1 night at Red River Gorge Glamping Resort

This was my first glamping experience and I simply loved it! The yurts looked more magical on site and we had a cozy bonfire and toasted marshmallows by the fire. Me and my friends are glad we chickened out of camping and did glamping instead because it provided us more comfort and coziness than camping. We woke up to horses running around near the area and had another fire. Totally worth the trip!

Great view. It's very inviting and accommodating. Didn't use the fireplace, so don't know if that works or not, but it is an amazing place to stay. The directions given or precise and overall a great surrounding area as well.

Definitely preferred when this was one private site, but the neighbors were ok. Way too close for comfort, though.

2 nights at Bar on the Mountain

Location! Location! Breathtaking view and plenty of space to set up camp and enjoy nature. The bar was a nice central hub for our cooking setup and to keep it dry without having to set up a tarp. Fire pit great size and the constructed seating (boulders, rock slab tables, benches etc) gave plenty of room. Where we pitched camp had plenty of tall trees around for privacy and blocking wind, which was extremely helpful as we got caught in a bit of some snow. The other site at this location is just across the loop but you wouldn’t notice so feels like you are in a private area. Toilet on site could use some emptying and cleaning as it was pretty full and dirty when we arrived. Other than that note amazing spot and can’t wait to come back when the weather is better!

3 nights at Bar on the Mountain

I stayed at the bar with 5 of my friends there were lots of places to park our vehicles and set up tents and hammocks. On the second day it rained for hours we sat under the covered bar and joked and cooked food until it stopped and then we were right back around the fire ring. The gravel on the ground of the campsite helps the water to train quickly, we had no puddles. The view was truly captivating it made for a perfect base camp for our adventures into the Gorge. Even the porta potty was very clean. My only issue was the it’s hard to get tent stakes in the ground without a hatchet or hammer lucky I brought one with me so it wasn’t a big deal. I will return I. The future.

Very peaceful and quiet. Serene. Breathtaking sunrises. Private and spacious. The ultimate camp site for staying lowkey and having privacy.

Weekend Trip to Savvy Retreat

Beautiful property! My husband and I brought our two dogs for a peaceful weekend in our travel trailer. The location had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed several hiking trails in the area, grilled delicious meals under the large shelter, and relaxed by the fire with a perfect view of the stars. This location exceeded our expectations and the onsite bathroom was a bonus! We highly recommend this spot and will be back next fall!

We absolutely love this property and the views are spectacular! There was a proposal in the group over the weekend and the background, with the sun setting over the gorge, couldn't have been more perfect! We'll definitely be back to this site again and again.

1 night at Serenity Camp

I loved tent camping here at the beautiful Majestic Views! Instructions were very clear and the host, Jamie, was very helpful. I didn't plan a great time to go weather-wise, and it was raining pretty much from the time I arrived to when I left the next day. Still, I was determined to see my camping trip through after the drive down there and I ended up having a great time. Jamie let me stay at a spot where they was a small shelter which some hay bales were being kept under, so I was able to pitch my tent under there and avoid getting soaked. Ended up having a very cozy little set up there right next to the pasture where the horses were out. Despite being in view of the farmhouse, the spot was still very private and secluded. What a gorgeous place- the rolling hills, autumn trees, and even the grey, rainy sky were stunning. Was able to enjoy a very peaceful night. In the morning, I got to hang out a bit with one of the dogs who came down to my camping spot and ended up staying for a while- much to my joy! Very close to the Natural Bridge park so I went hiking the next day after checkout. Thank you Jamie, I hope to be back again sometime when it isn't quite as rainy!

7 nights at Serenity Camp

We absolutely loved our stay. We got lost and Jamie immediately helped us, he also guided us to a beautiful camp spot that was perfect for us. Very spacious, private, open and wooded. The views were just gorgeous. We explored serenity falls ravines, as well as a very deep ravine hidden next to our camp spot that was so magical! If you’re a climber that would be a lovely spot. We felt at home, peaceful and safe our whole stay and did not want to pack up to go back home after a week there! Some things to note, but don’t sway me or my experience at all- You will hear dogs 98% of the time barking, we are used to this. You will also hear cars and traffic as it’s nestled across the highway, also something we were used to because our own land is beautiful but is also off a main road so we hear it at home too. So if you’re looking for something perfectly quiet, this isn’t for you, but if you don’t mind normal life sounds combined with nature and beautiful views, this is your place. We heard lots of animals and wildlife. It is a perfect spot to find trails all over, you are close to the gorge and we went there and all over every day. Everything was close enough, but felt far away enough. Beattyville is such a cute little town and we quickly fell in love with it and the community. This is our third time being around that general area/gorge and we love it more each time. We already can’t wait to make this a yearly thing and come back to serenity! Highly recommend this entire hipcamp!

3 nights at Savvy Retreat

I just got back from a 3 night stay at Savys Retreat and I’m already planning my next trip. It’s in a beautiful part of Kentucky, especially in the fall. The property sits down a dead end road, single lane but well maintained, and it’s one of the last places out there so it’s quiet, private, and peaceful. Everything about the site is well thought out and taken care of. You can tell the owners take pride in it. The setup felt more like an RV resort than a campsite, plenty of space, clean, and everything you could need. I spent my evenings sitting by the fire watching the sunset, then stayed out until the stars came out. Hard to beat that. The hosts were quick to respond, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. If you’re looking for a relaxing, private spot to unwind, this is it.
