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 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. !!

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!!

1 night at Quiet Creek Valley

Dave was very nice and showed me to my spot as well as directing me on where to go if I wanted to explore the property. I stayed at campsite 1 and it was perfect for car camping. Like other reviews said, if you want direct water access it would be best to stay at site 2 or 3. Would love to come here again!

1 night at Three Springs Campground RV Park

Nice vibe very friendly host nice bathrooms and nice shower area

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

I loved the primitive tent camping! Bradley’s backwoods campsite was perfect and secluded. It was peaceful and the petting zoo was perfect. Mr. Ed the mini horse came right up in our campsite and let us pet him and feed him. He was so sweet. Let us take picture with him. Steve was the best host! Loved this little hole in the wall. Also the little signs along the small trails were so funny and gave it the best little homey touch! 1000/10. Thank you all so much!

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

We had an amazing weekend at Hone Camp. Steve was so friendly the campground was so clean and well maintained very comfortable and serene. I totally would recommend this campground

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!

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.

Weekend Trip to Hones Pointe Campground

Very well maintained and each site seemed to offer lots of privacy and all the necessary amenities for primitive camping.

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.

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.

Deer Haven

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Independence, KY

We recently moved from the next county over and are enjoying making this place ours and improvements for guests. Property is 15 minutes south of Cincinnati, close to the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG), close to restaurants and attractions such as Kings Island (approximately 1 hour), Creation Museum (approximately 25 minutes) and The Ark (approximately 25 minutes). 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.
