1 night at Possum Ridge Ranch

Very nice camping area and bath house. Excellent view of sunset and stars in highest camping area.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

We LOVED camping here, Jamie was so helpful in finding our campsite in the dark- and when we woke up we were in such a nice little spot in the woods! Absolutely everything we were looking for in this camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Lots are very separated with lots of flat spaces and Jamie was very accommodating when we asked to be closer to the woods. Price is great even with no water, elec, bathrooms, etc....

2 nights at Serenity Camp

Beautiful place to camp in a more secluded area. Very close to the Gorge and trails, with stores/restaurants nearby as well.

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

I've stayed at around a dozen hipcamps around the country, and I have to say, this is one of my favorites. It is completely private and there is much to explore right there on the property. Easy communication with the host, available water, and a few minutes drive from some cool hikes in the red river gorge. I'll definitely be staying here again if I'm in the area.

Weekend Trip to Shasta Valley

We loved bringing our teardrop trailer to this beautiful private property! We are new to the area and this was the perfect spot for our family. We felt so safe and comfortable and had everything we needed! Our camper did wonderful by the pond! We did hiking every day at red River Gorge and it was so nice coming back to this nice private spot (spot by the pond). We did this trip in March so even though the nights were chilly we did just fine and everyone was sad to leave! Thank you guys for such a great experience and for sharing your property with us!

Weekend Trip to Bar on the Mountain

we stayed at the top shelf and it was our first time coming to this site and it’s amazing! a ton of space for tents and activities. the view is amazing, se saw a fon of stars at night, and its pretty secluded (besides the bar side lol). we will definitely be coming back and booking the bar side!

1 night at Serenity Camp

Amazing place to get away! Very private and the view was great

2 nights at Old Mansion Farm

We had an incredible stay at the Old Mansion Farm in Versailles, Kentucky! Michelle and Curt were absolutely wonderful hosts—welcoming, accommodating, and always ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The property itself is beautiful, offering a peaceful and unique getaway in a stunning location. From the charming historic atmosphere to the thoughtful touches throughout our visit, every aspect exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to stay with them again and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable Hipcamp experience!

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

Second trip to this spot. As awesome as we remembered it to be. Excellent communication by host. Wish we could have stayed for longer... hope to make a return trip next year. Thanks!

2 nights at Bar on the Mountain

Nice level site and really well maintained with gravel allowing any rain to drain well. Beautiful ridge top location that was quiet at night. The stars were lovely. The site was large and allowed us ample room to set up our teardrop trailer and to have space for our camp chairs, etc. The porta potty is close enough to be convenient as well. The directions to get to the site were great. They made it easy to find where we were going even after exiting onto a steep mountain gravel road.

5 nights at Bar on the Mountain

Beautiful view, spacious, secluded and clean . Recommended

3 nights at Shasta Valley

This campsite was amazing, and Sam is a wonderful host. Even in the early spring this place is an oasis. Our campsite was tucked in the trees, and the outdoor kitchen was the cutest. It was perfect campsite for watching the eclipse and star gazing. 1000% would recommend stoping here if you can.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

absolutely beautiful campsite with a wonderful host. only 20-30 minutes from RRG while still feeling secluded and quiet. plenty of space and campsites to choose from, right next to so many horses and plenty of stars to gaze at. would 100% recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Bar on the Mountain

Beautiful campground. Highly recommend! Very important to follow the written directions though, GPS tried rerouting through some rough terrain but overall camping here was an amazing experience

Weekend Trip to The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

Stunning property with great access to trails and proximity to hiking in the gorge. Watching the sunset was a major highlight - we’d love to come back ❤️

2 nights at Serenity Camp

Great spot love the horses great service from Jamie too!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Cozy little cabin on an absolutely breathtaking piece of land!! Especially with all the rain lately, the waterfalls were really flowing! The beds in the cabin were super comfortable and we all slept great. Liz and her husband were so nice and very helpful!!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Beautiful land! Rolling hills with its very own waterfall, horses, & the most beautiful clear views of stars at night.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

First of all, absolutely beautiful property! The area is private and plenty close enough to RRG! Jamie is an outstanding host that got back to us within a matter of 5 minutes or less any time of day that we messaged. He went out of his way to bring down a battery powered pump for our air mattress. We got to learn a good deal about the history of the property & found out there was even a waterfall on the property which is half the reason we’re in RRG (falls & arches). Such a beautiful place with an above and beyond host. Give this place a try, you won’t regret it!

The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Frenchburg, KY

When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision? We're a family that loves to camp; and while we love a stop at a KOA or community campground, we sometimes crave quiet time in nature without the noise and distraction of other campers. That's what makes The LAAAAND so special. The property is comprised of 50 pristine acres, with a mix of fields and woods, that bump up against another 250 acres owned by our family friends. The southern perimeter of the property is all cliff line, so you feel truly remote. The possibilities of sound pollution are limited to a far-off dog barking, horses being ridden down a nearby trail, or the possible hum of a distant lumber yard. Other than that, you'll mostly hear the wind rustling trees, deer and critters making their way through the woods, and possibly a waterfall at certain times of the year. Oh, and you will absolutely hear whipoorwhills, most likely at a time you'd rather not (we've decided they're charming). Over the nearly 2 decades we've owned this property we have spent countless weekends enjoying the simplest of pleasures; watching butterflies dance in the tree canopy, having dance parties at sunset on the deck, forging new trails and hiking into the unkown, sitting in the truck bed late at night gazing at a star-covered sky counting shooting stars. If you are looking for a space and place to reset and reconnect, The LAAAAND is waiting for you. (***Please note, we leave our personal camper on the property for the camping season, so you will see it when you arrive to the right of the campsite***)

I moved back here a few years ago to my home place where I grew up. To me it is the most relaxing thing I can do to just sit by a bonfire and look at the view.

Queenslake - Classic KY Horse Farm

14 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents140 acres · Georgetown, KY

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.
