Highly recommend. Our host Scott was great at communicating and the accomodations was exactly what my wife and I wanted. If you're looking for peace and quiet this is the spot. Looking forward to a return trip.

2 nights at Trace Space KY
Super happy to have found this sweet little spot ...even though it's in a residential area with neighbors around, there's a sense of privacy thanks to the fence that goes around part of the cabin site. I was never bothered by anyone in the area and was left to enjoy the site in peace. I'm a solo female traveler and felt very safe in the space. Recommended for single travelers or couples who want to get close and cozy. It's far enough from main roads that I wasn't bothered by traffic noise.
For someone who usually primitive camps to save money on travel, the site is an incredible value with the included convenience of a protective roof over your head, a clean porta potty only several steps away, and parking right next to the site. Packing in and out has never gone so easily and quickly for me as it did here. And whenever you need something or have a question, MJ is so quick to respond and helpful in every way!
Things to know before you go: Cell service is a little spotty at the site (I have TMobile). The cabin's wifi helps get your directions downloaded when you want to go places. You have to drive about 20 minutes for gas and ice, and about 30 minutes for restaurants as close as Morehead. If you go there, visit the Fuzzy Duck for coffee/tea and Coffee Tree Books, great local shops all in the same building.
Lovely birds in the area and spectacular summer night lightning bug shows. The gooseberries in the garden were a special treat.
I can't wait to book again!

Weekend Trip to Trace Space KY
We loved our stay at Trace Space! It truly is a unique place. The A-frame is spacious, comfortable, and really has everything you need. The whole site site is adorned with thoughtful personal touches and makes for magical stay. Theres the pollinator friendly garden, fire pit sitting area, handpainted picinc table, firefly light show, handcrafted artwork, starry night, and so much more. The A-frame frame opens up and and creates a nice little veranda feel. Mother nature decided to hit us with 90+ temps but it never felt like that there. It's a 5 star setup.
The hosts were absolutely amazing. I let them know I was traveling with my daughter see the area and they went above and beyond. They knew all the spots and events going on. They made some special arrangements for her visit that made it truly memorable. She checked off a couple bucket list items! They were super helpful and absolutely wonderful. 10/10!
There are so many things to do within an hour or less: Red River Gorge, Daniel Boone National Forest, Carter Caves, Natural Bridge, Cave Run... We didn't even scratch the surface. That said, I'd have been just as happy in the cabin reading or drawing the weekend away.
So grateful to have found and be hosted by Trace Space. We'll be back for sure!

My husband and I stayed here with our mini schnauzer. We loved staying here and will be back. Our son, grandson and his dog met us here. Very peaceful campground. We happened to luck out on dates and there was a music festival. Nice to hear live music!
Owner is very helpful with any needs.
Showers and bathrooms were clean and in working order. Hope to be back to this area and will stay here again.
This was our first Hip Camp reservation. Went very well! Thanks Ben!

We had an amazing time primitive camping on Mr. Ben’s land! He was a wonderful host and his little buddy Max by the shower house is just the cutest camp helper ever! I’m a flatlander so I misjudged my vehicles capabilities at one point and Mr. Ben got it out for me! I can’t say enough good things about this hidden gem near Red River Gourge! He has some beautiful land with creeks running through it. Magical place.

Weekend Trip to Trace Space KY
We really can’t say enough good things about this space and the host. The space is incredibly relaxing and comfortable. The birdwatching is amazing. And the garden was beautiful. My wife spent the weekend identifying and researching all of the plants in the garden. We were visited each day by a variety of birds including (but not limited to) Red Headed Woodpeckers, Orchard Orioles, Brown Thrashers, Cardinals, Cedar Waxwings, and many others.
MJ was incredibly friendly and accommodating, answering any question we had very quickly. She is simply the most thoughtful and kind host.
We highly recommend staying here.

Great big flat area with really neat covered eating area and very clean outhouse. Very convient to Gorge related activities. There is road noise but you cannot see the road at all. Nice hike on property. Would visit again.

The site by the big oak tree and very large and flat. Definitely the site to book when you come here. The short hike along the waterfall is nice. The outhouse and outdoor kitchen are great. Will be back for sure.

Wow! It was a lovely experience Judy was amazing and my little brother really enjoyed the toy playroom and all the activities that he was able to do!!! We will definitely be back!! My only suggestions is to put out like a Howell Cattle Company sign because it was a little hard to find and if your taking directions to get there do them to Howell Cattle Company because it’ll take you directly there instead of the address recommended here (I don’t know if it was only our experience but the address provided here took us the wrong way)!

For a family with small kids, this couldn’t have been a better setup! My kids(5 & 7 years old) got to hold baby animals, swim, jump on trampolines, play on playgrounds, and run around until their little legs just couldn’t run anymore. This area is so private, we just had a handful of other families camping so we didn’t have to stress about heavy traffic or people. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer, the true definition of southern hospitality. They brought us so many things, went and blew up some massive bounce houses for the kids to play in, and ran to town to get ice cream everyone. My kids are already begging to go back and we’ve only been home for a few hours 😂 They had blackstones, grills, a fridge and a great covered area to eat meals and hang out.
The literal only thing I’d say is you are on a working farm, you will have some animal noise around while you’re sleeping, but with a white noise machine we had zero issue sleeping through it. We went fully expecting that, and my kids were so excited to see animals it was totally worth it.

We loved camping on Ben’s land! Lots of primitive sites from open field to hammock camping. Shower house is in progress but nicely kept. We camped all the way at the bottom near a small waterfall; 4 wheel drive is highly recommended in some spots at the bottom. Ben came and checked on us and is very pleasant. Would definitely stay again when visiting the area.

Had a blast tent camping with wife, our pup, and a few friends. Grounds were easy to navigate, very spacious, the bathrooms were quite a trek uphill but it was very nice to have access to running water, toilets, and showers! Firewood is available on site for $7 a bundle, the host was great!

Shasta valley was amazing! Such a great little secluded spot, close to some wonderful hiking destinations.
The little trail on site is a nice 10 minute walk to the top of the waterfall.
The composting toilet is a great accommodation.
Samantha's communication was great and it was a wonderful experience!

I loved camping at this quiet and secluded place, I was the only one there so had it to myself. It was extremely quiet, the only sounds I heard were the birds and the wind. There was a gentle rain that gave a special ambiance to camping and sleeping in nature, certainly a special place that I will come back to in the future.

We went in late April. We were the only occupants. We had the pick of the lot so we had a chance to check out every option. There were options close together and spots that seemed isolated. Every spot offers something for every camper.

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.

We loved bringing our teardrop trailer to this beautiful private property! We are new to the area and this was the perfect spot for our family. We felt so safe and comfortable and had everything we needed! Our camper did wonderful by the pond! We did hiking every day at red River Gorge and it was so nice coming back to this nice private spot (spot by the pond). We did this trip in March so even though the nights were chilly we did just fine and everyone was sad to leave! Thank you guys for such a great experience and for sharing your property with us!
