Tent

1 night at Kinner Kamping

Accommodation was amazing, I brought own wood but it was still provided. The morning rise over the mountain was breathtaking. Family doggy was so sweet. We ate breakfast together. I offered a tip, they said no thank you. I will be back. A+++ experiance.!

Weekend Trip to Backwoods Hideaway

This spot was remote and secluded but easy to get to. It is surrounded by a beautiful creek and host Aaron thought of everything. This was truly a peaceful escape with the comforts of home but wild enough to feel truly refreshed. My pup Roxy and I cannot wait to be back.

1 night at The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Kimberly was a welcoming and informative host. She had all the local restaurants and a map of hiking places available. I plan to stop by again.

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

We had a wonderful stay at the Kilns! The location was incredibly convenient—just a short drive to many of the main attractions in Red River Gorge. The hostess, Kim, was very friendly and welcoming, and the overall environment was peaceful and relaxing. We especially appreciated the list of recommended locations she provided; it helped us make the most of our time exploring the area. Would definitely stay here again!

2 nights at The LAAAAND (just you & 50 acres)

We think Carli’s place is absolutely beautiful. It’s quiet and there are beautiful views a short hike from the camp spot. And the camp spot has an incredible deck to sit on and watch the natural surroundings. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain but even still it was a wonderful getaway and we will definitely come back!!!!

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

We had a great time tent camping at Possum Ridge! The camp sites were beautiful and spaced out so we had privacy. The bath house was very clean and well maintained. The owners were very accommodating, they checked on us once a day to make sure we were ok and provided drinks and popsicles for the kids along with coffee and other necessities at the common area. We definitely would come back and recommend this place to others!

1 night at Farm and Forest

We had a lovely night all to ourselves on this spacious farm on our drive from Virginia to Colorado . Our dogs loved it! Plenty of games and fun things for kids, including disc golf. We had a couple of questions and the host was very responsive..

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Host was great! Went out of his way to bring us firewood. So kind. Beautiful property. We would definitely stay here again!

a very secluded & beautiful piece of property! i hope to be back soon

Weekend Trip to Possum Ridge Ranch

Great place to relax and hike! It was quiet and peaceful. The owners was always helpful and quick to respond to questions. We plan on coming back hopefully sooner than later.

4 nights at Boone Valley Campground

Boone Valley Campground is the place to be. If you are looking for a nice quiet camping experience you have to check this place out. The owner Ben is one of the coolest fellas you'll ever meet. We camp 10 to 20 times a year and this has been one our our favorite spots ever. Very close to natural bridge and the gorge.

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! Our kids loved playing in the open spaces and we loved the quiet evenings by the campfire. Lovely spot!

Weekend Trip to Farm and Forest

Beautiful property with several spots. We chose to tent camp with electricity in order to work during Friday day and was placed near the stage. We had a wide open space with nice views of the farm. We enjoyed walking the trails. Next time, we will try primitive camping at one of the more private and shady sites. There were a few other campers there which was nice to chat. We were offered the use of the bathroom at the house which worked well for us. Overall, a great stay.

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.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Great little private campground. Everything about my experience was fantastic. Bathroom's could be setup to be more practical and functional with necessities but I made it work. I will stay here again if I am in the area.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Ben was very accommodating to our large group and our needs while we stayed. There were very many options for tent camping.

Weekend Trip to The Kilns @ The Red River Gorge

Land was beautiful! Horses were beautiful! It was so quiet and serene on the land. And close to gas and stores. Hosts were so sweet. They told us about the horses and their names. Kim was very welcoming. She offered to give us a canopy for the rain, she let us use the music stage to hang out hammocks and cook. She even let us plug our electric vehicle into the music stage. We had a wonderful stay, would highly recommend :)

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.

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.

Plantasia Homestead at Anglin Falls

1 site · RV, Tent35 acres · Mount Vernon, KY

Our property, Plantasia, is thirty-five acres of hardwood forest, lined with limestone boulders and sandstone cliffs, the occasional old growth tree, and mineral springs pouring out pure delicious water. The rest of the property is an old Appalachian homestead, featuring organic gardens and orchards, two farm cats and one farm dog, bee hives, and a flock of domestic ducks. The stewards are Phil, Sacha, three year-old Aurora, and baby Arthur. We are particularly keen to welcoming other families and/or folks who live in relative sobriety. The springs feed into creeks which criss-cross the wildflower meadow, creating spaces to splash and explore with the minnows, crawdads, frogs, snakes, and whoever else you might find. To the interest of fossil hunters and rock hounds, the creeks are packed with geodes, agates, and relics of an age when Plantasia was the ocean floor (~250 million years ago). Down the road, the trailhead of one of Kentucky's greatest waterfalls, Anglin Falls, is within walking distance (though you can also drive there and park). Plantasia is also a short drive from Berea, the folk art capital of Kentucky, which features plenty of local shops and restaurants, as well as some beautiful trails on the outskirts of town (Brushy Fork for a relaxing stroll, or the Pinnacles for a big majestic hike).
