Weekend Trip to Trace Space KY

We really can’t say enough good things about this space and the host. The space is incredibly relaxing and comfortable. The birdwatching is amazing. And the garden was beautiful. My wife spent the weekend identifying and researching all of the plants in the garden. We were visited each day by a variety of birds including (but not limited to) Red Headed Woodpeckers, Orchard Orioles, Brown Thrashers, Cardinals, Cedar Waxwings, and many others. MJ was incredibly friendly and accommodating, answering any question we had very quickly. She is simply the most thoughtful and kind host. We highly recommend staying here.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Ben was very accommodating to our large group and our needs while we stayed. There were very many options for tent camping.

4 nights at Pine Tree RV Park

A wonderful hipcamp. The host was helpful and thoughtful. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

We loved camping on Ben’s land! Lots of primitive sites from open field to hammock camping. Shower house is in progress but nicely kept. We camped all the way at the bottom near a small waterfall; 4 wheel drive is highly recommended in some spots at the bottom. Ben came and checked on us and is very pleasant. Would definitely stay again when visiting the area.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Had a blast tent camping with wife, our pup, and a few friends. Grounds were easy to navigate, very spacious, the bathrooms were quite a trek uphill but it was very nice to have access to running water, toilets, and showers! Firewood is available on site for $7 a bundle, the host was great!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

I had an amazing time at the farm, between talking with Keven and John, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. I will definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Old Mansion Farm

What an amazing location and beautiful spot. Quiet, private, amongst the Kentucky horses and bluegrass fields. Close to several distilleries and small towns on the Bourbon Trail.

2 nights at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

My friends and I tent camped and we all loved the area, All of the animals we interacted with we're very nice. Lexington has a lot of nice restaurants and attractions. Keven is an incredible host and interacted with us a few times, he was very funny and kind. I'd very much recommend this site.

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

10/10 experience. Keven and John were fantastic hosts. I will be back again and again, and hope you do the same. What wonderful people with such a beautiful property for us to enjoy!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

My family loved camping in this laid-back quiet farm. The host Keven was excellent. Great communicator and wonderful company. He showed us around, helped us pick a spot, and even offered to help set up. He had work to do in another location on the farm (flood damage) but checked in us ever so often to make sure we were good. The kids loved the animals that run freely through this beautiful fielded property off the river. We petted horses, min horses, donkeys, and goats. There were chickens and ducks too closer to the outhouse. This farm is located down a road across from the wild turkey distillery. It’s protected by an electric fence that Keven ensures you are familiar with during the first meeting. This was weeks ago and my kids still talk about this camping trip. Thanks, Keven!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

Had a beautiful time! Would absolutely love to spend more time at the farm! ✨

2 nights at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

I really enjoyed spending time with the mules and donkeys — they were incredibly social and gentle. The peaceful, secluded location was just a stone’s throw from some excellent river fishing, which made it even better. Keven was a fantastic host and went out of his way to help us multiple times. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and connect with nature.

2 nights at Boone Valley Campground

I loved camping at this quiet and secluded place, I was the only one there so had it to myself. It was extremely quiet, the only sounds I heard were the birds and the wind. There was a gentle rain that gave a special ambiance to camping and sleeping in nature, certainly a special place that I will come back to in the future.

Weekend Trip to Old Mansion Farm

Nice views of the horses next door. The host was very welcoming.

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

We LOVED this place, loved Kevin and co. Thoroughly enjoyed the animal friends! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

Loved the land it was sandy beach area with amazing view of ky river. Couple of creeks to kayak an one to even hike. My brother and my dad floated down river to the boat ramp an walked back. Owner was friendly and gave you your space even with it being on their land. They have multiple animals which we love. The only thing Is if you have a nice car I would park outside the fence to keep it safe from the Animals. We had amazing time an we definitely plan to go back. Owners were great!

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Loved the property. Truly felt secluded and by yourself!

2 nights at Boone Valley Campground

We went in late April. We were the only occupants. We had the pick of the lot so we had a chance to check out every option. There were options close together and spots that seemed isolated. Every spot offers something for every camper.

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

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.

Close to Adventure

1 site · RV, Tent44 acres · Frenchburg, KY

My place is secluded and peaceful. Its a wooded country setting and is a primitive site. There are no facilities or utilities, there is an outhouse/self composting (follow up your business with dropping leaves in after). It may not be suitable for children as there are active brush/wood burn piles on the land. See all photos and ask questions, please. I want it to be enjoyable for all who book. It’s also noteworthy that there are dogs in the area that roam free, it’s way out in the country, there are no leash laws. I’ve never had any issues with unfriendly dogs, but always be aware. It’s at a dead end road, no thru traffic. You can stay and enjoy some amazing stargazing, (there is minimal lighting and a very dark, clear view of the night sky) and lots of peace and quiet or explore the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounding the property or travel a short distance and see so many nearby amazing areas…Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park, NADA Tunnel, Sky Bridge, Cave Run Lake, Twin Knobs and Zilpo Recreation Areas, Carter Caves State Park, Grayson Lake, Rudy’s Ranch.
