Tent

1 night at Plantasia Homestead at Anglin Falls

I had The Best experience at Plantasia! Phil and Sacha and family are beyond wonderful. The animals were an absolute delight, and the land is exquisite. I didn't want to leave!

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Ridge

What’s not to love about camping just a short walk from an incredible brewery? Turtleback Ridge Farm is a fantastic host for the Kentucky Open Road Race Series, and I had the privilege of camping there the night before a race. Although the weather was dreary and the rain relentless, the property still offered a peaceful, spacious spot to pitch a tent and rest up undisturbed. I didn’t get to fully appreciate the farm’s beauty this time, but I’m already looking forward to a return visit. Highly recommend to anyone in search of a laid-back, convenient campsite in the area!

2 nights at Handyland

Josh was amazing! We were late getting there and Josh came out in the pouring rain to let us know how and where to go on his wonderful property! We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

It was a pleasure to meet Jessa and her husband. Thanks for.sheltering us in a storm. I love your place!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

We LOVED camping here, Jamie was so helpful in finding our campsite in the dark- and when we woke up we were in such a nice little spot in the woods! Absolutely everything we were looking for in this camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

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....

4 nights at HomeGrown HideAways

Amazing as always! We had a group of 50 there in all types of camping (campers, tents, treehouses, etc). Everyone had a great time and we were able to both gather as a group and have some fruitful family time. Looking forward to coming back!

2 nights at Serenity Camp

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

2 nights at The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

I've stayed at around a dozen hipcamps around the country, and I have to say, this is one of my favorites. It is completely private and there is much to explore right there on the property. Easy communication with the host, available water, and a few minutes drive from some cool hikes in the red river gorge. I'll definitely be staying here again if I'm in the area.

Weekend Trip to Shasta Valley

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!

Weekend Trip to Plantasia Homestead at Anglin Falls

Very Peaceful atmosphere, at night all you can hear is the valley stream, the perfect amount of noise! Very friendly people and very friendly animals! Would absolutely recommend staying here again, although next time I think I'll wait till it's a bit warmer outside.

Weekend Trip to Handyland

We had such a relaxing stay at Handyland. The cabin was so cozy and the stars were absolutely stunning at night. We walked the trails and they are beautiful. Don’t miss them. Josh made sure we had everything we needed. Our dog was able to get some exercise and explore. We all left happy campers and would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Terrapin Hill Farm

Great spot for the night. Host responds to messages quickly.

1 night at Serenity Camp

Amazing place to get away! Very private and the view was great

4 nights at The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

Second trip to this spot. As awesome as we remembered it to be. Excellent communication by host. Wish we could have stayed for longer... hope to make a return trip next year. Thanks!

1 night at Keep It Simple Stupid

Beautiful spot in Kentucky! Private, quiet and amazing. It’s like your own private state park! 😁

3 nights at Shasta Valley

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.

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Excellent place to unwind and relax! We opted to camp in the field under a star filled sky. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening. The community barn is top notch! We can’t wait to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

absolutely beautiful campsite with a wonderful host. only 20-30 minutes from RRG while still feeling secluded and quiet. plenty of space and campsites to choose from, right next to so many horses and plenty of stars to gaze at. would 100% recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had a great weekend! Jennifer was very helpful and the property is awesome. We were in town for an event at Rupp Arena which was a quick 15 minute drive away. We recommend staying here when you’re in Lexington!

Farm and Forest

17 sites · RVs, Tents22 acres · Lexington, KY

This land has previously been a tobacco farm, a hay farm, and is now home to a few beef cattle. We have blazed trails through the woods for hiking, created campsites with fire rings, farmed hay, and grown various vegetables for self-consumption. We love the proximity of the farm to town, yet the seclusion we feel when we are out there.

I moved back here a few years ago to my home place where I grew up. To me it is the most relaxing thing I can do to just sit by a bonfire and look at the view.

HomeGrown HideAways

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Berea, KY

HomeGrown HideAways is a farm, lodging, and event facility nestled in a hundred-acre holler in the Appalachian foothills near Berea, Ky. Our lodging features treehouses, yurts, a bunkhouse, retro camper, water/electric hook-ups, and campsites. We also host weddings, retreats, and other events so advance reservations are required. For insurance purposes and the safety of our own livestock and pets, we do not allow guests to bring their pets/ESAs onto the property. Prepare to UNPLUG as we do not have cell service or wifi (there IS a landline for guests to make phone calls located in the Community Farmhouse). All guests from tent to treehouse have access to our solar-powered Community Farmhouse featuring a fully-stocked chef-inspired kitchen, restrooms, coin-op laundry, and upstairs multi-purpose room with a library and board games. There is also an outdoor kitchen area with additional cooking space including a grill, microwave, and sink (sink is closed in the winter so the pipes don’t freeze). Next to the Farmhouse is a massive pavilion with picnic tables for al fresco dining and firewood bundles to purchase. BRING CASH! Our seasonal bath house is generally open from April or May to October or November based on the prevailing temps. There are 4 flush toilets, 2 sinks, and 2 hot showers. The floors are concrete so we recommend shower shoes and you'll want to bring your own towels and shampoo/soap. The farm has a small playground, yard games, creeks, and a steep and rugged hiking trail that loops the mountain. We're also just 8 miles from the hiking trails at the Berea College Pinnacles, 8 miles to Owsley Fork Reservoir, 20 minutes to Anglin Falls, 12 miles to Berea, 35 minutes to Richmond, Ky, and a scenic hour to Red River Gorge. For other activities, restaurants, shopping, music, and more, we're happy to share our favorites, but highly recommend checking out the Berea Tourism website.

The land that is now Terrapin Hill Farm has been a gathering place over the ages, and we have continued the tradition with music festivals, yoga retreats, weddings, and other celebrations. We believe that getting out in Nature... by camping, hiking, gazing at a campfire or at starry skies... is not only beneficial but necessary to our mental health. That's why we want to share our little slice of heaven with others.

The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Frenchburg, KY

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***)
