Weekend Trip to Plantasia Homestead at Anglin Falls

Great experience! We had an amazing time camping on Phil's property. Even though there was some rain we remained dry because of the well-built tent platform. Phil and his family were very nice and welcoming. We were also able to do some nearby canoeing and hiking in the area. I definitely recommend checking it out.

1 night at Farm and Forest

We had a lovely night all to ourselves on this spacious farm on our drive from Virginia to Colorado . Our dogs loved it! Plenty of games and fun things for kids, including disc golf. We had a couple of questions and the host was very responsive..

Weekend Trip to Misty Bottoms

Misty Bottoms was great! The hosts are friendly and hospitable but don't invade your space/privacy. There's a great covered spot to hang, play games, cook etc if the weather takes a turn or you just need shade. The bathroom was clean and the shower is a great added amenitiy. We would definitely stay there again!

Weekend Trip to Rockcastle Riverside

Great place for RV camping that doesn’t feel like a state park or huge facility. Lots of good tent, camping spots away from the RVs too. We had a great weekend.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! Our kids loved playing in the open spaces and we loved the quiet evenings by the campfire. Lovely spot!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Beautiful property with several spots. We chose to tent camp with electricity in order to work during Friday day and was placed near the stage. We had a wide open space with nice views of the farm. We enjoyed walking the trails. Next time, we will try primitive camping at one of the more private and shady sites. There were a few other campers there which was nice to chat. We were offered the use of the bathroom at the house which worked well for us. Overall, a great stay.

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Home grown hide away is a place in paradise. Absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend! I will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Plantasia Homestead at Anglin Falls

We had a fantastic stay at the private campsite on Plantasia Homestead. Phil, the owner, was welcoming and respectful of our space. The site itself was peaceful and well-thought-out—plenty of trees for our four hammocks, and the tent platform made a great spot to set up a table for board games in the evenings. One of the highlights was having access to fresh spring water and a sink—rare perks that made a big difference. We also really enjoyed seeing and hearing the ducks around the property, which added to the charm. Despite being close to the main house, we still felt a strong sense of privacy. The nearby hiking trail to the waterfall was a short and easy walk from camp, making it a perfect location for nature lovers. And we have to mention: the outhouse was the nicest and cleanest we’ve ever used—seriously impressive. We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet, well-equipped place to relax and enjoy nature.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had an amazing stay at Peak Creek Campsite! This primitive campground offers a truly secluded and serene experience, making you feel like you’re deep in the wilderness. Despite other campsites nearby, it was remarkably quiet, adding to the peaceful feeling. The hosts were fantastic, responding quickly and making our stay even better. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a tranquil retreat!

Weekend Trip to Bourbon Trail Campground

Beautiful property, very friendly host, quiet and peaceful

Weekend Trip to Terrapin Hill Farm

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend of camping at the farm. The owners were super helpful and kind. It was nice to be able to let our dogs off leash to play catch and to explore a little bit.

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 Savvy Retreat

Great place to stay. Having a covered place to park your RV made everything so much easier. The area around the site is absolutely beautiful.

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.

3 nights at Rockcastle Riverside

Friendly people, level site, cut firewood for everyone (downed trees from storms this past winter). Power and water hookups worked as expected. All sites are out in the open so it will be warm during the summer, but it is only 50 yards to the river.

3 nights at Rockcastle Riverside

Beautiful area of KY by the Rockcastle River, friendly hosts & laid back atmosphere made for an amazing weekend 😀

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 Savvy Retreat

We had a wonderful experience and a much needed peaceful getaway! Our hosts thought of everything and were very attentive. We had the best of both worlds with access to WiFi, electric, water and the experience of being deep in the woods and immersed in nature. We are looking forward to another trip in the fall when the leaves change. I highly recommend this private campsite for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat!

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 out there.

Rockcastle Riverside

Started as a retirement experiment, Rockcastle Riverside is a story told of music and family. We have almost 200 acres of beautiful country surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest in Rockcastle County. With a mile of river to swim, kayak, and fish and enchanted forest trails to hike, climb, or play, we have all of the best Kentucky has to offer! We have more established sites with fire rings, or you can find a place off the beaten path for more privacy, if you choose. The riverside is perfect for hammock camping, too. We love music and often host bands on the weekends. We rent kayaks and canoes on site, as well. While there are almost 200 acres to escape into, on any fine night, the stage sits wit a drum kit and the will to make music within the Daniel Boone National Forest. Come play, come get away....we have it ALL! We have a little of something for everyone!
