When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision? We're a family that loves to camp; and while we love a stop at a KOA or community campground, we sometimes crave quiet time in nature without the noise and distraction of other campers. That's what makes The LAAAAND so special. The property is comprised of 50 pristine acres, with a mix of fields and woods, that bump up against another 250 acres owned by our family friends. The southern perimeter of the property is all cliff line, so you feel truly remote. The possibilities of sound pollution are limited to a far-off dog barking, horses being ridden down a nearby trail, or the possible hum of a distant lumber yard. Other than that, you'll mostly hear the wind rustling trees, deer and critters making their way through the woods, and possibly a waterfall at certain times of the year. Oh, and you will absolutely hear whipoorwhills, most likely at a time you'd rather not (we've decided they're charming). Over the nearly 2 decades we've owned this property we have spent countless weekends enjoying the simplest of pleasures; watching butterflies dance in the tree canopy, having dance parties at sunset on the deck, forging new trails and hiking into the unkown, sitting in the truck bed late at night gazing at a star-covered sky counting shooting stars. If you are looking for a space and place to reset and reconnect, The LAAAAND is waiting for you. (***Please note, we leave our personal camper on the property for the camping season, so you will see it when you arrive to the right of the campsite***)When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision?

Peaceful Isolation

The isolation and wooded area was just what we were looking for. The grass was tall in the access lane but motorcycles still made it and our 30 trailer did too.

I don’t even know where to start! This property is absolutely gorgeous. The trail markers around the property show off some of the coolest spots, but even just relaxing by the fire pit was beautiful. Lots of wildlife sounds especially at night. The site is very secluded and feels like a backcountry camp! This is my favorite Hipcamp find so far! Will hopefully be back soon :)

The best spot in Kentucky!

Tent · With pets

My wife and I stayed here with our pup in a rooftop tent on our truck. We had an unbelievable time and the land was incredible to stay on. Back by the deck there was plenty of shade, keeping it very cool and comfortable in 80°F+ temps. We were very much in the woods, so be sure to treat any dogs for ticks. There were 3 trails on the property that were fun to walk. I would suggest being prepared to walk around in the woods for a while if you plan to walk them. The markings were tough to follow and some of the trials felt more like a deer path than a trail. Overall, I would give it 5/5 as far as a fun place to stay!

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!!!!

Soul soothing

Tent · With kids

Just what my sould neded! Perfect is the first word that comes to mind when I think about our stay! This location was so great we didn't even leave to kayak or hike off the property like we had planned because there is plenty to take in and enough hiking on the property there's no reason to leave! The water falls were so beautiful and the short hike to the cliff edge was perfect for taking in the sunset, we set up a hammock and chair and spent hours there! We had enough service to make and receive calls for a situation that came up at home so that was a plus! The views are like something from National Geographic! The cicadas were everywhere and extremely loud but a sound we got used to, during sunset they quiet down and the whole place comes alive with the sound of frogs, crickets, and the soothing sound of the waterfall. The deck was great it is where we set up our tent and table and chairs for hanging around! Trails were marked and wore down enough to follow easily. The hike down to the waterfall could be tricky of your not sure on your feet, getting back up will test how In shape you think you are as we found out. I have officially added this spot to our favorites list!

We were a group of 6 disabled veterans on a faith based expedition, and this place was perfect! No one around and an amazing location! We stayed during an amazingly powerful storm and did not have any flooding issues. Will absolutely stay again!

Perfect quiet hideaway

Tent

We tent camped here for 4 nights as a base for exploring the Red River Gorge area. The site was perfect for us (2 adults, Jeep camping). Set up the tent on the wooden deck using some paracord to secure it in place. Amazing sunset views, privacy, and tranquility! Highly recommend! 😎

My husband and I loved our camping experience in Cari’s the Laaand. It was fun and weekend is not enough. We loved the short hikes and our favorite is the overlook trail which of course overlooks the Daniel Boone’s Forest. There is no outhouse so better bring your portable toilet ☺️ Overall it was sooo peaceful and serene, we heard roosters at times, but we’re not bothered. The best thing is that we have the place on our own during our stay. 100% sure we’ll book our future camping trips in the Laaaand

Dogs heaven and lots of exploring

Tent · With pets

I've stayed at around a dozen hipcamps around the country, and I have to say, this is one of my favorites. It is completely private and there is much to explore right there on the property. Easy communication with the host, available water, and a few minutes drive from some cool hikes in the red river gorge. I'll definitely be staying here again if I'm in the area.

Awesome Spot

Carli’s land was truly a private getaway. The beauty of the Daniel Boone National Forest without the people. Directions were simple and clear. We took our RV and a couple friends hammock camped. We spent a whole day just hiking around the property. I definitely recommend this spot. We will be back!

Private with great views!

Tent

Awesome property with incredible views. The main camping spot with the deck as well as multiple nearby overlooks, trails, valleys, waterfalls, etc gave plenty of beautiful views to look at while camping and exploring! Camp is far off the road and completely private. The storms had knocked a tree down across the entrance trail and the hosts had it cleared quickly. Would love to camp here again in the future!

This spot was perfect! The directions were perfect and the location wasn’t far from any of the great hikes in the area. The overlook was an awesome trial to watch the sunset. Unfortunately we visited when it’s been super dry so didn’t get to see the waterfalls on the property but I’m sure they are beautiful when running. We will definitely be returning.

A Truly Secluded Campsite

We had an awesome weekend camping on The LAAAAND! Very easy to find and navigate to while feeling very remote at the same time. The deck was a great location to put up the tent and the rest of the campsite was everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back again!

Great Private Campsite

Tent

Beautiful location with trails on the property, the sunset deck is spectacular!. I visited mid-August and the bugs (horseflies & yellow jackets) were very active during the day. Bring a screen tent to food prep/cook and you’ll be fine. This site is close to Cave Run Lake and Daniel Boone Forest trailheads. Really enjoyed this campsite!

Seclusion off the grid!

7 m travel trailer

Camping at The Laaand was perfect for us. Location can't be beat if wanting to visit The Gorge. This is a great place to get off the grid and just relax on a hammock or by the fire. Being back in the trees was great for the sunny hot days. We loved it and may likely come back again the next time we are near.
