Stories from the community

1 night at Wooded Nashville Nook

Elisabeth was super communicative and helpful ahead of time, and the spot was ideal! East to get into Nashville, but just out of the way enough to be quiet and slower moving. Flat, accessible, great little outside fire spot, and easy in and out. Thank you for a great stay!

Weekend Trip to On the back of the farm

The quietness was amazing could not hear anything slept so peacefully

2 nights at Beardsnest

We had an amazing time at the frisbee lawn spot in our camper van! Awesome sunsets, beautiful meadow flowers, giant mowed lawn so many options to park depending what views you want with a long cord for power. Kevin was so knowledgeable about the ecosystem on his property and the surrounding area. You can tell he puts a lot of love into his space We did the kayak tour, Kevin dropped us off at the Denison ferry kayak landing and picked us up a couple hours later at the Green ferry landing. The water was moving fast so we just floated down the river. It was great! He was super communicative and we had fun chatting with him We also bought firewood from Kevin so that was very conviennent

3 nights at Beardsnest

Kevin is a great host. Very kind and accommodating with every interaction. It’s a peaceful and beautiful plot of land with lots to do in and around the area. The sunrises are unbeatable.

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Really great spot, laid back camping. Bathroom had towels and toiletries provided which was a really nice touch. Watching sunset next to the horses was really beautiful. (Ps if you are visiting Mammoth Cave National Park it’ll be 40ish minute drive to the visitor center, but when you search for the park itself, Google Maps will say it’s only a few minutes away).

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Nice bathrooms and space for fire pit and campsite. Sites were a bit close, but still a nice spot.

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

i loved the area, everything was amazing! the bathrooms were very clean, there was a lot of space, and the animals were so cute!

1 night at Beardsnest

Nicely situated and well maintained small camp with a fire pit, table and two chairs. Thanks for an enjoyable overnight so close to Mammoth Cave NP.

1 night at Noble Pine Campground

This site was wonderful for our family visiting Mammoth Cave. Kristen was a joy to talk with and very responsive. The animals were lovely to see and interact with, the bathrooms were clean, and the site had everything we needed. Couldn't have asked for a better place. We would love to stay again if we visit again.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Timbers Homestead

Wonderful place to stay. Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed our stay.

1 night at Wooded Nashville Nook

Great space. We were allowed to check in early. Close to the airport which was good for those of us traveling thru the Nashville area.

Weekend Trip to Noble Pine Campground

We had a lovely stay this past weekend! The scenery was beautiful and peaceful — a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The goats, horses, and chickens were such a fun and charming bonus. Kristen was a wonderful host, super kind and welcoming. She gave us a great tour when we arrived and was easy to communicate with throughout. It’s also a manageable and beautiful 40-minute drive to the Mammoth Cave Visitor Center, which made it a great location for our trip. Would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Slab (by the Barren)

Absolutely perfect. Hiking, fourwheeler routes, river fun, plenty of space for privacy, apparently ONLY nice people come here because our neighbors were all kind and helpful. Carrie is a treasure, very accommodating. Concert/hang-out Hall. So neat. Loved my time here.

Weekend Trip to The Slab (by the Barren)

The best trip we’ve had to date! We will definitely be back, this was everything we wanted and more.

3 nights at The Slab (by the Barren)

My husband and all the guys in the family loved staying at The Slab! The uncles and nephews go camping several times a year, but this was the first time to visit The Slab. They loved swimming and fishing in the creek, and love having a place to bring the dirt bikes. The sites are roomy and campground is spread out giving everyone private. Carrie is wonderful host. We will be back!

17 nights at Maple Shade Farm full hookup site

Ditto and Stan were very hospitable. They met me at the site on arrival with a gift and offered their assistance throughout my stay if needed. Enjoyed my two and a half week stay there.

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

This campsite was amazing! Our host was responsive, helpful and kind. My daughter really enjoyed her time with the horses, goats and chickens. We would highly recommend!

2 nights at Noble Pine Campground

Lovely, thank you. Super helpful when our stuff got soaked. Thank you!

Holler Homestead Woodsy Retreat

1 site · Tent4 acres · Lancaster, TN

We discovered this small homestead 18 years ago. It was built by a man preparing to go off grid, but he never did. In the intervening time, we became enthralled with growing vegetables, raising ducks, grazing sheep and hiking the hills behind us. Then Nicole discovered permaculture and began the process of changing the land using these practices. With our three dogs, cats, goats, sheep, rabbits, ducks and chicken (there is only one chicken), things can be pretty merry around her. There are aquaponics and hydroponics to check out for fun. Plus, Nicole is one of the region's only craft coffee roasters, so you are in for a treat if you come visit and like coffee because she tends to make coffee most mornings. Learn more about this land: Hang your hammock or pitch your tent in the back acres of a small homestead integrating permaculture practices. Hang out in our land for your whole visit checking out the holler we live in, dunk in the creek by the road, or drive over the hill to Center Hill Marine, or across the dam to Edgar Evins State park, or canoe the Caney Fork River! Sorry - No dogs please. Kayaking and fishing is also so close you can almost hear it - but you can't. Which is good. Our property has a composting outhouse and the outdoor shower attached to the house has hot and cold water. We also have a nice, outdoor kitchen area to share that has a big sink and blackstone griddle. There is Wifi in the kitchen area and a plug for recharging devices. The camp site is a two-minute walk from the driveway and outhouse so be prepared to carry items in and take your morning constitutional walk. We sometimes have homestead-produced items for sale. This is a functioning homestead, so we may be hosting an open house event, processing animals, or some other fun homestead happening activity during your stay.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are broken hearted to announce that we will be closing our doors at midnight on July 13th 2025. We want to thank everyone that has came out to the farm over the past five years and supported us. It was a genuine pleasure to have the opportunity to meet each and every one of you, and to share our beautiful family farm with you, your families and friends. We will be refunding anyone with reservations after the 13th of July 2025 and hope that you all can find another hidden gem like ours, and continue to enjoy and make memories in the great outdoors. Thank you so much for all of your amazing support, reviews, and recommendations over the years. Our hipcampers are what made The Slab such an amazing place, and we are truly sorry that things didn't work out to where we could stay open. Kent and I are still looking into other options as to how we could move forward in the future with the part of the farm that we still own. So stay tuned for announcements for 2026. You never know what the future holds...

Beardsnest

5 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · Cave City, KY

This new-in-formation ecological art project is currently recruiting visitors to backcountry camp in beautiful fields, on woodland rim sites, or at delicate campsites located along a system of woodland trails. As of 2025, camping here provides a glimpse into the fourth year of succession, which at this phase is characterized by spacious views of a gently rolling young prairie seeded with a growing variety of native flowers. Most likely a good fit for those who are self-sufficient and like to avoid busy camping areas, but still want to get out to the park quickly (~7 miles to the Visitors Center) or travel into Cave City (3 mi) for coffee/ice-cream/pizza/barbecue/bar/food/etc. Expand from the campsite into a sketch-work of trails, as if were camping near the headquarters of a satellite nature reserve. Water tap and hose by main house parking area, for cleaning dishes, spraying off, or filling reservoirs. Camping funds allow us to plant trees (~525 seedlings as of March 2025), establish prairie grasses and flowers, restore wetlands, create trails, and remove invasive species. If you have only 2 days, a nice way to experience Mammoth Cave NP is to break the trip into 3 layers, covering the underworld (cave tours!), upper world (hiking), and the water that connects the two (Green River kayaking). Mammoth Cave is unique in the way that a study of the underworld will repeatedly draw the mind into a creative space of imagining what is beneath the surface, how these worlds are connected, while navigating the land and water. We offer custom kayak departures and pick-ups tailored to your schedule and travel constraints. Thanks to our visitors for supporting this type of project! Bundles of dried and split firewood are available onsite, usually a mix oak with a suggested donation of $6/bundle, delivered to the campsite. Kayaks are hosted on a suggested donation basis ($45), providing a flexible option for visitors to float the Green River through the national park. Pending availability, we offer tent setups as well to folks who want to camp but aren't traveling with gear (REI 4 person Half Dome). Tent setup comes with two sleeping pads (you will need pillows, blankets, etc.).
