This campsite is a delightful escape for those looking to unwind in nature. Campers rave about the well-maintained grounds and the friendly host, Steve, who goes out of his way to ensure a pleasant stay. The presence of farm animals like sheep and donkeys adds a unique charm, and the Little Kentucky River offers opportunities for fishing and relaxation. Despite the occasional early morning animal noises, the peaceful and secluded setting allows for a restful experience.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Quiet lil hidden campground with spacious sites, and pretty close to lots of hooking and kayaking opportunities! Loved having the little "petting zoo" towards the back of the property, the goats are friendly, and Midnight the pony LOVES the attention.

Such a great campsite. So many amenities you could stay busy all day. The grounds were very, very well cared for. Someone puts a lot of work into this place in the spring to clear it up. I was amazed. Wil definitely stay here again when in the area

We only stayed one night, but Steve’s property was beautiful! Very welcoming and comfortable. Our dogs loved walking the property with us and visiting all their new goats and sheep friends!

What a hidden gem! The property is well maintained by the owner. You can tell that he loves his land and wants others to enjoy it as well. We camped with a large group of friends with kids. We will be camping there again!

We had such a blast camping at Hones Pointe. We spent one night tent camping over Memorial Day Weekend with our five little kids. The campgrounds are great for families - lots to do, fun areas to wade through the Little Kentucky River, and thoughtful amenities. We'll be back!

This is beautiful land with small, tucked away campsite and also large group sized sites, fun creek with small waterfalls and shallow enough for small kids to play in, playground equipped with balls and rackets and such for outdoor games, and a little petting zoo. Super dog friendly. Decorated with bird houses and feeders, flowers and chimes throughout. Steve is very accessible if any questions/needs arise. Heads up: You'll hear farm animal noises early morning from a neighboring farm, not every site has running water, there are 2 porta pots for the whole land but they are well maintained.

Beautiful spot! Our group included six families and two campsites (one on the hill and one by the creek). We enjoyed fishing in the creek, visiting the animals, watching the kids play in the field, seeing the fireflies come up at dusk, and the milky way at dark. There was much to do and explore with the little ones. It was a bit of a hike to the porta-potty and water spigot from our sites, but other than that, it was a perfect stay for our camping weekend with friends!

I loved all the personal touches at Hones Campground. I'm definitely planning to go back in the future when I have more time, as this was a working trip. I didn't even get to explore the half of it. Beautiful land, and beautifully put together campground. I haven't seen most public bathrooms as clean as the porta potties they supply for their tent campers!!

Quiet, beautiful campground! The petting zoo is amazing, along with the free-roaming sheep, donkey, and mini horse. We live in Louisville, and this was a perfect not-too-far place to have a little getaway.

This campground is beautiful! The host was nice and helpful. There were a lot of cool places to access the Little Kentucky River to play and skip rocks. Our campsite had fire rings, a grill and picnic table! We can’t wait to come back to Hones Pointe!

Steve's land was clean, clearly marked, and welcoming. Lots of space in between primitive sights with many right alongside the river. Steve was very helpful.
Would definitely camp there again.

We really like the Campground. Nice secluded area. Most of them are campsites for tenting. But the six sites that were available for our fifth wheel trailer were really nice. Lots of things to do at the campground. Some beautiful sites on the water. The Campground host was quite helpful.

If you're looking for a hidden gem in Kentucky, this campground is it! Nestled along the serene banks of the Little Kentucky River, the views are absolutely breathtaking — the kind that make you want to just sit quietly and soak it all in. The river winds gently past the campground, perfect for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. We spent a couple hours exploring the shore.
The land itself is beautifully cared for, with open fields that stretch into shady patches of old trees, and a few small trails that invite you to wander. Everything feels thoughtfully maintained — you can tell love and pride go into keeping this place beautiful. We had a fantastic fire under the stars, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the night air.
A highlight was definitely the petting zoo, where we got to meet some adorable goats and miniature horses. Scattered around the grounds were also some lovely minerals and rocks giving it a touch of wonder and discovery.
The owner was warm and welcoming. He seemed genuinely happy to have us there, and ready to help with anything we needed. He made the whole experience feel even more special.
There are electric and water hookups available,just in case you have an RV.

Booked a couple nights in advance. Firewood was already stacked by the fire upon arrival. Pull through site for easy in, easy out access. If you’re thinking of staying here go ahead and book it you’ll thank me later.

We love camping there! It was a very nice private camp site. It was right by the water, and was very well kept up. They had two Porta potties that were kept up. The campsite had allot of activities, like hiking, corn hole, horse shoe, swing sets and more. Also has an awesome common area. Just overall a very nice place!!

Camp sites rustic and semi rustic have the full spectrum of cramping. Open sunny sites, shade tree, aside the Little Kentucky River and well equipped pavilion for cooking and comfort for a crowd. Being here in the off season is a bonus for me. Walking the trails and seeing many camp sites all have unique little pleasing design. The host Steve shared the knowledge needed to make our stay quiet comfortable at our dark time arrival. Should I travel near Pendleton Ky. again, I will enjoy another stay.

Great Site; Just Confusing Check-In

RV Sites or Tents w/ power @ water
Great campsite. Only criticism (and this could be just host getting used to HipCamp) was that instructions on finding our specific campsite were confusing. One email said to drive right to the campsite, but the name of the site we listed as "dispersed". Another said stop by the mailbox and text or phone the host. Never received text reply. Called and host picked up immediately. Don't list both if you're not going to respond to both. Finally, it's not an oddity to have request a campsite with power and water even if you don't have an RV. Still, site was clean and well managed. Would suggest making sure campsite is assigned and site name/number sent to campers ahead of time.

We had an awesome experience tent camping at Steve's. The weather was perfect, we had the whole back field to ourselves, and our dogs loved being free to romp in the woods! Would definitely recommend.
