Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Fiskburg Holler

The land was beautiful. The hike to the campground definitely made you feel like you were getting away. Don't plan on carrying too much stuff up that hill. It's pretty steep.

3 nights at Camp Rocky Run

This was my first ever weekend at a Hipcamp spot and it went great. The owners were helpful and the site was perfect! Definitely recommend it!

Weekend Trip to Cabin and Company (RV/Campers only)

If you’re looking for a relaxing and unique Hipcamp experience this is the place. The cabin is so cozy. The front porch is a perfect location to relax and read a book. They offer 30 and 50 amp hookups. The grounds were meticulously maintained. I will most certainly book again!

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

We had a great time camping here! Very nice, very private but not too far from town. You can hear the train every now and then but not enough to bother us. We loved swimming and fishing the creek, and we would definitely stay here again!

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

I can’t say enough good about the whole experience!! The hosts were awsome people!! So happy they’ve opened their land up to share with others! It was a beautiful experience all the way around! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay as easy, fun and comfortable as possible in return we added a few amenities to our campsite lol built some steps to get safely down to the creek, which was amazing and a nice fire pit to share We will definitely be going back one of my very favorite places ever. !!

Weekend Trip to Camp Rocky Run

As described, Curtis was very helpful getting us setup and there was a very friendly kitty also🙂 😺

2 nights at Cabin and Tent Camping On The River

Beautiful property right on the river. Hunter was very helpful and nice. Would recommend.

8 nights at Fiskburg Holler

The location is easy to find and the gravel parking area is just off the road. There is a 3 minute walk to the campsite down a pretty steep hill on a well maintained path. The campsite is isolated and you mostly just hear nature sounds. I did not use the fire pit or picnic table, I was just out there to sleep after work, but they're new and there is firewood next to the fire pit. I camped in a hammock, but the area to put up a tent is flat but on slight slope. It's nice. I was there for multiple nights and no one disturbed my campsite. This is a simple, remote campsite that is appropriately priced.

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

We so enjoyed our stay on the river at site 4 on Martha’s land with our 8 year old and 2 dogs. The site is so perfectly secluded. Dave made sure we had plenty of firewood and even provided an inner tube for us to enjoy on the river. We will definitely be back.

1 night at Three Springs Campground RV Park

Nice place, friendly hosts. Bathrooms were very clean and spacious!!

Weekend Trip to Ohio River experience

Great location, we enjoyed our stay and we are returning in August. Polly is a great host

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

I loved spending a weekend tent camping at this little piece of heaven only an hour from downtown Cincinnati! There was so much green and wildflowers along the campsites, along with the night sky being so clear due to being away from most light pollution. My dog was happy to be off leash and by the water! Martha took time to show me around when I arrived, along with her husband checking in towards the end of the day. I felt very safe and welcomed! I look forward to another trip soon ☀️ Very helpful and responsive hosts!!

Weekend Trip to Away at Green Hill

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clean, Cozy, and So Much Fun! This campsite exceeded all our expectations! The first thing we noticed was how clean and well-maintained everything was—especially the toilet, which was surprisingly neat for a campground. It made the whole stay so much more comfortable. The hammock setup under the trees was the perfect touch—we spent hours just relaxing, reading, and soaking in the peaceful vibes. And the trampoline? Total win! The kids (and even some of us adults 😄) had an absolute blast bouncing around. It added such a fun, unexpected element to our trip. Between the quiet surroundings, the thoughtful amenities, and that dreamy hammock nap, this place really felt like a hidden gem. Definitely coming back!

3 nights at Hidden Valley River Camp

One of the best sites we’ve visited. Hosts were extremely kind and hospitable, porta potty was very clean, all sites were clean and mown witb an easy walk to the river. Road in was a very steep incline which would be difficult in snow or ice but was fine for our van while visiting in summer. Easy drive onto all campsites once down the hill. Would definitely visit again.

Weekend Trip to Cabin and Tent Camping On The River

This was one of our favorite camping experiences ever! This Hipcamp was a fantastic getaway! We loved the privacy, the relaxing river, and cleanliness of the site. Seeing a snake, herons, and frogs made it feel like a real nature escape. The owner's attention to removing invasive species and planting native plants really made a difference. They were also super attentive to our needs and even jumped our truck when the battery died. We can't wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

New favorite family spot! Nearly every site is right on or very close to the river — peaceful and beautiful. We stayed by the main pavilion (the kids picked it), and even in that central spot, we had a good amount of privacy. If you want seclusion, there are definitely tucked-away sites too. Tons for kids to do: volleyball, frisbee golf, badminton, a “hillbilly pool,” and even a surprise inflatable water slide the host set up one day! Some sites are near animals, which was a fun extra. Sites feel natural but have useful amenities like a fire pit, grill, picnic table, and trash cans. No showers, but Porta Potties are well-placed and convenient. The host was super responsive and welcoming. Great mix of rustic and family-friendly. We’ll absolutely be back—and next time, we’re bringing more family!

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Hones point,honestly it's great site. The little Kentucky river that is on property along the camp sites is absolutely amazing to go play in or just plain out sit alongside and listen to. Steve has done a amazing job at making the sites great. Picnic table,camp grill and fire ring. The only negatives that my wife and I have to say are these. If you're wanting peace and quiet this is not the place. At random times you would here what we belive were donkeys or livestock get excited for what seemed to be hours on end. If it wasn't the donkeys it was dogs barking no stop. And we had no cell service but that could be a carrier issue. All in all great place will probably come back with the grandbabies cause it is nice and there is a play area. All in all,it's a great place and would recommend.

3 nights at Hones Pointe Campground

We loved walking through the creek and catching crawdads.

Weekend Trip to Ohio River experience

The view is beautiful and really great places to eat within biking/walking distance. Especially recommend Pig Candy at the entry to Eldorado St. The site has a “cabin” with a working toilet but the shower has no hot water. Polly was accessible with any concerns and we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

3 nights at Sugar Maple Grove Campground

Our stay was great! We were happy to have an RV as there was an intense thunderstorm the evening we arrived. After the storm passed we were enchanted by the abundance of fireflies! The location was so quiet and remote. Beautiful starry night skies! The campsite was so big and neat!

Primitive Camping Retreat

3 sites · Tents25 acres · Butler, KY

Mawhe Acres Camping Retreat has two primitive camp sites just inside the tree line of an open field, each with a 16' x 16' crushed limestone pad for tents. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and access to a compost toilet (in outhouse). There is no potable water or electric. However, for a nominal fee, we can provide a water hose to the campsite. There's easy access with the ability to drive through the field to the campsite or guests can walk in with their gear from driveway. We're fine with car camping too - we just want to keep things as natural as possible. Mawhe Acres - a 25 acre farm, much of which is raw land and woods in their natural state, undeveloped and not farmed for decades - is an official National Wildlife Federation® (NWF) Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site. NWF recognizes our commitment to sustainably providing the essentials of wildlife habitat - natural sources of food, water, cover and places to raise young. The abundant wildlife around includes deer, squirrels, red foxes, turkeys, chipmunks, groundhogs, raccoons, opossums, woodpeckers, owls, and birds of prey (mostly red-tailed hawks and vultures). We have a small lake with good fishing and acres of woods to explore. There are some footpaths for easier walking. We want to share our beautiful land for our guests to enjoy taking in the sights and sounds of the forest which can help you relax. In fact, it’s possible that time in the great outdoors can boost both your mental and physical health. For example, the science on "forest bathing" (also called "forest therapy") makes a convincing argument that spending time communing with nature can improve stress, anxiety and depression. For those who want a little action, we sit behind a new football facility where you may be able to catch a game or two if you're interested.

Cross Winds Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents150 acres · Falmouth, KY

PLEASE NOTE: PENDLETON COUNTY IN KENTUCKY CHARGES AN OCCUPANCY TAX FOR OVERNIGHT ACCOMODATIONS OF PEOPLE. Consequently we cannot provide overnight accommodations except for animals needing lay-up, hospitalization, or overnighting. Parking, however, is available. Many years ago, this property was known as Cross Winds Farm due to the crosswinds coming in from all directions at times. After being sold twice, the purchasing owner renamed the farm Quail Run. Did you ever hear the superstition that renaming a farm can bring bad luck? It appears to be true in this instance, as the owner of Quail Run experienced several financial difficulties and the property eventually sold at auction. About 8 years later the property came up for sale again. It was at this point we purchased the land and built the farm and our home. In researching the history of the property, we came across the original name and decided to restore to original name. Learn more about this land: Enjoy the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from this working horse farm and veterinary hospitalization facility while sharing the rolling hills and hiking trails with nature. The stars have never appeared brighter without the light pollution found in more densely populated areas. You will pull in on a private gravel road which runs along top a ridge. Once you arrive at the horse barn, parking is very nearby and we will direct you where to pull in. We will park you in as level of a spot as we can for you. Depending on number of other RVers and first arrivals, your parking may be on a bit more of a slope. Please note, you will be parking in a grassy area and be prepared in the event mother nature were to decide to bring rain. Heavy amounts of rain coupled with a heavy rig could lead to difficulties pulling out if you aren't prepared ahead of time with the proper equipment. We are happy to provide a tour of our Equine facility and what we do here. Depending on case load, we may or may not have hospitalized cases at any given time.
