The dwellings are spaced far enough apart for privacy yet not to far of a walk to the common area where the kitchen and shower are.

Tent

1 night at The Meadows at Poplar Creek

We spent a few nights at the campsite while we explored the OHV trails and downhill mountain bike course at Windrock. The thought of tent camping in one of the huge gravel parking lots surrounded by throngs of people and the rattle of RV generators at one of the large campgrounds in the area held no appeal. This spot was peaceful and quiet, just what we were looking for. Extra bonus points for the burbling creek, the amazing assortment of birds that flew around us in the mornings, and quick and easy access to the trails. No conveniences at the site but $3.00 will buy you a shower at the Windrock Campground, and possibly other campgrounds around.

1 night at Cascades at Waterloo

Stayed one night in the dry camping area. Easy place to get to. Wonderful sounds of owls hooting and coyotes howling through the night. Bring about 3-4 inch of leveling blocks since the ground is has a slope to it. Ground is more level towards the street but gets steeper as you get closer to the trees.

4 nights at Camping at Redtail Farm

Dylan is an excellent host! He gave us our privacy His dogs are so sweet, they'll wander around but they listen well. It feels odd camping on the side of someone's driveway, however, youre within 12 minutes of a gas station and stores and it's so quiet! Would definitely recommend for a quick getaway with 4 people max. May be a tight fit for 2 tents. Definitely coming back!

Weekend Trip to Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

This was perfect. You can walk to the water and fish, the portapotty is close to all the camp sites and she gets them cleaned weekly. We drove our truck to the site and the person next to us had an SUV and we had zero trouble getting to site. Banks end looked like the best site since it has the whole end to itself and closest to the water. Sites are well separated and a good space for group camping! Lots of add ons offered by the host from eggs to fishing bait and she delivers your firewood. Close to Cumberland falls and was just an hour and a half drive from Knoxville for a weekend get away!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the campground. Everything was as described and expected. The host was awesome and very attentive. There was a Chili Cook-Off and Halloween party going on while we were there and it was so much fun. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. We will definitely be coming back many times in the future.

6 nights at Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground

I spent a week on Amber's beautiful land. It is a very peaceful location and Amber was a wonderful host. The river itself is beautiful to look at but shallow and very silty so not great for kids wanting to swim or play in the water. I would absolutely come back.

Great little spot! Had some fun leveling our truck for the RTT but slept like a baby afterwards.

You know a dream is like a river. Ever changin' as it flows. Patrick's Point River Camp is a dream coming true.

2 nights at Patrick's Point River Camp

My family and I had a fantastic stay tent camping at Patrick’s Point. We will definitely be going back. The facilities were very clean and accessible. Our host, both Patrick and Angelica were warm and welcoming. I recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing time.

The primitive campground is nice for your off-grid camping.

Another night and day here. Did not want to leave. This place is such a treasure. Hiked to 1 of the waterfalls again and only thing to be desired (besides wishing we had more time to spend) is that fellow visitors would not leave their trash behind. Love coming here and eager to return.

The host was beyond amazing ~ and her place was nothing short of that. Sycamore Cove is a beautiful retreat on the Cumberland River, but still very easily accessible without 4-wheel drive long as you have a lick of sense. I highly recommend staying here, and I highly recommend the experiences that are offered, as well as those farm fresh eggs...she has a genuine love for her animals and takes such good care of them ~ I will definitely be back, and in the meantime, I will be singing her praises 🏕 5 out of 5 stars 🌟

5 nights at Patrick's Point River Camp

We had a very relaxing and peaceful five-night stay at Patrick’s Point River Camp in our 21’ camper. This is a huge property on the Cumberland River in southeast Kentucky. They offer everything from remote primitive tent camping to FHU RV sites. Our Premium RV site on the river could benefit from more gravel but was located under shade mere steps away from the shower house. Access to the campground could be challenging for an inexperienced driver pulling a car behind an 45’ Class A, but the road in was fine for us pulling a small trailer. Bathroom and shower facilities were clean and had good hot water and water pressure. The real reason we’ll be back was the hosts Patrick and Angelica. We have never been made to feel so welcomed in the five years we’ve been camping. They have mastered the perfect blend of providing excellent service and giving their guests space. Eager to offer recommendations for adventures or eating establishments, we were treated like family. We highly recommend Patrick’s Point River Camp!

Great views, no one else was camping (in tents) when we were there. Directions to get to property were clear. The path was grown up towards the end and some maintenance would be nice. Bathrooms were clean. Overral very happy with our stay!

Always a pleasure! They offer many opportunities to have just the experience you’re looking for. It has the perfect balance of feeling off the grid and can provide you that experience, yet has many amenities available if you aren’t feeling quite up to truly being off the grid. I can’t think of a better place for kayaking, hiking, and communing with nature. A real gem of a place and we look forward to visiting every year.

Definitely need AWD or 4x4, could use a little clearer signage on what is a site or what is just a trail, but the fire pit and grill set up were cute. They were very honest in the description about no potable water, toilets, etc so make sure you come prepared! Stunning wooded area

Sycamore Cove is a spectacular site; right on the river, private, peaceful, it’s a little a slice of paradise. Although primitive there are facilities close by, and they deliver your firewood right to your campsite. Highly recommend staying here !
