Learn more about this land: This is a beautiful 200 acre farm that has been in my family for over 100 years. My father (at age 93) still harvests hay on 100 of the acres twice annually. Primitive campsites range from soft and scenic rolling fields with mountainous backdrops to completely wooded areas with the wild Rockastle River within 1 mile from the property. Discover a rare campsite available between two cliffs that the Native Americans originally called home. It remains just as they found it. There is an easily accessible large flat cliff area perfect for multiple tents and campfires! However, if a little more comfort is your style, you can unplug and unwind in a two story cabin located on a beautiful and secluded 2 acre pond with a dock and pier that can be reserved for $85 nightly. I classify the Lakehouse Cabin as primitive glamping! Wildlife is present every single day! We are near two Wildlife management reserve areas and completely surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forrest. Deer, turkey and so much more can be observed daily in their natural habitat. This is truly an amazing and rare gem right here in our beloved Bluegrass State!This is a beautiful 200 acre farm that has been in my family for over 100 years.

Bridgett's campsite offers stunning views, peaceful scenery, and a warm welcome, making it a perfect getaway for nature lovers. Guests appreciate the variety of camping spots, from open fields to wooded areas, and the convenience of amenities like firewood. Though the hike to the river can be a bit challenging, the serene beauty of the landscape and the opportunity to explore waterfalls and wildlife make it worthwhile. Some feedback points to minor maintenance issues, like the condition of the outhouse, but the overall experience remains overwhelmingly positive due to Bridgett's attentive hosting.

Sunset Point

24 ft Class B

We stayed on Sunset point, which was absolutely gorgeous! It’s a bit of a hilly drive to the site but worth it. There is hiking access down to the river that we enjoyed. Bridgett is super accommodating and helpful! She and her pups brought us a nice bundle of firewood, and we enjoyed the private, amazing views!

We stayed at Sunset Point and it was amazing! Ground was relatively flat and we had plenty of space to set up our tents. The views were great and we understand why it's called Sunset Point! Bridgette was super helpful and even came to check on us the first night to make sure that we didn't need anything. We will be back!

Great spot and beautiful view. I really enjoyed camping right there on the farm. The goats kept me company and the dogs made me feel safe. Bridgett is so friendly and helpful. I even got to meet her father who is over 90! What a treat. One can feel the love on this family farm.

Tent · With kids

This was a very private and peaceful place. Met with host upon arrival. Host provided us with ideas and options for things we may want to check out. You do not see host again unless you need something. No other campers were around us during our stay. River was about a mile walk down from where we set up camp. Perfect litte area by the river to get in if you needed to cool off. Just remeber that what hikes down must then hike back up. The view from the tent was beautiful and peaceful every morning. We would love to see this place again in the fall. Perfect campsite, Excellent views, and a great host!!!

Beautiful waterfalls

30 ft Class A

Beautiful beautiful place! The walk down to the river is gorgeous with the mossy boulders and little waterfalls. The waterfalls were a great surprise. We spent a few hours just exploring the woods, creeks, and cliffs. We loved having the whole place to ourselves and look forward to returning.

Best experience ever!!

Not only was this one of the most BEAUTIFUL properties I've ever seen, but Bridgett was absolutely INCREDIBLE. The most generous & hospitable hostess I've ever had. She went above & beyond to make me & my dog feel so welcomed & completely comfortable on her land. We had the BEST experience & will undoubtedly be back...sooner than later I hope! I cannot say enough good things here...just so awesome!!! ❤️

Sunset Ridge is Amazing!

34 ft travel trailer · With kids

Bridget was a great host who welcomed us even with our late arrival. Plenty of room to maneuver a 34 foot camper and get a spot with a beautiful view. Wood was at site upon arrival. Had about a mile hike to river and seemed like a two mile hike back. Very safe and well maintained trail. Such a beautiful hike and good times enjoying skipping rocks and cooling down in the river. Brought my family of 8 and definitely would visit again.

There are a lot of options to choose from on a place to camp. Wooded, open field, on a cliff, good sunset, good sunrise, your choice. Awesome host that ensures you have everything you need and very friendly. Highly recommended. If you need a place to camp, go here!

This is a beautiful place, but heads up. The outhouse is falling in and should not be used; the weeds are an option but are a poison ivy haven. There is one place for a hammock but the trees are entwined with poison ivy. The listed Native American rock bluff canyon is beautiful but also being used as a brush and vintage garbage dump. There are livestock dogs that are vigilant in running off dangers and do bark throughout the night doing their job. The host is very nice. Water was readily accessible. View is beautiful.

Amazing stay and beautiful views!

It was great upon arriving! I enjoyed meeting the pups and exploring the property. The cabin and pond are so cute and fun to venture around. I loved the spot I stayed at. It has an amazing view and the sunset was awesome. Bridgett was so kind and helpful and even showed me a hidden canyon area with rock outcroppings. I enjoyed the fireflies at night, pretty sure I heard an owl and the stars were brilliant. Woke up to the smell of honeysuckle after a peaceful nights rest. Most importantly, as a solo female traveler I felt safe and had plenty of private space. I really loved that Bridgett checked on me via text before bed too to make sure I was doing well. Very kind and thoughtful.
