This is an enormous property with multiple secluded sights available. All primitive, but water and electric are available at the central parking area for free to have a quick phone charge or refill your water. We do have an STR cabin at this location (please do not disturb the renters) You will not be anywhere near them at your campsite though. Otherwise, There are no neighbors, no noise, no traffic, just wildlife and peace! Please let me know if you prefer a hammock setting, tent pad or a pull through camp slip. We have all 3 upon our 700 acre farm! We do have hook up sites available for an additional fee. We have to pay for the electric and water for these sites so please help us keep the option available by respecting the fee for this amenity. IF YOU NEED HOOK UP electric/water, PLEASE ADD "additional guest" for a one time- $20 fee. This will cover your expense to use the campgrounds hook up slips instead of a primitive site, should you change your mind. And let us know through messages that is your wishes. 👍🏻 We ask everyone to pack out what you pack in and do not damage the trees with knives or axes! (Because it has happened) The property is gated and ask that everyone keep the gate closed entering and exiting. We are 12 miles from the nearest store, so be sure to plan for stops before visiting. Dead limbs can be used for fire, only build fires in the fire rings. Do not burn metalTake EVERYTHING you bring in back out with you! This includes your wipes/toilet paper/garbage.

Horsin' Around Cottage

Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · 2 toilets
This very private forested palisade places you remotely in the hills of bourbon country. With hundreds of acres to explore as far as the eye can see in all directions, enjoy the quiet, no neighbors and no worries atmosphere. Hike the trails, pet the horses, play disc golf, plan a kayaking trip on Rolling Fork River, 5 miles away, lounge in a hammock by the fire, or take a nap! Comfy camping ... that isn't really camping at all. This is your guaranteed “never want to leave” stay!!! This property is engulfed by hardwood and red cedars. The gravel driveway is secured by a gated entrance, that we leave closed. We have picnic tables outside with a fire pit to enjoy while watching the horses graze. Inside: 1 plush queen bed with linens/pillows, 1 sectional sofa for extra guests (no linens provided). Fully stocked kitchen. The detached bathroom is connected to the cottage beneath the porch 10 feet from the entry, it offers two showers, sinks & toilets. The Bathroom has a separate entry to promote the rustic experience and simplified lifestyle. Towels are provided within the cottage. You'll find dozens of rainy-day games in the coffee table and bookcase. We share this property with our guests openly during your stay- Explore it! Just shoot us a quick text if you have any questions about any of the area's access points. Trails are easily identified, you can use our map as a guide, but use google earth or an app to coordinate your location, just in case, it is a large property, but... maybe you want to be lost on purpose!!! Of course, the heart of KY is horses and Bourbon. The Bourbon Trail of New Haven and Bardstown, voted Americas most beautiful city is only 20 minutes away, see our globally known distilleries. Distances: Vernon Douglas Nature Preserve- 5 miles. Log Still Amp- 9 miles. Elizabethtown- 12 miles. Fort Knox- 20 miles. Downtown Louisville or Mammoth Cave National Park are less than 1 hour away.

This campsite offers a tranquil escape with its serene surroundings, clean facilities, and excellent stargazing opportunities. Many reviewers appreciated the well-maintained bathrooms and showers with impressive water pressure, which is often a highlight for those less inclined towards traditional camping. Located conveniently close to local attractions yet far enough for peace, it provides a perfect balance for those looking to explore and unwind. A few guests noted the presence of ticks, indicating a need for awareness during visits, but the overall feedback remains overwhelmingly positive.

50 Amp Camp Lost On Purpose
Great Spot! We stayed one night in a 20-foot camper van. We were impressed by the well-equipped, very clean bathrooms and overall tidiness of this small and pretty campground . The camper sites are pretty level and drained very well despite constant rain all night. The gravel driveway in and out of the campground also drained well and we had no issues with mud. The directions are clear and the host is very responsive. We hope to stay here again!

Too Much to Explore in One Trip!

Lost On Purpose Campgrounds
This is a PERFECT spot to take someone for their first camping trip. Easy to find and down a short private road the campsite opens up to a well maintained, and setup camping area featuring easy back in slips, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs around a fire pit, and solar lights at the steps to the bath house. The sites are orientated to give great views of the night sky and facing west for great sunset viewing. I have to gush some about the bath house: flushing toilets, running hot and well temp water, and a shower with pressure. That alone will take care of the biggest angst people have about camping, BUT THEN THERE'S MORE! Hair dryer, 115V power, mirror, knick-knacks, laundry basket, a shower that MEANS it for pressure; I have spent much more for much less comfort. I took a friend on their first ever camping trip and even with the weather being too hot to explore the property, we had a great time and made life long memories. Far enough away from major roads to limit background noise but close enough that a meal in town and acquiring a fine bottle of local bourbon isn't an unreasonable trip. Too hot to make the s'mores but sipping a bourbon by the fire, listening to the cicadas and owls, and picking out constellations made for a great couple of evenings. TYSM and looking forward to returning!

This is one of the best Hipcampa we’ve ever stayed at. Jill was delightful from beginning to end. The campground is peaceful and serene and beautiful. The bath houses were brand new and the very nicest we’ve ever seen at a Hipcamp. This campground is remote, but it is 35 minutes from Bardstown for bourbon tasting, and just over an hour from Mammoth Cave National Park. Did I mention it’s a beautiful drive to both places?? We golfed at My Old Kentucky Home and had a wonderful five nights. Please book this hidden gem!!

We loved tent camping on Jill’s land. Nice flat spots for our tent. Bathrooms very conveniently placed close by and really clean and nice. Showers were hot and great water pressure. The horses were cool to walk up too in the morning right behind our campsite. It was peaceful and quiet. Would stay again if ever in the area. We also felt very safe with being on gated land!

If you are looking for a pristine, remote, boondocking stop, this is one of the best. You are nestled safely behind a gate, with views of horses and beautiful wildlife. The bathhouse has two immaculate half baths with high shower heads for those tall folk, and water pressure that will keep you talking about the shower long after you've left the site. Oh, and if you arrive receiving severe flood warnings, have no fear - the site is up high, safe from rising waters. If we find ourselves in Kentucky again, we will certainly be return guests.

The property is very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed some pretty sunsets. The bathrooms were very nice with excellent water pressure. We woke up one morning and had a couple fawns playing around the tree line, which was fun to watch. I also moved a boxer turtle out of the road, so keep an eye out for wildlife on the road up to the property. We did not have any issues with ticks around camp. The grass is mowed. My wife and I will definitely stay here again.

I arrived late and had a hard time finding the carabiner. It blends in very well with the rest of the chain. The place itself was nice. The water in the shower didn't stay hot for me even though they said it was instant heated water. I got to see the horses.

Gypsy is very kind and the accommodations are great! I appreciate that there was a full bathroom and a place to charge my phone. I will say…keep an eye out for ticks, I slept in the hideaway spot and found more than 10 on me at one point. Use the showers to do a tick check every day.

True definition of secluded in nature. Was able to get in the creek and follow for miles all directions. Crystal clear waters flowing from up top and all the history it carries with it! Nothing but the sounds of deer calls for bed down, owls, the wind and the trees speaking to you, and stars at night. It was definitely a heavy feeling to have to leave, but I can’t wait to get back again this season and do some more exploring. I will say this is a primitive campers advantage for sure. The wind up in the mountain can cut and rain can come in at any moment. Temps about 10 degrees or so colder than actual. I prefer cold weather camping myself but if you’re not confident in your primitive skills, I’d stay to the warmer months. All in all, can’t wait to get back to this 125 acre beauty. Thank you for sharing what you have with us!
