Very nice area for a rustic camp! This is an animal lovers paradise with horses nearby, lots of rabbits running around, and a very diverse and active bird population. Very calm, but a little bit of noise pollution at night where we could hear cars, ATVs, and many dogs on adjoining properties kept outdoors. This would typically quiet down around 1am. Also, there is a very vocal whippoorwill in this area that will keep you company all night :) This may be an issue for light sleepers or the superstitious! As for the views, we could not see much at our spot although surrounding trees and starry skies were charming, but my expectations were a little different based on other reviewers' pictures. Regardless, this is a good deal for a bare bones camper, and the location is a short drive from all of the RRG sites.

Lots are very separated with lots of flat spaces and Jamie was very accommodating when we asked to be closer to the woods. Price is great even with no water, elec, bathrooms, etc....

Beautiful place to camp in a more secluded area. Very close to the Gorge and trails, with stores/restaurants nearby as well.

We loved bringing our teardrop trailer to this beautiful private property! We are new to the area and this was the perfect spot for our family. We felt so safe and comfortable and had everything we needed! Our camper did wonderful by the pond! We did hiking every day at red River Gorge and it was so nice coming back to this nice private spot (spot by the pond). We did this trip in March so even though the nights were chilly we did just fine and everyone was sad to leave! Thank you guys for such a great experience and for sharing your property with us!

This campsite was amazing, and Sam is a wonderful host. Even in the early spring this place is an oasis. Our campsite was tucked in the trees, and the outdoor kitchen was the cutest. It was perfect campsite for watching the eclipse and star gazing. 1000% would recommend stoping here if you can.

Cozy little cabin on an absolutely breathtaking piece of land!! Especially with all the rain lately, the waterfalls were really flowing! The beds in the cabin were super comfortable and we all slept great. Liz and her husband were so nice and very helpful!!

First of all, absolutely beautiful property! The area is private and plenty close enough to RRG! Jamie is an outstanding host that got back to us within a matter of 5 minutes or less any time of day that we messaged. He went out of his way to bring down a battery powered pump for our air mattress. We got to learn a good deal about the history of the property & found out there was even a waterfall on the property which is half the reason we’re in RRG (falls & arches). Such a beautiful place with an above and beyond host. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it!

Had a great time with some friends at the sunset ridge tent site. Property was beautiful and lots of trails to explore. We went down to the creek to check out the caves and rock formations. Would highly recommend this site if you’re looking for a place to hike and explore.

First time using Hip Camp and Jamie’s Serenity Camp was a solid choice. Convenient location for anything you’d need supplies wise. Jamie was a great host, helpful and knowledgeable of the property. The horses were a hit with the girlfriend! Would definitely camp here again.

My dad and I camped out for the weekend to do the bourbon trail. Keven was as very friendly and accommodating. We loved waking up and seeing the animals and had a sweet cat purring in our laps around the fire at night. We will definitely be back.
