This land has previously been a tobacco farm, a hay farm, and is now home to a few beef cattle. We have blazed trails through the woods for hiking, created campsites with fire rings, farmed hay, and grown various vegetables for self-consumption. We love the proximity of the farm to town, yet the seclusion we feel when we are on the farm.

Welcome to Red River Gorge Glamping Resort, a boutique woodland retreat tucked into 13 acres of forest, meadows, and starlit sky in the Appalachian foothills. Designed for slow mornings, campfire nights, and meaningful connection, our property blends rustic charm with thoughtful comforts across canvas bell tents, cozy cabins, and RV-friendly sites.
Wake up to birdsong drifting through the trees, sip coffee while mist rises from the hills, and wander the network of footpaths that connect each lodging to the communal fire pit, outdoor gathering meadow, and our modern bathhouse with hot showers and clean restrooms.
A brand-new shared hot tub sits in the center of the meadow—perfect for warming up after a winter hike or unwinding under a canopy of stars.
Every space is crafted to feel inviting and soulful: warm lighting, soft bedding, rugs underfoot, heaters and electric blankets in the tents, and special touches like complimentary s’mores kits for campfire nights. Cabins offer added privacy, wooded decks, lofted sleeping spaces, and peaceful views of the surrounding hills and horse pastures.
Located just 25 minutes from Natural Bridge State Park and minutes from iconic Red River Gorge trails, climbing crags, and scenic overlooks, this is an ideal basecamp for adventure—whether you’re here to hike, climb, explore, meditate, write, or simply breathe.
At night, gather under the stars, soak in the hot tub, or settle into the quiet stillness that defines life in the Gorge. In the morning, wander to our open meadow for sunrise views, stretch out with yoga, or stroll the property’s paths with a cup of something warm.
We are a work in progress—intentionally. New features, artistic touches, and community spaces are always unfolding as we slowly shape this land into a woodland sanctuary for travelers, dreamers, families, and nature lovers alike.
Come reconnect with yourself, with each other, and with the natural world.
Your spot by the fire is waiting.

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***)

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***)

Very unique spot. Every possible comfort you could ask for while having a large space all to yourself. Hosts were helpful and recommended a great local restaurant (Mammo D's). Very quiet single-lane road with few houses along the way. Good dog walking road. Definitely recommend Savvy's Retreat.

We stumbled upon The Kilns when our original camping plans fell through. Miss Kim and Scott are two of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Everything was clean and orderly and the free firewood was a huge plus. We'll be back!

The Kilns was amazing! Kimberly is so kind and wonderful, and the property is fantastic. Very very good choice for a camp site close to the best crags Red River Gorge has to offer (20 min. drive). Helpful amenities included: a free sticker (heck ya!), fire pit, complementary firewood, garbage can, picnic table (all at each site), porta potties, water tap. Camp sites were solid, and could find level ground no problem. The pond is very cute, and the stars were beautiful. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the spring peepers (early April)! 10/10 recommend.

Beautiful property. Lots of space and privacy and was close to everything we wanted to see in the gorge. Would definitely come here again. Only issue was they said in welcome email there was a porta potty but there was none and owners did not respond to text when reaching out to discuss it

The host was fantastic very friendly and accommodating. The property is creek adjacent and very pretty and spacious. They had fire rings around and firewood if needed. The family dog came down to check on us a couple times on his fence check rounds. This is the best Hip camp we have stayed.

This was my second time visiting and there's not much to say other than it's a fantastic spot to camp. 10/10, no complaints. Very close to the red river gorge area with plenty of great hikes nearby, but don't forget to factor in at least one full day into your stay for exploring the LAAAAAAAAND itself.
Highly rated by my dogs as well (11/10 barks)

Wow, what a gorgeous setting. We were sad to only have one night here. The spot is extremely secluded - right on the lake with a very clean porta potty nearby. Lori has firewood available for purchase and multiple campfire locations. A family of ducks and geese joined us on the lake in the morning. Can’t wait to come back! Easy access off of 75.

this place was nice, it seemed a little more set up for tent camping but that didn’t bother us! the hot tub was incredible, however it was set to 95 at one point which was honestly kind of tepid and not very enjoyable. i would have changed the temp but they asked us not to adjust it. that also wasn’t a big deal, just kind of a bummer.
the hookups were good, the spot to park in was definitely not level so you would need to level your rig if that’s something that would bother you. we found it easy enough, as other campers have mentioned it is a little rough driving in due to the steep hill and gravel driveway. just be careful!
all in all this place was a good spot to park for a couple nights and recoup on our 3 week road trip. we would recommend! thank you!

We really loved van camping at Handyland! The views of the rolling hills and valley were beautiful, the site was private, and night skies were filled with stars. Directions were clear, and Josh was a very friendly and helpful host! We hope to go back!

We loved tent camping by the river. Keven and John are warmly kind and helpful hosts— they even offered us strawberries just because they had extra! The friendly mini and full sized horses wandering around the property made the experience even more beautiful. It’s peaceful and quiet and was ideal for fishing, painting and rock-hopping (mine and my husband’s favorite pastime), and my husband caught a catfish which we ate that night for dinner. We’ll definitely be back!

Would definitely visit here again. The space feels secluded thanks to where the location sits on the property and it was well-maintained. Sunset and night sky views were amazing from the deck as we were lucky to have clear skies during our stay. It was a great location and the host was very responsive. Next time we are in the area and not backpacking...this will be our base again!

Our stay on the Bar was nice! When we got there a group of teen boys had set up on our reserved spot. I think the camp sight is very clear they just wanted more space than what they had booked. Other than that it was lovely the spot its self was amazing views! The smell others talk about is mild only when the wind blows nothing enough to deter any visitors, it was a more expensive camp sight than most but with the views it can be worth it! Not many camp sights are on the edge of mountains!

To be honest, when I first saw the area, I was a little bit skeptical. But let me say, it was worth every last penny to stay there. The campsite was very well maintained and Bart even left a few sticks of firewood for me to use. I had no trouble with any critters or disturbances at the campsite. Behind the cabin leads a steep trail that can be a little bit of a challenge to hike up if you have a heavy load, so I would advise taking as little up as you can. The trails up are very well labeled and there are even ropes to help you reach the top. If you do make it up to the top of the mountain, you are greeted with very well maintained trails and a beautiful view of the forest around you. I would advise going up around sunset as it really captures the beauty of the forest. You can travel for a while on the trails, seeing all the wildlife and plants around you, even when its dark--though I wouldn't recommend staying out too long. I had a great time and even when my car battery died, Bart remained very respondent and helpful. If you are looking for a good place to camp while in Kentucky to see Daniel Boone forest or Red River Gorge, I can't recommend a better place than Bart's!

The view is pretty spectacular. We went biking crossing the small creeks and enjoyed the serenity of the place. It was such a beautiful place and we had a starry night. We saw a couple of shooting stars as we lay on a mat stargazing. It was a scene from a show. The hosts were very kind and generous. Bart and his wife provided everything we could have needed in the camping and showed us all the different fun things to check out. Nothing will beat their hospitality. They have a yoga deck and a very cool bathroom and outdoor shower. The owners and their children are clearly nature enthusiasts themselves. What made our experience even more amazing was hearing the coyotes howling in the middle of the night.
