Beautiful property! My husband and I brought our two dogs for a peaceful weekend in our travel trailer. The location had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed several hiking trails in the area, grilled delicious meals under the large shelter, and relaxed by the fire with a perfect view of the stars. This location exceeded our expectations and the onsite bathroom was a bonus! We highly recommend this spot and will be back next fall!

I just got back from a 3 night stay at Savys Retreat and I’m already planning my next trip. It’s in a beautiful part of Kentucky, especially in the fall. The property sits down a dead end road, single lane but well maintained, and it’s one of the last places out there so it’s quiet, private, and peaceful.
Everything about the site is well thought out and taken care of. You can tell the owners take pride in it. The setup felt more like an RV resort than a campsite, plenty of space, clean, and everything you could need. I spent my evenings sitting by the fire watching the sunset, then stayed out until the stars came out. Hard to beat that.
The hosts were quick to respond, friendly, and made sure everything was just right.
If you’re looking for a relaxing, private spot to unwind, this is it.

My 5 nights here were awesome! It's out in the woods on a curvy mountain road on the side of a hill with a level packed gravel site under a cover. The dead end road to it is 1 lane with few neighbors and is very peaceful. The covered site and the half bath were great. Absolutely the best Hipcamp out of the 7 I have stayed at for sure. Squirrels barking in the trees, and hoot owls at night, and a great firepit with wood......a great place to chill out and unwind! I will definitely be back next Spring with my Harley to ride the awesome twisty, curvy mountain roads in the area! I hiked Turkey Foot, West and East Pinnacle trails and Flat Rock trail. It's 20 minutes to Berea with many places to shop and eat.

We just took our little renovated camper out for the very first time, and this spot could not have been more perfect. What a magical place! It was private, spacious, and such a wonderful fit for myself, my husband, and our two-year-old. The bathroom with a toilet and sink was such a welcome addition—such a convenience that made things so much easier.
We loved having a fire, slowing down, and just enjoying the quiet. It was incredibly peaceful—you couldn’t hear cars or any outside noise, just the stillness of nature. Exactly what we were hoping for. Truly the perfect getaway.

This camp site is well laid out, so private, and peaceful. We hadn't camped in a long time and wanted to be some place we could take our dog and just be away from the noise. This was it. Clean, well taken care of, and even though it's a bit off the beaten path, it's still not too far from Berea if you want to shop or go hiking. There's so much space you don't feel closed in. Rare thing at a campsite. The last few miles of the drive are narrow and winding so be prepared for that.

2d is the best! We had such a good time and are definitely planning a return trip. All the glamp sites are amazing if you want to stay in a structure instead of a tent. Our R/V spot was amazing and we enjoyed having the showers right there next to our site. We enjoyed playing in the river, fishing, running around in the fields and watching for all the wildlife. The sky gazing at night was amazing as well! Thank you 2d for sharing your little slice of heaven with my family!

Savvy Retreat is absolutely awesome. Especially if you are searching for peace and solitude. It’s a single campsite in the middle of nowhere designed for maximizing “getting away from everything”. If that is what you’re searching for then Savvy Retreat is a must. If you’re looking for activities close by, search elsewhere. If you’re looking for socialization, search elsewhere. This is a retreat for you away from all things crazy in your life.
There are lights under the shelter for nighttime “whatever”. There are games. There is a fabulous bathroom (no shower) so that you don’t have to use the tiny bathroom in your rv. Horseshoes…check. Pet lines for 3 pets…check. Fire pit and fire wood…check. Picnic table…check. Places to hang lights…check. Flat drive thru….check. Easy pull around driveway…check. Swings and hammock…check.
Savvy Retreat is for solitude. Peace away from mayhem. Full hookups for ease.
Need space? Need no one around you? Need no family activities (all about 1.5 hours away) then schedule Savvy Retreat now. You’ll love it. We did. It recharged our life batteries perfectly. T & K

This is, by far, the nicest campsite (Hipcamp or otherwise) I have ever been to, and I've been camping since childhood. The host's attention to detail in the beauty and amenties of the site are obvious. One word of caution, do not use Waze for GPS to the site, or you will get very, very heckin lost down dead-end dirt roads (not fun). Use the host's directions to supplement Google for GPS. Google will at least get you on the correct roads where you can then follow both the host's directions and signs to this beautiful site.

I camped here with my husband and two young daughters. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. They were quick to give us a tour of the area and the specifics of the amenities offered. They periodically checked in with us during our stay to see how it was going or if we needed anything. Great people.
There were canoes and two fishing poles, with lures, to use in both of their fish-filled ponds. They graciously offered us use of their fridge/freezer and some refreshments and popsicles inside.
The salt water pool was everything you could want. A large 3 ft area for standing along with a deeper end for the slide and spring board. They offered several pool toys and life jackets. We were in the pool nonstop.
The bathroom was clean and stocked with travel size soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and make up wipes. The pavilion kitchen was large with a microwave, toaster oven, and table top propane BBQ grill.
The RV parking spot was well maintained gravel with a 50 amp hookup. Water connection if needed.
We made such wonderful memories here. Waking up to the beautiful scenery and grazing horses was an absolute dream. The girls had an amazing time swimming, fishing, looking at the horses and running around the well maintained property. We will be back!

We stayed an entire week at Savvy’s and it was absolutely perfect. The entire property was SO clean and well kept. Cristhian and Christy thought of everything! From the spotless bathroom, to the board games and lawn games, the picnic table, beautiful firepit and most of all the porch swing! We spent hours swinging! The biggest bonus was the shelter that we were able to park our camper and truck under. It’s very large, and it is elevated, so it allowed us to be outside during every rainstorm! We would absolutely recommend Savvy’s, and we plan to come back.
Also, we found two amazing waterfalls less than half an hour away. Both are worth the hike!
