Farm and Forest

Due to the sharp entrance from the road to the driveway, we CANNOT accept rigs over 34' long.  We cannot accept 5th wheels (due to height) because of some lower hanging tree branches along the driveway.  WE DO NOT ACCEPT LONG TERM STAYS! 

This land has previously been a tobacco farm, a hay farm, and is now home to a few beef cattle. We have blazed trails through the woods for hiking, created campsites with fire rings, farmed hay, and grown various vegetables for self-consumption. We love the proximity of the farm to town, yet the seclusion we feel when we are on the farm.  

Campsite with fire ring, accessed by car or short hike. Can accommodate up to four tents, and hammocks.

Campsite at creekside, accessed by a short hike. Can accommodate up to 2 tents.

The natural spring and creek beginning. Accessed by hiking trail.

Fire pit creek side

Learn more about this land:

A quaint creek side retreat with a fire pit! Enjoy views and sounds of the creek from your campsite. Expect to see families of turkeys, deer, turtles, many beautiful birds and more! Chill out or walk along the creek Along our driveway as we work to grow our organic farm homestead.

** please note we have a few site  options for camping which we are happy to tell you more about! Large RVs and campers are welcome but will likely want to stay in the area before our bridge (we are happy to send pictures). Long campers and RVs that are low to the ground may scrape / bottom out going across the bridge.

WARNING: The driveway leading to the campsite is a long, steep, gravel driveway with a concrete bridge at the bottom. The bridge also has fairly steep embankments on both sides (entering and exiting) with a turn heading into the site. A 4WD vehicle will be necessary for anyone pulling an RV as we have had at least one guest get stuck halfway up the hill when exiting with a two-wheeled truck with a V8 engine pulling a small RV. 

In addition, you will likely need a brake-control system installed for coming down the hill. Front-wheel drive vehicles with high clearance should be satisfactory to cross the bridge and exit the steep hill as long as you are not pulling an RV. 

Please don't hesitate to reach out with specific questions! We operate on a first come first serve basis and promise to get back to you asap!

Hones Pointe Campground

Hones Pointe was established in 1988. It was built by four insurance agents to elude our sales managers so we could enjoy a unique natural setting. Over the years, we have planted many different varieties of trees and perennials to observe. Also evidence exists of this area being an Indian camp long ago as suggested by arrowheads and an old handmade rock wall.

Primitive camping where you can pick your own scenic spot. We will furnish picnic table, fire ring, garbage can, and charcoal grill during your campout.

Welcome!

Queenslake - Classic KY Horse Farm

A long time ago, in a land far away, there lived a beautiful princess who dreamed of a spacious and beautiful farm.  She fancied horses running playfully in the pastures; plenty of goats, geese, chickens, dogs, and cats roaming freely. She saw herself sitting beside a large lake under a willow tree, sipping tea or lemonade every afternoon just before her nap.

Then one day, a prince came along and said, "As You Wish."

Queenslake is a 140 acre working horse farm with a 40 acre fishing lake with three barns and 30 horse pastures.  Trails are located around the lake and through the forest for hiking, jogging, biking, ATV, horses.  Great scenery.  Awesome sunrises/sunsets.

Summers in the south get stupid hot. So I jumped in the lake. And I don't regret it.

Hidden Lake Farm

 Small family run private farm. A few primitive camp sites back by the lake. We do have a bathroom with shower at the barn by the entrance for use by guests. A portajon back by the lake. please message if you have any questions. We took a little break but are back. 

Tons of places to set up tents, but I hid from the July sun in a little grove of trees.

A little obsessed with these ghosty trees in the lake. Super neat.

Pretty gentle road back to the campsite. Only a couple rough spots, but most vehicles could make it!

There were a couple of squirrels around that legitimately threw things at me from the trees... but they were cute so I let it slide.

Quick path to the water right outside my tent.

Sisters hiking out to look at the deer and turkey

This is the longing look you get when you forget your fishing poles.

Terrapin Hill Farm

The land that is now Terrapin Hill Farm has been a gathering place over the ages, and we have continued the tradition with music festivals, yoga retreats, weddings, and other celebrations. We believe that getting out in Nature... by camping, hiking, gazing at a campfire or at starry skies... is not only beneficial but necessary to our mental health. That's why we want to share our little slice of heaven with others.

Little Slice of Heaven <3

Learn more about this land:

I live on 5.5 acres.  It's peaceful and quiet and I love it here.  I've stayed at other hip camps and simply decided that I would love to share my little slice of heaven with others passing through my area.&nbsp; Notes: there is a wee bit of road noise, I live on a dead end road, there are 10 acres between my 5 acres&nbsp;and the Blue Grass Parkway.&nbsp; I find it peaceful here and can easily ignore it but I'm mentioning it so your not surprised by it&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; The Neighbors dog may come visit while you are here but is very nice and leaves if you tell him to  :)

You are welcome to hang a hammock in a small section of woods, by a small pond, or even on my covered porch.

You are welcome to pitch a tent anywhere you like.

You are welcome to park an RV or vehicle in the drive.&nbsp; The drive is about 250ft long, you would need to back in in order to hook up to the 50 amp plug.

RV's can use the 50 amp plug (30 amp will need an adapter.  I have one you can use if you don't own one of your own) and hose for water. 

I have an outdoor shower and a camping toilet.

I am ...

- one hour from Lexington, Louisville, Elizabethtown, and Frankfort.- 1 mile from a mini mart with Gas, Ice, Pizza, Chicken Wings, Sandwiches, ect.- 6 miles from Dollar General and A pizza Restaurant - 15 ish miles from Wal-mart and other chain stores and restaurants

I'm a great travel guide so feel free to tell me what your in town for or things you like to do.  I will happily make you up a list of things to do and see and places to eat.

Keenland, Churchill Downs, The Bourbon Tour (Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Heaven Hill, and many others) are within an hour of here.  Also within an hour are 2 great bike paths, wonderful hiking and kayaking.  As well as Great Shopping and Restaurants.  Anything your heart desires.

Using GPS Directions i would suggest avoiding Tunnel Mill Rd and Murphy Lane if towing a camper or driving an RV.

Pictured is our beloved Red Bud Meadow, where we had our first picnic as brand new homesteaders with two small boys, and where over last 35 years so many memories have been created, like the one seen here, a cowboy campout we did for our boys & their friends. 

Camping Along the Old Bison Trail

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.
