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 Happy Hollow Homestead

Beautiful property, abundant room for large groups, & plenty of cool things to explore

4 nights at Little Slice of Heaven <3

The property is very well maintained and quite scenic. The location is well suited for quick travel to Bardstown, Louisville, Frankfort, and Lawrenceburg (Bourbon Trail destinations).

Weekend Trip to Buck Creek Sanctuary

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

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

If you're looking for a hidden gem in Kentucky, this campground is it! Nestled along the serene banks of the Little Kentucky River, the views are absolutely breathtaking — the kind that make you want to just sit quietly and soak it all in. The river winds gently past the campground, perfect for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. We spent a couple hours exploring the shore. The land itself is beautifully cared for, with open fields that stretch into shady patches of old trees, and a few small trails that invite you to wander. Everything feels thoughtfully maintained — you can tell love and pride go into keeping this place beautiful. We had a fantastic fire under the stars, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the night air. A highlight was definitely the petting zoo, where we got to meet some adorable goats and miniature horses. Scattered around the grounds were also some lovely minerals and rocks giving it a touch of wonder and discovery. The owner was warm and welcoming. He seemed genuinely happy to have us there, and ready to help with anything we needed. He made the whole experience feel even more special. There are electric and water hookups available,just in case you have an RV.

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 Rockytop Family Farms

We enjoyed camping at Rocky top, great value for full hookups.

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 MoonLight Grove Farm

It’s big farm than I expected. There are goats, pigs, chickens also cute cat. Shower is available and they provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash. It was very safe and hosts are very kind. Cell is not working that well but wifi is available near there house. Highly recommended!!

Weekend Trip to Little Slice of Heaven <3

Another fine stay at this wonderful setting! Kristal is a fantastic host and we hope to return next year for a 3rd time! Thanks

Weekend Trip to Fire pit creek side

Private site at confluence of 2 creeks. mature trees, well maintained.

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

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Great site! Clean and friendly. We will definitely return!

5 nights at Bourbon Trail Campground

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

1 night at Cabins at Guthrie Meadows

This was a same day booking from a changed route plan in our trip. Although we got there after dark, the directions to get to the cabin were clear and lights were left on to help. The place is as described and very charming. We arrived at 11pm and were able to start a fire, relax, and let the dogs out and wind down. The loft was great for our 14 year old and the queen bed was comfy.

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

Good site near the creek. One porta potty provided for all the campsites. The site is right next to train tracks. Site was mowed recently and we had a fire pit. $8 wood available. "Secluded" campsite phrasing was an overstatement.

Weekend Trip to Happy Hollow Homestead

This place rocks. Very serene and lots of beautiful nature to explore. The host Kerry is super nice and welcoming and willing to help. Outhouses are well kept and remove any fear you may have of the old fashioned. There’s also a really sweet dog that may periodically visit your campsite. Would especially reccomend this place if you are looking for a quieter and more primitive camping experience. This is definitely my new go-to for camping in the Kentuckiana area.

Fairhaven Farm Campground

5 sites · RVs, Tents36 acres · English, IN

Until 2019, this farm was in the same family since 1889. It has been a working farm since that time. In 2019, our family purchased the farm and continue to operate it much the same way. Our family is devoted to history and preserving the essence of the past. You may very well see us pull up in one of our antique cars to greet you! Our neighbors are friendly and many are also small farmers. You can't see their farms from camp, but don't be surprised to hear roosters crowing, cattle mooing, and donkeys braying in the distance. Our farm is surrounded by the Hoosier National Forest, so you'll see and hear plenty of wildlife too. At various times during the summer, you may find wild blackberries, elderberries, and black raspberries growing right in camp!

Camping near Louisville guide

Overview

The rolling green hills of Kentucky horse country beckon campers out of the bustle of Louisville and out into home of bluegrass and bourbon. If the campgrounds at the tiny Jefferson Memorial Forest aren’t your cup of tea, meander east to Taylorsville Lake, or West toward the Hosier National Forest. Either way you can’t go wrong. You’re only about an hour and a half north of Mammoth Cave National Park, but if you don’t like the drive time, the Louisville Mega Cavern is much closer to home!
