1 night at Kinner Kamping

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.!

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.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

We had a wonderful time camping at Hidden Valley River Camp! My husband and I took our 8-year-old daughter and dog camping overnight and everyone had fun. The campground is very peaceful and we loved how private our spot was. It was awesome being on the creek so that our daughter and dog could explore while we relaxed. The hosts were so nice and accommodating! We highly recommend checking out their property.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

We have tent camped two years in a row at this location and the hosts are so friendly and helpful. Kathy is readily available to communicate any information necessary. Scott always comes around to check in and make sure we have everything we need. He even takes the kids on golf cart rides, which they love! Their property is in wonderful shape, and the bathrooms are always very clean. It’s just a great location and good vibes. This year we brought friends who had never been before and everyone had a wonderful time. I’m sure we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Three Springs Campground RV Park

A cute, super clean campground. And we loved the shower heads!! Every corner of the cabin, bathrooms and showers were clean of cobwebs! I am glad to see they are investing in fixing some of the campsites. It was very easy to find, just off the highway but far enough back to be super quiet. We will stop again when visiting family in Lexington.

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Rode in via motorcycle with 3 others. The grounds was clean, well marked and easy to navigate. The primitive camp location we were assigned was perfect. We then were brought a loaf of firewood we'd purchased with the visit. Firewood was dry and burned all through the night. To top it off a river running in the background couldn't be beat. We will most definitely be returning!

2 nights at Hidden Valley River Camp

My 6-year-old and I had a lovely overnight trip. The owner was there when we arrived to show us around and make sure we were comfortable. When we mentioned that we wanted to fish off the dock he took the time to clean off the mud so that we could easily access it. We plan to return someday soon!

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Beautiful area on a mountaintop nice and quiet the host was super friendly

1 night at Hones Pointe Campground

We only stayed one night, but Steve’s property was beautiful! Very welcoming and comfortable. Our dogs loved walking the property with us and visiting all their new goats and sheep friends!

1 night at Farm and Forest

We had a lovely night all to ourselves on this spacious farm on our drive from Virginia to Colorado . Our dogs loved it! Plenty of games and fun things for kids, including disc golf. We had a couple of questions and the host was very responsive..

Weekend Trip to Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

I had an amazing stay at Steepleview Farms! The tent site was spacious with plenty of room to spread out and set up camp comfortably. Marcus was an excellent host—super communicative and responsive to both texts and calls, which made everything smooth from start to finish. The site itself is peaceful and private, surrounded by trees with plenty of trails to explore nearby. The fire pit was a great touch, and having a porta-potty on-site was really convenient. Firewood was also available for purchase, which made campfires easy and enjoyable. Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like about this place. If you’re looking for a quiet, well-maintained campsite with a reliable host and great amenities, I highly recommend Steepleview Farms!

Weekend Trip to Little Slice of Heaven <3

We had a wonderful weekend camping with our new travel trailer. The site was beautiful and flat gravel made leveling easy and quick. The property was park like and we were graced every day with gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. We did have to make a WalMart run and it was very convenient easy trip. Highly recommend this site!!

1 night at Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

This was our first time using Hipcamp, and we had a great experience. The host was great to communicate where our site was located. It was a peaceful, quiet night. I’ll be using the platform again, and I would consider staying here again if in the area.

Weekend Trip to Camp Kokovoko

We stayed at the Dixon Hilltop Campsite. It is beautiful and secluded. If you like primitive camping - this is the place for you. Sunrises over the hill with a cup of cowboy coffee are amazing. Our kids were able to roam around, but we still felt very safe and comfortable with them out of our site. Kokovoko Farm is a lovely "little" working farm. If you take the time to talk to the host Leslie you will get lots of lovely little insights to the farm and a great history of the Gotland ponies she raises. Fair warning this is primitive camping and about as close to backpacking with out moving everyday that you can get. So if you expect easy camping with electricity, toilets and lots of water - this is not for you. If that sound great to you then this is the perfect little slice of camping heaven!

Weekend Trip to Handyland

I loved tent camping here! The property is gorgeous and so well maintained, and the hospitality is unmatched. I brought my kids here for their first “real” camping trip and we loved every single minute of it- thanks so much for having us!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! Our kids loved playing in the open spaces and we loved the quiet evenings by the campfire. Lovely spot!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Beautiful property with several spots. We chose to tent camp with electricity in order to work during Friday day and was placed near the stage. We had a wide open space with nice views of the farm. We enjoyed walking the trails. Next time, we will try primitive camping at one of the more private and shady sites. There were a few other campers there which was nice to chat. We were offered the use of the bathroom at the house which worked well for us. Overall, a great stay.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

Wonderful campsite! Clean, private, quiet, and safe. The portapotty was in pristine condition and the handwashing station was a nice touch. Kathy and Scott were wonderful hosts! Kind, friendly, and very accommodating. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit complete with a grill to cook food over the fire. The hosts provided a trash can as well. Our dogs loved the trip too. 10/10 stars!!

Primitive Camping Retreat

3 sites · Tents25 acres · Butler, KY

Mawhe Acres Camping Retreat has two primitive camp sites just inside the tree line of an open field, each with a 16' x 16' crushed limestone pad for tents. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and access to a compost toilet (in outhouse). There is no potable water or electric. However, for a nominal fee, we can provide a water hose to the campsite. There's easy access with the ability to drive through the field to the campsite or guests can walk in with their gear from driveway. We're fine with car camping too - we just want to keep things as natural as possible. Mawhe Acres - a 25 acre farm, much of which is raw land and woods in their natural state, undeveloped and not farmed for decades - is an official National Wildlife Federation® (NWF) Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site. NWF recognizes our commitment to sustainably providing the essentials of wildlife habitat - natural sources of food, water, cover and places to raise young. The abundant wildlife around includes deer, squirrels, red foxes, turkeys, chipmunks, groundhogs, raccoons, opossums, woodpeckers, owls, and birds of prey (mostly red-tailed hawks and vultures). We have a small lake with good fishing and acres of woods to explore. There are some footpaths for easier walking. We want to share our beautiful land for our guests to enjoy taking in the sights and sounds of the forest which can help you relax. In fact, it’s possible that time in the great outdoors can boost both your mental and physical health. For example, the science on "forest bathing" (also called "forest therapy") makes a convincing argument that spending time communing with nature can improve stress, anxiety and depression. For those who want a little action, we sit behind a new football facility where you may be able to catch a game or two if you're interested.

This idyllic retreat offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and natural beauty, making it an ideal escape for those craving tranquility away from the bustle of everyday life. The property features a serene pond, ideal for quiet contemplation or in the evenings a closeness with nature as the bullfrogs sing their song. An old deer blind, weathered yet sturdy, serves as a rustic vantage point for spotting local wildlife, while a charming footbridge spans a gentle stream, to the secluded lower camp.

Fiskburg Holler also serves as an excellent base camp for hunters exploring the region, though hunting is not permitted on the property itself. Fortunately, Kenton County and its surrounding areas offer ample public hunting grounds, making it easy for outdoor enthusiasts to pursue their passion nearby. With its blend of natural features and rustic allure, Fiskburg Holler invites campers to unplug and immerse themselves in the simplicity of the outdoors.
