Stories from the community

Aerial view of campsite number two with mowed grass entrance. This site is the closest to the bathroom and creek entrance.

2 nights at Camp Escape

This is a great spot outside of the city! I stayed here two nights with my two cats and we felt safe and comfortable. There is a train that goes by and is pretty loud in the night and during the day. It didn't bother me much but just something to know. I am so happy I found this spot and if I go through KY again, I will be staying here again! Porta potty was super clean and close by. Other than the train, this spot is quiet and so peaceful with the sound and sight of beautiful birds. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking to camp near Louisville!

1 night at Little Slice of Heaven <3

I found Kristal to be a friendly, hospitable and engaging host; her place is close to Bardstown in beautiful bluegrass country. Perfect place for a quick overnight on the road!

4 nights at Boondocks

Boondocks is a great spot on the river. Spacious site with water and electric. Great restaurant on the same property. Close to Louisville and a number of other distilleries. Nice and private.

Weekend Trip to Lost On Purpose

Everything went great. The host is great with communication and the land is peaceful. Would always recommend this hipcamp

Weekend Trip to Boondocks

Site 6 was incredibly beautiful and private (there are only neighbors on one side). The "campground" is very small - only 6 sites. There is unfortunatley some rubbish (rusty trailers, wood pallet stacks, old lawnmowers and other garbage) near the site... but if you just don't look that way - the gorgeous water/woods views make you forget all about that! There was a porta-potty, which was nice to have available. There is also a small bar/restaurant on site, which was surprisingly good!! One of the best burgers, my burger snob husband, has ever had. The catfish dinner was also incredible.

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

its a nice little camp site a stream next to you and a park just a short drive

Weekend Trip to Noble Pine Campground

Great spot! My kids loved staying here. Great location and not far from Cave City if you take the Green River Ferry.

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

Shelby’s space was really nice, not too far from the city, and conveniently close to Jefferson memorial. The sites are a little closer together than I thought, but they were not all full so we still had plenty of privacy. The creek behind the campsite was perfect for our dogs. I was under the impression that there were trails to explore from the campsite, there were not. Scott’s gap loop was a great trail about a mile drive away that we did the following morning. They had firewood on site for $8 a bucket! The property itself was gorgeous, amazing sunset. It was a little noisy with the train and neighbors, but not too bad. It was super nice to only drive 30 minutes to an awesome campsite.

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Loved this campground!! Small enough that I felt comfortable and big enough that there were nice bathrooms! Cute goats, horses, and chickens, but Kristin was the best feature! Very friendly and thoughtful. I definitely recommend!

2 nights at Lost On Purpose

True definition of secluded in nature. Was able to get in the creek and follow for miles all directions. Crystal clear waters flowing from up top and all the history it carries with it! Nothing but the sounds of deer calls for bed down, owls, the wind and the trees speaking to you, and stars at night. It was definitely a heavy feeling to have to leave, but I can’t wait to get back again this season and do some more exploring. I will say this is a primitive campers advantage for sure. The wind up in the mountain can cut and rain can come in at any moment. Temps about 10 degrees or so colder than actual. I prefer cold weather camping myself but if you’re not confident in your primitive skills, I’d stay to the warmer months. All in all, can’t wait to get back to this 125 acre beauty. Thank you for sharing what you have with us!

Weekend Trip to Terrapin Hill Farm

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

Weekend Trip to Noble Pine Campground

I had a great quiet stay for one night! Had a nice hot shower, enjoyed the farm life and nice view. Thanks for sharing your space with me!

1 night at Noble Pine Campground

The farm is absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed a hot shower after a few days on the road. This was a great stop and Kristin and her family went beyond to make it enjoyable.

1 night at Little Slice of Heaven <3

Beautiful quiet spot on the driveway. This was our first hip camp stay, which understandably caused Kristal some concern about us booking last minute, but we were able to convince her we would be respectful.

1 night at Camp Escape

This tucked away camper was perfect for our roadtrip. We had a fantastic stay at Off Grid Van Life in Louisville! There was plenty of room, both in the van, and on the property, it felt private and peaceful, despite its proximity to the train tracks. The bathroom was clean and everything was super convenient and simple. We loved waking up to lots of bird activity in the morning and enjoyed the nearby stream. We hiked at Scott’s Gap just a few minutes away, which was a great bonus. 5/5 would definitely visit again!

Weekend Trip to Noble Pine Campground

Very nice & responsive host! Had clean bathrooms & supplied firewood! It was a nice quiet place. Would visit again!

I have a very friendly dog of my own on the property who free-roams. Also, if guests leave their pets in the cabin while they are gone, the pets must be crated.

Instructions will be given upon arrival and are included on the wall in the bathroom. We can only accommodate TWO guests at a time in the cabin due to the Incinolet's capability.
