Stories from the community

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

We had the best time at Hideaway Hills! The site itself is spacious and beautifully laid out with plenty of room to spread out, unwind, and truly enjoy nature. The hosts thought of everything: they provided fresh water, a fire starter, and even a lighter, which made getting settled in super easy. The site was much larger than expected (pictures def don’t do it justice!) and we had plenty of room for us to spread out, which is nice when traveling with teenagers. The privacy tent and camp toilet were thoughtful touches that made the primitive setup feel so much more comfortable. My husband and I really enjoyed our coffee in the morning on the deck while the kids slept in, soaking in the peaceful surroundings before the day got going. Fishing was absolutely amazing (the catfish are HUGE) and the nearby hiking trails were well marked and full of wildlife. We saw deer just off the trail, and the kids got a kick out of the owls hooting all around us. Even though we didn’t bring our dogs this time, we definitely will next time! The site is incredibly dog-friendly, with water bowls, treats, and the sweetest resident dogs It’s rare to find a place that feels this peaceful and secluded, yet so welcoming. Kelli and Doug went so above and beyond, you instantly feel like family. Can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Hideaway Hills Primitive Camp

I’ve stayed at this campground multiple times, and I have to say—it’s one of the best, if not the best. The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay even better, whether it’s bringing you an extra lighter or helping you up the hill to your campsite. They’ve got you covered! This is my favorite place to camp, and I’ll keep coming back—so should you!

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.

7 nights at Pine Tree RV Park

Myhio Haven Horse Farm

4 sites · Tents60 acres · West Portsmouth, OH

Established in 1983 on a 60-acre plot of land right in the Shawnee State Forest. The property is beautiful with flat land, fields, and at the back are the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. We put a horse farm on the land in 2000. The horses here are my family and I want to expand and offer more opportunities on the land. That's when I came across Hipcamp! I'm excited to share a piece of my heaven that I'm fortunate enough to call home.

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.
