Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

4 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Cub Run, KY

Learn more about this land: This is a horse ranch so you can sleep in the company of horses or in the woods with them in the distance ( check if available/storm damage).We have rolling hills, beautiful views from the hill tops, valley with creeks and a waterfall when not in dry or draught and an abundance of wildlife. Also we're located 5-10 minutes from mammoth cave park border, hike, bike and horse trails, river, lake, blue holler atv park and so much more. If you are sensitive to animal noises you may bring earplugs. There isn't a bathroom/ shower house yet so we ask that you bring a port-a-pot of some sort. We're constantly making upgrades to the Ranch so we hope you enjoy your stay. Please refrain from feeding the horses or dogs because it creates a bad habit and folks that don't know how sensitive a horses gut is can possibly kill them. Respect privacy of others and pack out all that you pack in. Shut any gates you come through.please understand that my horses are of all ages and that includes young ones and babies and seniors as well. The young ones like to be nosey and are still learning what they are allowed to do and what not to do. They are naturally curious and love attention. If they think you have snacks , they can act like a pack of kindergarteners with the promise of cupcakes...we don't want that but because some campers think they are the exception and gave them snacks, it is something we have to monitor more closely. Remember they are animals and they will get into anything if it's left unattended. Please be a responsible camper and ensure we all stay safe and enjoy the experience.We have a section for folks to park in if they do not want to be so close to the horses as well. If you don't like horses or dogs please consider alternative camp site. Limited pet allowance...check before booking please. Also, we've had issues with the site and it offering horse time, ride, Q&A etc. for 5$. We've taken steps to fix this. But if you would like something like that it would be through the Ranch directly and as our time allows. Thank you for taking the time to read everything as well.

Stories from the community

Aerial view of campsite number one with mowed grass entrance.

1 night at Camp Escape

I camped in my van for the night. I am traveling for work and had enough of hotel rooms. Shelby's land is exactly what I needed. It was quiet, clean, secure, and peaceful. The check in was a breeze at it was all done through HipCamp. Shelby sent me a welcome message as well as the code for the combination lock on the gate. I didn't really explore the property, but my space was hidden and peaceful.

1 night at Beardsnest

One of my favorite things about Beardsnest is how much variety there is amongst the different campsites. If you want to enjoy the open sky and swaying grasslands, you have Backcountry Rim, Frisbee Field and Hickory Field. If you want to have a fully immersive and magical experience, there is Spicebush, waiting for you at end of the winding path that leads you down to the forest floor, where you find yourself in a world all your own. Looking for something in the middle? Forest Rim Overlook gives you the experience of being nestled in the woods while still being very easily accessed. 5 stars, every time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3 nights at Noble Pine Campground

The camp site was very clean and peaceful. And the host was amazing and communicative. The bathrooms were nice and clean with towels provided. I'm defintely not used to bathrooms this nice while camping! The sunsets were beautiful! And visiting the farm animals was nice. We were camping to explore mammoth cave, but other campers had horse for the bridle trails and it was nice to get to see them as well. All in all i highly recommend this location!

2 nights at SOGGY BOTTOMS CAMPGROUND

We loved camping at Soggy Bottoms. Casey was more than hospitable. He was very kind and genuine. We camped right on green river! We floated, and sat in our chairs in the middle of the creek!!!! Plenty of privacy, Coming back soon!!! Also found nice trails and the drive through the river to get to town really made this place special. 10/10

2 nights at LockRidge Park

This place is awesome! From the landscaping, ironwork, creative design of grounds to convenience. The staff is wonderful and so helpful! Must be a great venue for events, we have noticed how hard they are working for the two weddings on Saturday!

3 nights at Beardsnest

The site was absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend this place and would return.

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

Cool little spot not far from Louisville Here’s the story I was driving from N.O. To Cincinnati and back - on the way up I stayed at an icky hotel - I did NOT want a repeat for return trip - I saw the cool van on Shelby’s site so I messaged her about it— the van was taken so I asked if I could car camp- she was very responsive and said yes Directions were clear and getting to the site was super easy

2 nights at Beardsnest

We had an amazing time at the frisbee lawn spot in our camper van! Awesome sunsets, beautiful meadow flowers, giant mowed lawn so many options to park depending what views you want with a long cord for power. Kevin was so knowledgeable about the ecosystem on his property and the surrounding area. You can tell he puts a lot of love into his space We did the kayak tour, Kevin dropped us off at the Denison ferry kayak landing and picked us up a couple hours later at the Green ferry landing. The water was moving fast so we just floated down the river. It was great! He was super communicative and we had fun chatting with him We also bought firewood from Kevin so that was very conviennent

Weekend Trip to Noble Pine Campground

Wonderful and relaxing stay!..Everything was just perfect.. host was very nice and communication was timely and helpful. Nothing but the highest praise and I’ll definitely be reaching out again next time I’m in the area. Thank you again for such a pleasant visit 😊

2 nights at Bourbon Trail Campground

We had a great time camping at Bourbon trail camp! It was very private (we were the only ones there to my knowledge) and super close to distilleries we were visiting. Hosts were very accommodating upon arrival and throughout our stay. Nice little creek to help cool off as well. Few things to be aware of: (did not prevent us from enjoying our time!) 1. Fairly close to the road and train so some loud noises from there can be heard. 2. There are dogs around (owner and neighbors) which roam and may bark at you but will also go away if you tell them. They were fine with our dog being on property as well. 3. There is not much shade (open field camping for the most part) and the land has some hills so great spots may be limited especially when it’s hot. They do have flat spaces carved out but the shade was the more limiting factor for us during our hot summer trip. 4. Due to camping in grass, we had a few more bugs and ticks than experienced elsewhere. Very easy to manage with common practice, but make sure to bring thermacell. Despite the few notes above (trying to help future campers!), we had a wonderful time and will be back!

1 night at Camp Escape

We really enjoyed our stay! It was a tiny bit of a detour off our route, but well worth it. The site was safe and well maintained, a welcome respite after a rough travel day. The fireflies were magical, too! The host's directions were perfect and the sites were clearly marked. (And level, which is always appreciated!) We stayed in the black walnut site, closest to the road. I was concerned we might have a bit of road noise at first, but it wasn't an issue at all. We had a peaceful night and slept so well. The surrounding area was pretty; we enjoyed getting to see something besides highway on our way through the Louisville area. We would definitely stay again.

1 night at Camp Escape

Beautiful site! I have never seen so many fireflies. Easy to locate and access—we had a lovely time ❤️

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Kristian was a very informative and gracious host. I loved camping here. There were chickens, goats, horses, dogs, and a cute cat to visit. At night the sky was beautiful and there were lightning bugs everywhere. The bathrooms and showers were stocked and very clean.

1 night at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

Camping on Kevin’s land was an awesome way to end my trip! Kevin was incredibly helpful in picking out my site for the night and showing me all around the farm. The location on the river was awesome for a nice fire at night and to really feel at home with the nature of the area. The farm animals that would visit during the stay was also a very fun part of the stay. Very awesome spot!

2 nights at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

We loved our time at Keven’s place! The animals were so fun to see roaming around- our kids got a huge kick out of it. The creek was fun to hike in and kept us cool. Keven was great about checking in, but giving us our space.

2 nights at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

My wife, three boys and our dog really enjoyed our camping trip and meeting Keven! He was so hospitable and was so helpful in making sure we had a great time. We picked the campsite closest to the creek as our boys wanted to explore and hike with our pup. Even with the heat wave, our boys had a great time with all the mini-horses, donkeys and “Kong” (you’ll have to visit to learn about that 😁). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and thank you, Keven!

There are 109 acres, 91 acres of which is dense woods with plenty of trails to explore.

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.

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 the fourth year of succession, 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 2 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. We offer custom kayak departures and pick-ups tailored to your schedule and travel constraints. Thanks to our visitors for supporting this type of project! Bundles of dried and split firewood are available onsite, usually a mix oak with a suggested donation of $6/bundle, delivered to the campsite. Kayaks are hosted 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.).
