This is my home residence in the small town of Dry Ridge, KY. I am just 20 minutes from The Ark Encounter and historic Williamstown.
I have a small pond to camp next to either with a tent or RV that has electric and water hookup outside of my detached garage. Behind the property and surrounding the farm of 125 acres is eagle creek. Swim, fish, canoe, or kayak for additional fun and relaxation. There are walking trails and if not too congested side by sides are welcome as well. If the creek is low, there is a lot of fun to be had collecting clamshells and other various unique items that the waters bring.
Wood can be purchased for campfires if desired. A small fire pit will be beside the campsite and a larger one down by the creek.
Come sit by the pond and fall asleep to the sound of the frogs chirping and other wildlife.

A beautiful cattle farm filled with Highland cattle, which are unusual for the Kentucky area. This breed is very social and loves human interaction—ours will even take treats right out of your hand.
We also have Black Angus cattle and sell USDA prime Angus beef cuts. While you're here, be sure to check out our little farm store—everything Highland cow–related!

Hello campers! We are former full-time RVers who recently moved to a 110-acre farm in Southern Ohio. We're not yet functional with farm operations; however, our farm has a nicely rolling landscape, with great long-range views to the south across the Ohio River. The topography is great for ATV rides, and sunrise/sunset views are fantastic! Locally, we're a few miles from Georgetown, home of the Brown County Fair, AKA the 'Little State Fair', the last week of September, as well as numerous festivals throughout the year. Georgetown is also the childhood home of Ulysses S. Grant (as indicated by the handful of murals throughout town!), and his childhood home and schoolhouse are popular stops.

Tent
Seriously the most accommodating host ever!
I usually hipcamp on my motorcycle and this time I brought my girl. That leaves no room for chairs & table. Steven not only provided them, he set us up with a tablecloth and candle too!
He also gave us more firewood than we could use and even offered us food!
Steven also schooled us on his all black chickens and his fluffy "silkie" chickens.
Even tho we camped right next to a pond there were ZERO mosquitoes!
We were too tired to hike but a trail to the creek with swimming was made available.

Quiet spot with chickens and ducks. We were able to hook up our 5th wheel with water and electric. Our host was wonderful and even gave us eggs from his chickens.
