Stories from the community

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.

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!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

Wonderful hosts, beautiful campsite. Well maintained and awesome view. Loved our stay!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Valley River Camp

The campsite along the creek was very secluded and nice. My boys enjoyed playing in the creek and looking for critters. The campsite was very peaceful, and the hosts were super nice! We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks!

7 nights at Secluded Mt. Airy Camp

Wonderful host's, one of cincinnatis hidden gems. If you need to get away but can't go far, this is the place.

3 nights at Quiet Creek Valley

We had a wonderful time at Martha’s land. She was so kind, and helpful. We will be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

We really enjoyed our stay and our three dogs loved , they really enjoyed playing in the water

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

The camping sites are well spaced and site 4 is perfect right alongside the creek.

1 night at Hones Pointe Campground

My dog and I had an absolutely wonderful visit to Hones Point Campground! Steve was a very kind, flexible and communicative host. He suggested a campsite that was just perfect for us, with plenty of room to car camp & two fire pits nestled right along the river and a creek. My dog enjoyed swimming, sniffing and exploring while I fished (caught a bass), searched for fossils/treasurers and cooked over the fire. We slept well to the sound of cicadas, frogs and the babbling river. We certainly hope to return again soon. Thanks, Steve & Co. for a magical stay!

Weekend Trip to Todd’s Fork Adventures

I was skeptical of the reviews that said that you would never know you were camping so close to town… but they were right! Our site was peaceful, tranquil, quiet (besides the cicadas), and private. Everything completely lived up to the descriptions, which is somewhat rare, tbh.

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

Creek site #2 was amazing! The hosts were very nice and friendly. The campsite has a ton of different bird species including woodpeckers, blue jays and white duck we named "Howard." We will definitely be camping here again.

Weekend Trip to Cabin and Tent Camping On The River

We were trying new places after our longtime spot was sold. This was a home run. We’ve found our new place and booked our next trip before we left. Thank you Hunter! We’ll see you next month.

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

I love camping here. All the sites are private and it's gorgeous

Weekend Trip to Quiet Creek Valley

Everything was great, we really enjoyed our stay on Martha's land. The sites sit just next to a great creek and there was a beautiful plot of corn growing. Martha was super responsive and helped us find our site. Would definitely stay again!

6 nights at Sugar Maple Grove Campground

My first Hipcamp as I start traveling as a digital nomad. So hidden away and peaceful, a great place to be. I will for sure be back!! Hosts are extremely available but leave you all the privacy you might want.

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Steve has developed such a great place to camp. It’s clean, well appointed snd thoughtful. We made our reservations for our next stay before we left. I have no negatives at all. Steve was a good host, invisible but immediately available. Perfect combination. We were camping over a long weekend in a tent. The fire ring helped contain a fire and every site had one. We had a nice picnic table and fished in the creek. Look forward to returning.

5 nights at Handyland

Beautiful and open space foe camping. The views, weather and property where better than expected. My boys loved the creek! We typically like to not stay in the same place twice but this might be an exception. Keep in mind this is tick country so come prepared and check often.

1 night at Sugar Maple Grove Campground

Great campground private and comfortable. Wood for sale and outhouse were nice.

1 night at Hones Pointe Campground

We loved the relaxing feel of Steve's place-quiet and lots of beautiful and private spots along the river. It was a wonderful stopover and we were greeted by the sweetest sheep, goats, and a couple of curious donkeys. Steve and his son are super friendly and welcoming. The road in is narrow and winding with little to no shoulder. I'm glad we arrived before dark. Once in though, it was totally worth it. I'd definitely return next time we're passing through Louisville.

1 night at Quiet Creek Valley

Great place right on the river with lots of wild life.

Catfish Ranch Camp

3 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Morrow, OH

2 acres with a 1/4 acre fishing pond, stocked with Channel Cat, Crappie, Bluegill and Bass. Although the catfish have eaten everyone out of house and home. I have a few sites available, or set up where you want. A large fire ring area is available. You can fish, you can eat your catch or keep a few. If chicken eggs are available I will make them available to campers. You can visit the chickens and feed the catfish. These are tent sites and you may have to park your vehicle and walk to set up. Firewood is available for use at the site. We are close to several kayaking rental places along the Little Miami River, Morrow and Morgan's are close by. This would be a good spot to tent camp during the famous Todd's Fork Revival Festival in July as we are just 5 minutes from the site. I will probably be going! Mostly surrounded by a horse farm, so you may have an opportunity to see some horses out in the fields next door. Food, gas, etc. is available within 5 mins into town. Peaceful and one great place to see the stars. Sites are first come first serve on location.

Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

21 sites · RVs, Tents153 acres · Sparta, KY

Peaceful Secluded Campsites are what you want. Several beautiful settings will be what you get and much much more. Our campsites lie along the Old Buffalo Trace, the name given by early pioneers to the massive trail left by centuries of migrating bison that traveled right through this property. Making their way between salt and mineral licks along the Ohio and Kentucky Rivers, these herds were part of the plentiful wild game which was the reason so many local native tribes referred to old "Cain-tuk-ee" as their "Happy Hunting Ground". Our 7 campsites are constructed on "The Old Coates Homestead" where we make our home in the original 1858 Homestead house which we recently restored and where we make our delicious gourmet foods. (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarmstore.com) We have sites to fit everyone's needs. Five sites are accessible by vehicle. Two are "walk in" only. The vehicle accessible sites range from sites for one tent, pop up or van campers, to our featured site "Thistledown Gathering Place" which a large group size setting great for scouting trips, church groups, multi-family camping and parties of up to 16 people. Each site has a fire ring, fire wood is available for purchase, we offer clean and well maintained portable toilets, municipal drinking water, hiking trails, and lots and lots of wildlife to help you commune with the absolute beauty of this peaceful farm named Steepleview Farm (learn more here: www.steepleviewfarm.com). But camping isn't the only reason to choose Steepleview Farm. It becomes base camp for so many people looking to take in the amazing itinerary of activities so close by. Here are just a few: The Ark Encounter The Creation Museum Historic Old Frankfort (state capitol) with historic home and capitol tours Historic Madison Indiana, a river captains town of magnificent homes and a quaint little town for strolling, or the Madison Regatta or the BBQ festival Big Bone Lick State Park, massive prehistoric dinosaur dig Buffalo Trace Distillery Neeley Family Distillery Belterra Casino Clifty Falls State Park Old Frankfort Cemetery, burial site of Daniel and Rebecca Boone and so much more.... And don't forget, the history of this place makes your stay that much more than just a night in a campground. You will be sleeping among the spirits of history, the native Americans who hunted this land, the earliest pioneers who mapped it for the expansion west, the early 1800's homesteaders who cleared and worked the land with teams of horses, the centuries of tobacco farmers who shipped their goods to market on the many rivers and streams that surround you. We work very hard to make this THE best camping destination you will find anywhere. And, upcoming.........Pioneer Log Cabins. We have recently acquired a collection of log cabins for a true to life, historic reenactment staycation. We are fortunate that one of the cabins was the frontier church known as "Shilo Baptist Church" from 1830-1840. The pastor of this church baptized Abraham Lincoln's father and is credited with having changed his attitudes toward ending slavery. Our hiking trails and nature trails bring you lots of knowledge, peace, shade, cool breezes and you can bring your horse (no motorized recreational vehicles) oh and lots of wildlife viewing. Here are a few of our featured campsites: REDBUD MEADOW: Our first campsite used by hundreds of people over the years. A secluded lawn in the midst of redbud trees, easy to drive to and from with a pile of firewood and a metal fire ring. The premier site on our property. THE BAPTISMAL POND: As history goes the pond in front of this site was used in the 1800's for baptisms for the church visible from everywhere on the farm, thus our name. This is a tent site, easy to drive into and out of, fires permitted in season. THISTLEDOWN GATHERING PLACE: This is a very large meadow, surrounded by trees with the capacity for large groups, many tents and gatherings of lots of people. Very level, easy in and out with vehicles. Fires permitted in season. WHITETAIL SANCTUARY: Every night for decades a herd of whitetail deer graze in this pastoral setting. Drive in and out, fires in season. Suitable for a family sized tent. THE PENNINSULA: This camping spot is WALK IN ONLY. You can drive to the trailhead on grass and walk the path to the campsite (about 200 yards). One of two remote sites. It sits in the woods, on the bank of a wet weather creek which flows around two sides of the campsite. Fires permitted in season. TOTEM TREES: This site is WALK IN ONLY. A short hike down the hill from the grass parking area and you have a small spot for a tent, in the woods, surrounded by trees and a lot of standing dead ash which appear as if you are in the presence of totem poles. NO OPEN FIRES. MUST USE BACKPACKER STOVE AND FLAMELESS LIGHTING. SPOTTED FAWN HIDEAWAY: This totally secluded walk in campsite is suitable for a small tent only AND PERFECT FOR HAMMOCK CAMPING. NO FIRES as the site benefits from the shade and protection of overhanging cedar trees and the ground is covered in cedar needles. NO OPEN FIRES. MUST USE BACKPACKER STOVE AND FLAMELESS LIGHTING. SO WHAT'S OUR STORY? https://steepleviewfarm.com/our-history So many great people, so many great stories and so many opportunities to share the blessings of our little piece of heaven with you. We hope to see you here.

Also nearby are several state parks and local favorites such as Big Bone State park, Rabbit Hash,and Riverbend. We have 2 dogs who walk with us on leash and recently added chickens and goats! Elmer and Clyde do like to wander and explore. They are very friendly. Learn more about this land: Gravel driveway leads up to both spots. We do try to keep it maintained, but frequently rain causes ruts faster than we can fill. It should not impede drivability, but use caution and feel free to ask if you have any concerns. #1 improvement planned is paving driveway. You may also experience some vehicle noise from roadway. Typically, as we are on a back road, it is fairly quiet but some drivers may be louder than others and some evenings see more traffic. Level gravel area for RV parking, second plateau available for multiple tent sites. Campfires in designated area. Deer, wild turkeys, opossums and raccoons are plentiful and often wander through. Less common are foxes and bald eagles that make their home at Doe Run Lake nearby. Main home on property but only close enough for assistance, not interference. Homesteading in progress with many improvements being added. Property is close to Creation Museum and the Ark. 10 minutes from restaurants and expressway but feels like a retreat. Wi-fi, trash, private area for camp toilet, fire ring, water, camp stove (available in extras). Optional tent and chair rentals.

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.
