Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

We had a wonderful time camping at Hidden Valley River Camp! My husband and I took our 8-year-old daughter and dog camping overnight and everyone had fun. The campground is very peaceful and we loved how private our spot was. It was awesome being on the creek so that our daughter and dog could explore while we relaxed. The hosts were so nice and accommodating! We highly recommend checking out their property.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

We have tent camped two years in a row at this location and the hosts are so friendly and helpful. Kathy is readily available to communicate any information necessary. Scott always comes around to check in and make sure we have everything we need. He even takes the kids on golf cart rides, which they love! Their property is in wonderful shape, and the bathrooms are always very clean. It’s just a great location and good vibes. This year we brought friends who had never been before and everyone had a wonderful time. I’m sure we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Happy Hollow Homestead

Under a thick forest canopy in a verdant hollow in southern Indiana, Kerry has crafted a bespoke camp that reflects a curiosity and investment in sustainable living with some modern comforts. The grounds are walkable featuring a variety of campsites. Fellow campers feel like woodland neighbors without being right next to each other. And Kerry, a welcoming host, ushered me from the road through the woods, answered questions and shared stories of the land. We talked about structural projects across the Happy Hollow and investigations into waterways & sinkholes inn the area. 11/10 would return.

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

Fantastic little spot. I'll be back and thanks so much. William

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Rode in via motorcycle with 3 others. The grounds was clean, well marked and easy to navigate. The primitive camp location we were assigned was perfect. We then were brought a loaf of firewood we'd purchased with the visit. Firewood was dry and burned all through the night. To top it off a river running in the background couldn't be beat. We will most definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape

Once finding the entrance it was easy to navigate, and we felt very safe during our stay.

2 nights at Hidden Valley River Camp

My 6-year-old and I had a lovely overnight trip. The owner was there when we arrived to show us around and make sure we were comfortable. When we mentioned that we wanted to fish off the dock he took the time to clean off the mud so that we could easily access it. We plan to return someday soon!

1 night at Pine horse farm

Very peaceful and gorgeous setting. Allison was very nice and accommodating!

1 night at Hones Pointe Campground

We only stayed one night, but Steve’s property was beautiful! Very welcoming and comfortable. Our dogs loved walking the property with us and visiting all their new goats and sheep friends!

1 night at Willow Pond

We had a great one night stop. The property was super cute and the host was very helpful.

Weekend Trip to Happy Hollow Homestead

Great land awesome vibe Host was a great dude and some of the best firewood I've got at a hip camp in a long time

Weekend Trip to Happy Hollow Homestead

The time I had there was a perfect separation from the world I needed. Secluded enough to be away from stress yet it close enough to a town to get supplies if forgotten. I will be returning to this site. Kerry was more than flexible in finding a spot that fit our needs and was available if we needed something or needed information. Also loved the visitor that stopped by an hour she can take a break. I believe his name is Maynard!

1 night at Canyon View Quarry

Very nice to have a campsite so large and private.

Weekend Trip to Little Slice of Heaven <3

We had a wonderful weekend camping with our new travel trailer. The site was beautiful and flat gravel made leveling easy and quick. The property was park like and we were graced every day with gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. We did have to make a WalMart run and it was very convenient easy trip. Highly recommend this site!!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

Wonderful campsite! Clean, private, quiet, and safe. The portapotty was in pristine condition and the handwashing station was a nice touch. Kathy and Scott were wonderful hosts!

1 night at Hones Pointe Campground

We had such a blast camping at Hones Pointe. We spent one night tent camping over Memorial Day Weekend with our five little kids. The campgrounds are great for families - lots to do, fun areas to wade through the Little Kentucky River, and thoughtful amenities. We'll be back!

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!
