Stories from the community

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Accommodation was amazing, I brought own wood but it was still provided. The morning rise over the mountain was breathtaking. Family doggy was so sweet. We ate breakfast together. I offered a tip, they said no thank you. I will be back. A+++ experiance.!

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

This spot was remote and secluded but easy to get to. It is surrounded by a beautiful creek and host Aaron thought of everything. This was truly a peaceful escape with the comforts of home but wild enough to feel truly refreshed. My pup Roxy and I cannot wait to be back.

5 nights at Handyland

Beautiful and open space foe camping. The views, weather and property where better than expected. My boys loved the creek! We typically like to not stay in the same place twice but this might be an exception. Keep in mind this is tick country so come prepared and check often.

1 night at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Kimberly was a welcoming and informative host. She had all the local restaurants and a map of hiking places available. I plan to stop by again.

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

We had a wonderful stay at the Kilns! The location was incredibly convenient—just a short drive to many of the main attractions in Red River Gorge. The hostess, Kim, was very friendly and welcoming, and the overall environment was peaceful and relaxing. We especially appreciated the list of recommended locations she provided; it helped us make the most of our time exploring the area. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to The Retreat at High Rock

Awesome place to stay. Definitely hope to go back. The tent was clean & comfy, the area was beautiful & quiet, and the shower house was an unexpected surprise. Very nice shower amenities. Easy access and easy check in. Highly recommend!

2 nights at The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

We think Carli’s place is absolutely beautiful. It’s quiet and there are beautiful views a short hike from the camp spot. And the camp spot has an incredible deck to sit on and watch the natural surroundings. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain but even still it was a wonderful getaway and we will definitely come back!!!!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

We had a great time tent camping at Possum Ridge! The camp sites were beautiful and spaced out so we had privacy. The bath house was very clean and well maintained. The owners were very accommodating, they checked on us once a day to make sure we were ok and provided drinks and popsicles for the kids along with coffee and other necessities at the common area. We definitely would come back and recommend this place to others!

1 night at Farm and Forest

We had a lovely night all to ourselves on this spacious farm on our drive from Virginia to Colorado . Our dogs loved it! Plenty of games and fun things for kids, including disc golf. We had a couple of questions and the host was very responsive..

1 night at Waterfront on The Edge

I loved the tent camping at Nikki's land! Nikki's supportive, kinda and helpful! The campgrounds and restrooms were clean. There's nice creek alongside the campgrounds and it's truly an adventurous experience! I loved it!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Host was great! Went out of his way to bring us firewood. So kind. Beautiful property. We would definitely stay here again!

1 night at Backwoods Hideaway

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Great place to relax and hike! It was quiet and peaceful. The owners was always helpful and quick to respond to questions. We plan on coming back hopefully sooner than later.

Weekend Trip to Handyland

I loved tent camping here! The property is gorgeous and so well maintained, and the hospitality is unmatched. I brought my kids here for their first “real” camping trip and we loved every single minute of it- thanks so much for having us!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! Our kids loved playing in the open spaces and we loved the quiet evenings by the campfire. Lovely spot!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Beautiful property with several spots. We chose to tent camp with electricity in order to work during Friday day and was placed near the stage. We had a wide open space with nice views of the farm. We enjoyed walking the trails. Next time, we will try primitive camping at one of the more private and shady sites. There were a few other campers there which was nice to chat. We were offered the use of the bathroom at the house which worked well for us. Overall, a great stay.

Weekend Trip to Trace Space KY

We really can’t say enough good things about this space and the host. The space is incredibly relaxing and comfortable. The birdwatching is amazing. And the garden was beautiful. My wife spent the weekend identifying and researching all of the plants in the garden. We were visited each day by a variety of birds including (but not limited to) Red Headed Woodpeckers, Orchard Orioles, Brown Thrashers, Cardinals, Cedar Waxwings, and many others. MJ was incredibly friendly and accommodating, answering any question we had very quickly. She is simply the most thoughtful and kind host. We highly recommend staying here.

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Land was beautiful! Horses were beautiful! It was so quiet and serene on the land. And close to gas and stores. Hosts were so sweet. They told us about the horses and their names. Kim was very welcoming. She offered to give us a canopy for the rain, she let us use the music stage to hang out hammocks and cook. She even let us plug our electric vehicle into the music stage. We had a wonderful stay, would highly recommend :)

Fiskburg Holler

1 site · Tent3 acres · De Mossville, KY

Tucked away in the rolling hills of rural Kenton County, Kentucky, Fiskburg Holler is a 3-acre haven that beckons campers seeking a authentic connection with nature. This idyllic retreat offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and natural beauty, making it an ideal escape for those craving tranquility away from the bustle of everyday life. The property features a serene pond, ideal for quiet contemplation or in the evenings a closeness with nature as the bullfrogs sing their song. An old deer blind, weathered yet sturdy, serves as a rustic vantage point for spotting local wildlife, while a charming footbridge spans a gentle stream, to the secluded lower camp. Reaching the lower camp requires a walk down a hill, with a peaceful spot to pitch tents and gather around a crackling campfire under a canopy of stars. Fiskburg Holler also serves as an excellent base camp for hunters exploring the region, though hunting is not permitted on the property itself. Fortunately, Kenton County and its surrounding areas offer ample public hunting grounds, making it easy for outdoor enthusiasts to pursue their passion nearby. With its blend of natural features and rustic allure, Fiskburg Holler invites campers to unplug and immerse themselves in the simplicity of the outdoors. Whether you’re drawn to the calm of the pond, the adventure of the hill, or the chance to explore nearby hunting opportunities, this hidden gem in Kentucky’s countryside promises an unforgettable retreat for nature lovers, adventurers, and those seeking a moment of peace in the wild.

Close to Adventure

1 site · RV, Tent44 acres · Frenchburg, KY

My place is secluded and peaceful. Its a wooded country setting and is a primitive site. There are no facilities or utilities, there is an outhouse/self composting (follow up your business with dropping leaves in after). It may not be suitable for children as there are active brush/wood burn piles on the land. See all photos and ask questions, please. I want it to be enjoyable for all who book. It’s also noteworthy that there are dogs in the area that roam free, it’s way out in the country, there are no leash laws. I’ve never had any issues with unfriendly dogs, but always be aware. It’s at a dead end road, no thru traffic. You can stay and enjoy some amazing stargazing, (there is minimal lighting and a very dark, clear view of the night sky) and lots of peace and quiet or explore the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounding the property or travel a short distance and see so many nearby amazing areas…Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park, NADA Tunnel, Sky Bridge, Cave Run Lake, Twin Knobs and Zilpo Recreation Areas, Carter Caves State Park, Grayson Lake, Rudy’s Ranch.

The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Frenchburg, KY

When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision? We're a family that loves to camp; and while we love a stop at a KOA or community campground, we sometimes crave quiet time in nature without the noise and distraction of other campers. That's what makes The LAAAAND so special. The property is comprised of 50 pristine acres, with a mix of fields and woods, that bump up against another 250 acres owned by our family friends. The southern perimeter of the property is all cliff line, so you feel truly remote. The possibilities of sound pollution are limited to a far-off dog barking, horses being ridden down a nearby trail, or the possible hum of a distant lumber yard. Other than that, you'll mostly hear the wind rustling trees, deer and critters making their way through the woods, and possibly a waterfall at certain times of the year. Oh, and you will absolutely hear whipoorwhills, most likely at a time you'd rather not (we've decided they're charming). Over the nearly 2 decades we've owned this property we have spent countless weekends enjoying the simplest of pleasures; watching butterflies dance in the tree canopy, having dance parties at sunset on the deck, forging new trails and hiking into the unkown, sitting in the truck bed late at night gazing at a star-covered sky counting shooting stars. If you are looking for a space and place to reset and reconnect, The LAAAAND is waiting for you. (***Please note, we leave our personal camper on the property for the camping season, so you will see it when you arrive to the right of the campsite***)
