Stories from the community

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

We were a group of 6 disabled veterans on a faith based expedition, and this place was perfect! No one around and an amazing location! We stayed during an amazingly powerful storm and did not have any flooding issues. Will absolutely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

10/10 experience. Keven and John were fantastic hosts. I will be back again and again, and hope you do the same. What wonderful people with such a beautiful property for us to enjoy!

3 nights at Ohio River Private Paradise

What an honor it was to stay here on Hollys Ohio River Paradise Pavilion! This place is gorgeous & pictures simply don't do it justice! The Pavilion itself gave an extra cozy feel for an easy camp kitchen set up & area to hang out & stay dry when the weather just isn't cooperating. There was more than plenty of room to set up our tent, & even with a cabin just a short distance away & within site there was plenty of trees and natural cover to tuck away & not be seen if you want a more private feel (we had the property all to ourselves so that didn't matter much to us). There is a nice and clean outhouse to use as well! The campsite is just a short walk from the river with beautiful views of the river from the campsite area itself. The fire ring was large & could hold a good size fire that several people could sit around. It was just 2 of us & it was quiet & secluded but the area is large enough that it would be an amazing group camp site. We enjoyed watching the barges & there is a train but we maybe only heard it 3-5 times the whole weekened. If your going for the fishing come prepared because it's a harder area to fish unless your experienced. Luckily we had everything we needed & caught a couple blue cats & striped bass. We also enjoyed a variety of birds & listening to the owls at night. So you may ask, beautiful place with a view, fishing, wild life, and privacy. How could it be better. The answer is Holly. She is kind, helpful, responsive, and makes you feel at home!

1 night at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Absolutely beautiful with amazing hosts! The rolling hills were a beautiful backdrop 💙

Weekend Trip to Kinner Kamping

The friends theme was amazing. It was such an amazing experience. Bathroom and shower situation was unique for sure but doable. It was great watching the friends DVDs there

1 night at Serenity Camp

This space was so great for my dog and I and our 23ft rig during our first few days of full time bus life! It was so incredibly peaceful with the birds and privacy. It is right off of a road but it doesn’t feel like it all tucked away and felt super safe. The hosts were so great and gave great recommendations that i asked for. Plus the location is great for so many things! I will definitely stay again.

2 nights at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

We loved tent camping at the Kilns!! Kim & Scott are amazing hosts that were so helpful and kind, providing us firewood and information about the area. We will definitely be back and highly recommend staying here!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Plenty of space and awesome spots to choose from, also super close to the gorge!! Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Jennifer’s farm was a perfect place to stay with our class B can. Quiet and peaceful, only 15 minutes from the UK campus, Lexington downtown and easy to get to from the interstate. The site had full 30amp hookup , water and dump. Jennifer was very helpful and went out of her way to make it an easy place to find and stay.

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Ridge

This was my second stay at Turtleback Ridge, and Keegan suggested a different spot—a little more private, scenic, and quiet as the first, and still an easy walk to the brewery. One might not think camping would lead to restful sleep the night before a bike race, but this site delivers. The hosts are incredibly helpful, gracious, and considerate. Oh, and they make some amazing beers that are worth the trip on their own. Even with the rainy weather, it was a peaceful, no-fuss place to settle in. I’ll definitely be back.

3 nights at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

The kids and I had a lovely stay at the Kilns. 😊 Our hosts were friendly, relaxed, and so thoughtful! We really appreciated that firewood was free because we were using it to cook our meals! Scott even delivered dry wood and kindling when ours got rained on! We did have to get some earplugs for the spring frogs at night but loved hearing the sounds of nature. We weren't bothered by any mosquitoes. It was a perfect close spot for visiting the RRG too! Lots of positives about this site and would recommend. We camped under the chestnut tree because we knew there was some rain in the forecast.

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Ridge

Enjoyed our time at Turtleback Ridge. Very convenient location to stay before races. Keegan is an excellent host and the Oatmeal Stout is excellent.

Weekend Trip to Kinner Kamping

We loved the Friends camper! Everything was well thought out! They even had the friends episodes on DVD and we watched them as we snuggled in for the night! The outside is adorable and has the cutest little lights. They have card games that are friends themed as well! Every detail was perfect for the theme! The only thing that would have made it better would have been a tiny microwave! The hosts are the absolute sweetest people and we would rent from them anytime!

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

We tent camped here for 4 nights as a base for exploring the Red River Gorge area. The site was perfect for us (2 adults, Jeep camping). Set up the tent on the wooden deck using some paracord to secure it in place. Amazing sunset views, privacy, and tranquility! Highly recommend! 😎

2 nights at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

The Kilns is a beautiful piece of land just ten minutes from the Red River Gorge, which was an amazing arrangement for us hikers. Kimberly was so welcoming and kind. On arrival, she gave us a whole guide packet for our stay, including a map, a list of nearby recommended restaurants, recommended hikes, and even a sticker for our water bottles. A thunderstorm hit on our second night and Kim generously let us move our tent under an awning on their property. With plenty of firewood available and a clean port-a-potty, we’d definitely stay again. Regarding the frogs: yes, they are very loud! You will not be able to ignore them, but we considered them a feature of the land and Kim warned us ahead of time that they’d be making noise. We brought ear plugs and had no trouble getting to sleep (bring them if you stay here).

1 night at Farm and Forest

Beautiful property! Very accommodating hosts, lots of communication. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Camp Middle Fork

Great area with lots to do. There was a mushroom festival in town with a car and rock show, live music etc. The host was amazing, helped with information on hiking trails and things to do in the area. Hiking trails right behind camp, and a stream very close for the kids to play and discover new things in. Our boys had a really fun time on their first camping trip! If you haven’t already, give this place a visit.

Weekend Trip to Handyland

This is a fantastic spot! This was our first time using Hipcamp, and it was such a great experience. Josh was a wonderful host- super friendly, easy to communicate with, and made sure we had everything we needed to get settled in! My dog also had an absolute blast running around and swimming in the nearby creek. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

1 night at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Awesome set up, the family was super friendly and had everything anyone could need for camping. They truly go above and beyond to make your stay amazing. I would definitely return time and time again

Weekend Trip to Kinner Kamping

It was cute and a fun place to be. Would not suggest 4 adults as the beds are not that large
