Hones Pointe was established in 1988. It was built by four insurance agents to elude our sales managers in a unique natural setting. Over the years, we have planted many different varieties of trees and perennials to observe. Also evidence exists of this area being an Indian camp long ago as suggested by arrowheads and an old handmade rock wall. Primitive camping where you can pick your own scenic spot. We will furnish picnic table, fire ring, garbage can, and charcoal grill during your campout. Welcome!

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 36 ft

Enjoy the seclusion of Hones Pointe. It's located in a valley on the Little Kentucky River. The property has been landscaped over the past 35 years. River banks are full of fossils, and wildlife is abundant. This area is newly constructed, so there is very little shade. Sites are near the petting zoo and have a path for access to the Little Kentucky River.

This campsite is a delightful escape for those seeking a blend of nature and friendly hospitality. The campground offers a variety of private and spacious sites, many near the Little Kentucky River, perfect for fishing or simply relaxing by the water. Campers appreciate the well-maintained grounds and the host's warm and helpful demeanor. While most reviews glow with praise, a few note navigation challenges upon arrival and the absence of a dump site for RVs, suggesting a need for better initial guidance.

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.
