Our goal was to find a place we could wake up in the woods, and this was the spot! Nice having coffee on the deck overlooking the property and ending the day w a fire. We were pretty self-sufficient, but my impression was that if we needed something we could just message to ask. I would have liked to be more social w. our hosts but just didn’t have the energy; the whole point of us being there was for a much needed respite. Also we were there during the work week and they were busy going about their business. We stayed in the treehouse and didn’t need the heat even, it is pretty well insulated which also cuts the train noise others commented on. Super cute goat! Very personable turkey! Definitely the woods go back a fair ways for exploring. We found good nearby hikes too; the big loop around the lake at Metamora-Hadley was a really good route.

Weekend Trip to Jacs bunkhouse
Stumbling across this bunkhouse online was the best thing that could've happened! I just wish I found it sooner in the summer! My husband and I had the most wonderful time. The hosts are the most wonderful, gracious, and kind people! I cannot wait to return to enjoy their beautiful cabin and company again!

3 nights at Thousand S.’s Land
If you're looking for a place to get away for a few days I'd highly recommend. Booked during the week in September and had the whole place to myself. Plenty of places to walk around on the property and explore. I stayed in the treehouse and would encourage you to try it for yourself.
The hosts left me pretty much to myself unless I requested something and they were friendly and quick to respond if I needed something (fresh eggs, firewood, etc).
The tent campsites I saw were all nice and clean and were far enough apart to have some privacy if they have multiple guests. They also have a group campground.
One note, watch the chickens, they are sneaky and will sneak up and steal your food if you aren't careful.
I'll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Jacs bunkhouse
My husband and son spent a weekend at Jac's bunkhouse and absolutely loved it. The beach is less than a minute's walk and the area is beautiful. They enjoyed making fire and grilling some steaks on the provided fire pit and Webber. Bed was soft as a cloud and the house was neat and clean with everything they needed. They loved it and I might have to head that way to experience it for myself.

Location was peaceful with a beautiful dark night sky full of stars. Small town was close enough for a meal or any last minute purchases.

We had an awesome time at B’Mos hideout. A great nature sanctuary with a very hospitable and responsible host Bryan - who also gives plenty of space and privacy. We ran out of wood on our second night and Brian popped over in 15 minutes with more bundles. The property is well kept. Great place to hangout and be one with nature. If you’re looking for a hardcore hiking experience tho, this is not that. The trails on the property go in a loop, and there is plenty of hiking to do off trail, but it’s not the miles of trails you may find in a state park. This property is in a rural neighborhood, so some of the neighbors have working dogs, others have shooting ranges, and there is a road nearby so it’s not 100% secluded from civilization. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic way to slow down, recharge, and enjoy the breeze in the trees!

This was my first Hipcamp experience.
Our host was great. They were very responsive and helpful and very accommodating when we got there. They filled tiki torches, delivered firewood, and we had some laughs before we started to set up camp.
The site was clean and the property is beautiful. We pet the goat, and the turkey laughed at us.
There are outdoor showers (heated) a short walk up the trail. There is a cool trail that loops around the property.
The train, as mentioned by others, did wake me up a couple times. I'll definitely be back at this site but I'm a light sleeper and will just bring my loops/ear plugs.
Sleeping in may also be tough considering the rooster. I usually sleep in on weekends but we were excited to wake up and get the fire going again.
There are portable toilets which are way better than up against a tree.
The location is great coming from metro area - Oxford Grill is a nice stop on the way in or out and Bald Mountain recreation area/shooting range.
Surprisingly low amount of mosquitoes/bugs while we were there.

Loved our stay, it was a total vibe- very raw land which we appreciate. The goat, chickens, and turkeys follow you everywhere (including the shower) which is hilarious, as they become your own personal groupies- they are little thieves though, so keep your food guarded, they stole a peach from our toddler and some watermelon. Don’t worry it was local and organic. The zip line into the swimming area was really fun and we loved hearing the train pass by several times a day. Our only issue was the amount of poison ivy at two of the RV sites, with a toddler and a dog who love to explore it was impossible to stay out of it. Luckily we were able to utilize a different area for socializing but if the spots are all booked this wouldn’t have been an option. All that said we would still recommend this campsite and would love to return in the future. It was peaceful, wild, calming and exactly what we needed. Om Shanti

Weekend Trip to Jacs bunkhouse
My boyfriend and I stayed at this adorable little cabin in Lexington over Labor Day weekend, and it was absolutely perfect! The cabin itself was so cozy and charming, with all the little details that made it feel welcoming and comfortable. We loved the beach access and beautiful views—it was the perfect spot to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. It truly felt like a hidden gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Jacs bunkhouse
Becca’s cabin was perfect for our trip. The close access to the private beach was an awesome perk! The cabin was a perfect size for the 2 of us and the outdoor area is awesome to hang out and have a fire. So close to “downtown” Lexington with plenty of things to do and see. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Jacs bunkhouse
My partner and I stayed at Jac's Bunkhouse for a long weekend and had a wonderful stay! Becca was a gracious host and made sure we had everything we needed, allowing us privacy but assuring us she was always available nearby. The property was super cute and cozy, a very small indoor space (bedroom, bathroom, and enclosed patio with a little dining area) but definitely enough for two people. The views in the yard were serene, and the beach was about a minute's walk away. While the place wasn't equipped with a stovetop or oven, it did have a microwave, mini fridge, and coffee maker, and there were plenty of dining options available in town, just a few minutes away. Overall, I'd recommend the Bunkhouse to any solo/duo travelers looking for a peaceful place to relax and get away on the water.

Had a great time there. Bryan was a great host, very friendly and accommodating! The site was huge compared to other camp sites I've been to before. The clothing optional part was great! Enjoyed the trails in the woods, and the fact that he has the sites sprayed for mosquitoes! Can't wait to go again next year!

3 nights at Jacs bunkhouse
Jac’s bunkhouse was charming and welcoming as soon as you step into the home. You’ve got all the essentials, a microwave, coffee maker, mini fridge, even a charcoal grill and fire pit outside. It’s a cozy private nook surrounded by trees; just steps away from a swim in the lake or a walk along the beach. Walkable to town, with so many options around. Becca was very generous, showed me around, and even fed me a home cooked meal! One of the best hosts I’ve encountered, she also goes above and beyond to make her guests feel more than welcome, and you can feel the love she puts into this little home as soon as you step inside. I would come back here in a heartbeat!

Had a fantastic couple of nights at Thousand Suns with some friends and our kids. Was our daughter’s first camping experience and it was the best location for us! Between the amenities provided and activities on site we had a blast. Jordan (who greeted us and replenished our firewood) was super friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend booking a camping trip here and look forward to returning.
