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

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.

1 night at Nightfall Farm

We enjoyed how quiet and private the cabin was. Very friendly host, explained everything well. Heated blanket came in handy on a chilly night! Enjoyed the well appointed outdoor kitchen and very clean composting toilet.

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!

Weekend Trip to Canyon View Quarry

Such a cool spot!! So peaceful and beautiful. Host went above and beyond to make sure we found the site easily. I only wish we could have spent more time there!! Firewood included was also such a nice touch!

1 night at Bourbon Trail Campground

Fantastic hosts! Beautiful and private. Super accommodating in the midst of tornado weather too! Would definitely stay again!

1 night at MoonLight Grove Farm

Hosts are wonderful - the site is lovely. Secluded, beautiful views of the river. Would recommend to anyone ! Even spent time with the baby goats :)

1 night at Willow Pond

Willow Pond is a beautiful spot for a weekend getaway for a quick recharge in nature. There is enough room for a couple of tents but to not feel crowded. A picnic table and trash can (with trash bag!) were located at the site. The location is easy enough to access from Louisville or Elizabethtown, but still maintains a rural seclusion. I enjoyed seeing various songbirds, ducks and a heron; in the evening I also heard turkey, coyote and an owl. The pond is small, but well stocked - we caught bluegill and bass various sizes. Megan was very helpful with detailed directions and also responsive to any questions we had. I definitely recommend Willow Pond to anyone looking for a quick refresh, and I will be back again!

1 night at Canyon View Quarry

Private and enclosed property, ideal for letting loose my toddler and dog between two travel days. A unique piece of land - a destination in itself for someone seeking some outdoor seclusion or small gathering around the fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Willow Pond

Beautiful place to spend the night with everything you could hope for in a host and setting.

Weekend Trip to MoonLight Grove Farm

We have stayed here a few times and always enjoy it!

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 Camp Escape

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

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 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 Happy Hollow Homestead

Kerry’s Happy Hollow Homestead was a great place to meet up with a friend to camp for the weekend and celebrate the beginning of spring! The property is well thought out and completely off-grid and sustainable. Visiting the pigs was a fun interaction. The sky was clear and perfect for star gazing. There’s a trail on the perimeter of the land. Plenty of caves nearby for exploring as well! Kerry has done a great job being a steward of the land. Talking to him and learning more about the permaculture techniques that he uses was a highlight of our visit! We car camped at one of the tent/RV sites for two nights. I highly recommend this peaceful place for anyone looking to escape into nature and connect with the land! Thank you Kerry!

3 nights at Happy Hollow Homestead

Kerry's property was everything we had hoped for. Kerry was the BEST host and we will for sure be back. The outdoor shower was the bees knees

Weekend Trip to Buck Creek Sanctuary

Ken is SUCH a great host! He gave us a tour of his gorgeous property when we arrived and then provided fantastic recommendations for the area. As for the site itself--it's exactly what we were looking for! There's truly nothing better than being lulled to sleep by the sound of moving water and we had the magical experience of an otter sighting while sitting by the campfire. The site felt private and secluded while having the benefit of only being a 5 minute walk from our parking spot. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Rockytop Family Farms

Great property on a hill only 30 mins from Louisville. Fantastic and helpful hosts, a couple fun tree swings over a pond, chickens (cooped) and two huge dogs that our kids loved. We'll definitely be back!
