Camp Kokovoko

Kokovoko is a breeding farm specializing in Swedish Gotland Ponies and Lincoln Longwool sheep, both rare breeds. We're a sustainable family farm, and love the idea of sharing the land with people who aren't as fortunate as we are to live here! You’re welcome to book a tour. 

Once the land of native Americans, Daniel Boone, then tobacco and cattle farms, now it's yours to explore and enjoy. Come visit, bring your bicycle and binoculars.

Two Mile Glamping

My husband, Jason and I would love to host you on our farm in Winchester Ky! We have 4 themed campers and 1 primitive tent site. Two things we can promise are inexpensive prices and a unique experience! Come visit the home of Kentucky’s soft drink-ALE81! Only 35 miles from Natural Bridge/Red River Gorge, 25 miles to Buc-ee’s, and 12 miles to Fort Boonesborough State Park. 

Field in front of the barn offers multiple games!

Farm and Forest

Due to the sharp entrance from the road to the driveway, we CANNOT accept rigs over 34' long.  We cannot accept 5th wheels (due to height) because of some lower hanging tree branches along the driveway.  WE DO NOT ACCEPT LONG TERM STAYS! 

This land has previously been a tobacco farm, a hay farm, and is now home to a few beef cattle. We have blazed trails through the woods for hiking, created campsites with fire rings, farmed hay, and grown various vegetables for self-consumption. We love the proximity of the farm to town, yet the seclusion we feel when we are on the farm.  

Campsite with fire ring, accessed by car or short hike. Can accommodate up to four tents, and hammocks.

Campsite at creekside, accessed by a short hike. Can accommodate up to 2 tents.

The natural spring and creek beginning. Accessed by hiking trail.
