Located in Boyd County, Ky (less than two miles from US 23), our 50 acres are on a one-lane, dead end road which makes for a peaceful, quiet night’s sleep under the stars and amongst the trees.

Potable water (2.6 gallons in a jug with spout) and portable toilet in privacy tent, or shelter, provided. *Permanent privacy shelter on two out of three sites*
All sites are ideal for tent campers, overlanding-style rigs, or possibly a small, off- road trailer/camper, with fire ring and firewood provided at each site. You will have access to all trails (for hiking only) and shared access to the fishing pond (Catch and Release only at this time). There are plenty of trees for shade, hammocks, etc. There is also an abundance of wildlife: Birds, deer, turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, bobcats, coyotes, and even an occasional black bear.
Large firepit at pond for socializing, if desired (Quiet time from 10pm to 8am as a courtesy to other campers).
We are pet friendly as well as off-leash friendly (on leash on trails or pond area if not friendly). *We do have two off-leash dogs on our property as well*

Big Laurel is a working cattle farm on land that has been in our family for 4 generations. The farm consists of 370 acres of bottomland pasture along the creek and quiet woodlands where you can explore jagged rock cliffs and beautiful vistas. The woodlands are undergoing transformation as we continue an ongoing forest rehabilitation project to return our land to its natural
state as a deciduous hardwood forest. Spotted on the farm is an amazing abundance of wildlife including wild turkeys, white tailed deer, pileated woodpeckers, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, bear, and red tailed hawks.

This is a camping cabin, in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest. If you are into primitive camping and living, then this is the right place for you! Many types of wildlife and critters may be encountered during your camping adventure. Deer, turkey, squirrel, snakes of different types, and lots of wood bugs inhabit the woods. We are about 85 acres, surrounded by hundreds of acres of national Forest, located about 2 minutes from the Sheltowee Trail, and approximately 30 minutes away from Cave Run Lake, and 30 minutes from Carter Caves State Park.
The cabin is off grid, but has a generator for heat and Air conditioning. The outside toilet is close to the cabin and has a "Wash up" area. There is also an outdoor shower on the property just a short walk away, down behind the host's garage, that features hot water.
A great place to relax and detach from the stress of society for a few days, or hike, hunt, or head over to Cave Run Lake for some fishing.
Tranquility and peace await you here.

Established in 1983 on a 60-acre plot of land right in the Shawnee State Forest. The property is beautiful with flat land, fields, and at the back are the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. We put a horse farm on the land in 2000. The horses here are my family and I want to expand and offer more opportunities on the land. That's when I came across Hipcamp! I'm excited to share a piece of my heaven that I'm fortunate enough to call home.

Transforming A-Frame Camping Cabin Near Cave Run Lake & Red River Gorge
Experience a unique off-grid micro A-frame camping cabin designed for nature lovers, hikers, and eco-conscious travelers. Located 3 miles from Cave Run Lake and a nice scenic drive to Red River Gorge. TSKY offers a peaceful basecamp to explore eastern Kentucky while treading lightly on the land.
The property is proudly certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat and recognized as a Certified Garden and Monarch Waystation through Monarch Watch. Native plant gardens, pollinator habitats, and wildlife-friendly landscaping support butterflies, birds, and local ecosystems. Guests can enjoy a stay that prioritizes sustainability and respect for nature. Intentionally building dead hedges, leaving hollow stems, stumps, and wood piles creates vital habitat for native bees, pollinators, and wildlife. It's not a manicured yard, it's designed to support diversity, and, too, we are designing foodscapes. Always a work in progress. When available and in season, guests can pick their own fruit and/or herbs.
This 80 sq. ft. A-frame embraces a minimal footprint and off-grid mindset, encouraging guests to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with the outdoors.
Adventure is close by:
• 3 miles to Long Bow Boat Dock on Cave Run Lake
• 10 minutes to the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail
• 18 miles to Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest
Within a 20-minute drive, short hikes lead to natural arches, scenic overlooks, a cave, a state fish hatchery, and a beautiful 60-foot waterfall in a small canyon.
Whether you’re kayaking, hiking, birdwatching, or simply relaxing among native gardens and wildlife habitat, Trace Space KY invites you to slow down and Embrace Nature’s Pace. 🌿🦋🌲

When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision? We're a family that loves to camp; and while we love a stop at a KOA or community campground, we sometimes crave quiet time in nature without the noise and distraction of other campers.
That's what makes The LAAAAND so special. The property is comprised of 50 pristine acres, with a mix of fields and woods, that bump up against another 250 acres owned by our family friends. The southern perimeter of the property is all cliff line, so you feel truly remote. The possibilities of sound pollution are limited to a far-off dog barking, horses being ridden down a nearby trail, or the possible hum of a distant lumber yard. Other than that, you'll mostly hear the wind rustling trees, deer and critters making their way through the woods, and possibly a waterfall at certain times of the year. Oh, and you will absolutely hear whipoorwhills, most likely at a time you'd rather not (we've decided they're charming).
Over the nearly 2 decades we've owned this property we have spent countless weekends enjoying the simplest of pleasures; watching butterflies dance in the tree canopy, having dance parties at sunset on the deck, forging new trails and hiking into the unkown, sitting in the truck bed late at night gazing at a star-covered sky counting shooting stars.
If you are looking for a space and place to reset and reconnect, The LAAAAND is waiting for you.
(***Please note, we leave our personal camper on the property for the camping season, so you will see it when you arrive to the right of the campsite***)

Another extraordinary experience at Bear Pond. I appreciate the dark skies for stargazing and the open stage where wildlife appears.
This season, Red-shouldered Hawks carried the daytime, and Barred Owls took their turns whenever the mood suited them.
I’m grateful that Host John has opened Bear Pond to Hipcampers. Having this place as a base camp shortens the distance to the trails I return to. From here, I’m never far from trails to explore. And when I’m back at camp, I’m still immersed in it, surrounded by woods, hills, and holler.
It brings an ease to the rhythm of the stay—a short drive back to camp, and West Union is close enough if something’s needed or forgotten.
On the hill, there’s now 5G (Verizon), which brings reassurance when keeping track of the weather.
Host John is a thoughtful caretaker of the land. It feels like a second home whenever I visit.

This was my second time visiting and there's not much to say other than it's a fantastic spot to camp. 10/10, no complaints. Very close to the red river gorge area with plenty of great hikes nearby, but don't forget to factor in at least one full day into your stay for exploring the LAAAAAAAAND itself.
Highly rated by my dogs as well (11/10 barks)
