Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Escape to a private, primitive riverfront retreat along the North Fork of the Kentucky River. Our quiet, drive-up campsites offer assigned, thoughtfully spaced platforms with fire rings for a true back-to-nature experience. Enjoy easy river access for fishing, paddling, or simply relaxing by the water. With no utilities and minimal development, this is the perfect spot to unplug, unwind, and enjoy peaceful nights under the stars—just you, the river, and the fire!Site 1 is conveniently located near the end of a private drive, a little over 100 yards from the private river access. It features an 8'X12' elevated platform, a picnic table, and a cozy fire ring, offering a perfect blend of comfort and nature.

Hidden Bend Site 1
Host was very responsive when I had questions before the trip! Easy to find location and you have the whole area to yourself. The river access was easy to get to and my dog enjoyed swimming in the water! You can hear the cars on the bridge at night, but you feel far enough away still. we will definitely be back!

Michael’s site was an absolutely perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. My girlfriend and I relished immediately in the quiet and loved the amazing diversity of mature tress surrounding the tent pad. We even woke up to a beautiful wood thrush call every morning! We will definitely be staying again!
