Country Get-Getaway Near Lex
Nestled not fat from New Circle Road is a hidden gem! If you want a peaceful camping experience near the city of Lexington you MUST visit this farm.
With a choice of multiple dispersed camping sites, find tranquility in a meadow, unwind in a clearing next to the old barn, or leave your troubles behind in the middle of the woods at Creek Peak; Zen is just a short drive from the action of the city. There are a number of sites and this land is well worth the visit.
We stayed at Creek Peak and it was a lovely, spacious spot, cozy and very private! Be aware that you’ll have to carry your gear in, but it’s a short walk. The land has lots of well marked, easy walking trails. If you’re in the mood to see curious cows, they’re in the pasture.
The hosts are very amenable and offered bathroom access (extra fee). All sites have a fire pit and ours had a small table, a lantern hook, and garbage can.
There are some mild city-type noises that can be heard in the distance. The sound of interstate traffic was light and we, actually, kind of like it - it felt comfortable. There was a small aircraft that flew overhead, once, and, on our last day, we heard what sounded like a short train and, if so, it was obviously not very close by. These sounds were brief and they were not an issue for us, at all,
Overall, this is, now, one of our favorite places and it will probably be our new “go-to” for a quick near-Lexington getaway—highly recommend!
