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

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!

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!

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

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Nice spot for tent camping. Good view. The train was kind of loud but it wasn't too frequent.

1 night at Kinner Kamping

This was a beautiful spot and the host was very nice. Best Hipcamp experience so far!

3 nights at Backwoods Hideaway

Absolutely loved my stay at the Backwoods Hideaway! The perfect little spot to getaway! I loved listening to all the sounds of nature, rocking away on the porch encapsulated in a good book, reading by candlelight and listening to the whipporwills and sounds of the creek flowing falling to sleep! Couldn't asked for a better escape to relax and recharge! Thank you Aaron and family for opening up your lovely cabin for all to enjoy!

Weekend Trip to Kinner Kamping

Great location and easy to get to.

Weekend Trip to Kinner Kamping

Needed a place to sleep for the night. Easy to find, signs on the property, and cameras too.

2 nights at Handyland

Josh was amazing! We were late getting there and Josh came out in the pouring rain to let us know how and where to go on his wonderful property! We'll be back!

1 night at Punkin Hollow Resort

I had a great time visiting on a solo trip with my dog! Everything was clean and enjoyable, and the creeks are pretty to walk along. If you're visiting in March/April, make sure to look at upcoming weather for potential storms. We got caught in an overnight thunderstorm, which made the creek water rise and was not passable for my low car (Ford Fusion Hybrid). We ended up having to stay an extra night, but it all worked out well! The host was understanding, a fellow camper shared their food, and Jon was responsive and super helpful! We would definitely visit again.

2 nights at Treehouses, Off the Grid!

Staying in a tree house has always been a dream of mine, and this one was fabulous. The house was great as was the area surrounding: fire pit, hammock and swing. We spent many hours on the trails and especially enjoyed Jacob's Ladder trail. There was peace of mind knowing the whole property was fenced in. We felt very safe and our dog loved walking the trails off leash with us. Bad weather rolled in our last night, and Shelly was very communicative, making sure we were aware of the watches and warnings, and giving options for where to head if we felt we were in danger.

1 night at Possum Ridge Ranch

Very nice camping area and bath house. Excellent view of sunset and stars in highest camping area.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

Such a cool place. So nice to be off-grid to just be in nature. I enjoyed putting my phone down and just hanging out by the creek. Felt like a good brain reset, and cabin was so cozy.

Weekend Trip to Handyland

We had such a relaxing stay at Handyland. The cabin was so cozy and the stars were absolutely stunning at night. We walked the trails and they are beautiful. Don’t miss them. Josh made sure we had everything we needed. Our dog was able to get some exercise and explore. We all left happy campers and would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Beautiful area, plenty of entertainment, private and they are so very nice

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Great little spot to spend the night. Woke up to an awesome sunrise.

We loved our experience here! Josh was very communicative and helpful any time I had questions. The cabin was clean and well maintained. We stayed on a very cold night and enjoyed using the wood burning stove for heat. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

It’s a beautiful spot!!! Just the reset we needed. We will definitely be back!

That said, we embrace their presence because of their important role in the ecosystem. They do not bite or sting. The males are the singers!

Treehouses, Off the Grid!

5 sites · Lodging285 acres · Germantown, KY

Owned by my Dad who said I could build a tree house on it in 2014. It really was a dream come true. My Dad's original intent was to make it into a huge farm. Now, he is content with building a few treehouses! I have wanted a tree house since I was 10 years old. My siblings and I would spend hours make believing our own tree houses of twigs, rock and moss. It was where we felt at peace. When I turned 35 I knew something was missing in my life. I returned to doing fun adventures again and one led to another and we found tree climbing. EarthJOY tree adventures was founded in 2007 and since then we have guided 1000's of climbers into the trees and watch as they do tree tricks like yoga poses and coming down like spiderman.This land is magical and a world of adventure awaits you!
