Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

Wonderful hosts, beautiful campsite. Well maintained and awesome view. Loved our stay!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

The campsite along the creek was very secluded and nice. My boys enjoyed playing in the creek and looking for critters. The campsite was very peaceful, and the hosts were super nice! We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

Weekend Trip to Kinner Kamping

Nice spot to set up. It rained a decent amount while we were there and it was nice the space was up on a hill so it never got too soggy. Hosts were very nice and responsive to requests for things like firewood. It is close to the other camper sites they offer. Like a little village. You can’t tell for sure from photos. Would recommend

Great host as always. I have stayed several times here and will come back again!

1 night at Kinner Kamping

We tent camped at the happy days site and it was great, very comfortable and peaceful. We also enjoyed spending time with the dog. Shower was a fun plus. Highly recommend.

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Accommodation was amazing, I brought own wood but it was still provided. The morning rise over the mountain was breathtaking. Family doggy was so sweet. We ate breakfast together. I offered a tip, they said no thank you. I will be back. A+++ experiance.!

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Steve has developed such a great place to camp. It’s clean, well appointed snd thoughtful. We made our reservations for our next stay before we left. I have no negatives at all. Steve was a good host, invisible but immediately available. Perfect combination. We were camping over a long weekend in a tent. The fire ring helped contain a fire and every site had one. We had a nice picnic table and fished in the creek. Look forward to returning.

5 nights at Handyland

Beautiful and open space foe camping. The views, weather and property where better than expected. My boys loved the creek! We typically like to not stay in the same place twice but this might be an exception. Keep in mind this is tick country so come prepared and check often.

1 night at Hones Pointe Campground

We loved the relaxing feel of Steve's place-quiet and lots of beautiful and private spots along the river. It was a wonderful stopover and we were greeted by the sweetest sheep, goats, and a couple of curious donkeys. Steve and his son are super friendly and welcoming. The road in is narrow and winding with little to no shoulder. I'm glad we arrived before dark. Once in though, it was totally worth it. I'd definitely return next time we're passing through Louisville.

1 night at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

My partner and I loved tent camping on Keven’s land! It was a relaxing getaway right next to the Kentucky River with animals visiting frequently! If you’re a nature and animal lover I highly recommend visiting Wildcat Creek Farm, Keven is super friendly and helpful, and sets you up with the best possible location for your desired experience.

2 nights at Hones Pointe Campground

Thanks Steve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Had a great time tent camping. Jennifer and Tyler were both great hosts. Not to mention their property is BEAUTIFUL and has very well maintained trails. Would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Lexington area.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Amazing property! Super close to town and very well kept. Pasture had a small herd of cattle in it and the main grounds were very clean. Super friendly folks who were very accommodating with my camping setup (rooftop tent). Overall highly recommend!

1 night at Hidden Valley River Camp

Just as fantastic as everyone says. I came on a weeknight so had the place to myself. If you need to unplug, shut your brain off for awhile…this is the spot. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe. I also loved the outdoor lighting. They will see me again and I may bring a few folks!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

I loved camping here! They have a beautiful property and the hosts were so kind and accommodating! The trails behind the creek were beautiful! My site felt very private.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

This place is great, we have a Class A rv & it was the perfect set up. The host was awesome & very helpful. Would definitely stay here again! Thankful for such a quiet and close spot to everything!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Our host was great! Beautiful property of gently rolling fields and trees, super close to downtown Lexington. Will stay here again if we’re in the area!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Jenn’s place is the perfect spot if you have activities in Lexington! It’s an easy 6 mile drive to downtown which makes it a great place to enjoy the big city while also relaxing in the country to camp, have a bonfire, and chill from being in the city all day. We will definitely be back:)

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Fantastic campsite. Perfectly level side to side; didn't even have to use leveling blocks. Steve was great. It was neat waking up to sheep and a donkey roaming through the site.

Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

21 sites · RVs, Tents153 acres · Sparta, KY

Peaceful Secluded Campsites are what you want. Several beautiful settings will be what you get and much much more. Our campsites lie along the Old Buffalo Trace, the name given by early pioneers to the massive trail left by centuries of migrating bison that traveled right through this property. Making their way between salt and mineral licks along the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers, these herds were part of the plentiful wild game which was the reason so many local native tribes referred to old "Cain-tuk-ee" as their "Happy Hunting Ground". Our 7 campsites are constructed on "The Old Coates Homestead" where we make our home in the original 1858 Homestead house which we recently restored and where we make our delicious gourmet foods. (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarmstore.com) We have sites to fit everyone's needs. Five sites are accessible by vehicle. Two are "walk in" only. The vehicle accessible sites range from sites for one tent, pop up or van campers, to our featured site "Thistledown Gathering Place" which a large group size setting great for scouting trips, church groups, multi-family camping and parties of up to 16 people. Each site has a fire ring, fire wood is available for purchase, we offer clean and well maintained portable toilets, municipal drinking water, hiking trails, and lots and lots of wildlife to help you commune with the absolute beauty of this peaceful farm named Steepleview Farm (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarm.com). But camping isn't the only reason to choose Steepleview Farm. It becomes base camp for so many people looking to take in the amazing itinerary of activities so close by. Here are just a few: The Ark Encounter The Creation Museum Historic Old Frankfort (state capitol) with historic home and capitol tours Historic Madison Indiana, a river captains town of magnificent homes and a quaint little town for strolling, or the Madison Regatta or the BBQ festival Big Bone Lick State Park, massive prehistoric dinosaur dig Buffalo Trace Distillery Neeley Family Distillery Belterra Casino Clifty Falls State Park Old Frankfort Cemetery, burial site of Daniel and Rebecca Boone and so much more.... And don't forget, the history of this place makes your stay that much more than just a night in a campground. You will be sleeping among the spirits of history, the native Americans who hunted this land, the earliest pioneers who mapped it for the expansion west, the early 1800's homesteaders who cleared and worked the land with teams of horses, the centuries of tobacco farmers who shipped their goods to market on the many rivers and streams that surround you. We work very hard to make this THE best camping destination you will find anywhere. And, upcoming.........Pioneer Log Cabins. We have recently acquired a collection of log cabins for a true to life, historic reenactment staycation. We are fortunate that one of the cabins was the frontier church known as "Shilo Baptist Church" from 1830-1840. The pastor of this church baptized Abraham Lincoln's father and is credited with having changed his attitudes toward ending slavery. Our hiking trails and nature trails bring you lots of knowledge, peace, shade, cool breezes and you can bring your horse (no motorized recreational vehicles) oh and lots of wildlife viewing. Here are a few of our featured campsites: REDBUD MEADOW: Our first campsite used by hundreds of people over the years. A secluded lawn in the midst of redbud trees, easy to drive to and from with a pile of firewood and a metal fire ring. The premier site on our property. THE BAPTISMAL POND: As history goes the pond in front of this site was used in the 1800's for baptisms for the church visible from everywhere on the farm, thus our name. This is a tent site, easy to drive into and out of, fires permitted in season. THISTLEDOWN GATHERING PLACE: This is a very large meadow, surrounded by trees with the capacity for large groups, many tents and gatherings of lots of people. Very level, easy in and out with vehicles. Fires permitted in season. WHITETAIL SANCTUARY: Every night for decades a herd of whitetail deer graze in this pastoral setting. Drive in and out, fires in season. Suitable for a family sized tent. THE PENNINSULA: This camping spot is WALK IN ONLY. You can drive to the trailhead on grass and walk the path to the campsite (about 200 yards). One of two remote sites. It sits in the woods, on the bank of a wet weather creek which flows around two sides of the campsite. Fires permitted in season. TOTEM TREES: This site is WALK IN ONLY. A short hike down the hill from the grass parking area and you have a small spot for a tent, in the woods, surrounded by trees and a lot of standing dead ash which appear as if you are in the presence of totem poles. NO OPEN FIRES. MUST USE BACKPACKER STOVE AND FLAMELESS LIGHTING. SPOTTED FAWN HIDEAWAY: This totally secluded walk in campsite is suitable for a small tent only AND PERFECT FOR HAMMOCK CAMPING. NO FIRES as the site benefits from the shade and protection of overhanging cedar trees and the ground is covered in cedar needles. NO OPEN FIRES. MUST USE BACKPACKER STOVE AND FLAMELESS LIGHTING. SO WHAT'S OUR STORY? https://steepleviewfarm.com/our-history So many great people, so many great stories and so many opportunities to share the blessings of our little piece of heaven with you. We hope to see you here.
