Enjoy it all on over 150 acres of private land. Setup camp at a freshly mowed site then explore all that this beautiful historic property offers. Venture into the forest and seek out a view atop a mountain, then take in the abundant wildlife along the riverfront! This is an old homestead site located in Heidelberg, KY on the Kentucky River, just 20 minutes from the Red River Gorge Geological Area. From the riverbank, the property slopes upward across several fields and up a mountain of densely populated trees. There is a boat ramp just across the blue bridge that offers easy river access for boats, kayaks, and canoes. This spot has it all! Camp, kayak, fish, hike, relax and enjoy some of the best scenery Kentucky has to offer!

Red Gate Hollow @ Horns River
3. Red Gate Hollow @ Horns River
28mi from Winchester · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
The property is tucked away from a side street with a small access drive. The hallow is sloping up to the underside of cliffs, surrounding the property on 3 sides.
Climb to overlook the Valley and discover any of the 6 springs... or find a new one. They all converge into a beautiful creek. Enjoy the creek-side quiet and explore the landscape to find native wildlife. Blueberry bushes growing wild on the property.
Test your off-grid skills but beware of some of the more dangerous local wildlife. NO FIRES. NO GUNFIRE. NO FIRES.
There are 2 designated camping areas creekside, see the property map for locations. Vehicles must stay before the gate at AREA 1. Mind the 8' clearance at the access road! Larger vehicles may want to stay at AREA 1.
AREA 2 is behind the gate and is accessible by foot only. The access road gets you close to the gate to park. This area is in the process of being cleared for better access but can be used already.
Be safe and have fun exploring!

5 miles north of the Red River Gorge, 18 miles north of Natural Bridge, 3 miles off Sheltowee Trace, just up from Broke Leg Falls, at the Daniel Boone National Forest, just south of Cave Run lies 20 acres of secluded hillside forest. With more than 2 miles of trails, a seasonal waterfall, and a cliff face, this private getaway is perfect for people who want to have the option to explore the popular places nearby, or just hike and camp on your own. Bring your kayak for a private float to Beaver Creek or just swim in the watering hole at the end of the street. Then at night, marvel at all of the stars that you just can't see at home.

The trail was well marked and had a nice climb to the back of the property to a very secluded amazing spot with towering cliffs as a backdrop. My wife really loved all the ferns along the way.
