenty of outdoor space for growing a garden, outdoor games, or playing with the kids. It’s awesome to be so close to the city and still be able to enjoy an evening around a real campfire (with permit), while gazing up at the stars. We will be happy to share with you all the amazing places nearby to go for live music and great food, and we are also hoping you have time to enjoy Tennessee for its natural beauty. We have been told that there are more waterfalls here in Tennessee than any other state in the nation, and the ones we have seen so far are gorgeous! There are also tons of water sports, parks, hunting, and more history than anyone can learn about in a lifetime. No smoking, vaping, or hunting on the property. We live near a busy family farm. You will hear farm noise during your stay and may also smell some farm smells on days when the wind is blowing this direction (not often, but sometimes). If this is an issue for you, or anyone in your party, please do not make a reservation. We will not provide refunds. We expect that you'll be respectful of our property and the hard work and love it takes to maintain it. If that's amenable for you, then we'd love to have you come visit!

The Slab (by the Barren)

80 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents500 acres · Gamaliel, KY

Welcome to Heaven on Earth for those that love the Great Outdoors!! If you cant find something to do here then you obviously don't want to do anything and thats ok we have ya covered there too!! We will be hosting some special events in 202at we would like to make you aware of first thing so you can plan your visit accordingl Tanking, kayaking, camping and the trails will remain OPEN year round!! Now that all of that is out of the way... Let me introduce you to our little hidden gem in scenic Monroe county Kentucky. The Slab by the Barren campground is an outdoor recreation area like no other!!! We are the perfect place for all of your family fun in the sun!!! We have 75 very large shaded primitive sites spread out all over our 500 acre farm with nice gravel roads to most of the campsites. We do NOT have any hookups but can accommodate RV's on most sites and you are welcome to run a quiet generator. ( We will be setting up at least 3 sites this winter with hook ups for Rvs. Please follow us here or on facebook for updates on those sites) Sites 1 - 40 are located on the banks of Salt Lick creek and Barren River with direct water access. The gravel bars are open for all campers to enjoy. Camping areas A, B, and C are spread out across different sections of the farm. Even though they aren't directly on the water you are still welcome to go down to the creek at any site and swim and fish and just enjoy the water. If you need any help in choosing the perfect site for your stay feel free to message me or call the office at (812)653-0102 and I will help in anyway I can. On to our amenities!!!! THE BARN!! Is our converted milk barn where Kent and his mother Linda used to milk cows. The tank room is now our office for check in and camp store that we try to keep stocked with the best ice cream and anything else you might have forgotten at home. The old milk parlor where they actually milked the cows has been converted into 4 separate shower houses that are open 24/7. The Holding barn is currently undergoing some major changes this winter. It was such a large room that we have decided, in order to maximize its space, to split the barn in half and make 2 separate areas out of it. The front half by the showers will remain the kids and family play area, it will still have the pool and air hockey tables, family friendly games, tables and chairs. We will be adding more games to this area this winter and adding some exciting outdoor activities for the whole family for this summer. The other half of the barn is currently becoming the Jenkins Joint at The Slab. The Joint will be our full service bar where those 21 and older can enjoy a cold beverage, a game of pool, live music, karaoke, or just hang out. We will have a food truck set up every Friday thru Sunday until we get our kitchen completed and can serve our own food. The food truck and the kitchen will be available for anyone that would like to order food, especially those that check in late and don't feel like cooking their first night. KAYAKING!!! Take a relaxing paddle down the river in your kayak or ours. We have multiple trips 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 miles and offer a shuttle service, and kayak rentals for those that don't have their own. LAZY RIVER TUBING!!!! Go with the flow in your tube or ours and float your cares away on our 2 mile float down Barren River. Float as many times as you would like per day, stop at the rope swing, or hang out at your campsite and then take off again. TANKING!!! Yes you read that right we now offer Tanking!! I'm sure you have never heard of it but let me tell you, as one group of campers exclaimed... "It is the most genius, redneck, fun thing we have ever done". Depending on the size of your group we will either put you in a 6ft or 8ft round metal cattle water tank and float you 2 miles down the river in it!! We have designed them for the maximum amount of fun and relaxation you can have on the water without getting wet... unless you want to. We have installed benches in them so all you need to bring is your cooler and friends and come spend the day on the river with new unique experience. FISHING!! Multiple fishing holes where you can catch stripe, small mouth, rock bass, Kentucky bass, channel cats, flat heads, and walleye on a regular basis. HIKING We have trails all over the farm from the scenic views on top of the bluffs to the quiet spring fed slate rock holler there is a trail for everyone to enjoy while you explore the farm. WATER SLIDE!!!! On the upper side of the Slab bridge is a 75 ft long water slide into one of our many swimming holes. It is steep and fast and you are sure to make a splash!!! SLIP N SLAB 600!!!! New at the end of 2023... is my Greatest Creation!! The Slip N Slab 600. What is it you might ask.... well.... It is the LONGEST Slip N Slide in ALL of Kentucky!! Come take a ride down our 600 Ft long Slip N Slide!! It starts up at the top of the hill by the office and you slide down the natural hollar and end in the pond just below the amphitheater. It really is Fun for the WHOLE Family!! We have had people as young a 2 and as old as 73 slide down it and each and every one of them came back up to the top with a smile on their face and was ready to do it again!! NOW ON TO THE RULES!!!! NO OUTSIDE FIRE WOOD!!! We sell large bundles for $10 at the camp store. We DO NOT allow ANY outside fire wood to be brought onto the farm!! DO NOT CUT DOWN ANY TREES ON THE FARM NO MATTER HOW SMALL!!! CAMPSITES WILL BE CHECKED AFTER YOUR STAY. IF WE FIND ANY TREES CUT DOWN ON YOUR SITE YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND WILL BE CHARGED 7 TIMES THE MATURE VALUE OF THE DAMAGED TREE. BOOKING A CAMPSITE AT THE SLAB BY THE BARREN THRU THIS SITE MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS. We hate to have to do this but we have had trees chopped down for no reason. There is firewood available at the camp store and you are welcome to burn anything laying on the ground, trim low hanging branches, or pull stuff out of our brush piles. just don't cut down any trees. NO GLASS BOTTLES ARE ALLOWED ON THE FARM!! If we see them we will confiscate and dispose of them!! We are a WATER park and people run around barefoot. The last thing we need is broken glass all over the farm and people cutting their feet. So leave the GLASS AT HOME!! DIRT BIKES AND ATVS ARE NOW ALLOWED ON THE FARM!! Rider be respectful of our campers and ONLY ride on the designated trails!! There are idle only areas around Pickett Bottom cabin and ALL Campsites. If you are caught riding with throttle down the gravel roads in the campground or thru campsites you will be given ONE WARNING!! THE SECOND TIME it happens YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE IMPOUNDED for the remainder of your stay and you will receive A LIFETIME RIDING BAN FROM OUR CAMPGROUND. Be respectful and courteous and we will all have a great time!! We are trying to be inclusive to new activities while still staying the quiet peaceful slice of heaven that everyone has come to love. Please bear with us while we grow and try to work with everyone to make the Slab a place that everyone can enjoy.

A recent addition to our already spacious and secluded bed and breakfast. A tremendous wooded area with trails, woods, water and an awesome camping/fire pit area! If you enjoy watching the stars after a delicious, over the campfire cooked meal, you'll love the sights, sounds and smells of backwoods Kentucky. The land is bordered by a winding, twisting river that is ample enough for bathing, boating and/or fishing that seems to go on for days. Idea for overnight stays, weekend getaways or family or group gatherings.Learn more about this land:A long flowing log trail that travels through gorgeous woods and time then temporarily halts at the centerpiece campsite for fire, food and laughs. Space around a stone framed fire pit for up to 5 tents to enjoy peace or family at the same time. Off you continue along a groomed 4 wheel trail that guides you past our deer plot, beaver workings, stretches of wild low lands and a refreshing creek for swimming, fishing, boating, you name it! The main camp site is about a :15 minute hike off the main road but close enough to receive support if required.

Beardsnest

5 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · Cave City, KY

This new-in-formation ecological art project is currently recruiting visitors to backcountry camp in beautiful fields, on woodland rim sites, or at delicate campsites located along a system of woodland trails. As of 2025, camping here provides a glimpse into the fourth year of succession, which at this phase is characterized by spacious views of a gently rolling young prairie seeded with a growing variety of native flowers. Most likely a good fit for those who are self-sufficient and like to avoid busy camping areas, but still want to get out to the park quickly (~7 miles to the Visitors Center) or travel into Cave City (3 mi) for coffee/ice-cream/pizza/barbecue/bar/food/etc. Expand from the campsite into a sketch-work of trails, as if were camping near the headquarters of a satellite nature reserve. Water tap and hose by main house parking area, for cleaning dishes, spraying off, or filling reservoirs. Camping funds allow us to plant trees (~525 seedlings as of March 2025), establish prairie grasses and flowers, restore wetlands, create trails, and remove invasive species. If you have only 3 days, a nice way to experience Mammoth Cave NP is to break the trip into 3 layers, covering the underworld (cave tours!), upper world (hiking), and the water that connects the two (Green River kayaking). Mammoth Cave is unique in the way that a study of the underworld will repeatedly draw the mind into a creative space of imagining what is beneath the surface, how these worlds are connected, while navigating the land and water. Thanks to our visitors for supporting this type of project! Bundles of dried and split firewood are available onsite, usually a mix of red cedar and oak with a suggested donation of $6/bundle. We also share kayaks (Perception Sound 10.5) now on a suggested donation basis ($45), providing a flexible option for visitors to float the Green River through the national park. Pending availability, we offer tent setups as well to folks who want to camp but aren't traveling with gear (REI 4 person Half Dome). Tent setup comes with two sleeping pads (you will need pillows, blankets, etc.).

Run-A-Muck on the Red River

17 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Adams, TN

As a child I grew up on the river, canoeing down Red River and even playing on this very piece of property. Thirteen years ago my best friend and I started a canoe and kayak company to allow people to experience the same things that we experienced as children. We have met thousands of people and had opportunities to become friends with many of them. We look forward to seeing them every year. Three years ago we were able to purchase this piece of property for the kayak company and watch it grow into more than we ever thought it would be. It's almost surreal owning a piece of property that you played on as a kid. We are very thankful to have it and share it with others, and hope that they'll have some of the same experiences that we have had on it. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent or hammock (where available) next to the Red River, across the river from Port Royal State Park and adjacent to the historic Trail of Tears. You can camp along the river or out in the open. Seven minutes from the interstate (exit 8 or 11 on I-24). You can fish or swim in the river, try local restaurants in Clarksville, or just hang out and enjoy being outside. If you want to make a reservation to go kayaking, visit the website Runamuckoutfitters.com Also on site is a food truck called "The Dairy Dog", where you can enjoy craft hotdogs, tater tots, pub chips, milkshakes, and beer. They are open Friday-Sunday from 11-8.

Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

4 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.please understand that my horses are of all ages and that includes young ones and babies and seniors as well. The young ones like to be nosey and are still learning what they are allowed to do and what not to do. They are naturally curious and love attention. If they think you have snacks , they can act like a pack of kindergarteners with the promise of cupcakes...we don't want that but because some campers think they are the exception and gave them snacks, it is something we have to monitor more closely. Remember they are animals and they will get into anything if it's left unattended. Please be a responsible camper and ensure we all stay safe and enjoy the experience.We have a 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.
