1 night at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Wonderful hosts provided information on the area and checked in to see how we were doing. Great location to explore all of the various activities within the Gorge. Would definitely stay again

2 nights at The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

I don’t even know where to start! This property is absolutely gorgeous. The trail markers around the property show off some of the coolest spots, but even just relaxing by the fire pit was beautiful. Lots of wildlife sounds especially at night. The site is very secluded and feels like a backcountry camp! This is my favorite Hipcamp find so far! Will hopefully be back soon :)

6 nights at Savvy Retreat

Our second stay at this wonderful spot! We will definitely be back. Full hook up, available firewood, excellent WI-FI, a toilet so you don't have to in the camper. Secluded to the point you almost feel like you're the only one around. An excellent pull though site.

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Very cute little camping spot next to a beautiful little pond. Owners were very kind and helpful. We had a really wonderful and relaxing time.

3 nights at Two Mile Glamping

This was our first HipCamp experience and we had a great weekend! The themed trailers were very cute and it was so nice to have a/c during the hot summer but still feel like your camping. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the hosts are cool VW people so we felt right at home.

3 nights at Farm and Forest

This place was amazing and Jennifer was so nice and accommodating. As a first time solo camper I felt very safe and relaxed. Definitely plan on camping there again.

1 night at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

Camping on Kevin’s land was an awesome way to end my trip! Kevin was incredibly helpful in picking out my site for the night and showing me all around the farm. The location on the river was awesome for a nice fire at night and to really feel at home with the nature of the area. The farm animals that would visit during the stay was also a very fun part of the stay. Very awesome spot!

3 nights at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Excellent site, very friendly and accommodation hosts. Would recommend!!

2 nights at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

We loved our time at Keven’s place! The animals were so fun to see roaming around- our kids got a huge kick out of it. The creek was fun to hike in and kept us cool. Keven was great about checking in, but giving us our space.

2 nights at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

My wife, three boys and our dog really enjoyed our camping trip and meeting Keven! He was so hospitable and was so helpful in making sure we had a great time. We picked the campsite closest to the creek as our boys wanted to explore and hike with our pup. Even with the heat wave, our boys had a great time with all the mini-horses, donkeys and “Kong” (you’ll have to visit to learn about that 😁). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and thank you, Keven!

1 night at Three Springs Campground RV Park

Nice place, friendly hosts. Bathrooms were very clean and spacious!!

1 night at Three Springs Campground RV Park

Nice vibe very friendly host nice bathrooms and nice shower area

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

My family loved camping at the Peachtree site. It felt secluded even though we were just down the path from the amenities that families need. The views on the farm were breathtaking and we enjoyed the feeling of privacy we had at our site. The kids are already talking about coming back.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Great spot no problems would recommend generous host! Communication great could not of asked for a better spot next to the city!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Great host. Very responsive. Enjoyed the stay. Thanks again for accommodating our group. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had a great time exploring the property & were amazed that such a place exists so close to the city. It’s the perfect place if you have an event in Lexington. Creek Peek is a very spacious site and feels secluded despite being just a short walk into the woods. We especially enjoyed the shade and ambiance of the creek! The bathroom is a plus & the hosts were super friendly. Thank you!!

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Nice little place. Would be great for a concert. The frog sang to us all night. Porta-potties were clean.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

I had a wonderful stay tent camping on the electrical stage. The shade provided by the roof, flat ground, and three walls surrounding my tent made for a perfect site to set everything up! Having outlets on the walls at this site was a really nice added perk. This hosts land is very nicely maintained, they provided wonderful amenities such as Porta potties, spigot water, a fire pit, an indoor toilet, and a hot water shower. The communication was great. Detailed directions to the property were sent to me before my arrival, and any questions I had were answered clearly and promptly. Given the easy and short 15 minute drive to city and the amazing experience I had while staying here, I will definitely be back again when visiting Lexington!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

The best all around experience you could ask for! We had essentially a whole hilltop to ourselves, with beautiful views of both the sunset and sunrise. The grass was cut, area clean, and the closest neighbors were about a 1/4 mile away - which allowed our dog to have a great and unbothered time. The water spicket right in the campsite was a bonus! Not far up the road were full bathrooms with showers, and a very nice common area with games and amenities for anyone. The hosts were communicative and friendly, it’s very clear they take care of this place. A great time and we hope to return!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

I can't stop bragging about My awesome weekend stay at the Possum Ridge Ranch. Where do I begin?🤔 when I arrived I was excited and impressed with the natural beauty of this vast and abundant 375 acre land. I have to admit I was taken back and a little overwhelmed by the camping possibilities. On arrival we were met by the hosts Liz and Mark. They showed us around and said we could camp anywhere on the property they were very helpful in narrowing it down to a very private and spacious camp spot. A perfect spot right next to a trickling stream and a short distance to all 3 of the waterfalls. We didn't see another human, except the hosts, all weekend. There are hiking trails throughout the property and as I mentioned 3 refreshing waterfalls. After a day of heavy duty hiking I showered in the waterfall. The water is crystal clear and I never felt so clean! We hiked up to the perfect spot for a view of the breathing taking unset. And in the early morning we witnessed an awesome sunrise. Liz and Mark are laid back and down to earth good people. I felt very free and safe on their land. There is a central bathhouse with a flush toilet and shower. I was impressed with how clean everything is. In addition to camping there are also accommodations of cabins on the property. There is also a central gathering spot with complimentary coffee, vending machines, and a real dart board!! I have to say, Possum Ridge Ranch is my favorite hipcamp!! A real utopian paradise! Thanks Liz and Mark✌️

Plantasia Homestead at Anglin Falls

1 site · RV, Tent35 acres · Mount Vernon, KY

Our property, Plantasia, is thirty-five acres of hardwood forest, lined with limestone boulders and sandstone cliffs, the occasional old growth tree, and mineral springs pouring out pure delicious water. The rest of the property is an old Appalachian homestead, featuring organic gardens and orchards, two farm cats and one farm dog, bee hives, and a flock of domestic ducks. The stewards are Phil, Sacha, three year-old Aurora, and baby Arthur. We are particularly keen to welcoming other families and/or folks who live in relative sobriety. The springs feed into creeks which criss-cross the wildflower meadow, creating spaces to splash and explore with the minnows, crawdads, frogs, snakes, and whoever else you might find. To the interest of fossil hunters and rock hounds, the creeks are packed with geodes, agates, and relics of an age when Plantasia was the ocean floor (~250 million years ago). Down the road, the trailhead of one of Kentucky's greatest waterfalls, Anglin Falls, is within walking distance (though you can also drive there and park). Plantasia is also a short drive from Berea, the folk art capital of Kentucky, which features plenty of local shops and restaurants, as well as some beautiful trails on the outskirts of town (Brushy Fork for a relaxing stroll, or the Pinnacles for a big majestic hike).

The Mill @ Slate Creek is a small creekside farm nestled in Montgomery County, Kentucky. As a newly established farm, we're excited to embark on this journey. Our primary focus is on berries. In the spring of 2024, we planted 100 blackberry plants, anticipating our first harvest in 2025. The future holds endless possibilities, and we dream of expanding our offerings beyond berries. Currently, we offer just one camping spot, but we have plans to increase that number soon. Our site boasts electric and water hookups, providing convenience and comfort for our guests. Join us at The Mill @ Slate Creek for a tranquil getaway amidst nature's beauty.

Queenslake - Classic KY Horse Farm

A long time ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful princess who dreamed of a spacious and beautiful farm. She fancied horses running playfully in the pastures; plenty of goats, geese, chickens, dogs, and cats roaming freely. She saw herself sitting beside a large lake under a willow tree, sipping tea or lemonade every afternoon just before her nap. Then one day, a prince came along and said, "As You Wish." Queenslake is a 140 acre working horse farm with a 40 acre fishing lake with three barns and 30 horse pastures. Trails are located around the lake and through the forest for hiking, jogging, biking, ATV, horses. Great scenery. Awesome sunrises/sunsets.
