2 nights at Camp Escape

The campsite was described accurately and met my expectations. It was a great spot for last minute camping not far outside of Louisville.

Weekend Trip to The Tipi Village

It’s a cool campsite. The decorations and atmosphere make it very unique. The bed was good. It was a bit cold because we couldn’t find the remote for the heater. It’s a shared shower and kitchen, but it clean.

Weekend Trip to The Tipi Village

Loved it!

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

This is a great place to get away and relax. It was easy to find and access, all the sites were clean and had recently been mowed. I was staying here so I could hike in the area and this is close to both the Jefferson Memorial Forest and Bernheim Forest. I hope to come back and explore more of the hiking and wildlife the surrounding area has to offer.

3 nights at Terrapin Hill Farm

Terrapin Hill was delightful. Brenda and Pete were wonderful hosts, and the land offered quiet spots and rolling trails. It's close to Shaker Village and lots of other sites.

2 nights at Barren River Magic

This is a truly magical camping location. It’s a very safe and secure area with multiple options of different glamp sites as well as traditional camping. The experience surpassed any ideas of expectations I could’ve even imagined. I highly recommend Barren River Magic.

Weekend Trip to The Tipi Village

We had a fabulous time here! It rained while we were there, but Mark brought us dry firewood each day so we could have a fire 🔥. The bathhouse was perfect and very clean!

Weekend Trip to Terrapin Hill Farm

1 night at Barren River Magic

I had a great stay at Barren River Magic. 2d was super nice and very accommodating. I only stayed one night but I would have liked to stay longer. It was an easy walk to beautiful private river access. Highly reccommended!

2 nights at Barren River Magic

This place was truly magical right out of a fairytale with beautiful rolling hills, cute wildlife, beautiful artistic buildings, the sounds of birds and a gentle rolling river. It was April so I thought it would be too cold to play in the river but it was not. The river was refreshing and the water was crystal clear. There were beautiful butterflies down by the river. The host 2D was amazing as well. He's such a sweet person. It wasn't busy and there were some storms coming in so he upgraded us to one of the lean to cabins. He was the type of man who would probably be everyone's "pappy". I loved seeing and hearing about some of the projects they were working on to grow Barren River Magic. It really is a place to get away from everything. All we heard was birds and the host driving his tractor around occasionally. I went here with my kids and our little dog because I'm going to one of the summer festivals there so I wanted to get to know the area while it was nice and slow so it won't be so overwhelming on the big event. My children are homeschoolers so this was a great little science and artistic field trip for a couple days for them. I highly recommend this place to go and "get away from it all" for a few days. The off grid setup is so interesting. There is art everywhere and the use of recycled materials that I would have never thought of. Some things I recommend is bring toilet paper, bring a way to wash up, and leave the kids tablets at home. It's so nice here!

1 night at Barren River Magic

Totum was a relaxing property maybe 150 feet away from a creek that was super relaxing to listen to all night. The campsite as a whole is super eccentric while still remaining cozy. 10/10

Weekend Trip to Barren River Magic

Gorgeous setting and access to the river. A little rough around the edges…but a work in progress with new showers and bathrooms coming soon.

Weekend Trip to Barren River Magic

I love the earth magic here! Thank you for stewarding a loving space for connection and growth💓

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.

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!

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!

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!!

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Great little campground on beautiful countryside. The bathhouse has flush toilets and hot showers, which is great. We saw horses, donkeys, goats and chickens. There are games available for you to play. We stayed in site number one in a teardrop trailer. It is slanted, so make sure you have leveling jacks (we do) if using that spot. Firewood is provided, though we didn’t use any because it happened to be super windy during our stay.
