Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Willow Pond

We had such a blast and Megan was wonderful and very responsive. Easy to find. Well thought out. It was out first HipCamp experience and we are hooked. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Misty Bottoms

I really like the set-up of this place! The camp site is nice and level with direct access to the river. It was quiet and peaceful during my stay. Tena had great communication prior to my visit, and showed us where everything was located upon arrival. I hope to visit again later in summer and paddle on one of my favorite rivers in all of Kentucky.

Weekend Trip to Terrapin Hill Farm

Wonderful host and beautiful property! Host was very kind and accommodating. Clear directions and great amenities. Would absolutely recommend for a peaceful stay.

Weekend Trip to Beardsnest

Great location and beatiful property! Spent a night with my pups trekking north to Wisconsin. Host Kevin and his son and dog welcomed us and showed me around with a firepit prepped for use.

Weekend Trip to Buck Creek Sanctuary

Beautiful property. Cares for with passion and purpose. Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Barren River Magic

Beautiful piece of land in a beautiful county, decorated with vintage Americana, isolated from highways. On the way home, stumbled upon Ace Coffee Shop in Cave City, maybe the coolest cafe I've ever been to.

Weekend Trip to Buck Creek Sanctuary

This land is so sacred. I experienced so much healing and magic here. Thank you buck creek sanctuary!! 10000/10

2 nights at Camp Escape

Camp Escape lived up to its name! A fantastic property teeming with nature, yet still right within reach of the city. Shelby is very kind, helpful, and made us feel right at home. Our campsite was just the right size, a personal haven, providing the peace and quiet we were craving.The provided firepit and level land made setting up a breeze - even during a massive downpour! It was exactly the what we needed. If you're looking for a quiet and safe camp experience without roaming too far from Louisville, look no further! We definitely recommend Camp Escape!

2 nights at Beardsnest

Kevin met me as I drove up the driveway. He is polite and will help you with any of your tourist activities if you need it. I had a busy sightseeing plan in place prior to arrival. I was off to go caving. I highly recommend taking him up on the kayak offer for a morning or afternoon float down the river if your day is not packed. The sunset across the field is worth slowing down to view. I walked through the lower forest in the morning and scared all the Wild Turkeys, his dogs even joined me for part of the walk. I was the only camper midweek and he checked to see if I was okay with the dogs being out in the field. This was a great place to pitch my tent for a few days, much more peaceful than a typical campground.

1 night at Camp Escape

Last minute travel to Louisville to catch a concert, decided to camp instead of getting a hotel. Only 17 minutes away from our show. Super relaxed place to stay, even had firewood. Easy in and out + gate provided security.

Weekend Trip to Barren River Magic

We had such a wonderful weekend. The area is so beautiful! Can't wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Little Slice of Heaven <3

Weekend Trip to Pine horse farm

This was a really nice place to stay. I would definitely stay here again. The were very nice and helpful

3 nights at Beardsnest

My partner and I decided to do a last minute camp trip to visit mammoth caves, and since the park itself ran out of tent sites, we booked a stay here. IT WAS SO WORTH IT. Such a wonderful secluded spot in the middle of such beautiful nature. Kevin was such a great host and greeted us on arrival. The campsite itself is about a 10-15 minute hike, and Kevin was kind enough to show us the trail and tell us all about the plants and wild life inhabiting the area. It’s a great quiet spot and a must if you are looking for an escape. Highly recommend.

6 nights at Misty Bottoms

Our family had a truly memorable week at Misty Bottoms. We brought our camper and stayed on-site, and it turned out to be the perfect spot for a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful—wide open fields, a peaceful river nearby, and the most stunning sunrises each morning. Waking up to that view every day felt like a dream. Our kids had a blast exploring the area and playing outdoors. There’s a large pole barn on the property with a clean bathroom that includes a shower, which made our stay even more comfortable and convenient. The barn provided much-needed shade during the hotter parts of the day, and we were pleasantly surprised that it had toys and space for the kids to play while we relaxed. The hosts, Travis and Tina, were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and welcoming. They made us feel at home right away and were always available if we needed anything, yet gave us the space to enjoy our trip. Their warm hospitality really added to the experience. I especially enjoyed taking quiet walks along the river in the mornings—it was peaceful, grounding, and a perfect way to start the day. The whole property was very well-kept, peaceful, and full of natural beauty. We absolutely loved our stay and are already looking forward to coming back. Misty Bottoms is a hidden gem—perfect for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a quiet and refreshing escape.

5 nights at Bourbon Trail Campground

Great site location! Amazing hosts. Couldn’t have asked for a better week!

4 nights at Noble Pine Campground

We loved spending time at the farm! Kristen was a wonderful host with amazing communication! The glamping tent was great! We had 20-25mph winds most of our visit. We didn't even notice when we were in the tent, other than hearing it. The heaters kept us plenty warm on the chilly nights. 35°F was the coldest night and I had to turn one of the heaters down. The restrooms/showers were clean and well stocked. Highly recommend a visit to the farm! We would definitely return!!

1 night at Beardsnest

Amazing private spot on edge of field was perfect. My daughter even had a great place to hammock camp. Kevin could not have been more accommodating. Love the project to create a native, sustainable ecosystem. And the dogs were an extra treat!

Secluded Woods on the Bourbon Trail

2 sites · Tents109 acres · Lawrenceburg, KY

* HIKE IN ONLY * The property adjoins our family pumpkin farm where we have miniature Zebu cattle, mini horses and mini goats. There are 109 acres, 91 acres of which is dense woods with plenty of trails to explore. While completely isolated and secluded, it is still close to town and highways/railway, so there will be typical sounds associated with those. Absolute seclusion on the Bourbon Trail and only 4.5 miles from town. Only two designated sites on 109 total acres, or find/make your own spot in the dense woods. Park at the host residence and a short hike in is required. There is a strong 5G signal, and each site includes a fire pit and picnic table. The closest site has an outdoor shower. There are three miles of easy walking/biking trails through the woods. Salt River (off site) is less than a mile away and offers a popular kayak launch location, and an amazing destination just a little further down the road where you can drive in the river (see pics). Four Roses Distillery is .4 miles off site and within walking/ biking distance on Bondsmill Rd. The property is almost entirely wooded and borders the Norfolk Southern railway. Some locations are within 100yds of the railway, where you can see the train through the trees as it passes by. Other areas are much further away. Be warned! Lawrenceburg KY is known for it's Wildman Days Festival because of the high volume of Bigfoot sightings in the area, and there have been multiple, documented sightings on this property. Firewood available for a small fee upon request. Preview of sites by ATV tour *may* be available during daylight hours. This is primitive camping and you will be surrounded by wildlife, chiggers, ticks and anything else that creeps in the woods. No electric. Hike in/out only. Leave no trace.

Beardsnest

5 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · Cave City, KY

This new-in-formation ecological art project is currently recruiting visitors to backcountry camp in beautiful fields, on woodland rim sites, or at delicate campsites located along a system of woodland trails. As of 2025, camping here provides a glimpse into a 4 year-old successional prairie, which at this phase is characterized by spacious views of a gently rolling young prairie seeded with a growing variety of native flowers. Most likely a good fit for those who are self-sufficient and like to avoid busy camping areas, but still want to get out to the park quickly (~7 miles to the Visitors Center) or travel into Cave City (3 mi) for coffee/ice-cream/pizza/barbecue/bar/food/etc. Expand from the campsite into a sketch-work of trails, as if were camping near the headquarters of a satellite nature reserve. Water tap and hose by main house parking area, for cleaning dishes, spraying off, or filling reservoirs. Camping funds allow us to plant trees (~525 seedlings as of March 2025), establish prairie grasses and flowers, restore wetlands, create trails, and remove invasive species. If you have only 3 days, a nice way to experience Mammoth Cave NP is to break the trip into 3 layers, covering the underworld (cave tours!), upper world (hiking), and the water that connects the two (Green River kayaking). Mammoth Cave is unique in the way that a study of the underworld will repeatedly draw the mind into a creative space of imagining what is beneath the surface, how these worlds are connected, while navigating the land and water. Thanks to our visitors for supporting this type of project! Bundles of dried and split firewood are available onsite, usually a mix of red cedar and oak with a suggested donation of $6/bundle. We also share kayaks (Perception Sound 10.5) now on a suggested donation basis (45/), providing a flexible option for visitors to float the Green River through the national park. Pending availability, we offer tent setups as well to folks who want to camp but aren't traveling with gear (REI 4 person Half Dome). Tent setup comes with two sleeping pads (you will need pillows, blankets, etc.).
