Weekend Trip to The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

My husband and I loved our camping experience in Cari’s the Laaand. It was fun and weekend is not enough. We loved the short hikes and our favorite is the overlook trail which of course overlooks the Daniel Boone’s Forest. There is no outhouse so better bring your portable toilet ☺️ Overall it was sooo peaceful and serene, we heard roosters at times, but we’re not bothered. The best thing is that we have the place on our own during our stay. 100% sure we’ll book our future camping trips in the Laaaand

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

The camping spot was big and clean. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Offered to help if we needed to start a fire.

3 nights at Backwoods Hideaway

Absolutely loved my stay at the Backwoods Hideaway! The perfect little spot to getaway! I loved listening to all the sounds of nature, rocking away on the porch encapsulated in a good book, reading by candlelight and listening to the whipporwills and sounds of the creek flowing falling to sleep! Couldn't asked for a better escape to relax and recharge! Thank you Aaron and family for opening up your lovely cabin for all to enjoy!

1 night at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Beautiful location right by the pond. I’d never heard frogs chirping that loudly - and I loved it. Hosts brought over extra firewood and local tips. Couldn’t have been nicer. Will definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Second time we have stayed here at just as awesome as it was the first time. Hosts are great and super friendly and accommodating. Super close to the gorge. Highly recommend!

1 night at Firefly Hills RV and Glamping Park

Awesome place - everyone was so friendly. Best bathrooms I’ve ever used camping! 10 out of 10

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Very nice hosts with cool stickers for staying 👍 Nice open area with a primitive feel

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Fun little campground with a rustic and eclectic vibe. We stayed in the fort room which was cozy and comfy. Clean bathrooms with hot showers!

Weekend Trip to Rushing River RV/Camping

Very nice and relaxing place, beautiful almost mountains and the hosts were fantastic. It felt very private but not alone. There are several houses on the property. So there were people if you needed them. Also an interesting little town. I will be going back with my wife for sure. Natural bridge is 15 miles away and town is 10 minutes but it doesn’t feel like it. The hookups are in great shape and the lot is easy to get in and out of. Best part was the neighborhood Labrador who was very playful and sweet. Didn’t catch his name, but he tried to steal my water bottle, then the chocks for my camper, and finally some of my firewood. Then he noticed I was cooking pork chops and became very well behaved. LOL. He had to come back for breakfast and say goodbye. Gassiest dog I’ve seen in a long time and well behaved.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Very nice clean campground. It had rained a lot before we got there and it was still wonderful. There were no other campers there as I believe this is somewhat off season. They have bands there on weekends during season. I will be staying there if I go back to red river again. Host is fantastic. You won't regret your choice. Oh yeah, the bathroom facilities for primitive camping.. VERY NICE. Flush toilets and I came in at around 2am with 0 problems. Host did come down to check on us in the morning and was around during departure.

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

As a seasoned hipcamper, this has to be my favorite site so far. Kim and Scott were beyond amazing hosts. They started a fire for us and provided so many accommodations due to the crazy weather during our stay. They are so friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for somewhere that is central to all of the best hikes that Red River Gorge has to offer, this is the ideal site. I will absolutely be booking at the Kilns again.

Weekend Trip to Big Laurel Ranch

The land (both forest and pasture) was beautiful and the hiking was spectacular! The hosts were very friendly and happy to help out when I needed something. I would absolutely return in the future

1 night at Punkin Hollow Resort

I had a great time visiting on a solo trip with my dog! Everything was clean and enjoyable, and the creeks are pretty to walk along. If you're visiting in March/April, make sure to look at upcoming weather for potential storms. We got caught in an overnight thunderstorm, which made the creek water rise and was not passable for my low car (Ford Fusion Hybrid). We ended up having to stay an extra night, but it all worked out well! The host was understanding, a fellow camper shared their food, and Jon was responsive and super helpful! We would definitely visit again.

1 night at Possum Ridge Ranch

Very nice camping area and bath house. Excellent view of sunset and stars in highest camping area.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

We LOVED camping here, Jamie was so helpful in finding our campsite in the dark- and when we woke up we were in such a nice little spot in the woods! Absolutely everything we were looking for in this camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

Such a cool place. So nice to be off-grid to just be in nature. I enjoyed putting my phone down and just hanging out by the creek. Felt like a good brain reset, and cabin was so cozy.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Lots are very separated with lots of flat spaces and Jamie was very accommodating when we asked to be closer to the woods. Price is great even with no water, elec, bathrooms, etc....

4 nights at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Hosts were super kind. Property was beautiful and perfectly located. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning soon.

4 nights at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

The Kilns is a lovely site and a short drive to Red River Gorge. Kim and Scott were fantastic hosts and we will definitely book with them again.

6 nights at Oasis Point Rv Resort & Adventure Lake

This place is accommodating. It is a great place to stay if you’re needing a full hook up.

Close to Adventure

1 site · RV, Tent44 acres · Frenchburg, KY

My place is secluded and peaceful. Its a wooded country setting and is a primitive site. There are no facilities or utilities, there is an outhouse/self composting (follow up your business with dropping leaves in after). It may not be suitable for children as there are active brush/wood burn piles on the land. See all photos and ask questions, please. I want it to be enjoyable for all who book. It’s also noteworthy that there are dogs in the area that roam free, it’s way out in the country, there are no leash laws. I’ve never had any issues with unfriendly dogs, but always be aware. It’s at a dead end road, no thru traffic. You can stay and enjoy some amazing stargazing, (there is minimal lighting and a very dark, clear view of the night sky) and lots of peace and quiet or explore the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounding the property or travel a short distance and see so many nearby amazing areas…Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park, NADA Tunnel, Sky Bridge, Cave Run Lake, Twin Knobs and Zilpo Recreation Areas, Carter Caves State Park, Grayson Lake, Rudy’s Ranch.

The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

2 sites · RVs, Tents50 acres · Frenchburg, KY

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***)
