If you're a boater or fisher, Nolin Lake Park is definitely the place for you. Use your trustiest bait and cast a line for crappie, catfish, or walleye, which are abundant in the azure lake waters. Boaters will be happy to use a conveniently placed launch, and a sandy beach awaits swimmers and people gettin' on their tan on alike. Nine miles of biking trails are the perfect way to explore the shaded paths, and a shorter hiking trail offers the sight of a cascading waterfall. Keep an eye out for a variety of birds from great blue herons to wild turkeys. If you're lucky, you may even catch sight of the elusive and beautiful bald eagle. We can salute to that.

Boasting rocky shorelines, verdant outcroppings, and tranquil waters, Rough River Lake is a stunning getaway for you and your closest friends. About 90 miles south of Louisville, it's far enough away from civilization to get a breath of fresh air, but close enough not to be too inconvenient. If you're really rarin' to explore, try hitting up the sandy beaches built for swimming and boat launches that are just waiting for your vessel. Hiking and interpretive trails are the perfect place to keep an eye out for wildlife, and no one will fault you for wanting to take a swing at the 18-hole golf course. With the historic Green Farm nearby, you can check out a large ancestral home and water-powered mill sitting on 3,000 miles of picturesque land. Pretty sweet deal, we've gotta say.

We counted for you, and Green River Lake has a whopping 18 different activities you can partake in on these superb grounds. Seriously, the question here is more what can you NOT do? Play a friendly game of putt-putt golf against your friends, swim and fish around the lake, or hang out on the beautiful piers. Whether jet skiing, boating, or kayaking is more your thing, you'll be able to float those waters in whichever way strikes your fancy. Grill up the fresh food you've bought at the nearby store or put dinner on pause to check out some of the historic sites nearby. With spelunking and hunting opportunities not far away, we don't think your heart could wish for anything more on such a badass vacation.

My kids and I had such a great time on this amazing property. Everything was great from the fishing, the animals, the private space for our tent.

My family and I enjoyed staying on Susan and Larry’s land. The views were beautiful and my son absolutely loved going to see the animals. The campsite was nice and clean. The out house and outside shower were a nice luxury to have available to us. I made the mistake of letting my car battery die while charging my phone and Larry kindly jumped my car off for me. It felt very secluded and was exactly the trip we were hoping for. Overall our family camp trip was very enjoyable and Susan and Larry were very nice and helpful.

Susan's property is a little oasis with prime views of the Ohio River. Biggest highlight are her farm animals and the clean outhouse. Highly recommend!

I got a chance to camp on Susan and Larry's land May 11~16 and can't wait to go back. You truly get to camp right next to the river (as you can see in the attached video), with great views of the water, birds that fish it, and barges that travel it. The land is peaceful, and beautiful ...you can see in another video I uploaded how beautifully misty it gets the morning after a good rain.
The farm is home to many wonderful animals, and it was heartwarming to see how much the hosts care for them. I got to spend most of my time sitting quietly at camp, but every day I also took the time to visit the animals. Susan and Larry were gracious, down to earth, and helpful in every way. They have three farm dogs and took the time to formally introduce us. I've been at a Hipcamp before where I didn't get this kind of warm introduction and had to set up camp nervously while a strange dog barked and growled a little too close to me. I got to know and grow used to these dogs very quickly, including a very sweet old soul who spent a lot of time next to me whenever I went up to sit and watch the animals.
Things to know before you go: I have T-Mobile and didn't get much coverage in the area. It's quite spotty until about half an hour towards Brandenburg, best stop for gas and ice. Did not go out much except one trip to Forest Edge Winery (recommended). Wish I'd visited the Bernheim trails, forest giants, and the forest/arboretum. Next visit!
Reserve a spot at Moonlight Grove ...you won't regret it!
